In May 2000, following the publication of the report by the Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones, the Government asked the RA to implement two measures relating to mobile phone base stations.

1. To undertake an audit programme measuring emissions from base stations to ensure they do not exceed International Commission On Non-Ionising Radiation Protection guideline levels.

2. To provide a web based facility, Sitefinder, containing the location of each operational, externally sited base station in the UK and information specific to each of these base stations.

These web pages have been set up to provide further information on these two measures as well as general information on mobile phone base stations.

On these pages you will also find information on measurements of multi-user site emissions.

The RA is, however, not the Government Department responsible for local planning matters or health issues relating to mobile phone base stations and masts. Contact details and websites for the Government Departments dealing with these issues can be found on this website.
