Electromagnetic fields

Dr. Frank Schönborn, O2 Senior Specialist Mobile Phone Communication & Health in Germany
Our commitment entails that we focus on informing local communities about our plans for expanding the mobile phone network at an early stage.
Parts of the population still harbour concerns about the health effects of mobile telephony. However, the assessment by the experts from the Federal Office for Radiation protection and the German Radiation Protection Commission is unanimous. There is no danger to health if the limits are complied with. We ensure that all our transmission systems and all our products are well within the statutory limits.

We take people's concerns about the possible health effects of electromagnetic fields seriously. All our products and services have values less than all the limits specified in the statutory regulations and scientific recommendations. We also comply with all the limits when expanding our network and consult closely with local authorities when we set up new base stations.
