What research is being undertaken to examine the potential health effects from RF radiation?
There are a wide range of studies being undertaken within the UK and Europe. The Mobile Telephone Health Research (MTHR) programme, which was set up as a result of the UK Stewart Report, includes work on epidemiology, biological effects, behavioural and measurement studies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) plans to report in 2005 on additional work on mobile telephones. The International EMF Project, established by the World Health Organisation, is assessing health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields in the frequency range 0 – 300 GHz.
