The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) are experts on the science, human health and environmental impacts of non-ionizing electromagnetic (EMF) radiation.
In these brief video presentations, ICBE-EMF experts describe their research activities and how the weight of scientific evidence justifies the call for meaningful policy changes to adress ever increasing EMF exposures.

Vimeo Link, PDF of powerpoint slides
Dr. Hardell has a long career as both a physician oncologist and as a cancer epidemiologist, now retired from the Department of Oncology, Örebro University hospital. He now leads the Environment and Cancer Research Foundation promoting scientific research on the association between the environment and cancer and other chronic diseases. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s he was the first to document an increased risk for cancer in persons exposed to phenoxy herbicides and contaminating dioxins and his group has also conducted studies on the cancer risk of persistent organic pollutants, such as PCB and the risk for malignant lymphoma. He has published more than 380 peer-reviewed scientific articles and his research has contributed to the cancer classification of different agents such as TCDD, PCB, the herbicide glyphosate, and radio-frequency fields. Dr. Hardell was an invited member of the scientific working groups of the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer evaluation of RF.
