## Key values

- **Limit value:** 61 V/m — Regulatory value — legally enforceable — Annex, Table 2, row 11: E = 61 V/m, H = 0.16 A/m, S = 10 W/m². Poland's pre-2020 environmental limit of 7 V/m (0.1 W/m²) was one of the strictest in Europe and is frequently still quoted. [poland-mz-2019-2448, poland-5g-limits]
- **Quantity:** electric field strength
- **Frequency band:** 2–300 GHz
- **Population:** general public
- **Set by:** Poland environmental EMF limits (Dz.U. 2019 poz. 2448) (Regulation of 17 December 2019, in force 1 January 2020)
- **Kind:** Regulatory — legally enforceable
