The WHO International EMF Project

This project was launched because of concerns about possible health effects from exposure to EMF sources in everyday life. It is not in itself a research program, but is designed to facilitate a global approach to research. The project started in 1996, and has a target completion date of 2005. Its core budget is $600,000 per year for 10 years.

European Commission

The Fifth Framework Research Programme conducts research that is funded jointly by the European Commission, industry, and sponsoring academic institutions. Grants have been awarded for five projects that will examine health effects of mobile phone radiation and EMFs.

United States: FDA/CTIA Research Agreement

In June 2000 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the USA signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA). The FDA provides research recommendations and oversight and the CTIA provides funding. The initial work is planned to focus on two topics - genotoxicity and epidemiology. The research will be done over 3-5 years.

In June 2001, three contracts were signed with research institutions in the USA, Italy, and Germany to explore various aspects of micronucleus formation.

Further details can be seen at the FDA web site www.fda.gov/cdrh/ocd/mobilphone.html.

Australia

The Australian Government has provided $4.5 million over four and a half years for the Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy Program, which will support research into and provide information to the public about health issues associated with mobile phones, mobile phone base stations and other communication devices and equipment.

Finland

Finland has a national program that is coordinated by Professor J. Juutilainen of the University of Kuopio. Seven projects are being conducted in the areas of:

  • Enhancement of cancer
  • Hypersensitivity symptoms
  • Methods for testing the relationship between bioeffects and modulation parameters
  • Exposure systems for animal and cell culture studies
  • Simulation methods for electromagnetic exposure
     

France


COMOBIO is the acronym for the French Research Program on Biological Effects and Certification of Mobile Phones. It is part of a larger Program, the National Network for Research on Telecommunications, funded by the Ministries of Industry and Research. There are 8 subprojects that are complementary to other national or international research activities such as those developed within the Fifth European Framework Program. Fifteen groups are involved in dosimetry, animal and human studies.

Japan

In 1997 the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications established the Committee of the study on human exposure to EMF. A number of studies are underway.

United Kingdom

The Department of Health in the UK has allocated $ 10 million (US) for the "Mobile telecommunications and research programme (MTHR)", which was established in response to the report by the Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones. Sir William Stewart, Chair of the Expert Group, has been appointed chair of a Programme Management Committee.

International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC)

This agency is part of the World Health Organization. Its mission is to coordinate and conduct research on the causes of cancer, the mechanisms of carcinogenesis, and to develop scientific strategies for cancer control.

IARC is coordinating a series of multi-national case-control studies to assess whether RF exposure from mobile phones is associated with cancer risk. Other potential environmental and endogenous risk factors will also be examined. The types of cancer studied are acoustic neuroma, glioma, meningioma, and tumours of the parotid gland.

Arbeitsgemeinschaft Interaktionen Elektromagnetischer Felder mit Biologischen Systemen 

Ziele 

Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft möchte dazu beitragen, die zugrundeliegenden Phänomene der Wirkungen schwacher EMF auf biologische Systeme aufzuklären. Dabei sollen in erster Linie die primären Wirkmechanismen untersucht werden; rein phänomenologische Untersuchungen sind nicht im primären Blickfeld der beteiligten Forschergruppen. 

Zum Einsatz kommen etablierte biologische Systeme, die mit gängigen zellbiologischen, genetischen, immunzytochemischen und elektrophysiologischen Verfahren analysiert werden. Besonderes Augenmerk wird auf exakte und reproduzierbare Expositionsparameter gelegt. Dieser Ansatz impliziert eine stark vernetzte, koordinierte und interdisziplinär angelegte Forschung. 

Mittelfristiges Ziel aller beteiligten Forscher und Forschergruppen ist die Etablierung einer Infrastruktur, die das effiziente und koordinierte Zusammenarbeiten ermöglicht. Die bis dahin in etwa jährlichem Abstand stattgefundenen bzw. stattfindenden Treffen dienen der Vorbereitung dieses Ziels.
