About the EM Radiation Research Trust (RRT)

The EM Radiation Research Trust (RRT) is dedicated to investigating and raising awareness about the potential health impacts of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Granted charitable status in 2003 (Registered Charity No. 1106304), we are funded solely through public donations.

Our mission is to uncover and communicate the facts about EMR and its effects on human health and the environment. We are not opposed to technology or innovation. We support progress that is safe and evidence-based. What we oppose is the unchecked rollout of untested technologies.

What We Do

  • Advocate for Scientific Integrity: We believe the public has a right to access independent, peer-reviewed science especially studies that raise concerns about long-term exposure to EMR, including 5G and wireless technologies.
  • Act as a Messenger: With limited resources, our role is best described as a communicator making complex, often-confused science understandable and accessible to the public, media, and policymakers.
  • Raise Public Awareness: We help bring attention to thousands of studies that show potential health risks and environmental impacts from chronic EMR exposure, studies rarely mentioned by government, or industry.
  • Promote Policy and Legal Reform: We campaign for policy changes and legal safeguards to protect public health, particularly for children and individuals with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS).
  • Call for Independent Research: We urge the UK Government to prioritise and fund independent research into the health effects of mobile phone masts, WiFi, smart meters, and the growing Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure.

Our Activities

  • Research Funding & Events: We have funded independent research and organised or participated in key meetings, seminars, and conferences across the UK and EU, including engagements with the UK Health Protection Agency and the European Commission.
  • Royal Society Conference: In 2008, we hosted a landmark event at the Royal Society in London, bringing together leading scientists from both sides of the EMF debate. View presentations here
  • Media Engagement: We work with both mainstream and alternative media to inform the public on EMR risks.

Why We’re Concerned

Current exposure guidelines, such as those set by ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection), are based solely on short-term thermal effects. just 6 minutes for head, torso, and limbs, and 30 minutes for whole-body exposure. These guidelines do not reflect real-world, 24/7 lifetime exposure from cradle to grave.

Even ICNIRP’s own guidelines (1998 and 2020) acknowledge potential risks for people with metallic and medical implants and warn that radiofrequency EMFs may interfere with medical and electrical equipment. Yet, these considerations fall under “electromagnetic compatibility” and are excluded from their safety standards.

Our Position

We are calling for the creation of a truly independent standard-setting body to advise on EMR and RF emissions free from industry influence.

We urge the public, media, and policymakers to engage with the independent scientists, ask critical questions, and demand that public health and safety should be priority.
