International Comparison of Base Station Exposure Levels (Updated)
November 2013 | Viewpoint

Two recent studies have published comparative analyses of data from surveys of mobile phone base stations. The first study investigated more than 173 000 measurements from the year 2000 onwards in more than 20 countries across five continents. The second study contained almost 260 000 measurement points from seven African countries over two time frames from 2001 to 2003 and 2006 to 2012.
