Because children may have an increased risk of developing childhood leukaemia when exposed to long term, man-made magnetic fields over 0.3 μT,* we will promote regulation of smart devices and associated technology sold or distributed in Australia so as they do not irradiate a magnetic field on or above 0.3 μT. Epidemiological studies show a two-fold increase in childhood leukaemia associated with average exposure to magnetic fields above 0.3 to 0.4 μT.

We will promote that 0.3μT becomes the maximum long term exposure limit for man-made magnetic fields.
