Welcome to the EMF Explained Series


The EMF Explained Series has been developed by the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) in conjunction with the GSM Association (GSMA) and Mobile Manufacturers Forum (MMF).

The EMF Explained Series is an information resource for people interested in a better understanding of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) and wireless issues.

The EMF Explained Series references national, international and government sources for information on sensitive issues such as health.
