Evaluation of scientific studies in the low dose range. Status: December 2012

This report updates the assessment of the health effects of high-frequency radiation based on newly published studies on human beings in the period from October 2006 to December 2012. Generally speaking, exposure to high-frequency radiation from fixed transmitters is pleasingly low, and at this exposure level no harmful effects on health have been scientifically established to date. However, there are almost no methodologically sound long-term observations. It is therefore not possible to make a reliable assessment of any potential long-term risks at this time.
