A consortium of scientists (ICBE-EMF) has issued a report claiming the World Health Organization's (WHO) reviews on cellphone radiation safety are critically flawed and provide no credible assurance that the technology is safe.
The ICBE-EMF alleges the WHO reviews
used unreliable methods, primarily by inappropriately applying
meta-analyses to dissimilar studies, which can obscure evidence of harm.
They also raise concerns about potential industry bias and conflicts of
interest among the review authors.
Despite the flawed
methods, the ICBE-EMF notes that the WHO's own reviews found evidence
linking radiofrequency radiation to specific cancers in animals
(corroborated by human studies) and reduced male fertility, but these
findings are being downplayed.
The report argues this
downplaying stems from an outdated "thermal-only paradigm," which
incorrectly assumes radiation is harmless unless it heats tissue. Modern
science shows biological harm can occur at lower, non-thermal levels.
The
ICBE-EMF demands the WHO recommission its reviews with proper methods
and conflict-free authors. They urge a precautionary approach, shifting
the burden of proof to the industry to demonstrate safety, especially
for vulnerable populations....<<<Read More>>>...
