There’s also an article much shorter than 200 pages at
http://www.fhi.no/eway/default.aspx?pid=240trg=Content_6765Main_6664=6894:0:25,7553:1:0:0:::0:0MainContent_6894=6765:0:25,7558:1:0:0:::0:0Content_6765=6729:100854:25,7558:1:6770:2:::0:0
This article also indicates there’s little value in further research.

*Subject:* [PSES] Norwegian RF Study
*The Norwegian Institute of Public Health released a study of
electromagnetic exposure to humans earlier this year. You can get a PDF for
free by going to*

*then click on the little British flag in the top right corner to get
English (well, unless you like to read Norwegian). Then just type
“electromagnetic” into the search box and you should be offered a download
for “Low-level radiofrequency electromagnetic fields – an assessment of
health risks and evaluation of regulatory practice. NIPH report 2012:3”*
* *
*The executive summary is:*
* *
*The Committee has assessed the health hazards from low-level
electromagnetic fields generated by radio transmitters. These
electromagnetic fields are found around mobile phones, wireless phones and
networks, mobile phone base stations, broadcasting transmitters and other
communications equipment. The Committee has evaluated the power of the
fields, whether they pose a health risk, the current regulatory practice,
and whether the threshold limit values for exposure are observed.*
*The health authorities have determined that the threshold limit values for
electromagnetic fields around transmitters in mobile phones and other
equipment should be the same as those recommended by the International
Commission on Non-ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The threshold
limit values are based on fields above a certain power that can cause
harmful heating of tissue. The ICNIRP has not observed other adverse health
effects under this level. *
*The threshold limit values for these fields are 50 times below the level
that causes heating of human tissue or stimulation of nerve cells. Due to
increasing public concerns, the government requested the appointment of an
Expert Committee to assess whether such low-level electromagnetic fields
could cause health effects. **Regarding equipment that provides the lowest
exposure, such as base stations, wireless networks, broadcasting
transmitters and proximity to other mobile phones, the experts believe that
the risk assessment has negligible uncertainty. In other words, it is
reasonably certain that such equipment is not associated with health risks.
*
*The report is approximately 200 pages long and includes Norwegian and
English summaries.*
