Scientific uncertainties regarding potential effects of high frequency electromagnetic fields on human beings and animals are caused by a variety of factors…
When assessing research results, high quality standards have to be applied. Methodological failings such as missing data on exposure or the state of the animal or subject, as well as missing control experiments complicate the analysis and interpretation of research results regarding potential health effects on human beings.

Data on quantitative and qualitative analysis of test results have to be as detailed as possible and therefore comprehensible. This includes e.g. information about the number of test animals as well as cell preparations in cell experiments and the statistical method applied.

On the 9th and 10th of June 2004, the WHO conducted an international workshop in Istanbul on potential adverse health effects on children through exposure to low frequency and radio frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF). Scientists specialised in different disciplines developed recommendations on future approaches to research in this field. The recommendations are published as "New Children's EMF Research Agenda" (www.who.int/peh-emf/research/children/en). The integral points are summarised as follows.

The BfS maintains and operates an in-house literature database on the subject "non-ionising radiation". Research results published on the subject in accredited scientific journals are promptly collected and assessed. Assessment of research results and statements of the BfS to selected subjects are introduced as follows.
