General reviews and information on RF fields (these reports mostly go into a lot of detail, but usually provide a brief summary of key findings and conclusions).

- At the request of Health Canada, in 2014 the Royal Society of Canada reviewed proposed changes to the Canadian RF exposure limits (which are similar to those used in New Zealand), and whether they provide adequate protection. A public summary is also available.
- The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) published a review of the scientific literature covering the period 2000 - 2012 in 2014.
- The Nordic radiation safety authorities issued a brief statement on the safety of exposures from mobile phones, base stations and wireless networks in December 2013.
- The Norwegian Institute of Public Health published an assessment of health risks of low-level RF fields, and an evaluation of regulatory practice, in September 2012. An English version of the summary is available.
- The Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Science Research has published (June 2012) a review of research carried out in the previous ten years, concentrating on mobile telephony.
- The UK Health Protection Agency's Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation published a comprehensive review in April 2012.
- The Health Council of the Netherlands reviewed the effects of RF fields on children's brains in 2011.
- A chapter from a book on wireless communications provides a brief overview of over 30 "expert group" reports published between 2009 and 2011.
- The International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an independent scientific organisation recognised by the WHO for its expertise in this area, published a review in 2009.
- There is an English summary of a French expert group report prepared in 2009, and a second report published in 2013.
- The UK Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research programme published its first report, covering research into areas such as cancer, electrical hypersensitivity, brain function and biological interactions, in 2007. A second report, covering more work on cancer, the effects of signal modulation, and exposure assessment, was released in 2014.
