<p>A considerable amount of research has been carried out on exposure to radio waves
over several decades, and evidence reviews have been prepared by scientific expert
groups in the United Kingdom and around the world. Among the health topics investigated
is whether adverse effects can occur in relation to reproduction and development.</p><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>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. This includes effects in relation to reproduction and
development.</p><p>PHE has committed to keeping the emerging evidence under review
and to preparing another comprehensive review when sufficient new evidence has accumulated.</p>
