چکیده
8.5.4. Improve communication about policy and government involvement in risk regulation Low trust in the government in combination with low perceived control over exposure is related to a higher perception of health risks of public sources of EMF, and is likely to induce protests on the part of citizens. Transparent communication about potential conflicting interest of the government and making it more known to the public that the government has an active role in regulating EMF technology and its potential risks (e.g. monitoring risks, instigation of policies regarding exposure limits, and monitoring enforcement of these limits) could improve the trust in government risk regulations. If people are more aware of the government’s involvement, they may have more trust in risk regulation and lower their demands for exposure reduction by the government.
