About the EM Radiation Research Trust (RRT)
The EM Radiation Research Trust (RRT) raises awareness of the health impacts of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and advocates for safer, responsible technology. We are funded entirely by public donations and have been a registered charity since 2003 (No. 1106304).
We proudly honour Saint Carlo Acutis and Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati as our patron saints. Carlo, the “patron of the Internet,” shows us how to balance technology with faith, community, and real life. Pier Giorgio, a young activist and defender of the vulnerable, inspires us to stand courageously for justice and protection of those at risk.
Guided by their witness, we champion responsible technology and safeguard children, who absorb far more radiation than adults.
♦ Step away from wireless.
♦ Reconnect with the earth.
♦ Ethernet for online.
♦ Real life for everything else.

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 to communicate complex, often-confused science in a way that is understandable and accessible to the public, media, and policymakers.
- Raise Public Awareness: We highlight thousands of studies showing 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 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: https://radiationresearch.org/2008-conference-presentations/
- Media Engagement: We work with both mainstream and alternative media to inform the public about 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 call 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 independent scientists, ask critical questions, and demand that public health and safety are the priority.
