ABSTRACT
The ultimate goal of electromagnetic field (EMF) standards is to protect human health. Exposure limits are intended to protect against adverse health effects of EMF exposure across the entire frequency range and modulation. The Russian standard for base stations has already been in existence for more than 30 years and is more rigid than the maximum level recommended by the International Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The second EMF source of mobile communication—the mobile phone—has no sufficient substantiation on exposure limits. The accumulation of adverse biological effects in the conditions of repeated or long-term chronic exposure is one of the most important criteria for risk assessment of the impact of mobile phone EMF RF on the population to develop appropriate standards. Daily fractional exposures are repeated throughout life. Children have a unique vulnerability. There is a need to develop more appropriate stringent standards to ensure absolute security for growing children.
