Organisation: 50Hertz

In summer 2012, 50Hertz went on a road show to address citizens’ concerns about the negative health effects of a project and to inform about the current status of the “Uckermark-line”.

Electromagnetic fields was one of the most discussed concerns

50Hertz installed a mobile information office in a region where the new transmission line is planned

The office was equipped with a map and information material

Concrete measurements of EMF

12 events within 4 weeks

With a moving exhibition in a truck, 50Hertz visited different municipalities in Brandenburg, which would be affected by the project. The core element of the road show was a measuring device, which shows exact EMF values. 50Hertz intended to reduce the fear people have of the radiation, which cannot be seen or felt directly. By showing exact numbers, 50Hertz created more transparency.
