Is there any evidence that TETRA affects health?
There has been a substantial amount of research into the effects of radio frequency emissions, including the frequencies used by TETRA, over a number of years. The balance of scientific evidence does not demonstrate any link between radio frequency emissions at levels below the safety standards and adverse effects on health. In its 2007 report MTHR said Mobile phones have not been found to be associated with any biological or adverse health effects. Professor Colin Blakemore, head of the Medical Research Council and a Stewart Inquiry Committee member, has said nobody has established a medical risk and on balance there is no real reason to worry about TETRA. It is certainly no greater risk than a mobile phone The MTHR Report published in 2007 said that none of the research supported by the programme and published so far had demonstrated that biological or adverse health effects are produced by radiofrequency exposure from mobile phones.
