Switzerland: 2023 monitoring report on non-ionizing radiation

The 2023 monitoring report presents several problems :

We persist in only taking into account the RMS values ​​(effective average values) and not the peak values, whereas it is mainly the latter which are decisive for the impacts at the biological level.

These measured values ​​are compared in this way to the maximum admissible immission value according to the ORNI [Ordinance on protection against non-ionizing radiation] which is much too high (up to 61V/m) because it is based solely on considerations of thermal effects, even though the BERENIS expert group [Swiss expert group on electromagnetic fields and non-ionizing radiation] mandated by the FOEN [Federal Office for the Environment] acknowledged having observed effects at values ​​lower than the maximum emission values ​​authorised for installations, which are 5V/m as a general rule.

Exposures that are already far too high according to the biological criteria of EUROPAEM [European Academy for Environmental Medicine] and habitat biology are declared as "low".

Measurements are only taken in schools in playgrounds and corridors, and never in classrooms, which are heavily irradiated due to all the wireless devices used.

Therefore, it is not possible to subscribe to what the FOEN says:

"The results indicate that population exposure to RNI is generally low and that health protection is assured."

Even though the FOEN itself says it clearly here : https://www.bafu.admin.ch/bafu/fr/home/themes/electrosmog/info-specialistes/mesures-contre-l-electrosmog/electrosmog--vue-d-ensemble-des-valeurs-limites.html

The installation limit values ​​are not based on medical or biological knowledge.

They were set based on technical, economic and operating criteria.

These are therefore not values ​​that guarantee safety.

Their respect does not exclude any harmful consequences for health.

So no, health protection cannot be ensured , because of what the FOEN says.
