In May 2009 in France was set up committee called COMOP "which was to oversee the experimental reduction of electromagnetic fields of mobile phone masts. The goal was to make mobile telephony systems compatible with the protection of human health. Indeed, there is a growing international consensus about the fact that current legal limits are not sufficient to protect health.
This happened especially through the work of the group of independent scientists who have published the BioInitiative report, which recommends As a preliminary to the drastic reduction in the level of artificial radiation of microwaves at 0.6 V / m, ie. 0.1 μW / cm ².
Organizations throughout the world are calling for some time that applies to a maximum of 0.1 V / m or 0.003 μW / cm ² for all emission sources combined.
Currently, the legal limit in France for the UMTS / 3G is 61V / m, equal to 1,000 μW / cm ² (ie the recommendations of the WHO and ICNIRP), as specified in the decree signed 2002-775 by Lionel Jospin, Prime Minister in 2002.
This limit is based on an exposure period of 6 minutes each call. There is no specific limit for a longer period and this can expose the population to this level of radiation during the day and night.
The French-up who alleged that the then Prime Minister Lionel Jospin signed the Decree on EMF making advice from Jean-Noël Tronc, quae a little later the same year was taken to France Telecom as director of strategy, was then chairman of the board of directors of Orange in Reunion, then CEO of Orange France.
In December 2009, 16 cities were selected in France for a reduction in the level of experimental maximum exposure to electromagnetic fields up to 0.6 V / m.
During a panel discussion with the government, the activist group Robin des toits (Robin Hood of the roofs) suggested to test the lower limit of 0.6 V / m in different cities. They were chosen 238 cities, towns and rural councils that will participate voluntarily in the experiment. This number indicates a growing awareness among local boards of health problems caused by the proliferation of masts in residential areas.
French unions have sent a strong message to the Government to denounce not only the confusion of the law, but also the growing concern of citizens for this new type of pollution at close range.
The Ministry of Ecology has published a list of cities chosen by the committee (COMOP): http://www.next-up.org/pdf/COMOP_experimentation_06Vm_liste_communes_communautes_candidates.pdf
