ICNIRP's Revised RF Exposure Limits Will Ignore Expert Opinions of Most EMF Scientists

Electromagnetic Radiation Safety, June 26, 2019

According to Eric van Rongen, chairman of the International Commission on Non-ionizing Research Protection (ICNIRP), in August or September the ICNIRP plans to publish its revised guidelines regarding safe human exposure limits to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) (100 kHz - 300 GHz).

On April 17, 2019, Van Rongen made a presentation about the revised guidelines to the French National Frequency Agency. The ICNIRP guidelines will still be based only on thermal or heating effects. The Commission continues to ignore the many hundreds of peer-reviewed studies that have found bioeffects and health effects from exposure to low intensity, non-thermal levels of RF radiation.

Van Rongen makes the following claims (see slide 8 of the presentation):

• "No evidence that RF EMF causes such diseases as cancer
•  Results of NTP, Falcioni studies (animals, lifetime exposure) not convincing (statement on ICNIRP website)
• No evidence that RF EMF impairs health beyond effects that are due to established mechanisms of interaction"

The 13 commissioners of the ICNIRP strongly disagree with more than 240 EMF scientists who signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal. These scientists who have published over 2,000 papers in professional journals on EMF and biology or health state ...
