Powerwatch in the UK is probably one of the best sources for research references on RF. Their list is dived by source i.e. cell phones, wifi, etc. (no smart meters yet) and by whether or not the referenced paper shows effects, no effects or other important findings-neither positive or negative.

The MPUC has issued its Examiner’s Report (see also the appendix). The MPUC’s comment period remains open until 11 April.
