WHO Research on Cell Phone and Wireless Health Risks

The World Health Organization Funded Systematic Reviews on Wireless Risk ICBE-EMFs Review Finds Serious Scientific Flaws The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF)  is closely monitoring, thoroughly reviewing and publishing expert critiques on a series of World Health Organization (WHO) funded research reviews on the health risks of wireless radio frequency (RF) radiation. RF is a… 

Timeline: WHO Initiatives on Wireless Radio Frequency Non-ionizing Electromagnetic Field Health Effects

Timeline WHO Initiatives on Wireless Health Effects  Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) EMF Project’s last completed research review on wireless radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field (EMF) is dated 1993. The Project has sought to revise the monograph for over a decade. Its first attempt in 2013 was abandoned over transparency issues. In 2019, the WHO EMF Project relaunched the effort and… 

New Publication: Scientists Find WHO Cell Phone Radiation Cancer Study “Scientifically Flawed”

New Publication: WHO Cell Phone Radiation Cancer Study is “Seriously Flawed” Scientists conclude the review does not assure wireless safety, and should not be used to set public health policy    Media Contact:Joel Moskowitz PhDEmail: jmm@berkeley.edu A Letter to the Editor published in the journal Environment International by the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) concludes… 

Scientific Response to the Rebuttal of Karipidis et al. to the ICBE-EMF’s Criticisms of the WHO Cell Phone Radiation Cancer Review

Scientific rebuttal to the misleading responses from Karipidis et al. on the ICBE-EMF critique of their systematic review on exposure to RF-EMF and human cancer January 15, 2025 On December 30, 2024, the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) published a critique (Frank et al., 2024a) of the systematic review (SR) on wireless radio frequency electromagnetic… 

FCC and ICNIRP Limits

FCC and ICNIRP Human Exposure Limits   Inadequate to Protect Health or Environment The wireless radiation exposure limits of the U.S.  Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) are inadequate to protect health. They ignore hundreds of scientific studies documenting adverse health effects at wireless exposures below the threshold dose claimed by these agencies,…
