5.0 CRITIQUES OF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES, AND CALLS TO ACCOUNT

5.01 Alarmingly, NO known telecoms industry studies or research have been conducted on the adverse effects of Radio Frequency – Electro Magnetic Fields (RF-EMF) from 5G technology.  Many military studies have been undertaken since 1950s however, see Navy Medical Research Institute Military Microwave Report

5.02 PHE (Public Health England), WHO (World Health Organisation), ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and other such bodies are all quoting outdated research and all have legal disclaimers relieving them of any liability for the information on their websites. PHE are a government body, and the government have a vested interest in 5G and its infrastructure. This constitutes a conflict of interest for PHE.

5.03 As recently as 13th January 2020 an Appeal Court in Turin refused to accept evidence from ICNIRP in a ruling on the cause of a brain tumour because of conflicts of interest (link). The Court did not consider ICNIRP to be a reliable witness. 

5.04 Other countries unilaterally set public exposure guidelines up to 100x lower than the ICNIRP ones.

ICNIRP’s opinion and guidelines are unscientific and protect industry, not public health

ICNIRP warning https://web.archive.org/web/20191114060540/https://www.icnirp.org/en/frequencies/high-frequency/    

“To avoid hazards to health and prevent adverse interaction with high frequency fields (i.e. to prevent whole-body heat stress and excessive localized heating), ICNIRP recommends limiting the exposure to HF so that the threshold at which these interactions become detrimental is never reached.
