<p>Public Health England (PHE) has published a webpage about exposure to the radio
waves from mobile phone base stations, including those for 5G networks, at the following
link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health</a></p><p>This
explains the health-related reviews and assessments have been performed, as well as
the practical measures that are in place to protect public health.</p><p>Based on
the accumulated evidence and reviews, PHE advises that the guidelines of the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) should be adopted and there
is no convincing evidence that radio wave exposures below the ICNIRP guideline levels
cause adverse health effects.</p><p>While a small increase in overall exposure to
radio waves is possible when 5G is added to the existing network, the overall exposure
is expected to remain low and well within the ICNIRP guidelines.</p><p>PHE continues
to monitor the health-related evidence applicable to radio waves, including in relation
to base stations, and is committed to updating its advice as required.</p>
