Demand the WHO End Bias in Wireless Radiation Research

Despite decades of documented evidence on the adverse neurological and cognitive effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure from cell phones and other wireless technologies, a new literature review – funded by the World Health Organization (WHO) – concludes that there is little to no association between RF radiation exposure and cognitive functions such as learning, memory and attention.

The review has clear flaws – its authors have financial ties to telecommunications companies, it relies on cherry-picked studies and it dishonestly portrays the harms to human health. We must urge the WHO to end this bias in wireless radiation research and demand that they conduct an unbiased, independent literature review on the human health effects of RF radiation exposure.

Major Flaws of the WHO-Funded Review

● Only five of 3,945 studies were used in the review– over 99% of studies were ignored.
● Multiple authors of the review have financial ties to telecommunications companies.
● None of the five selected studies consider the effects of cumulative exposure from multiple RF radiation sources.
● None of the five selected studies consider the effects of Fifth Generation Wireless Networks (5G), which has substantially increased environmental RF radiation exposure.
● None of the five selected studies consider the long-term effects of RF radiation exposure.
