Q &A Regarding Exposures from Cellular Antennas <br /> The Safety Code 6 limits for human exposure to RF Other relevant quotes regarding risks from RF exposure: <br /> fields are designed to provide protection for all age <br /> groups,including children,on a continuous (24 hours a Norwegian Institute of Health,2012: <br /> day/seven days a week)basis. "Exposure from base stations and radio and television <br /> transmitters is significantly lower than from using a mobile <br /> This means that if someone,including a small child, phone and the available data do not suggest that such low <br /> were to be exposed to RF fields from multiple sources exposure could increase the risk of cancer." "There is negligible <br /> for 24 hours a day,365 days a year,within the Safety uncertainty in the risk assessment associated with other sources, <br /> Code 6 limits,there would be no adverse health effects. such as base stations,wireless networks,television transmitters <br /> Safety Code 6 exposure limits are not device specific, and the use of mobile phones by other individuals."' <br /> but the limits do take into account the total exposure <br /> from all sources of RF fields.Health Canada scientists <br /> have concluded(and the Royal Society of Canada has Swedish Radiation Safety Authority,2015: <br /> agreed)on the basis of current scientific data,that no "In line with previous studies,new studies on adult and <br /> adverse health effects will occur from exposure to RF childhood cancer with improved exposure assessment do not <br /> fields at the levels permitted by Safety Code 6. indicate any health risks for the general public related to <br /> exposure from radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from far- <br /> Health Canada reminds all Canadians that their health is field sources,such as base stations and radio and TV <br /> protected from RF fields by the human exposure limits transmitters.There is no new evidence indicating a causal link <br /> recommended in Safety Code 6.The current Safety to exposure from far-field sources such as mobile phone base <br /> Code establishes and maintains a human exposure limit stations or wireless local data networks in schools or at home."4 <br /> that is far below the threshold for potentially adverse <br /> health effects. The limits in Safety Code 6 provide <br /> protection against all known adverse health effects for <br /> all individuals. <br /> 3 Norwegian Institute of Health. 2012. <br /> http://www ncradiaf on.net/Nonlonizing/Docs/RFR/o20- <br /> /o20Norwegian/o201nst/o20of/o20Health/o20on/o20RFR.pdf Accessed <br /> 8/8/2018 <br /> 4 Swedish Radiation Safety Authority.
