Health effects of TETRA
BfS and the Federal Agency for Digital Radio of Security Authorities and Organisations (BDBOS) reached an agreement to pay adequate attention to basic requirements of radiation protection and to information and risk communication when setting up the new digital voice and data communication system for security authorities. The terms of condition are that BDBOS finances research projects aiming at clarifying open scientific questions for risk evaluation of the electromagnetic fields used for TETRA. Two research projects were carried out which are already completed.
