ARPANSA begins world-first review of radio wave environmental impacts

In another world first, ARPANSA and Swinburne University have joined forces to produce a systematic map of the scientific evidence into the impact of radio waves on the environment.

Environmental EME report

Radiated fields from cellular telephone base stations must comply with safety limits imposed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority. In many cases this includes preparing an Environmental EME Report.

New opportunities for electromagnetic energy research

ARPANSA has launched a new research framework to facilitate research of electromagnetic energy exposures and health.

Radiation Protection Series No. 3

This standard specifies limits of human exposure to radiofrequency fields in the range 3kHz to 300GHz to prevent adverse effects.

How to reduce exposure from mobile phones and other wireless devices

There is no established scientific evidence that the use of mobile phones causes any health effects. Although it is not considered necessary, there are things one can do to substantially reduce exposure.

Mobile phones and health

There is no established scientific evidence that the use of mobile phones causes any health effects.
