  • The EPOS data satellite thematic services allow mapping and studying the recent Morocco earthquake
    The EPOS data satellite thematic services allow mapping and studying the recent Morocco earthquake On 8 September 2023 (22:11:00 UTC), a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck southern Morocco, causing widespread damage and thousands of fatalities. Thanks to an automated processing system developed in the framework of the Satellite data thematic core service (TCS-SATD) of the EPOS-Research Infrastructure (EPOS-RI) [1], it is now possible to shed new light on dramatic phenomena such as this one, providing valuable scientific insight to both scientists and hazards prevention activities. Developed by a team of researchers at CNR-IREA and INGV, the…

  • Special Issue of the journal "Bioengineering"
    Special Issue of the journal "Bioengineering" IElectric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (EMF) are widely used in everyday life and in specific occupational environments. EMF-based technologies employ different parts of the spectrum, from static fields to low and high frequency electromagnetic fields encompassing millimeter waves and THz. Exposure to these fields raises concerns about the possible effects on human health, especially due to the diffusion of 5G networks, which are expected to have a major impact on exposure scenarios. On the other hand, biomedical applications of non-ionizing…

  • Published the Opinion of the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks on the possible risks from exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields
    Published the Opinion of the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks on the possible risks from exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields The debate on the potential health effects due to exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic fields is increasingly heated, especially in recent years following the introduction of 5G technology which will lead to an increase in speed and optimization of internet performance as well as new connection experiences for users. To take full advantage of the large amount of experimental data available in the scientific literature and provide evidence of the possible health effects, a new approach has been emerging in recent…
