Understanding EME & Radio Communications

Some people are concerned about possible health effects from the Electromagnetic Energy (EME) generated by radio frequency technology. CSL is committed to addressing these concerns and places high importance on effective and responsible management of EME issues.

For more information about EME, how mobile networks and mobile phones operate, what the safety standards are for mobile phones and network infrastructure, and how CSL operates its networks responsibly in order to minimise community impacts, please download this document

The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has reported no evidence of health hazards from mobile phones. There are two review papers, one addressing epidemiological evidence related to mobile phones and one reviewing evidence for the the full radio-frequency (RF) spectrum.
