Abstrakt		Electromagnetic pollution of the environment, and of living quarters in particular, presents one of the greatest present day sources of microclimate pollution. Neon lighting and the radiatoin of individual electronic devices such as computers, printers etc. causes changes in ionic tension in a room and thereby peripheral irritation of nociceptor nerve endings in the skin. Irritation of these nerve endings results in muscle spasm, poorer circulation of metabolic products with a consequent decrease in working concentration, the occurence of chronic pain and the final phase disablement. Measuring of non-ionizing radiation in a certain room still represents a tehnical challenge. At the Maribor Teaching Hospital Department of Medical Rehabilitation, the impact of such radiation was demonstrated by adequte measurements and proved by laboratory analysis of peripheral blood and EEG. It was established that under influence of electronic pollution blood pressure increases by almost15%, and particulary that a change in blood serotonin causes a change in reaction capacity and thus a decrease in the working capacity.
