by ICBE-EMF – Sponsored Webinar Program – Workshop at the Royal Society of Medicine in London – Radiofrequency Radiation from Wireless Communications Sources – Are Safety Limits Valid ?
About this event
ICBE-EMFs primary objective is to make recommendations to ensure protection of humans and other species from harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation (NIR).
The International Commission on the Biological effects of Electromagnetic Fields contributes to the scientific literature on biological effects and health risks from exposures to RF-EMF included several recommendations for reducing exposures by agencies that set exposure limits to RF-EMF, by manufacturers of wireless devices, and by users of those devices. We are challenging the wireless industry to compete on safety to help insure greater protection against EMF hazards.
During the past year ICBE-EMF developed and published two papers in open-access, peer-reviewed journals that both address the inadequacy of current exposure limits to RF-EMF and provide recommendations for reducing human exposures:
- “Scientific evidence invalidates health assumptions underlying the FCC and ICNIRP exposure limit determinations for radiofrequency radiation; implications for 5G”, (2022) highlighted the fact that the current exposure limits to RFR established by ICNIRP and the FCC in the late 1990s and then reaffirmed in 2020 are deficient as they ignore important health effects data published over the past 25 years, as well as health risks to sensitive and susceptible subgroups, such as children, and to the environment.
- “Cell phone radiation exposure limits and engineering solutions”, (2023) built on the first paper by explaining how low intensity sub-thermal exposures to RFR-EMF can perturb biological systems and described several low-cost software and hardware modifications that can reduce human exposures to RFR emissions from mobile phones. These solutions block RFR emissions when the phone is in contact with the body, reduce the power absorbed by the body, and limit call durations of emissions without altering the quality of communications.
This webinar will give decision-makers, interested parties and the public the opportunity to hear from scientific and policy experts in the field of bio-electromagnetics. They will present and discuss these two papers and the scientific basis for their recommendations in light of widespread and increasing exposures of people and wildlife to RFR.
Participants will also learn about the 15 recommendations of the “Final Report of the Commission to Study the Environmental and Health Effects of Evolving 5G Technology” (2020), from the first U.S. State to comprehensively investigate 5G.
Recognizing there is a deepening crisis, especially for the most vulnerable, especially children and the immuno-compromised, the speakers will present public policy and technical solutions, aimed at raising awareness and taking action to ensure that exposures to wireless radiation is biologically safer.
The in-person event is by invitation only due to limited space availability. The public is invited to attend online. Video recordings and presentation slides (will be) are now available at ICBE-EMF Activities – Webinar 14 June 2023
ICBE-EMF’s webinars are offered at no charge.
Who Is ICBE-EMF?
We are a membership organization composed of independent scientists who have published peer-reviewed papers in professional journals on the biological and health effects of non-ionizing radiation. ICBE-EMF is a sponsored project of the Electromagnetic Safety Alliance, Inc. (ESA), a United States nonprofit corporation. The main office of ICBE-EMF and ESA is in Arizona and has representation in a European nation.
