Uncertainty : A Factor Explaining the Evolution of Environmental Crises Sick building syndrome is a collective disorder whose symptoms are nonspecific.

Today, new environmental fears are central to individual and collective concerns. The development of our society creates new kinds of risks whose medium- and long-term effects are unknown. The term ‘emerging risks’ relates to the occurrence of new dangers, new exposures, new behaviors, or a recent legal or collective awareness. These kinds of risks...

Wireless technology applications using RF fields are constantly changing. Mobile devices are used in new ways, and new technologies are developed (LTE and fourth generation mobile communication technology (4G)), but it is not always possible to observe or to foresee the precise impact these changes may have on exposure of the general population or...
