Committee on Radiation Protection

What if...

• there's a correlation between the exponential increase in the use of wireless technologies and the Danish records in cancer, chronic diseases and the sudden onset of mysterious symptoms?
• warnings of potential health hazards from international bodies such as WHO/IARCOn May 31, 2011 the World Health Organization classified all sources of radio frequency (wireless) radiation as class 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) along with DDT, gasoline and lead., The European Environmental Agency EEAThe European Environment Agency (EEA), has repeatedly stated that all conditions for the Precautionary Principle are met. In Denmark, the Precautionary Principle has been suspended in this area in relation to public health and the environment. Basically, the Precautionary Principle states that if there exist scientific indications of risk of serious or irreversible damage, actions must be taken against such potential polluters even in the face of scientific uncertainty. Since it has been sufficiently demonstrated in studies on humans and animals that biological effects occur at exposures far below official safety levels and since the majority of the population is exposed, the conditions for invoking the Precautionary Principle are fulfilled, as noted by the EEA. and the Council of EuropeIn May 2011 the Council of Europe adopted a broad-reaching resolution (1815) regarding electromagnetic radiation from wireless telecommunications technology. In the interest of public health, the 47 member states are encouraged, to the greatest extent possible, to reduce the radiation exposure of the population. This applies particularly to children and young people.
  It is recommended:
  • to raise awareness about the health risks of exposure to radiofrequency radiation.
  • that children's use of mobile phones in schools is regulated strictly.
  • that wireless network should not be installed in classrooms and schools.
  • that new and lower limits for exposure to radio frequency are set.
  • to encourage the development of wireless telecommunication technologies that are less harmful to health. turn out to be justified? Why do the Danish authorities, fail to inform the people and why are no precautionary measures implemented, like in other countries, as recommended by the above mentioned bodies?
• the exposure guidelines, set by ICNIRPThe current exposure limits in Denmark protect only against acute heating effects of radiation and do not account for a host of biological effects - for example: DNA damage and effects of fetal exposure – which have been demonstrated at far lower exposure levels. The current exposure limits are set by a private company in Bavaria (The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, ICNIRP) and implemented in Denmark without further national reservations. However, as pointed out by ICNIRP, those limit are set according to young healthy men - and that vulnerable individuals, like children, should be further protected., do not protect against biological damage?

the exposure to EMR is causing irreversible damage to current and future generations?

in 5-10 years time, we are forced to acknowledge that the existing research linking microwave exposure with increased cancer risk, heart problems etc, turned out to be correct?

the Danish Health and Medicines Authority (SST) base their opinion solely on the basis of industry-funded research and that it turns out that the SST's consultant on the matter is wrong, and therefore misleading the public?
