2.
It is recommended that a national database be set up on a governmental
level giving details of all base stations and their emissions.
3.
It is recommended for existing and new base stations to exploit all
technical possibilities to ensure exposure is as low as achievable (ALATA-principle)
and that new base stations are planned to guarantee that the exposure at
places where people spend longer periods of time is as low as possible, but
within the strict public health guidelines.
4.
Presently the assessment of biological effects of exposures from base
stations in the low-dose range is difficult but indispensable for protection
of public health. There is at present evidence of no threshold for adverse
health effects.
Recommendations of specific exposure limits are prone to considerable uncertainties and should be considered preliminary. For the total of all highfrequency irradiation a limit value of 100 mW/m² (10 µW/cm²) is recommended.
For preventive public health protection a preliminary guideline level for the sum total of all immissions from ELF pulse modulated high-frequency exposure facilities such as GSM base stations of 1 mW/m² (0.1 µW/cm²) is recommended.
