What is the level of exposure from mobile phone base stations and radio towers?
The SCENIHR opinion states: 3.3. Radio Frequency Fields (RF fields) 3.3.1. Sources and distribution of exposure in the population The use of RF sources is widespread in our society. Prominent examples are mobile communication, broadcasting or medical and industrial applications. Information on emissions arising from RF sources is often available and can be used for compliance assessment or similar applications such as in-situ measurements. However, information on the exposure of individual persons is still scarce. Such information is mainly needed for epidemiological studies, and there is a need to optimise methodology to assess individual exposure, e.g. by using and further developing existing exposimeters. It is furthermore important to consider multi-source exposure and not to focus on single sources, e.g. mobile phone base stations. The fact that there is a continuous change of technologies, e.g. from analogue to digital TV, or appearance of new technologies like ultra-wide band (U
