answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2019 answer text <p>The independent Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (AGNIR) published a comprehensive evidence review in 2012. The group’s overall conclusion was that although a substantial amount of research has been conducted in this area, there is no convincing evidence that electromagnetic field exposures below guideline levels cause health effects in either adults or children. The guideline levels are those of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, as used in the United Kingdom. Public Health England has committed to keeping emerging evidence under review and preparing another comprehensive review when sufficient new evidence has accumulated. The AGNIR report can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/radiofrequency-electromagnetic-fields-health-effects" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/radiofrequency-electromagnetic-fields-health-effects</a></p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/01/2019 17:29:39 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
