These limits were based on&nbsp;the results of behavioral studies conducted in&nbsp;the 1980s, which included exposures of 40 to&nbsp;60 minutes in&nbsp;5 monkeys and 8 rats, and then applying arbitrary safety factors to&nbsp;the observed Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 4W\/kg. The limits were also based on&nbsp;two main assumptions: that any biological effects would result from excessive heating of tissues and that no&nbsp;effects would occur below the SAR threshold, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;twelve assumptions that were not specified by&nbsp;either the FCC or&nbsp;ICNIRP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn this paper, we&nbsp;show how the past 25\u2009years of extensive research on&nbsp;RFR [radiofrequency radiation] demonstrates that the assumptions underlying the FCC\u2019s [U.S. Federal Communications Commission] and ICNIRP\u2019s exposure limits are invalid and continue to&nbsp;present a&nbsp;public health harm. Adverse effects observed at&nbsp;exposures below the assumed threshold SAR include non-thermal induction of reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, cardiomyopathy, carcinogenicity, sperm damage, and neurological effects, including electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Also, multiple human studies have found statistically significant associations between RFR [radiofrequency radiation] exposure and increased brain and thyroid cancer risk.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, in&nbsp;2020, in&nbsp;light of the evidence presented in&nbsp;this article, the FCC and ICNIRP reaffirmed the same limits that were established in&nbsp;the 1990s. Consequently, these exposure limits, based on&nbsp;false assumptions, do&nbsp;not adequately protect workers, children, hypersensitive individuals, and the general public from short-term or&nbsp;long-term exposure to&nbsp;RFR. Exposure limits that protect human health and the environment are therefore urgently needed. These limits must be&nbsp;based on&nbsp;scientific evidence and not on&nbsp;false assumptions, especially in&nbsp;the face of increasing human and environmental exposure to&nbsp;RFR, including new forms of radiation from 5G telecommunications for which adequate health effects studies are lacking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who are you? What happened that made you interested in&nbsp;this topic? Why should Polish people trust you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&nbsp;got into this field by&nbsp;accident. During the past 40 years, the bulk of my&nbsp;research focused on&nbsp;tobacco-related disease prevention. I&nbsp;first became interested in&nbsp;cellphone radiation in&nbsp;2008, when Dr. Seung-Kwon Myung, a&nbsp;physician scientist with the National Cancer Center of South Korea, came to&nbsp;spend a&nbsp;year at&nbsp;the Center for Family and Community Health, the research center I&nbsp;direct at&nbsp;the University of California, Berkeley. He&nbsp;was involved in&nbsp;our smoking cessation research, and we&nbsp;worked with him and his colleagues on&nbsp;two reviews of the literature, one of which addressed the tumor risk from cellphone use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At&nbsp;that time, I&nbsp;was skeptical that cellphone radiation could be&nbsp;harmful. However, since I&nbsp;was dubious that cellphone radiation could cause cancer, I&nbsp;immersed myself in&nbsp;the literature regarding the biological effects of low-intensity microwave radiation, emitted by&nbsp;cellphones and other wireless devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/ascopubs.org\/doi\/10.1200\/JCO.2008.21.6366?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&amp;rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&amp;rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2009 review<\/a>, published in&nbsp;the <em>Journal of Clinical Oncology<\/em>, found that heavy cellphone use was associated with increased brain cancer incidence, especially in&nbsp;studies that used higher quality methods and research with no&nbsp;telecommunications industry funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading many animal toxicology studies which found that this radiation could increase oxidative stress \u2014&nbsp;free radicals, stress proteins and DNA damage \u2014&nbsp;I&nbsp;became increasingly convinced that what we&nbsp;found in&nbsp;our review of human studies was indeed a&nbsp;real risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20231109202523\/https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1660-4601\/17\/21\/8079\/htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">we&nbsp;updated our review<\/a>, published in&nbsp;the <em>International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health<\/em>, based on&nbsp;a&nbsp;meta=analysis (i.e. quantitative) analysis of the results from 46 case-control studies \u2014&nbsp;twice as&nbsp;many studies as&nbsp;in&nbsp;our 2009 review \u2014&nbsp;and obtained similar findings. Our main takeaway from this review is that approximately 1,000 hours or&nbsp;more of lifetime cellphone use, or&nbsp;about 17 minutes per day over a&nbsp;10-year period, is associated with a&nbsp;statistically significant 60% increase in&nbsp;brain tumor risk. Since&nbsp; 2016, six other meta-analyses came to&nbsp;similar conclusions since 2016, including a&nbsp;2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/ehjournal.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12940-024-01117-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is ICNIRP (International Commission on&nbsp;Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection), and what do&nbsp;you think about this <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/reveh-2022-0037\/html\"><strong>article<\/strong><\/a><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ICNIRP is a&nbsp;non-governmental organization based in&nbsp;Germany that promotes industry-friendly exposure limits for non-ionizing radiation (NIR). ICNIRP\u2019s self-selected members and advisors believe that their guidelines need to&nbsp;protect humans only from heating (or&nbsp;thermal) effects due to&nbsp;acute exposure to&nbsp;NIR. ICNIRP scientists argue that the thousands of peer-reviewed studies that have found harmful biologic or&nbsp;health effects from chronic exposure to&nbsp;non-thermal levels of NIR are insufficient to&nbsp;warrant stronger safety guidelines. NIR includes RFR used in&nbsp;wireless communication devices in&nbsp;addition to&nbsp;power line frequencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;2019 investigative journalists from eight European countries published 22 articles in&nbsp;major newspapers and magazines that exposed ICNIRP\u2019s conflicts of interest. More recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/author\/37278769800\">Dr. James Lin<\/a>, an emeritus professor of&nbsp; electrical engineering, bioengineering, and physiology and biophysics and former ICNIRP Commissioner, has accused ICNIRP of \u201egroupthink,\u201d a&nbsp;psychological phenomenon that occurs when a&nbsp;group prioritizes harmony over critical thinking that can lead to&nbsp;irrational or&nbsp;dangerous decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article you asked about by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/reveh-2022-0037\/html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nordhagen and Flydal<\/a> pulls back the curtain revealing this modern-day \u201cWizard of Oz\u201d to&nbsp;be&nbsp;a&nbsp;fraud\u2014all smoke and mirrors. They conclude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201e\u2026 the ICNIRP 2020 Guidelines fail to&nbsp;meet fundamental scientific quality requirements and are therefore not suited as&nbsp;the basis on&nbsp;which to&nbsp;set RF&nbsp;EMF [radio frequency electromagnetic field] exposure limits for the protection of human health. With its thermal-only view, ICNIRP contrasts with the majority of research findings, and would therefore need a&nbsp;particularly solid scientific foundation. Our analysis demonstrates the contrary to&nbsp;be&nbsp;the case. Hence, the ICNIRP 2020 Guidelines cannot offer a&nbsp;basis for good governance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nordhagen and Flydal exposed how ICNIRP biases its reviews of the literature to&nbsp;justify its weak RF-EMF exposure guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur analysis shows that ICNIRP 2020 itself, and in&nbsp;practice all its referenced supporting literature stem from a&nbsp;network of co-authors with just 17 researchers at&nbsp;its core, most of them affiliated with ICNIRP and\/or the IEEE [Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers], and some of them being ICNIRP 2020 authors themselves. Moreover, literature reviews presented by&nbsp;ICNIRP 2020 as&nbsp;being from independent committees, are in&nbsp;fact products of this same informal network of collaborating authors, all committees having ICNIRP 2020 authors as&nbsp;members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;contrast to&nbsp;ICNIRP, more than 260 scientists from 45 nations who published peer-reviewed research on&nbsp;NIR and biology or&nbsp;health totalling over 2,000 scientific papers have signed the <a href=\"https:\/\/emfscientist.org\/index.php\/emf-scientist-appeal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>International EMF Scientist Appeal<\/strong><\/a>. The Appeal calls on&nbsp;the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations and all member nations to&nbsp;adopt much stronger exposure guidelines for NIR that protect humans and other species from sub-thermal levels of NIR exposure and to&nbsp;issue health warnings about the risks of NIR exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On&nbsp;January 1, 2021, the Polish government increased the population\u2019s exposure limits to&nbsp;electromagnetic radiation 100 times. The permissible exposure level for EMF was 0.1 W\/m\u00b2 (watts per square meter) for frequencies used in&nbsp;mobile networks. After the change, the limit was increased to&nbsp;10 W\/m\u00b2. A<\/strong><strong>t the same time, the government launched SI2PEM, or&nbsp;the Information System on&nbsp;Installations Generating Electromagnetic Radiation. This is a&nbsp;public database containing information on&nbsp;the electromagnetic field in&nbsp;the environment, run by&nbsp;the Ministry of Digital Affairs. As&nbsp;we&nbsp;read on&nbsp;the government website, \u201ethanks to&nbsp;the system, every citizen will have access to&nbsp;information on&nbsp;where the base station is located, who it belongs to, when it passed all the necessary measurements and certifications, and what their results were.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do&nbsp;you think about this?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As&nbsp;I&nbsp;mentioned, more than 260 EMF scientists believe that this exposure limit is inadequate to&nbsp;protect the health of humans and other species. That year these scientists commissioned ICBE-EMF to&nbsp;represent their position which is based on&nbsp;an objective evaluation of the body of scientific research and calls for much stronger RF-EMF exposure limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why do&nbsp;some people develop EHS (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity), while others do&nbsp;not?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone is sensitive to&nbsp;EMF because our cells operate on&nbsp;bioelectricity.

Many hypersensitive patients appear to&nbsp;have impaired detoxification systems that become overloaded by&nbsp;excessive oxidative stress\u2026.Patients can have neurologic, neuro-hormonal and neuro-psychiatric symptoms following exposure to&nbsp;EMF as&nbsp;a&nbsp;consequence of neural damage and over-sensitized neural responses.\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiciansweekly.com\/electromagnetic-hypersensitivity-ehs-microwave-syndrome-review-of-mechanisms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.physiciansweekly.com\/electromagnetic-hypersensitivity-ehs-microwave-syndrome-review-of-mechanisms\/<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can people suffering from EHS, who are a&nbsp;minority, improve their situation in&nbsp;a&nbsp;democratic society?

Their products are addictive when used as&nbsp;intended, and in&nbsp;the long-term harm non-users as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;those who use them. Both industries expend considerable funding to&nbsp;influence governmental bodies to&nbsp;keep regulation that protects public and environmental health to&nbsp;a&nbsp;minimum but protects industry financial liability. Finally, both industries \u201cwar-game\u201d the science and manipulate mainstream media using industry-friendly \u201cexperts\u201d to&nbsp;create confusion and distrust of the scientific evidence that substantiates the harmfulness of their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is there any universal\/ global legal tool which could be&nbsp;used to&nbsp;defend the right to&nbsp;live in&nbsp;a&nbsp;healthy environment?<\/strong> The precautionary principle. According to&nbsp;this, corporations implementing wireless communications should prove that electromagnetic radiation is not harmful to&nbsp;human health and the environment. Today, they do&nbsp;not possess such evidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You reminded me&nbsp;of the interview I&nbsp;conducted with Prof.&nbsp;Marek Zmy\u015blony entitled \u201eFor me, human health is the most important thing\u201d.<\/strong><br><strong>The expert from the Institute of Occupational Medicine also refers to&nbsp;the precautionary principle. Belgian doctors also refer to&nbsp;the precautionary principle in&nbsp;their Appeal warning against electrosmog.<\/strong><br><strong>In&nbsp;Poland, the Demagog Association discredits you in&nbsp;an article entitled \u201eDo&nbsp;Bluetooth headphones harm? Is radiation safe\u201d. I&nbsp;would like to&nbsp;ask for your comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In&nbsp;Poland, the website Demagog discredits you. What is your response to&nbsp;this?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I&nbsp;am&nbsp;not familiar with Demagog, the organization seems well-intended in&nbsp;its fact-checking mission. Nonetheless, fact-checkers can get it wrong when the science is complex, especially when the preponderance of evidence does not support industry and government interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Demagog story you mention, \u201cBluetooth headphones are harmful? Radiation is safe,\u201d cites an article I&nbsp;wrote in&nbsp;2019 for the <em>Scientific American<\/em> website, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250427075419\/https:\/www.scientificamerican.com\/blog\/observations\/we-have-no-reason-to-believe-5g-is-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We&nbsp;Have No&nbsp;Reason to&nbsp;Believe 5G Is Safe<\/a>.\u201d In&nbsp;this brief article, I&nbsp;responded to&nbsp;a&nbsp;pro-industry opinion piece that claimed 5G is safe with a&nbsp;summary of the evidence why many EMF scientists believe that governmental exposure limits are inadequate. I&nbsp;did not discuss Bluetooth or&nbsp;wireless headphones in&nbsp;this article. <em>Scientific American<\/em> subsequently published a&nbsp;piece that was replete with specious arguments that I&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saferemr.com\/2020\/02\/will-scientific-american-clear-up.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rebutted on&nbsp;my&nbsp;website<\/a> since <em>Scientific American<\/em> refused to&nbsp;continue this debate. I&nbsp;encourage your readers to&nbsp;examine these articles and decide for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What about cordless headphones?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&nbsp;have addressed the safety of Bluetooth wireless headphones in&nbsp;a&nbsp;series of posts on&nbsp;my&nbsp;website, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saferemr.com\/2016\/09\/airpods-are-apples-new-wireless-earbuds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AirPods: Are Apple\u2019s New Wireless Earbuds Safe? (Blood-Brain Barrier research)<\/a>.\u201d Although the research is mixed, 16 studies have found that low intensity RFR can open the blood-brain barrier which would enable toxic chemicals in&nbsp;the circulatory system to&nbsp;penetrate the brain so there is reason for concern. Although this health risk requires further research, I&nbsp;recommend on&nbsp;a&nbsp;precautionary basis the use of wired headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For safety recommendations from various reputable sources see my&nbsp;webpage, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saferemr.com\/2015\/10\/tips-to-reduce-your-wireless-radiation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tips to&nbsp;Reduce Your Wireless Radiation Exposure<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What important question has no&nbsp;one asked you yet on&nbsp;this topic? And what<br>is your answer to&nbsp;that question?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;the 16 years I&nbsp;have been studying this topic, I&nbsp;have been interviewed by&nbsp;hundreds of journalists who have asked virtually every question imaginable. Unfortunately, we&nbsp;don\u2019t have conclusive answers to&nbsp;many important questions due to&nbsp;limited research funding and active interference from government agencies as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;from industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its inception, the WHO EMF Project which was initially funded by&nbsp;the telecommunications industry has promoted industry interests over public and environmental health. \u200bThe ICBE-EMF recently published letters to&nbsp;the editor critical of two new WHO research reviews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/reveh-2024-0069\/html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A&nbsp;critical appraisal of the WHO 2024 systematic review of the effects of RF-EMF exposure on&nbsp;tinnitus, migraine\/headache, and non-specific symptoms<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0160412024007876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The systematic review on&nbsp;RF-EMF exposure and human cancer by&nbsp;Karipidis et&nbsp;al.&nbsp;(2024) has serious flaws that undermine the validity of the study\u2019s conclusions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/10795296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">newly-published paper<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s most renowned EMF scientists,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ece.uic.edu\/profiles\/james-lin-phd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. James C. Lin<\/a>, criticized the WHO\u2019s systematic reviews of the RF-EMF research because they dismiss the substantial evidence for adverse biological and health effects. He&nbsp;concluded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eThe criticisms and challenges encountered by&nbsp;the published WHO-EMF systematic reviews are brutal, including calls for retraction. Rigorous examinations of the reviews reveal major concerns. In&nbsp;addition to&nbsp;the scientific quality, they appear to&nbsp;have a&nbsp;strong conviction of nothing but heat to&nbsp;worry about with RF&nbsp;radiation. The unsubtle message that cellular mobile phones do&nbsp;not pose a&nbsp;cancer risk is clear. The reviews exhibit a&nbsp;lack of serious concerns for conflicts of interest and display unequivocal support for the recently promulgated ICNIRP RF&nbsp;exposure guidelines for human safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From its inception, WHO-EMF had close ties with ICNIRP, a&nbsp;private organization, frequently referred to&nbsp;as&nbsp;the WHO-EMF project\u2019s scientific secretariat. What may not be&nbsp;as&nbsp;apparent for the WHO-EMF systematic reviews is the lack of diversity of views. A&nbsp;large number of ICNIRP commissioners and committee members are listed as&nbsp;authors for the WHO-EMF systematic reviews; some also served as&nbsp;lead authors. These concerns advance issues of reviewer independence and potential for conflicts of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Environmental International published an article in&nbsp;May &nbsp;2025 on&nbsp;the effects of electrosmog on&nbsp;cancer in&nbsp;animals and humans (\u201eEffects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on&nbsp;cancer in&nbsp;laboratory animal studies, a&nbsp;systematic review\u201d). It is a&nbsp;broad review of the scientific research on&nbsp;the subject to&nbsp;date. It was commissioned by&nbsp;the WHO. What are the results of this review?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;contrast, to&nbsp;the review by&nbsp;Karipidis et&nbsp;al.&nbsp;(2024), a&nbsp;WHO review of 52 laboratory animal studies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0160412025002338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cEffects of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Exposure on&nbsp;Cancer in&nbsp;Laboratory Animal Studies\u201d<\/a> by&nbsp;Mevissen et&nbsp;al.&nbsp;(2025), concluded there is \u201chigh certainty\u201d of the evidence linking RF&nbsp;radiation exposure to&nbsp;two types of tumors: gliomas in&nbsp;the brain and malignant schwannomas in&nbsp;the heart. Notably, the same types of tumors have also been observed in&nbsp;human studies, adding significant confidence that the associations observed in&nbsp;human studies are real.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thank you for interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rafa\u0142 G\u00f3rski, Maksymilian Fojtuch<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original article can be found on the website of <a href=\"https:\/\/instytutsprawobywatelskich.pl\/smartphones-wi-fi-routers-and-phone-masts-what-effect-do-they-have-on-your-health\/\">Institute for Civic Affairs, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photos and text courtesy of Institute for Civic Affairs, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We reprint an interesting interview given by a world-renowned expert on the harmful biological effects of electromagnetic fields to the Polish Institute for Civil Affairs in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[166],"tags":[531,202,243,491,672,747,289,573],"class_list":["post-10008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-news","tag-base-stations","tag-children","tag-ehs","tag-icnirp","tag-poland","tag-rfr","tag-usa","tag-who"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Smartphones, Wi-Fi routers and phone masts \u2013 what effect do\u00a0they have on\u00a0your health?
