The aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of contents related to communication and information on the exposure to the electromagnetic fields (emf) in the first 100 Italian Internet sites, carried out using the search engine Google with the key words "emf" and "emf and health". Each Internet site has been evaluated using 10 selected indicators: (1) Definition of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields; (2) Description of the physical effects of the emf; (3) Description of biological and health effects of the emf; (4) Description of the environmental sources; (5) Description of the environmental levels produced by the different sources; (6) Main legislation; (7) Risk perception; (8) Frequently asked questions (FAQ); (9) Links; (10) Forum for discussion. The sites, obtained for each search, have been classified into 6 main categories: (1) Public Research Institutes; (2) Health and Environmental Authorities; (3) Local Authorities; (4) Associations; (5) Commercial sites; (6) Other. The results show lack of information and communication on the emf in the analysed Italian Internet sites. A need for a design of any scientific Internet information and communication on this topic is shown.
本研究旨在评估意大利排名前100的互联网网站中与电磁场（EMF）暴露相关的通信和信息内容的存在情况，通过使用搜索引擎谷歌，以“EMF”和“EMF与健康”为关键词进行搜索。每个互联网网站都使用10个选定指标进行了评估：（1）电场、磁场和电磁场的定义；（2）EMF物理效应的描述；（3）EMF生物和健康效应的描述；（4）环境源的描述；（5）不同源产生的环境水平的描述；（6）主要立法；（7）风险认知；（8）常见问题解答（FAQ）；（9）链接；（10）讨论论坛。每次搜索获得的网站被分为6个主要类别：（1）公共研究机构；（2）卫生和环境当局；（3）地方当局；（4）协会；（5）商业网站；（6）其他。结果表明，在分析的意大利互联网网站中，关于EMF的信息和通信存在不足。这表明需要针对该主题设计任何科学的互联网信息和通信。
