Is increased mobile telecoms traffic a health hazard?
All mobile communications equipment in use in the UK should comply with the Guidelines of the National Radiological Protection Board, which are based on established thermal effects. Whilst suggestions have been made that there are other harmful effects often referred to as being athermal, the view of the NRPB is that there is no convincing scientific evidence for such effects. An independent expert group has been established to review the scientific evidence and is expected to report in May.
