‘A major review of animal studies has found reliable evidence that RF radiation increases the risk of cancer.

The new systematic review was commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) EMF office in Geneva as part of its ongoing assessment of RF health effects (more here).

It concludes: “[T]here is evidence that RF EMF exposure increases the incidence of cancer in experimental animals with the [certainty of evidence] being strongest for malignant heart schwannomas and gliomas” (brain tumors).

This finding runs counter to the stated views of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the WHO itself, as well those of most national health agencies.

The open access paper, which runs more than 75 manuscript pages in the journal Environment International, was published on April 25.

The new review will most likely reopen —yet again— the decades-long controversy over the cancer risk associated with cell phones and other RF and microwave devices that many thought had been put to rest.

The review team was led by Meike Mevissen of the University of Bern and Kurt Straif, the former head of the IARC Monographs section in Lyon who now has appointments at Boston College and at ISGlobal in Barcelona. Other members include James McNamee of Health Canada in Toronto and Andrew Wood of Australia’s Swinburne University of Technology.

The peer review process for the systematic review took a full 14 months. The protocol for the analysis was published in 2022.’
