Last year the
World Health Organization predicted that high levels of
Electromagnetic Radiation
exposure (aka “Electrosmog”)
could lead to health issues in a significant percentage of the
population. The agency
issued warnings in 2011 about RF radiation from cell phones.
Earlier this year
the agency asked that exposure risks be re-evaluated. Doctors
and scientists worldwide are asking that the agency do more than
that.
From
Environmental Health Trust:
Transparency Needed: Unanswered Questions Asked of the World Health
Organization
Environmental Health Trust and numerous expert scientists have
written the WHO EMF Project D. Van Deventer to ask critical
questions related to the WHO EMF Project Factsheets and Research
Review. Questions were asked in 2019 and again in 2020 but EHT has
yet to receive any responses.
Remember, the WHO�EMF Project is a different entity than the WHO
International Agency for the Research on Cancer (IARC).
The IARC vets experts for conflicts of interest and industry
ties and has classified RF as a Class 2 B possible carcinogen,
whereas the EMF Project (also under the WHO umbrella) is criticized
for a lack of transparency and industry loyalty. See (Hardell
2017) published in the International Journal for Oncology with
details on the industry ties of the WHO EMF Project.
Letter sent on November 1, 2020 after numerous emails that went
unanswered.
Dear UN Secretary-General and Office of Ethics,
I am writing because I have repeatedly written to Dr. Van
Deventer and never received an answer to specific questions asked
by scientists.
Dear Dr. Van Deventer,
- Has the WHO ever investigated the effects of Radiofrequency to
trees, birds, insects and wildlife. If not, who is monitoring this
issue and ensuring protection for environmental impacts? - Are you aware of limits for radiofrequency radiation developed
to protect birds, bees, trees and wildlife ? - When will the findings of “clear evidence of cancer†and
DNA damage from the
National Toxicology Program Study on Cell Phone Radiation be
added to the WHO website ? - I have been informed by experts that although they are a
participating country in the WHO EMF Project, they did not
participate in the writing of the latest factsheet on 5G, nor on
any factsheets found on the WHO EMF Project website so please
clarify the process by which new factsheets are written and
published on the WHO website such as the
5G mobile networks and health sheet put online in 2020. - What staff is part of the WHO TEAM Radiation and health that
works on the issue of non ionizing electromagnetic radiation?
Please share names and positions. - According to the WHO webpage, the World Health Organization has
NOT done an evaluation of the current body of research on
radiofrequency radiation since 1993. This is stated on the
website “The World Health Organization is undertaking a
health risk assessment of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, to
be published as a monograph in the Environmental Health Criteria
Series. This publication will..update the monograph on
radiofrequency fields (1993).†Has there been any more recent
systematic evaluation of the science by the World Health
Organization in terms of health effects performed since 1993?
Questions by scientists regarding transparency of WHO
EMF Project
These questions were first sent on December 2019 and were never
answered. These questions are in regards to the “Call
for Expressions of Interest for Systematic Reviews
(2019).â€
Who specifically will select the teams?
What are the criteria of selection?
One issue often missed in CIO forms are financial
relationships between universities and companies. For example, New
York University Wireless is so heavily funded by telecommunications
companies funding that it was
stated that “the affiliates share in it like an R&D
arm.†Will industry funding of universities be stated on the COI
forms?The WHO EMF Project has several factsheets online.
Which scientists wrote these and what was the process for the
conclusions put forth in these factsheets?
Electromagnetic fields and public health: mobile phones Revised
October 2014
Exposure to extremely low frequency fields – Backgrounder (June
2007)
Base stations and wireless networks – Backgrounder (May
2006)
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity – Backgrounder December
2005
Static electric and magnetic fields – Backgrounder (March
2006)5. Will scientists who are also a part of ICNIRP be
identified in the COI process?Signed,
