Radio waves and Health
RADIO FREQUENCY EXPOSURE AND HEALTH
Mobile phones and other wireless communications offer convenience and a sense of personal security for millions of people around the world. In order to function, all mobile phones use radio waves, or radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields, to send and receive speech, text messages, pictures and other data.
While the available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with the radio waves from mobile communications, some people express their concerns. These concerns have been addressed by health authorities around the world, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
HIGHLIGHTS
Under Downloads, fact sheets and brochures are available in several different languages.
"Mobile communications and health ", an Ericsson Review article originally from 2003, was updated in October 2007.
The extensive Ericsson brochure called "Radio waves and health: Mobile communications" covers exposure limits, health research related to radio waves, electromagnetic safety and exposure from mobile phones and radio base stations.
For information on electromagnetic safety related to third generation (3G) mobile communication networks,see the 3G web page.
