Bad news France 2025

Bad news from France

The year 2025 ended with two pieces of bad news regarding exposure to radio frequencies in France.

First, in November, ANSES (the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety) published its study on radio frequencies and cancer, which concluded that ‘the available data do not allow us to conclude whether or not exposure to radio frequencies has a carcinogenic effect on humans’, which the media falsely transformed into ‘ANSES has just said that waves do not cause cancer’.

And now, in December, the ANFR (National Radio Frequency Agency) has decided to raise the ‘atypical point’[1] attention threshold from 6V/m to 9V/m on 1 January 2026, despite the opinion of an overwhelming majority of citizens who expressed their views during the public consultation.

Disgusted, the associations that sit on the agency’s dialogue committee decided to suspend their participation since they are not being listened to.

This new alert threshold will inevitably result in a significant increase in electromagnetic pollution, to the detriment of public health, and will force EHS sufferers to hide away even more.
