Abstract

There was performed an analysis of the literature data on the characteristics and dynamics of changes in the electromagnetic environment associated with the uncontrolled intensive development of cellular communications, as the most active system for the formation of mobile communication tools related with electromagnetic fields (EMF) created by non-ionizing radiation (NIR) as base stations and subscriber terminals (ST). It is summarized the main medico-biological features of the influence of EMF radio frequency range (RFR) on the body and patterns of the formation of the density of the flow of energy (DFE) NIR. There are considered the main principles of the formation of regulatory base underlying in the basis of ensuring biosafety these funds in Russian Federation (RF) and abroad, including influence on the central nervous system (CNS) and remote consequences, in particular on cancergenezis, as well as grounds for their adjustments and modernization. Special attention is paid to the negative impact of EMF RFR on critical groups of the population, first of all, children. There are given ways of reducing the intensity of the RFR, creating conditions to reduce radiation exposure by users. There was performed comparison of frequency modulations means of mobile communication with the frequency characteristics of organ and intracellular functional systems of the human body. It’s presented goal, tasks and measures for the project foundations of the conception of EMS of the RF for the period to 2025, developed based on the hearings as of problems in the Committee on social policy at the Council of the Federation, held in 2017-2018 years.
