Secondly, can the deployment of mobile phone base stations have greater acceptance with RF EMF exposure reduction? The findings with respect to the first question clearly indicated that the cognitive framed exposure perception is the main determinant of RF EMF risk perception.

Overall, preliminary evidence for decoupling effects were found across a broad range of problem areas including substance abuse, …
