<p>The United Kingdom supports European Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC on limiting
exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which include radio waves. The Recommendation
incorporates exposure restrictions from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), as advised by Public Health England (PHE).</p><p>An
overview of the radio wave exposure restrictions applied in a range of countries has
been provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) at the following link:</p><p><a

target="_blank">http://apps.who.int/gho/data/node.main.EMFLIMITSPUBLICRADIOFREQUENCY?lang=en</a></p><p>This
shows that the majority of countries are following the ICNIRP guidelines (41 volts
per meter at 900 MHz and 58 volts per meter at 1,800 MHz).</p><p>PHE is a collaborating
body in WHO’s International EMF Project, which brings together organisations from
around the world to share information on this topic. PHE is committed to keeping its
advice under review and to updating its advice should new evidence dictate that is
necessary.</p>
