BAGNKOK, 17 November 2018 (NNT) - The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) plans to host an ad hoc meeting in Bangkok next March to broaden knowledge about whether radio frequency electromagnetic fields emitted by telecom base stations might possibly cause adverse health effects.

The move follows a recent announcement of the World Health Organization (WHO), which said it has no proof that telecom base stations are harmful to health.

The meeting would be held alongside representatives from the WHO and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.

The NBTC has sought ways to address complaints made against base stations lodged through mobile operators, the regulator and local governments over the past decade.

NBTC Secretary General Thakorn Tantasith said the NBTC will call on all mobile operators and provincial governors to discuss the issue and to publicize the information to those who may have been misinformed.
