To Whom It May Concern,
The Health Security Agency (UKHSA) advises the UK Government with respect to guidance for electromagnetic frequencies for the United Kingdom while relying on the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The UKHSA’s main advice on EMF’s is that they should comply with the exposure guidelines published by ICNIRP, in which case there should be no consequences for public health for the whole population, including children and susceptible groups of individuals’ and are applicable for electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS).
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 the EM Radiation Research Trust UK charity call for:
Any/all evidence to support the UKHSA’s main advice on EMFs regarding the claim that there should be no consequences for public health providing wireless exposures comply with the exposure guidelines published by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
Any/all evidence to support “safety” for those with metal or medical implants when exposed RF/EMF wireless radiation.
Any/all evidence to support “safety” assurances offered by HSA specifically for children.
Any/all evidence to show how ICNIRP arrived at their current standards and the science behind the origination of the standards to protect children, plants, animals, and the environment.
Any/all evidence to prove symptoms cannot be detected by those who consider themselves sensitive to RF EMFs below the ICNIRP guidelines for electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) sufferers.
Any/all evidence to prove safety for the unborn child during pregnancy.
Any/all evidence to support clams of safety for long term exposure.
Advice from independent expert doctors and scientists in the UK and at an International level have examined the accumulated body of research disagree with ICNIRP and are calling for lower levels of radiation to protect public health. (See references).
