THE GENERAL PROBLEMS OF EMF\nINVESTIGATION\nCONCEPT OF INFORMATION SUPPORT FOR MOBILE PHONE\nUSERS SAFETY ON THE BASIS OF PRECAUTIONARY POLICY\nREALISATION IN PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES.\nGrigoriev O.A.1, Vasiliev O.A.2, Bichelday E.P.1\n1National fund for non-ionizing radiation protection, Moscow, Russia\n2Russian Ministry of public health department for State epidemiological inspection,\nMoscow, Russia\nMobile telecommunication is rapidly developing as an element of social\ntechnological infrastructure. However none of the specialised scientific\norganisation could confirm, that mobile phones EMF is unharmful for human\nhealth. Numerous researches reveals more questions than answers. World\nhealth organisation consider, that the consequences from mobile phones’\nEMF exposure of individuals as well as human population in whole aren’t\nknown enough , therefore we have to continue the scientific researches and\nprovide the precautionary policy. According to precautionary principle we\nhave to make all efforts to decrease the risk for human health, even finally\nunproved.\nMobile telecommunication systems drastic increasing, though we have\nno final results of EMF biological influence researches. It means that mobile\nphones’ value for society is more important factor, comparing with real and\npossible risks for human health.\nRefer to the law project “About the basis of technical regulation in\nRussian Federation” sellers should provide goods safety for consumers, this\nmeans that mobile phones’ sellers and manufactures have to confirm their\nequipment safety. However it takes time to adopt the law and work out the\nmechanism of its realisation.\nIn such conditions we consider that the most actual and rather fast\nmethod to provide the population safety is let to know the objective and actual\ninformation that allows to generate own opinion and make realised choice in\nall aspects of the problem «Mobile phones and health».\nSuch programs should be aimed to mobile phones services’ consumers\n(voluntary risk group) as well as to other population who don't use mobile\nphones, but exposed by mobile telecommunication EMF (involuntary risk\ngroup. Now authors are developing the information support complex for\npopulation “Mobile telecommunication and human health”, which includes\nthe web-site (www.ecopole.ru), popular scientific book and several leaflets\nnames as “Mobile phones”, “Base stations”, “To children up to 16 is not\nrecommended ”\n\nTHE RUSSIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON NON-IONIZING\nRADIATION PROTECTION AND PROBLEM OF ELECTROMAG-\nNETIC SAFETY OF THE POPULATION\nGrigoriev Yu.G.\n$9,90 #080,7. 03970 3899:90 41 458.8 .3897 41 0,9 #:88,3 0/07,943\nMoscow, Russia\nNow Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection\ncarries out (spend) the constant analysis of achievement of scientific\ncommunity on a problem of electromagnetic safety of the population, as well\nas recommendations of the World health organization (WHO) and\nInternational commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).\nWe also make an estimation of a real situation in the country.\nThe committee recognizes presence of a problem of probable adverse in-\nfluence EMF on health of the population. For last 35-40 years we have a\nsufficient material giving an opportunity to establish dose dependence EMF,\nas well as influence frequency characteristics EMF on bioeffects.\nHowever, now there is the important establishment fact of cumulation of\nbioeffects in conditions repeated and chronic EMF exposure of small inten-\nsity.\nPays on itself attention a completely new situation in connection with\nwide use of cellular communication. The large group of the users by cellular\ntelephones has daily EMF irradiation of structures periphery of nervous\nsystem and head brain, on the one hand, and the overwhelming part of the\npopulation is exposed to a constant compulsory EMF irradiation from base\nstations, on the other hand.\nThere is till now unsolved problem of a role of EMF modulation in\ndevelopment of bioeffects. This problem practically is not taken into account\nin definition MPE of EMF.\nThe members of Committee give the large attention to a scientific\nsubstantiation and development of sanitary rules for EMF and harmonization\nof them with the international recommendations and standards, and also the\ndecisions a WHO are taken into accoun","attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1960/attachment_1.pdf"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1960","tags":["child-development","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"1595958a900444508308c320d2a03ef1101213e3f47e9eeb34ad639600fba2ec","slug":"child-development-comment-1960","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1960","body_sha256":"0a8e372aeb520db805c6620b775f3f155a08aefd4114de1ed5d9ca8f3f94f790","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"research","topics":[{"id":"research","evidence":"n enough , therefore we have to continue the scientific researches and\nprovide the precautionary policy.
