Electromagnetic surveys in France
Anyone concerned about electromagnetic radiation levels can now have their home – or any public space – checked out for free.
L’Agence nationale des fréquences (ANFR) began offering the service in June. Homeowners and tenants, with the approval of their landlord, should apply via form Cerfa n°15003*02 which is available from the website service-public.fr. The form must be countersigned by an authorised body, such as a local authority official and the survey will be carried out within a month.
The results will be published at the government site cartoradio.fr which shows radio mast implantations throughout France.
