answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2020 answer text <p><em></em></p><p>Exposure to radio waves is not new and health-related research has been conducted on this topic over several decades. Central to Public Health England’s advice are the guidelines published by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The ICNIRP is formally recognised by the World Health Organisation and its guidelines underpin health protection policies at UK and European levels.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Provided the ICNIRP guidelines are followed, there is no convincing evidence that 5G is dangerous. Government continues to be guided by Public Health England’s advice on the matter. This states that while a small increase in overall exposure to radio waves under 5G is possible, such an increase would remain well within guidelines and can be expected to have no consequence on public health.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>It is important to note that the ICNIRP guidelines apply up to 300 GHz, well beyond the maximum frequencies under discussion for 5G.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 04/02/2020 13:47:25 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
