Abstract		Elecromagnetic pollution of the environment and of living quarters in particular, represents one of the greatest present day sources of microclimate pollution. Neon lighting and the radiaton of individual electronic devices such as computers, printers etc. causes changes in ionic tension in a room and thereby peripheral irrittion of nociceptor nerve endings in the skin. Irritation of these nerve endings results in muscle spasm, poorer circulation, the accumulation of metabolic products with a consequent decrease in working concentration, the occurence of chronic pain and, in the final phase, disablement. Measuring of non/ionizing radiation in a certain room still represent a tehnical challenge. At the Maribor Teachig 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 the influence of electonic pollution, blood pressure increases by almost 15% and a change in blood serotin causes a change in reaction capacity and thus a decrease in working capacity.
