Information on Electromagnetic Radiation in Mobile Communications

Objective

FAQtos is a national project that aims to provide relevant information on electromagnetic fields from mobile communication systems to the public. With the exceptional development of mobile communication systems in recent years, and hence, the growth of the number of base stations, the public consciousness in this issue has increased. Through a set of different activities, FAQtos tries to clarify public’s concerns about the possible health hazards, as a consequence of being exposed to electromagnetic fields in every location, or when using a mobile phone.
