Gerenommeerd wetenschapper bekritiseert de overzichtsstudies van de WHO

Een gerenommeerd wetenschapper geeft in een nieuwe paper aan dat de 'reviews' (overzichtsstudies) die de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie laat opstellen over de gezondheidseffecten van EM straling van slechte kwaliteit zijn en dat belangenconflicten een groot probleem vormen:

​"In a newly-published paper, one of the world's most renowned scientists who has studied the effects of radio frequency (RF) radiation, Dr. James C. Lin, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois, Chicago and a former ICNIRP Commissioner, attacks the World Health Organization's systematic reviews of the research on RF radiation that dismiss the substantial evidence for adverse biological and health effects.

Studie bevestigt dat gepulste RF straling de slaap verstoort

Nieuw wetenschappelijk onderzoek bevestigt dat gepulste radiofrequente straling de slaap verstoort en de slaapkwaliteit vermindert. Meer specifiek werd het effect onderzocht van DECT babyfoons, die zorgen voor hoge stralingsiveaus.

Hoe beïnvloedt de straling van draadloze babyfoons de slaap? Australische onderzoekers hebben het antwoord.

Pulsed high-power radio frequency energy can cause non-thermal harmful effects on the brain

"High-power microwave applications are growing for both military and civil purposes, yet they can induce brain-related risks and raise important public health concerns. High-power sub-millisecond radio frequency energy pulses have been demonstrated to be able to induce neurological and neuropathological changes in the brain while being compliant with current regulatory guidelines’ limits, highlighting the necessity of revising them."

Epidemiological exploration of the impact of bluetooth headset usage on thyroid nodules

"SHAP analysis revealed age and daily Bluetooth headset usage duration as the two most significant factors affecting thyroid nodule risk. Specifically, longer daily usage durations of Bluetooth headsets were strongly linked to an increased risk of developing thyroid nodules, as indicated by the SHAP analysis outcomes. Our study highlighted a significant impact relationship between prolonged Bluetooth headset use and increased thyroid nodule risk, emphasizing the importance of considering health impacts in the use of modern technology, especially for devices like Bluetooth headsets that are frequently used daily."

Summary of seven Swedish case reports on the microwave syndrome associated with 5G radiofrequency radiation

Abstract

The fifth generation, 5G, for wireless communication is currently deployed in Sweden since 2019/2020, as well as in many other countries. We have previously published seven case reports that include a total of 16 persons aged between 4 and 83 years that developed the microwave syndrome within short time after being exposed to 5G base stations close to their dwellings. In all cases high radiofrequency (RF) radiation from 4G/5G was measured with a broadband meter. RF radiation reached >2,500,000 to >3,180,000 μW/m2 in peak maximum value in three of the studies. In total 41 different health issues were assessed for each person graded 0 (no complaint) to 10 (worst symptoms). Most prevalent and severe were sleeping difficultly (insomnia, waking night time, early wake-up), headache, fatique, irritability, concentration problems, loss of immediate memory, emotional distress, depression tendency, anxiety/panic, dysesthesia (unusual touched based sensations), burning and lancinating skin, cardiovascular symptoms (transitory high or irregular pulse), dyspnea, and pain in muscles and joints. Balance disorder and tinnitus were less prevalent. All these symptoms are included in the microwave syndrome. In most cases the symptoms declined and disappeared within a short time period after the studied persons had moved to a place with no 5G. These case histories are classical examples of provocation studies. They reinforce the urgency to inhibit the deployment of 5G until more safety studies have been performed.

Follow-Up Research on NTP’s Clear Evidence on RF Causing Malignant Tumors in Rats [Health Matters]

Abstract:
The recent disclosure of the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) closing down its RF radiation research program on how RF radiation causes cancer was a surprise [1] , [2] , [3] . NTP is a part of the National Institutes of Health and reports to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NTP’s mandates are to provide the scientific basis for programs, activities, and policies that promote health or lead to the prevention of disease.

Letter to the Editor: 'COSMOS: A methodologically-flawed cohort study of the health effects from exposure to radiofrequency radiation from mobile phone use'

"To the Editors, Environment International

We write to point out serious methodological problems with the Cohort Study on Mobile Phones and Health (COSMOS) brain tumor risk paper (Feychting et al., 2024). Because of these flaws, the study does not provide reliable estimates of the risks of tumors associated with exposure to mobile phone radio frequency radiation (RFR). This paper which summarizes interim results from this 25-plus year cohort study (Schüz et al., 2011) demonstrates many of the overall study’s shortcomings."
