Abstract

The estimation of the danger for the population and for the bioecosistems of the electromagnetic conditions around of the base stations was given. The insufficiency of the scientific knowledge does not allow to guarantee the safety of the population and of the bioecosystems in the conditions of a round-the-clock long-term influence of EMF RF. WHO recommends to use "Precautionary principle".

Main findings

The paper provides an estimation of potential danger from electromagnetic conditions around mobile radio base stations for the population and bioecosystems. It states that scientific knowledge is insufficient to guarantee safety under round-the-clock long-term RF EMF exposure and notes WHO recommends use of the precautionary principle.

Outcomes measured

  • danger/safety assessment for population
  • danger/safety assessment for bioecosystems/ecology

Limitations

  • Insufficient scientific knowledge is explicitly noted; specific methods, exposure metrics, and quantitative results are not described in the abstract.
