The radiation from the phones will remain moderate, it says. The values measured are well below the limit values that are decisive for health effects, according to the report produced for the Swiss Federal Office of Energy. They are even lower than when the previous measurements were taken eight years ago. This is due in part to the development of new, less harmful antennas, it says.
