'Concerns about the impacts on the public health and safety of radiofrequency (RF) exposure are increasing with the rapid proliferation of cellular mobile telecommunication systems and devices. There is also lack of confidence surrounding the applicability of stated health safety rules.....'
#ICNIRP
In a soon to be posted review, Jim Lin, UIC & ex-ICNIRP, deplores the “substantial incongruities and inconsistencies in the ICNIRP guidelines and IEEE/ICES standards," and the “less trustworthy appraisals [of] many of the recent WHO sponsored systematic reviews.”

A review commissioned by the WHO has concluded that cellphone radiation causes cancer in animals. The review found that #RF radiation from #cellphones and other #wireless devices increases the risk of malignant tumours previously identified in human studies.

'The findings of this systematic review indicate that there is evidence that RF EMF exposure increases the incidence of cancer in experimental animals with the CoE being strongest for malignant heart schwannomas and gliomas.'

#RF #EMF #Cancer
Last & most important WHO #RF systematic review is out.
It concludes:
There “is evidence that RF EMF exposure increases the incidence of cancer in experimental animals with the [certainty of evidence] being strongest for malignant heart schwannomas and gliomas.”

'From its inception, WHO-EMF had close ties with ICNIRP .....
A large number of ICNIRP commissioners and committee members are listed as authors for the WHO-EMF systematic reviews .....
These concerns advance issues of reviewer independence and potential for conflicts of interest.'
