The Norwegian People's Health Department has submitted a report which clears mobile phones and other devices with wireless radio antennas for suspected health hazards. 
An expert group with members from the Norwegian Post and Telecommunications Regulatory, National ray protection, Karolinska Institute and several other authorities and universities prepared the report dealing with the weak electromagnetic fields from mobile phones and other transmitting equipment.
There is no scientific basis for saying that radiation from electromagnetic equipment provides health damage. There is no evidence that radiation can increase the risk of cancer, reduce fertility in men, damage to the nervous system or cause other problems.
The national cancer registries have not registered an increase in the number of cancer cases after the introduction of mobile phones, and there is no scientific data to support the claim that the phone can cause brain tumors.
The Norwegian experts concluded that the levels of electromagnetic fields of mobile phones and other devices must be the same as those recommended by the International Commission for protection against non-ionizing radiation (ICNIRP).
The limits for weak fields is 50 times below the level that can cause heating of tissues or which may get nerve cells to fire signals.  When it comes to electrical hypersensitivity, there is no evidence that there may be genes related to cell phones.
"We have no reason to say that genes are imaginary. But a large number of studies suggest that symptoms may have other causes than physical effects of weak electromagnetic fields of mobile phones, wireless transmitters and other wireless devices," said Jan Alexander, who heads the group of experts.
He adds that patients with such problems must be taken seriously, and calls for more skills in the health system to handle these types of cases.  The fact that the skin around the ear gets hot when you talk long, because phone battery and not the electromagnetic field, explain the researchers.
It is concluded that there is very little likelihood that long-term use of mobile phones provides health risks, which are currently unknown. But still sounds recommendation, you should exercise general caution and limit its exposure, for example by using a handsfree kit.
 
 

Mobiles and WLAN provides no health risk


Norwegian experts have conducted extensive studies.
The Institute presented today a report in which it is clear that there is no scientific basis for saying that the weak electromagnetic fields around cell phones and other transmitting devices and health. The report is made on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Care Services and the Ministry of Transport. The expert group is chaired by by Jan Alexander, Deputy Director of Public Health.
The other members of the group come from Karolinska Institutet, University of Oslo and Akershus, Work Research, Trondheim University Hospital of North Norway, Chalmers University of Technology, NRPA, Post and Telecommunications, National Institute, University of Bergen University of South Trøndelag .
The committee has studied the health effects of weak electromagnetic fields that are mobile phones, wireless phones and networks, base stations for mobile phones, radio stations and other communication equipment. The committee has looked at how strong fields, whether they pose a health risk, the rules and the limits are observed.
The group found no basis for the weak fields around cell phones and other transmitting equipment increases the risk of cancer, impaired fertility in men, other damage to reproduction, other damage to the nervous system, or other diseases and health problems.
LimitsIn a detailed press release from Public Health states that the health authorities have determined that the limits for electromagnetic field around transmitters in mobile phones and other equipment shall be the same as those recommended by the International Commission for Protection against Non-Ionizing Radiation (ICNIRP). The limits are based on field above a certain strength can cause harmful heating of tissue. ICNIRP has no other proven harmful effects below this level.
The limit for weak fields is 50 times below the level that can cause heating of human tissue, or may get nerve cells to fire signals. Due to many reports of concern that the government wanted an expert examined whether such weak fields can still provide health benefits.
The group found no basis for the weak fields around cell phones and other transmitting equipment increases the risk of cancer, impaired fertility in men, other damage to reproduction, other damage to the nervous system, or other diseases and health problems.
Electrical hypersensitivityFor people who say they are electrosensitive, believes that the group has no basis for saying that the problems are imaginary.
- But a large number of studies suggest that symptoms must have reasons other than physical effects of weak electromagnetic fields around cell phones, wireless transmitters and other wireless devices. We have no research to support that action helps, such as reducing the use of mobile or wireless networks. We believe that patients with these health problems must be taken seriously by health care and meet and evaluated by other patients. There is a need for greater expertise in health services for this population, said Jan Alexander in the press release.
The experts believe that there is nothing in the assessment as the basis for applying the precautionary principle.There are encouraged to not incur more of these fields than necessary to achieve the intended benefits.
Most exposed to will be when you talk in your own cell phone. Signal strength increased if there is poor coverage, but can be reduced by using handsfree. At the very bottom of the list comes wireless computer networks of a WLAN / Wi-Fi. However, base stations and broadcast transmitters are located far down.
According to the release, the group of experts reviewed the research summaries that international expert groups have published previously, as well as recent case studies. The material is described as very extensive. A number of studies have been conducted on cells and tissue in the laboratory, in animals and humans. In addition, we have made several population studies and studies emanating from cancer registries in several countries.
