Measuring new 5G radio waves
Researchers from the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) recently attended a workshop on techniques to measure radio waves in the 24 – 30 GHz range, frequencies which are now being used in the latest implementation of the 5G network.

What evidence exists on the impact of anthropogenic radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on animals and plants in the environment? A systematic map protocol
A systematic map protocol to identify, collate and categorise all relevant evidence on the impact of anthropogenic RF EMF exposure on animals and plants in the environment. Published December 2021.

ARPANSA and RMIT to collaborate on new EME research
ARPANSA has provided funding to RMIT to investigate the impact of non-ionising radiation on cell permeability. This research is funded as the first ‘major project’ under ARPANSA’s new EME Program Research Framework.

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.
Radiation Protection Series S-1 (Rev. 1)
The Standard for Limiting Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields – 100 kHz to 300 GHz (2021), RPS S-1 (Rev. 1) sets limits of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME) for the public and workers.

New study finds no link between mobile phone use and salivary gland tumours
A study conducted by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) and the University of Auckland has found no link between mobile phone use and salivary gland cancers.

World-first reviews into 5G radio waves
Two new scientific reviews conducted by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) and Swinburne University of Technology have found no evidence of adverse health effects from the radio waves used in 5G.
RPS S-1 Advisory Note: Compliance of mobile or portable transmitting equipment (100 kHz to 300 GHz)
This Advisory Note sets out the path to evaluate compliance with the requirements of the ARPANSA Standard for Limiting Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields – 100 kHz to 300 GHz (RPS S-1) for mobile or portable transmitting equipment that emits radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields at frequencies between 100 kHz and 300 GHz.
