Norwegian Institute of Health, report by Feychting et al
"Older studies, as well as recent high quality studies, provide no clear evidence of negative effects of exposure to weak RF fields on the immune system."
The Expert Committee was established in spring 2010 and was composed of individuals with expertise in environmental and occupational medicine, biology, physics, metrology, biophysics, biochemistry,epidemiology and philosophy, as well as expertise in administration and risk management:
Report from the Expert Committee appointed by the Norwegian Institute of Health, commissioned by the Ministry of Health and Care Services and the Ministry of Transport and Communications:
"The Expert Committee considers the increased risk reported in some case-control studies to be inconsistent with the results from studies of time trends based on cancer registry data in either the Nordic or other countries. Overall, the available data show no association between exposure to RF fields from a mobile phone and fast-growing tumours, including gliomas in the brain which have a short induction period (time from exposure to disease)."
ICNIRP guidelines are used in more than 80 countries. ICNIRP collaborates with WHO. WHO decides on its advice on an independent basis.
"The Committee does not recommend the building of “electronic-free” treatment rooms in hospitals, but that affected patients should be given appropriate medical assistance with support and practical measures."
"There is no reason to recommend reduced exposure to RF fields as a tool to reduce general concerns about the hazardous effects of electromagnetic fields."
Overall, there is little indication that exposure to weak RF fields adversely affects fertility.
The few studies that do exist do not provide evidence that exposure to weak RF fields during pregnancy has adverse effects on the foetus.
"the studies of high quality present no evidence that weak RF fields have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system."
"Previous and recent studies do not provide evidence that exposure to weak RF fields adversely affects the hormone system in humans."
"At present, there is little to suggest that exposure to weak RF fields causes changes in gene expression that can be linked to adverse effects in humans."

Subject: Feychting and Hillert cannot find any health risks in Norway either
English summary: http://www.fhi.no/dokumenter/
They are experts everywhere who finds and know nothing, same procedure in Norway
kind regards
