Information about these studies can be found at the following links:<\/p> <\/p> http://www.thecosmosproject.org/<\/a><\/p> <\/p> http://www.scampstudy.org/<\/a><\/p> <\/p> Advice from Public Health England (PHE) is based on health-related evidence reviews prepared by scientific expert groups in the United Kingdom and around the world. The independent Advisory Group on Non-Ionising Radiation published their report in the UK in 2012 and the European Commission\u2019s Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) published their report in 2015.
