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.
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.
New draft safety standard for radio wave exposure
ARPANSA has released a consultation draft of the new safety standard for exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic energy – also known as radio waves.
ARPANSA contributes to 5G inquiry
ARPANSA has provided a submission to the 2019 parliamentary inquiry into the benefits and challenges of 5G – the fifth generation of the mobile telecommunications network.
The submission provides information about the safety of radio waves from 5G.
New electromagnetic energy action plan
ARPANSA has released an action plan outlining activities that will be undertaken as part of the Australian Government’s Electromagnetic Energy (EME) Program.
Telecommunications regulator reports low exposure levels at small cell sites around Australia
Earlier this year, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) measured the level of radiofrequency electromagnetic energy (RF EME) the public is exposed to at 59 small cell sites across Australia.
5G and other telecommunications do not affect the immune system
With the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, some members of the public are concerned about the human immune system and whether it can be compromised by wireless telecommunications sources such as 5G.
Updated international radiation safety guidelines
The International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has released new guidelines for radiofrequency radiation protection.
