WHO announces members of the Task Group on Radiofrequency Fields and Health Risks

Due to the importance of this message, we are posting the entire contents of the message received from Dr. Joel Moscowitz, University of California, Berkeley, on 20 December 2022.

WHO announces members of the Task Group on Radiofrequency Fields and Health Risks

[Comments of Dr. Moscowitz]:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced the 21 experts selected for the Task Group on Radiofrequency Fields and Health Risks. These individuals are responsible for examining ten research reviews and making recommendations for the WHO Environmental Health Criteria (EHC) Monograph on Radio Frequency (RF) Fields and Health Risks to be published in 2023.

The list of 21 experts selected by the WHO for the Task Group on Radiofrequency Fields and Health Risks appears below along with information I compiled regarding task group members' EMF publications and affiliations with ICNIRP, the self-selected group that recommends RF exposure limits which are promoted by the WHO.

Eleven of the 21 individuals have current or past affiliations with ICNIRP. Most of the other individuals have published or presented papers defending ICNIRP's RF exposure limits. A recent study found that ICNIRP heavily cites its own members' research and that of their close colleagues to support the ICNIRP exposure limits (Nordhagen and Flydal, 2022).

IARC Will Soon Reassess RF Cancer Risk —Or Maybe Not - Director Sends Mixed Signals

IARC Will Soon Reassess RF Cancer Risk —Or Maybe Not
Director Sends Mixed Signals

Microwave News, December 12, 2022

Elisabete Weiderpass at the podium
 in Paris

On November 23, Elisabete Weiderpass, the Director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), revealed that a new assessment of the evidence linking radiofrequency (RF) radiation to cancer would likely take place in early 2024. A formal decision could come within a few months.

Calls for a new IARC evaluation have been mounting for some years following the release of two large animal studies showing elevated tumor counts after lifelong exposure to RF radiation. Many believe that the animal experiments leave the Agency little choice but to increase the cancer risk classification at least one notch to “probable” from the current “possible,” or perhaps to its highest classification, a known human carcinogen.1

But, as Weiderpass made clear on making the announcement at a conference in Paris,2 the RF–cancer risk might instead be downgraded and the “possible” classification removed.

The stakes are high. RF health concerns have long been on the back burner, a situation made possible by industry-friendly exposure standards that discount cancer risk. An upgrade would most probably change all that. The ongoing siting of hundreds of thousands of new 5G antennas would add fuel to the fire.

France: SAR Measurements: ANFR’s Reprehensible Omissions

SAR measurements: ANFR’s reprehensible omissions

By : Jean-Philippe, phonegatealert.org/en, 13 Dec 2022

In a press release dated December 7, 2022, the French National Agency of Frequencies (ANFR) publishes the SAR measurements it carried out in 2021 with a one-year lag. The agency’s database, which we obliged it to make public in 2018 by legal means, currently includes 862 test reports, carried out between 2012 and 2022.

More tests, but incomplete ones and not protecting health

141 mobile phones were therefore checked in 2021 – compared to 95 the previous year –, which our NGO, from whose came the alert and the first sanctions against the manufacturers, welcomes. However, we note with regret that the head SAR has only been measured for 14 of them (10%), which is totally insufficient.

When Will They Come Clean Over the Radiation Risks of 5G?

When will they come clean over the radiation risks of 5G?
By Gillian Jamieson, conservativewoman.co.uk, 12 Dec. 2022

DOES citing peer-reviewed studies on the health impact of 5G and wifi make you a ‘conspiracy theorist’? The ‘Broadband and the road to 5G’ inquiry run by the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee seems to suggest so.

Before I explain further, I’d like to ask about your relationship with your smartphone. Do you love it so much that you would keep it on your person even if you knew it could damage your health?

A friend of mine used to go running with her smartphone in her bra and before she knew it had stage 4 breast cancer. In his later years my father had his wirelessly connected iPad on his lap much of the time. He lost the power in his thighs and got dementia. Does my suggestion of some connection seem outlandish to you? If so, please keep reading!

EU: 5G on planes, Wi-Fi on the road – Commission decision opens up new opportunities for innovation

5G on planes, Wi-Fi on the road – Commission decision opens up new opportunities for innovation
Press Release, European Commission, 24 November 2022

Airlines will be able to provide the latest 5G technology on their planes, alongside previous mobile technology generations as the Commission updated the implementing decision on spectrum for mobile communications on-board aircrafts, designating certain frequencies for in-flight 5G technology.

(Photo) : Passengers aboard flights in the EU will be able to use their mobile phones to the maximum of their capacity and features, just like with a ground-based 5G mobile network.

Thierry Breton, Commissioner for the Internal market, said:

5G will enable innovative services for people and growth opportunities for European companies. The sky is no longer a limit when it comes to possibilities offered by super-fast, high-capacity connectivity.

United Kingdom: Full steam ahead for 5G – and let’s not even think about the damage to health

Full steam ahead for 5G – and let’s not even think about the damage to health
By Gillian Jamieson, conservativewoman.co.uk, 29 November 2022

ON December 13, Michael Mansfield QC will lead a case at the Royal Courts of Justice in London against the Government concerning the negative health effects of 5G and other non-ionising (or radio-frequency) radiation. Permission to present this case was granted at the Court of Appeal earlier this year because of Government ‘failure to give adequate information to the public about the risks of 5G and to explain the absence of a process for investigation of any adverse health effects’.

The committee which is tasked to ensure that our health is protected from radio-frequency radiation (RFR), also known as electromagnetic fields (EMFs), is the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE).

I was staggered when they told me two years ago: ‘COMARE has not previously reported on possible health effects from EMFs and at present there are no requests from government departments for the committee to provide advice on this issue.’ Furthermore, their July 2019 minutes reveal that ‘COMARE has not been asked to look at 5G concerns and therefore does not have a 5G strategy’.

He also edited a book entitled Biological Effects and Medical Applications of Electromagnetic Energy and co-edited a book entitled Electromagnetic Biointeraction.

France: SAR Display: Alert Raised by the DGCCRF!

SAR display: alert raised by the DGCCRF!
By : Phonegate Team • 26 Nov 2022

In a statement, dated November 23, 2022, the French General Directorate for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Prevention (DGCCRF) revealed major breaches by distributors of mobile phones and connected devices (the list has not been made public).

Indeed, these companies are required to display on their products, since July 2020, information about the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values. This being mandatory on every device emitting electromagnetic waves – not just cell phones, as was the case before.

61% of checked SAR displays, considered as abnormal

However, checks carried out in 2021 by the DGCCRF revealed the absence of display in many cases. Worse, investigators discovered non-compliant displays, some showing a value of zero, which is technically unfeasible.

Thus, 270 institutions out of the 470 visited were considered abnormal, like 61% of the devices checked. The investigation ultimately resulted in 212 warnings, 53 summonses and 8 fines.

For Dr Marc Arazi, president of “Phonegate Alert” NGO :

“DGCCRF work is essential, insofar as it will force distributors to comply with the law. However, in light of such alarming results, we call on the government to opt for stricter regulations, in order to protect the health of all mobile phone users, both at national and European level.”

Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields May Affect Heart Health, New EWG Analysis Finds

Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields may affect heart health, new EWG analysis finds
By Uloma Uche, Ph.D (EWG),  Tasha Stoiber, Ph.D. (EWG), Olga Naidenko, Ph.D. (EWG), Environmental Working Group, 22 Nov. 2022

Electromagnetic radiation in the radiofrequency range emitted by cell phones, tablets and other wireless communication devices is absorbed by the human body and may affect heart health, according to a new EWG analysis.

Human and animal research studies show that the cardiovascular system is sensitive to radiofrequency radiation. The developing organism, from the fetal stage through early life, is especially vulnerable to these exposures and their potential harms.

France: List of cell phones withdrawn or updated for deception and endangering users (November 2022)

List of cell phones withdrawn or updated for deception and endangering users
By : Phonegate Team • 21 Nov 2022

These are now 37 different models of cell phones, identified as dangerous for the health of users, that have been either withdrawn from the French market or have had their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) updated by software. Latest ones: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and the Wiko Y82.

Samsung has been given a 7,500 euros penalty

In its press release published on the 18th of November, the French National Agency of Frequencies (ANFR) revealed that it detected too important SAR values on two other cell phones. First of them, the Galaxy Z Flip from Samsung, has initially been measured with a trunk SAR of 2.05 W/kg, the regulatory level being fixed at 2 W/kg. It even raised to 3.024 W/kg after the first software update made by the company. A second one has thus been necessary to make the cell phone compliant, the trunk SAR being brought back to 1.04 W/kg. By the way, Samsung has been penalized with a 7,500 euros fine.

U.S. Aviation Sector Calls for 5G Wireless Deadline Extension

U.S. aviation sector calls for 5G wireless deadline extension
By David Shepardson, reuters.com, 15 Nov. 2022

WASHINGTON, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Air carriers will be unable to fully meet deadlines to retrofit planes to avoid interference from latest generation 5G C-Band wireless service, the aviation industry said Tuesday, urging the White House to help avert a standoff.

(Photo): A Southwest commercial aircraft flies near a cell phone tower as it approaches to land at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California U.S. January 18, 2022 . REUTERS/Mike Blake/File Photo

Concerns that 5G services could interfere with airplanes' altimeters, which give data on a plane's height above the ground and are crucial for bad-weather landing, led to disruptions at some U.S. airports earlier this year.


A letter signed by Airlines for America, Boeing (BA.N) Airbus (AIR.PA), Embraer (EMBR3.SA), aviation unions and others backed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) request to mandate an extension of mitigation by wireless carriers as airlines retrofit radio altimeters.

Canada: Apple and Samsung Phones in the Dock

CANADA: Apple and Samsung phones in the dock

by Karim Benessaieh, La Presse, 11 November 2022 (auto-translation)

Seven Quebecers who accuse Apple and Samsung phones of emitting "toxic" waves, and their manufacturers of cheating during certification tests, partially won their case on September 22: the Superior Court authorized their class action.

THOMAS PETER PHOTO, REUTERS ARCHIVES
Seven Quebec plaintiffs filed a class-action lawsuit in March 2019 claiming that Apple and Samsung phones emit more radiation than the accepted North American standard of 1.6 watts per kilogram.

Judge Christian Immer, however, significantly reduced their claims. He dismissed numerous accusations, including some he called "patently unfounded, untenable and frivolous," to bring the case down to a few central issues. Does cell phone radiation pose a risk when these devices are held very close to the body? Are manufacturers sufficiently informing their customers about these risks? Should they then pay punitive damages?

United States: Microwave Injured Veterans Network

Microwave Injured Veterans Network 

https://www.microwavedvets.com/news

Microwave Injured Veterans Network (MIVN) focuses on helping veterans to better communicate their injury to primary care providers. According to Pew research there are around 20 million veterans living in the U.S. Those veterans that are sensitive to microwave radiation due to their injury unfortunately have to be aware of the amount of microwave radiation around and inside of their residence and workspaces. While most people never think about these devices as harmful microwave injured veterans have to consider removing WiFi from their homes and not living inside of the radiation lobule of a cellular tower or small cell facility. We believe that these veterans have a right to accommodation without shame or ridicule.

JUST PUBLISHED! Investigative Report on the US Government and Wireless Radiation

Breaking News: ProPublica just published a major investigation into how the FCC is shielding wireless companies' issues regarding health, safety and the environment!    In the report, investigative journalist and senior reporter Peter Elkind covers everything from the Pittsfield Massachusetts Board of Health Order regarding the Verizon Cell Tower, the National Toxicology Program animal study finding cancer and DNA damage and how the U.S. FCC human exposure limits for cell phones, cell towers and wireless radiation are decades out of date.   Elkind interviews numerous experts, including those who used to work at the FCC and US government agencies, all of whom are cautioning that the science has linked exposure to harmful effects and safety is not assured.    “We’re really in the middle of a paradigm shift,” said Linda Birnbaum, who was director of the National Toxicology Program until 2019. It’s no longer right to assume cellphones are safe, she said. “Protective policy is needed today. We really don’t need more science to know that we should be reducing exposures.”   The article features the Environmental Health Trust et al. lawsuit against the FCC which found that "the FCC had failed to meet “even the low threshold of reasoned analysis” in finding that its limits “adequately protect against the harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation unrelated to cancer.”    The article also highlights EHT's database on international policy action and the Wyoming Governor Marc Gordon's letter to the FCC calling for "immediate action as directed by the courts to review the research and update any policies as necessary for the health and wellbeing of all citizens, including the most vulnerable, our children."  READ THE PROPUBLICA INVESTIGATION

For 13 years he used the phone on average 2.5 hours a day for work purposes. When the former technician discovered he was suffering from a benign ear tumor, he asked INAIL to be granted an occupational disease pension. The Turin Court of Appeal proved him right

He used his cell phone for at least two and a half hours every day for 13 years. And now the INAIL has also been sentenced on appeal to grant him a professional disability pension for falling ill with acoustic neuroma, a benign tumor affecting a nerve in the ear.

Six Italian Courts Have Ruled that Cell Phones Cause Brain Tumors

We are re-posting this article, in view of the latest Italian court ruling concerning compensation of a victim of an intracranial tumor of the acoustic neuroma linked to the use of cell phones.

Six Italian Courts Have Ruled that Cell Phones Cause Brain Tumors
By Martine Vriens and Dafna Tachover, published by hildrenshealthdefense.org, 21 January 2020

[Note: This article has been adapted and updated, with permission, from an earlier article published on May 29, 2019 by We Are the Evidence.]

On January 13, 2020, Turin’s Court of Appeals confirmed a 2017 decision determining that a former Telecom Italia worker’s acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor in the ear) was caused by his mobile phone use. This is the sixth time that an Italian court has affirmed a causal link between cell phone use and brain tumors, including decisions by the High Court of Italy.

The Appellate court reached its decision after a review of the evidence and after receiving the opinion of two court-appointed experts. The experts referred the court to studies indicating that individuals who speak on their phones for an average of 30 minutes a day for at least 10 years increase their risk of developing head tumors. After considering this evidence, the Appellate court in Turin stated, “There are solid elements to affirm a causal role between the exposure of the person to radiofrequencies from mobile phones and the disease that arose.”

Cellular and Cancer: The Industry Loses a Worried Ally

Cellular and cancer: the industry loses a worried ally
by André Fauteux, La Maison du 21e Siècle, November 3, 2022 (Google translation)

American researcher 
emeritus James C. Lin

One of the most renowned scientists on the biological effects of radio frequency (RF) radiation used by cellular technologies, Dr. James C. Lin, says that the latest studies "give consistent indications that exposure to RF is probably carcinogenic to humans”.

A pioneer in electromedicine and professor emeritus of electrical engineering and biophysics at the University of Chicago, Dr. Lin is the past president of the prestigious Bioelectromagnetics Society, present in 40 countries. He is also a distinguished former member of the two organizations that created RF exposure limits, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Like several experts, today he disputes the validity of these limits based on the assumption that only the heating of tissues by RF would be dangerous.

New Challenge to ICNIRP - Dissident Scientists Seek Tighter Health Limits - Will They Succeed Where Others Failed?

Microwave News writes about the new International Commission on the Biological Effects of EMF (ICBE-EMF). Among its 11 principals or Commissioners are Henry Lai and Ronald Melnick of the U.S., Igor Belyaev of Slovakia and Suleyman Dasdag of Turkey (full list below). Moskowitz is one of the new panel’s eight “special experts,” as are Sweden’s Lennart Hardell and Wenjun Sun of China.

New Challenge to ICNIRP - 

Dissident Scientists Seek Tighter Health Limits
Will They Succeed Where Others Failed?

microwavenews.com, 1st Nov. 2022

An international group of research scientists has come together to challenge ICNIRP, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.

The new panel wants a complete revision of ICNIRP’s guidelines for exposures to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. The researchers are demanding the adoption of more scientifically rigorous standards, which better protect public health and the environment.

“We are calling for an independent evaluation of the limits,” Joel Moskowitz of Berkeley Public Health, an arm of the University of California, told Microwave News. This needs to be done, he said, because ICNIRP’s guidelines are “based on smoke and mirrors.”

Carcinogenesis from Chronic Exposure to Radio-Frequency Radiation: New Paper by Dr. James C. Lin

Carcinogenesis from chronic exposure to radio-frequency radiation
Dr. James C. Lin, Front. Public Health, Sec. Radiation and Health. 31 October 2022. 

doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.1042478

Open access paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2022.1042478/full

Dr. James C. Lin, one of the world's most renowned scientists who has studied the effects of radio frequency (RF) radiation, and a distinguished former member of the two organizations that created the RF exposure limits, the International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), challenges the validity of these safety limits.

He concludes in his latest peer-reviewed paper:

"The simple and effective public health notion of 'An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure' may conjure up old fashioned. It may arouse intense reactions, with enormous defiance especially from individuals who may be beneficiary of modern promotions. The cellphone and allied wireless communication technologies have shown their direct benefit to people in modern society. However, as for their impact on the radiation health and safety of humans who are subjected unnecessarily to various levels of RF exposure over prolonged durations or even over their lifetime, the jury is still out. Furthermore, there are consistent indications from epidemiological studies and animal investigations that RF exposure is, at least, probably carcinogenic to humans. The principle of ALARA—as low as reasonably achievable—ought to be adopted as a strategy for RF health and safety protection."

It is urgent to raise collective awareness around the health danger of wireless technologies, which concerns everyone, and to organize better inclusion regarding the disability that electromagnetic waves cause

(Photo): An international gathering of

electrohypersensitive people (EHS) took place on 18 June 2022 - DR

In June, about a hundred of us gathered in one of the last areas protected from the waves in Wallonia. Why ? All of us develop symptoms near wireless telecommunications devices and antennas: wifi, 4G, Bluetooth headsets, DECT landline telephone, telephone antennas near the home... For many of us, the first symptoms could not be diagnosed in time because they were confused with other pathologies, leading to a very disabling evolution of the latter: headaches, burning ears, concentration problems, tingling in the limbs, tinnitus, sleep disorders , nausea and the feeling of a burning brain, extreme fatigue, failing short and long-term memory...

New International Authority on Electromagnetic Fields

New international authority on electromagnetic fields
EMR Australia, posted 29 October 2022

There’s a new and weighty authority on the international EMF landscape. It’s the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF), launched on 18 October and it’s raising the bar for standard-setting worldwide.

The new Commission combines a wealth of expertise. It is a multi-disciplinary consortium of scientists, doctors and related professionals who are, or have been, involved with research on the biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields. Its Chairman, Ronald Melnick is an experienced toxicologist who designed the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) long-term study on rats and mice exposed to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and managed this study for the first 10 years. (The study ultimately found a link between mobile phone radiation and tumours.)

Call for European Collaborative Action to Protect Cell Phone Users Health

Call for European collaborative action to protect cell phone users health
By : Phonegate Team • 26 Oct 2022

Our NGO Phonegate Alert is launching an important collaborative action with Europeans for Safe Connections to write to each of the national telecom regulators in the 26 countries of the European Union.

We are counting on both european partner organizations and citizens to take action to achieve real health protection for cell phone users in the wake of the Phonegate industry scandal.

Our common goal is to raise awareness among all official actors of the European telecom regulation by the end of the year.

Washington State: A Back-door Strategy Successfully Leapfrogs Government Gridlock to Stymie Future Wireless Overreach

This press release from the association CLEAR in Langley, Whidbey Island, WA, may be of interest to local activists in the U.S. who are concerned about the accelerating push of huge towers and distributed 5G minicell systems.

A Back-door Strategy Successfully Leapfrogs Government Gridlock to Stymie Future Wireless Overreach
Citizen League Encouraging Awareness of Radiation  - CLEARwhidbey.org

Press Release, 27 October 2022

A local activist with organization CLEAR successfully crowd-funded a bullet-proof Campanelli wireless code for the small city of Langley, WA! A first such for the state! 

Local activists in the U.S. are concerned about the accelerating push of huge towers and distributed 5G minicell systems. They have heard often that revising their local city or county telecommunications code is an essential safeguard against FCC-enabled stealth and bullying tactics of Big Wireless. There is an expertly recognized body of recently developed legally protective clauses needed to bolster old codes. They empower governments to take back local control of planning and safety from Big Wireless. The challenge is to get local authorities to act as they fear technical complexity and they tremble about legal trouble from the FCC or big telecoms. They hide behind inaction, citing budget and staff shortages. After navigating a maze of trial and error, Mark Wahl of CLEAR put together a quick, successful pathway for informed citizens to achieve a state-of-the art protective wireless code; it uses a fraction of the usual time, expense, and effort. This challenge-resistant code for the City of Langley, WA is now legally binding and reachable with this link: Langley’s PERSONAL WIRELESS FACILITIES code .

France: List of Cell Phones Withdrawn or Updated for Deception and Endangering Users

List of cell phones withdrawn or updated for deception and endangering users
By : Phonegate Team • 23 Oct 2022

To date, 35 different models of cell phones that are dangerous for the health of users have been either withdrawn from the French market or have had their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) updated by software.

SAR exceeded for ONEPLUS 7 PRO mobile phone
