Mobile telecommunication is rapidly developing as an element of social
technological infrastructure. However none of the specialised scientific
organisation could confirm, that mobile phones EMF is unharmful for human
health. Numerous researches reveals more questions than answers. World
health organisation consider, that the consequences from mobile phones’
EMF exposure of individuals as well as human population in whole aren’t
known enough , therefore we have to continue the scientific researches and
provide the precautionary policy. According to precautionary principle we
have to make all efforts to decrease the risk for human health, even finally
unproved.
Mobile telecommunication systems drastic increasing, though we have
no final results of EMF biological influence researches. It means that mobile
phones’ value for society is more important factor, comparing with real and
possible risks for human health.
Refer to the law project “About the basis of technical regulation in
Russian Federation” sellers should provide goods safety for consumers, this
means that mobile phones’ sellers and manufactures have to confirm their
equipment safety. However it takes time to adopt the law and work out the
mechanism of its realisation.
In such conditions we consider that the most actual and rather fast
method to provide the population safety is let to know the objective and actual
information that allows to generate own opinion and make realised choice in
all aspects of the problem «Mobile phones and health».
Such programs should be aimed to mobile phones services’ consumers
(voluntary risk group) as well as to other population who don't use mobile
phones, but exposed by mobile telecommunication EMF (involuntary risk
group. Now authors are developing the information support complex for
population “Mobile telecommunication and human health”, which includes
the web-site (www.ecopole.ru), popular scientific book and several leaflets
names as “Mobile phones”, “Base stations”, “To children up to 16 is not
recommended ”

Now Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
carries out (spend) the constant analysis of achievement of scientific
community on a problem of electromagnetic safety of the population, as well
as recommendations of the World health organization (WHO) and
International commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
We also make an estimation of a real situation in the country.
The committee recognizes presence of a problem of probable adverse in-
fluence EMF on health of the population. For last 35-40 years we have a
sufficient material giving an opportunity to establish dose dependence EMF,
as well as influence frequency characteristics EMF on bioeffects.
However, now there is the important establishment fact of cumulation of
bioeffects in conditions repeated and chronic EMF exposure of small inten-
sity.
Pays on itself attention a completely new situation in connection with
wide use of cellular communication. The large group of the users by cellular
telephones has daily EMF irradiation of structures periphery of nervous
system and head brain, on the one hand, and the overwhelming part of the
population is exposed to a constant compulsory EMF irradiation from base
stations, on the other hand.
There is till now unsolved problem of a role of EMF modulation in
development of bioeffects. This problem practically is not taken into account
in definition MPE of EMF.
The members of Committee give the large attention to a scientific
substantiation and development of sanitary rules for EMF and harmonization
of them with the international recommendations and standards, and also the
decisions a WHO are taken into accoun
