Contains studies and evidence for effects on health, with a focus on children.
The International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which set international guidelines on radiofrequency radiation, have dismissed a large body of evidence which has reported increased cancer risks and other health effects below the ICNIRP guidelines: "
World Health Organization, radiofrequency radiation and health - a hard nut to crack", published in 'International Journal of Oncology' 2017, Hardell, L, 51(2): 405-413.
In May 2011 the
World Health Organization's (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
classified
wireless radiofrequency radiation as a Class 2B 'Possible Human Carcinogen'
based on scientific evidence that linked it with increased risks of brain or head tumours, damage to DNA and other types of genotoxicity, increased oxidative stress and evidence from animal studies (
2011 Press Release). '
The Lancet Oncology'
published a concise report summarising the main conclusions of the IARC Working Group in 2011.
The Monograph stated that the classification included exposure to all radiofrequency radiation and not just mobile phones (page 33): “The topic of this Monograph is the evaluation of the carcinogenicity of radiation in the radiofrequency (RF) range (30 kHz to 300 GHz) of the electromagnetic spectrum. This type of radiation is emitted by devices used in wireless telecommunication, including mobile phones, and by many other sources in occupational and general environmental settings”; “it should be emphasized that the evaluations in this volume address the general question of whether RF radiation causes cancer in humans or in experimental animals: it does not specifically or exclusively consider mobile phones, but rather the type of radiation emitted by mobile phones and various other sources.”

The document describes scientific evidence for effects of radiofrequency exposures on humans, animals and plants and discusses these in relation to the European Convention on Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the EU directive on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, the EU directive on the conservation of wild birds, on the precautionary principle as well as on the Bern- and Bonn-conventions on the protection of animals and plants.

ICNIRP, the body responsible for setting the international radiofrequency exposure guidelines, have produced inaccurate and incorrect scientific information.
Organisations should no longer be using these guidelines to assess risk or to assume that all exposures below these guidelines are safe:
