The ICNIRP Guidelines
📌 2020 EM Radiation Research Trust (RRT) letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson calling on the UK Government to stop 5G. The RRT received support from Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Dafna Tachover of the Children’s Health Defense (CHD), a US-based non-profit that seeks to protect children from harmful environmental exposures. Statement received directly from CHD: “Robert F. Kennedy, Jr Chairman of CHD, and Dafna Tachover, Director of CHD’s 5G & Wireless Harms project support the UK EM Radiation Research Trust in their call on the UK Government to defend the rights and health of UK citizens and especially children from Big Telecom’s scheme to rollout 5G. The harms of radio-frequencies and microwave-based technologies have been proven scientifically and the harms are existing and widespread. We work daily with children who have been injured from this technology including from 5G small cell installations. The UK’s ICNIRP based guidelines, just like the US’s FCC, are decades obsolete and false. ICNIRP is an industry shell and its scientists are tainted as has been confirmed by Courts. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr calls on Prime Minister Boris Johnson and political leaders to protect those who have been harmed already by this radiation and prevent further harm. We must stop the uncontrolled proliferation of wireless technology and the on-going deployment of 5G, which will exponentially increase exposure to this harmful radiation and consequently, the sickness of children, adults and the ecosystem.” Download the letter here: https://www.radiationresearch.org/news/rfk-jr-joins-em-radiation-research-trust-in-calling-upon-uk-prime-minister-to-halt-5g-deployment-%e2%80%a2-childrens-health-defense/
📌 A former ICNIRP member advocates that wireless must get a more stringent cancer risk class. Lin was a member of ICNIRP from 2004 to 2016. In an article in IEEE Microwave Magazine he points out that the NTP study found clear evidence between mobile phone radiation and cancer.

📌 The advisory bodies such as Public Health England, ICNIRP and the now disbanded group AGNIR – Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (AGNIR) provide inaccurate misleading advice offering guidelines that are invalid. Please read the important published paper by neuroscientist Dr Sarah Starkey: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27902455

📌 Scientific evidence invalidates health assumptions underlying the FCC and ICNIRP exposure limit determinations for radiofrequency radiation implications for 5G https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-022-00900-9
📌 Louis Slesin, Editor of Microwave News, a respected authority on bio-effects of non ionizing radiation issued a recent report about ICNIRP saying: “The Lies must stop’. Microwave News also called for ICNIRP to be disbanded and said “it’s time to clean the House”. The Radiation Research Trust joins Louis Slesin and the many voices throughout the world to call TIME on ICNIRP and on the WHO EMF Project this cannot go on, we must appoint a truly independent team of knowledgeable doctors and scientists.

Avoiding problems for individuals with medical implants are beyond the scope of the guidelines
👉 Page 3 – ICNIRP 1998 guidelines: “Compliance with the present guidelines may not necessarily preclude interference with, or effects on, medical devices such as metallic prostheses, cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators, and cochlear implants. Interference with pacemakers may occur at levels below the recommended reference levels. Advice on avoiding these problems is beyond the scope of the present document but is available elsewhere (UNEP/WHO/IRPA 1993). These guidelines will be periodically revised and updated as advances are made in identifying the adverse health effects of time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields.
👉 Page 2 – 2020 ICNIRP guidelines “Radiofrequency EMFs may also interfere with electrical equipment more generally (i.e., not only implantable medical equipment), which can affect health indirectly by causing equipment to malfunction. This is referred to as electromagnetic compatibility, and is outside the scope of these guidelines (for further information, see IEC 2014).
An ICNIRP ‘certificate of safety’ does not provide any level of protection for industry or government
📌 ICNIRP Previous Chairman for ICNIRP Paolo Vecchia presented at the EM Radiation Research Trust conference in September 2008. In his presentation, he made it clear that: “the ICNIRP guidelines are neither mandatory prescriptions for safety, the “last word” on the issue nor are they defensive walls for Industry or others.” slide number (16) https://www.radiationresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/021145_vecchia.pdf

Legal information
📌 The UK ICNIRP guidelines along with the US guidelines are outdated and obsolete On Friday 13th August 2021 in the USA Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Children’s Health Defense and the Environmental Health Trust successfully sued the FCC in a historic lawsuit against the FCC for ignoring 11,000 pages of scientific and medical evidence showing biological effects, so we can no longer rely on industry assurances of safety. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/landmark-5g-case-against-fcc-hearing-set-jan-25/
📌 Queen’s Bench Division, High Court of Justice, London with campaigners successfully claiming against Brighton and Hove Council with Hutchison 3G as the interested party The Honourable Mr Justice Holgate overturned the local authority approval for the 5G mast to be sited close to a primary school. The ruling found that the Council “failed to address the health impacts” of the mast. The Council was ordered to pay the claimants costs to the agreed sum of £13,340. This finding has significant implications for all councils dealing with 5G applications, it means there is a legal responsibility to investigate effects on health. The ruling highlighted the fact that the council failed to address health impacts of the proposed mast and to obtain evidence of the assessment of the proximity to the school. Sitting and appearance, are also still a ‘material planning consideration’ under prior approval and must be given attention. https://rfinfo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Consent-Order-02.11.21.pdf
📌 A successful Italian court case confirmed mobile phone exposure caused a head tumour. The verdict highlights the fact that “ICNIRP is a private organisation whose guidelines on radio frequencies has great economic and strategic importance for the telecom industry, with several ICNIRP members having links through consultancy relationships and potential links with the industry and should therefore, refrain from assessing the health effects of radiofrequency levels. 5G is also mentioned, 5G is a slap on the face of democracy, of our data security, of our personal safety, with the risk of increase in exposure limits.” Download English Summary: here: https://www.radiationresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Turin-Verdict-ICNIRP_Judgment-SUMMARY-of-the-Turin-Court-of-Appeal-9042019_EN-min.pdf

📌 German court finds property owners can be liable for health impacts from base station antennas on their property
‘A German court has clarified in a lawsuit that property owners who rent space for base stations and mobile towers assume responsibility for health consequences of the activity. Although the radiation is lower than the relevant reference values from the authorities, this does not mean that the property owner is not responsible for negative health consequences. According to Björn Gillberg, the same responsibility principles also apply in Sweden.

Research and evidence
📌 In 2011 members of IARC classified the entire RF/EMF spectrum as 2B Possible Human Carcinogen The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is a sub-group of the World Health Organization with its role to monitor and identify global causes of cancer. In 2011 members of IARC classified the entire RF/EMF spectrum as ‘2B Possible Human Carcinogen’ IARC with collective judgment found scientific consensus in reaching decision. The vote was nearly unanimous: 29 to 1. https://www.iarc.who.int/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/pr208_E.pdf
Many doctors and scientists are now calling for an urgent upgrade the classification of RF – EMF from 2B to Group 1 (Known Carcinogen), the same category as tobacco. Dr Hardell stated unequivocally: “The agent is carcinogenic to humans.”

📌 Research that has shown significant adverse health effects including four-fold increases in cancer for people living near masts that emit radiofrequency radiation. Here is a link to a list of peer-reviewed scientific studies of human health around mobile phone masts as of the end of 2020. Out of 33 studies, 32 report health problems. https://www.radiationresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/scientific-studies-of-human-health-around-mobile-phone-base-stations.pdf
📌 Five recently published case studies in Sweden are now demonstrating 5G rapidly caused harmful health effects. https://www.radiationresearch.org/news/fifth-case-study-shows-5g-rapidly-caused-harmful-health-effects-published-18-november-2023-by-radiation-protection/? The key paragraph to note from the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation is:
“The ICNIRP limit protects only against immediate harmful effects due to heating. It does not protect against all adverse health effects that are not due to acute heating, i.e. when the radiation is so intense that it heats up the body within one hour. This means that the ICNIRP limit does not protect against the symptoms of microwave syndrome, such as headaches, difficulty sleeping, cardiac effects, abnormal fatigue, etc. It lacks protection against cancer, neurological diseases and other chronic diseases resulting from prolonged exposure at levels lower than those that do not cause immediate heating.”
📌 The BioInitiative Working Group • Bioeffects have clearly been established to occur with very low exposure (non-thermal levels) to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation according to many doctors and scientists. The BioInitiative Working Group reviewed thousands of peer reviewed scientific papers. This group of experts calls for the precautionary approach and urgent action due to chronic EMF-related diseases that are a potential risk for everyone. These diseases include adverse effects on the central nervous system, cancer, both initiating and promoting effects, impairments of certain brain functions, loss of memory and cognitive function, infertility, and immune dysfunction. • https://bioinitiative.org

📌 ICBE-EMF group called for a moratorium on 5G. • A peer-reviewed paper on October 18, 2022, presented a scientific case for revision of the ICNIRP limits. The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) challenged the safety of current wireless exposure limits to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and is calling for an independent evaluation. This new paper warns about the risks of exposure to radiation from 5G technology and claims that existing exposure limits for wireless radiation are inadequate, outdated, and harmful to human health and wildlife. The ICBE-EMF group reports that exposure limits for RF radiation set by ICNIRP and the FCC are based on invalid assumptions and outdated science. https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-022-00900-9
