The following just announced in U.K. -- without any public fanfare.


Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The terms of reference and membership of the Expert Group, chaired by Sir
William Stewart, have been approved by the Minister for Public Health, Rt
Hon Tessa Jowell. 

The terms of reference are as follows: 

“To consider present concerns about the possible health effects from the
use of mobile phones, base stations and transmitters, to conduct a rigorous
assessment of existing research and to give advice based on the present
state of knowledge. To make recommendations on further work that should be
carried out to improve the basis for sound advice.”

Members of the Expert Group have been chosen to encompass an expert
knowledge in epidemiology and experimental biology related to exposures to
electromagnetic fields and radiofrequencies, and also a knowledge of social
science, risk perception and legal issues. 

There are members with medical and scientific skills in oncology, physics,
statistics and neurophysiology. One member is from the World Health
Organization (WHO) and there are two members from the NRPB Advisory Group
on Non-ionising Radiation (AGNIR). There are member(s) with lay interests. 

In addition to full Expert Group members there will be observers from the
Board of NRPB, from the Department of Health (DH) and from the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI). NRPB staff will provide the secretariat and
