Mobile phone subscriptions continue to increase across the world, with the electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by these devices, as well as by related technologies such as Wi-Fi and smart meters, now ubiquitous. This increase in use and consequent exposure to mobile communication (MC)-related EMF has led to concern about possible health effects that could arise from this exposure. Although much research has been conducted since the introduction of these technologies, uncertainty about the impact on health remains. The Australian Centre for Electromagnetic Bioeffects Research (ACEBR) is a National Health and Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence that is undertaking research addressing the most important aspects of the MC-EMF health debate, with a strong focus on mechanisms, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and exposure dosimetry. This research takes as its starting point the current scientific status quo, but also addresses the adequacy of the evidence for the status quo. Risk communication research complements the above, and aims to ensure that whatever is found, it is communicated effectively and appropriately. This paper provides a summary of this ACEBR research (both completed and ongoing), and discusses the rationale for conducting it in light of the prevailing science.
全球手机用户数量持续增长，这些设备以及Wi-Fi和智能电表等相关技术所发出的电磁场（EMF）如今无处不在。移动通信（MC）相关EMF的使用增加以及随之而来的暴露，引发了人们对这种暴露可能产生的健康影响的担忧。尽管自这些技术问世以来已经进行了大量研究，但对健康影响的不确定性依然存在。澳大利亚电磁生物效应研究中心（ACEBR）是澳大利亚国家卫生与医学研究委员会卓越研究中心，正在开展研究，探讨MC-EMF健康辩论中最重要的方面，重点关注作用机制、神经退行性疾病、癌症和暴露剂量测定。这项研究以当前的科学现状为出发点，但也探讨了支持该现状的证据是否充分。风险沟通研究对上述内容起到补充作用，旨在确保无论发现什么，都能得到有效且恰当的传播。本文总结了ACEBR的这项研究（包括已完成的和正在进行的），并根据当前的科学状况讨论了开展这项研究的理由。
