Consensus Statements and Recommendations on Cell Phones and Wireless  Radiation

It is a fact that not a single medical organization states that cell phone/wireless radiation is safe. There is no proof of safety. Thousands of medical doctors support reducing exposure to cell phone wireless radiation.

EMF Scientists

The EMF Scientists are over 236 reputable scientists from 41 countries who have peer-reviewed publications on electromagnetic fields who made a 2015 appeal to the United Nations and all member States in the world to encourage the World Health Organization “to exert strong leadership in fostering the development of more protective EMF guidelines, encouraging precautionary measures, and educating the public about health risks, particularly risk to children and fetal development.”

The 5G Appeal to European Union

Over 180 scientists and doctors from 35 countries sent a declaration to officials of the European Commission today demanding a moratorium on the increase of cell antennas for planned 5G expansion. “We the undersigned, scientists and doctors, recommend a moratorium on the roll-out of the fifth generation, 5G, for telecommunication until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry.  5G will substantially increase exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on top of the 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc. for telecommunications already in place. RF-EMF has been proven to be harmful to humans and the environment.”

Scientific Letter to Italian Government

The Italian government has halted a controversial proposal that would have weakened the country’s strict wireless radiation exposure limits. A  letter was sent to the officials by numerous expert scientists.

“Our studies, and more generally international research in the latest twenty years, have largely demonstrated that exposure to radiofrequency, even below the current ICNIRP/WHO safety standards, can cause damage to health and it can reduce the levels of well-being in the general population.”

California Department of Public Health

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Issued guidance on how to reduce exposure to radiofrequency energy from cell phones in December 2017.  “Children’s brains develop through the teenage years and may be more affected by cell phone use,” said Dr. Smith of the California Department of Public Health. “Parents should consider reducing the time their children use cell phones and encourage them to turn the devices off at night.” The CDPH guidance includes practical steps both adults and children could take to reduce exposure to radio frequency energy from cell phones. That includes:

  •       Keeping the phone away from the body
  •       Reducing cell phone use when the signal is weak
  •       Reducing the use of cell phones to stream audio or video, or to download or upload large files
  •       Keeping the phone away from the bed at night
  •       Removing headsets when not on a call
  •       Avoiding products that claim to block radio frequency energy. These products may actually increase your exposure.

American Academy of Pediatrics

American Academy of Pediatrics
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), is a non-profit professional organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists, and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety, and well-being of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Click here to download a PDF of the letters written by the AAP on cell phones and wireless radiation. 2016: American Academy of Pediatrics Website: Healthy Children.org Cell Phone Radiation & Children’s Health: What Parents Need to Know. In response to the National Toxicology Program Cell Phone Radiation Study results, the AAP issued the following cell phone safety tips specifically to reduce exposure to wireless radiation in 2016:
American Academy of Pediatrics Cell Phone Safety Tips For Families

  • Use text messaging when possible, and use cell phones in speaker mode or hands-free kits.
  • When talking on the cell phone, try holding it an inch or more away from your head.
  • Make only short or essential calls on cell phones.
  • Avoid carrying your phone against the body like in a pocket, sock, or bra. Cell phone manufacturers can’t guarantee that the amount of radiation you’re absorbing will be at a safe level.
  • Do not talk on the phone or text while driving. This increases the risk of automobile crashes.
  • Exercise caution when using a phone or texting while walking or performing other activities. “Distracted walking” injuries are also on the rise.
  • If you plan to watch a movie on your device, download it first, then switch to airplane mode while you watch in order to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure.
  • Keep an eye on your signal strength (i.e. how many bars you have). The weaker your cell signal, the harder your phone has to work and the more radiation it gives off. It’s better to wait until you have a stronger signal before using your device.
  • Avoid making calls in cars, elevators, trains, and buses. The cell phone works harder to get a signal through metal, so the power level increases.
  • Remember that cell phones are not toys or teething items.
American Academy of Pediatrics  May 27, 2016 Statement in Response to the NTP Study The AAP responds to a study showing a link between cell phone radiation, and tumors in rats “They’re not toys. They have radiation that is emitted from them and the more we can keep it off the body and use (the phone) in other ways, it will be safer,” said Jennifer A. Lowry, M.D., FAACT, FAAP, chair of the AAP Council on Environmental Health Executive Committee. American Academy of Pediatrics Webpage on Electromagnetic Fields 2015 AAP Healthy Child Web Page on Electromagnetic Fields: A Hazard to Your Health? This webpage states: “Cell Phones: In recent years, concern has increased about exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phones and phone station antennae. An Egyptian study confirmed concerns that living nearby mobile phone base stations increased the risk for developing: Headaches, Memory problems, Dizziness, Depression, and Sleep problems” American Academy of Pediatrics Letter to the Federal Communications Commission and to the Food and Drug Administration 2013 AAP Letter to FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn and FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg calling for a review of RF guidelines 8/29/2012

“The AAP urges the FCC to adopt radiation standards that: Protect children’s health and well-being. Children are not little adults and are disproportionately impacted by all environmental exposures, including cell phone radiation. Current FCC standards do not account for the unique vulnerability and use patterns specific to pregnant women and children. It is essential that any new standard for cell phones or other wireless devices be based on protecting the youngest and most vulnerable populations to ensure they are safeguarded throughout their lifetimes.”

Statements and Recommendations on Cell PhonesWireless
2016 Report “Radiofrequency Exposure and the Health of Children” recommends reducing exposures to young children and strengthening regulations to ensure “sufficiently large safety margins” to adequately protect the health of young children.

  • All wireless devices, including tablets, cordless phones, remote-controlled toys, wireless toys, baby monitors, and surveillance bracelets, should be subjected to the same regulatory obligations as cell phones.
  • Compliance with regulatory exposure limits should be insured for the ways that devices are customarily used, such as being positioned in contact with the body.
  • Exposure limits for radiofrequency electromagnetic fields should be tightened to ensure sufficiently large safety margins to protect the health and safety of the general population, particularly the health and safety of children.
  • Reliance on the specific absorption rate (SAR) to set human exposure limits should be re-evaluated and replaced through the development of an indicator to assess real exposures for mobile phone users that apply to various conditions: signal type,  good or bad reception, mode of use (call, data loading, etc.), location device is used on the body.
  • ANSES reiterated its recommendation, as previously stated, to reduce exposure to children: minimize the use and prefer a hands-free kit.

The American Cancer Society

2016 ACS Responds to New Study Linking Cell Phone Radiation to CancerStatements and Recommendations on Cell PhonesWireless “The NTP report linking radiofrequency radiation (RFR) to two types of cancer marks a paradigm shift in our understanding of radiation and cancer risk. The findings are unexpected; we wouldn’t reasonably expect non-ionizing radiation to cause these tumors.

This is a striking example of why serious study is so important in evaluating cancer risk. It’s interesting to note that early studies on the link between lung cancer and smoking had similar resistance since theoretical arguments at the time suggested that there could not be a link.” -Otis W. Brawley, M.D., The American Cancer Society Chief Medical Officer in ACS Responds to New Study Linking Cell Phone Radiation to Cancer posted on May 27, 2016, after the NTP results were released.

2009 Lecture at Cell Phones and Health Conference: In 2009 Michael Thun, Vice President of the American Cancer Society, lectured on cell phone radiation and cancer risk and detailed how it would take decades before definitive evidence is found in the general population due to the slow-growing nature of brain cancer but that early signs would be seen in increases in gliomas Watch the lecture by Dr. Thun here.

The American Cancer Society website: Microwaves, Radio Waves, and Other Types of Radiofrequency Radiation states: “A study by the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) exposed groups of lab rats to types of RF energy used in cell phones. The rats were exposed for about 9 hours a day, starting before birth and continuing for up to 2 years. Partial findings from this study showed increased (although still low) risks of brain and heart tumors in male rats exposed to RF radiation, although there was no increased risk among female rats. Some aspects of this study make it hard to know what these results might mean for people, but the results add evidence to the idea that RF radiation might potentially impact human health.” -The American Cancer Society website: Microwaves, Radio Waves, and Other Types of Radiofrequency Radiation

Consumers Protection Association of Romania on Cell Phones and Wireless

Consumer Protection in Romania
The Association for Consumer Protection in Romania Has 13 Recommendations to the Public on Cell Phones and Wireless Read The Details Here.

  1. Do not allow children younger than 12 years how to use a cell phone, except for emergencies. Developing bodies are more susceptible to negative influences from exposure to electromagnetic fields.
  2. Limit cell phone use calls the most important and limit the length of calls. The biological effects are directly related to the duration of exposure; research results have shown that only a two-minute conversation modifies the natural electrical activity of the brain for up to an hour after that call. Communicate via SMS rather than by telephone (it limits the duration of exposure and the proximity of the body).
  3. During the call, hold the phone away from the body, and hold the phone away from the head (amplitude field drops 4 times at a distance of 10 cm and 50 times at a 1 m distance).
  4. Do not hold the phone in your pocket close to any vital organ (eg heart) or trouser belt. The bottom body tissues exhibit good conductivity and absorb radiation more quickly than the brain absorbs. The results of some studies show that men who keep their phones close genitals are at risk of a decrease in sperm count by up to 30%.
  5. When you call, expect your listener to respond and then put the phone to your ear. The radiation intensity is highest when dialing, the phone and trying to contact the base station. This is a very important tip and too often neglected and can keep us from a significant amount of radiation that would otherwise have entered the body. Usually when you dial the number to call we immediately phone to your ear, and so we get exactly the most intense radiation that the phone emits to call set – and often happens even as the callee does not respond, and we take unnecessary radiation for half a minute phone to your ear when we could hold the phone in hand, looking at his screen when the callee answers, and then put the phone to your ear and speak. How simple!
  6. Do not make a call when the signal is weak, for example when driving fast, such as those by car or train, as radiation exposure increases accordingly, the phone needs more power to connect. The same is true for areas with lower coverage (such as subway stations, some rural areas, etc.).
  7. Avoid mobile phones in places where there are flammable products, such as gasoline, alcohol, ether, etc. (petrol stations, hospitals). In the presence of such substances, a cell phone can even cause a fire.
  8. Do not use mobile phones in enclosed walls that contain metal, such as cars and elevators. They work like a Faraday cage that traps the radiation and reflects it back to their occupants.
  9. Stay away at a distance of more than 1 m from a person speaking on the mobile phone and avoid using your cell phone in places like the subway, train, or bus, where they subdue those around you from passive exposure to radiation emitted by mobile phones.
  10. During the night, holding the cell phone closed (in which case it no longer emits electromagnetic radiation), or even two meters away from the body.
  11. Although some researchers recommend the use of a hands-free kit, others believe that a hands-free site, on the contrary, amplifies the radiation emitted by mobile phones, directing electromagnetic radiation more directly in the ear and heading towards (more than 300% over the If the phone is used without headphones).
  12. Use a protective device scientifically validated against electromagnetic radiation.
  13. Do not buy a mobile phone with a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) high. Many mobile phones contain their use manual indication SAR. This is a way to measure the amount of power RF (radio frequency) is absorbed into the body. Obviously, the SAR should be as small as possible. (Remember, however, that the studies were conducted using radiation located even hundreds of times below the current SAR proved that these biological effects, radiation present).

Guidelines of the Austrian Medical Association for the diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses (EMF syndrome):

The Austrian Medical Association, on March 3, 2012, released its guide for diagnosing and treating people with EMF-related health problems. “Wi-Fi environments will lead to high microwave exposure for students and teachers which might increase the burden of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress might slow down energy production, especially in brain cells, and may lead e.g. to concentration difficulties and memory problems in certain individuals.

The Austrian Medical Association recommends Wi-Fi-free school environments.” Dr. Gerd Oberfeld, MD, Public Health Department, Salzburg, Austria, on behalf of the Austrian Medical Association stated, “Schools should provide the best possible learning environments. In this context low noise levels, good air quality, and low radiofrequency / microwave radiation are crucial. Wi-Fi environments will lead to high microwave exposure for students and teachers which might increase the burden of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress might slow down energy production, especially in brain cells, and may lead e.g. to concentration difficulties and memory problems in certain individuals.

The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA)Statements and Recommendations on Cell PhonesWireless“In order to prove that the use of cell phones can cause cancer, many thousands of cell phone users would need to be studied over many years. Such studies are now in progress in many countries and it is expected that definitive results will be forthcoming in the near future. However, just because there is no definite evidence at this stage, does not mean that there is no potential danger.” Recommendations to reduce Exposure: CANSA  has issued a Fact Sheet and Position Statement on Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields “CANSA proposes that exposure to cell phone radiation be kept to a minimum by:   

Limiting the number and duration of calls

Texting rather than making calls

Switching the sides of the head when a call is long – one should, however, avoid long conversations

Making use of hands-free kits or speakerphone mode to keep the phone a distance from the head.

Instructing children and teenagers to limit calls to emergencies only as they are more vulnerable to electromagnetic radiation because of the thickness of their skulls and their brains are still developing

Not sleeping with one’s cell phone close to one’s bed or under one’s pillow  Women not to keep their cell phones in their brassiere  Men not to carry their cell phones in the pockets of their pants (close to their testicles).”

John Wargo, Ph.D., professor of Environmental Risk and Policy at Yale University and lead author of the report, said, “The scientific evidence is sufficiently robust showing that cellular devices pose significant health risks to children and pregnant women. The weight of the evidence supports stronger precautionary regulation by the federal government. The cellular industry should take immediate steps to reduce the emission of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from phones and avoid marketing their products to children.”

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS FROM MOBILE PHONES: HEALTH EFFECT ON CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS (2011) warns about electromagnetic radiation impacts on children and recommended WiFi not be used in schools.

  • Official Recommendations: Those under the age of 18 should not use a mobile phone at all, recommends low-emission phones; and requires the following: on-device labeling notifying users that it is a source of RF-EMF, user guide information advising that ‘‘it is a source of harmful RF-EMF exposure’’ and the inclusion of courses in schools regarding mobile phones use and RF-EMF exposure issues. “Thus, for the first time in human history, children using mobile telecommunications along with the adult population are included into the health risk group due to the RF-EMF exposure.”
  • “In children, the amount of so-called stem cells are larger than in adults and the stem cells were shown to be the most sensitive to RF EMF exposure.”
  • “It is reasonable to set limits on mobile telecommunications use by children and adolescents, including a ban on all types of advertisement of mobile telecommunications for children.”

  1. S. President’s Cancer Panel, 2009

The 2009 U.S. President’s Cancer Panel pointed to cell phones and other wireless technologies as potential causes of cancer. In its recommendations, the panel stated: “Several steps can be taken to reduce personal exposure to RF fields from cell phones. Landlines or text messaging should be used whenever possible. If a mobile phone must be used, a headset is preferable to holding the phone to the ear. Children should be prohibited from using mobile phones except in emergencies. Active phones should not be kept on belts or in pockets. Phones should not be kept in close proximity during sleep. Reduction of exposure to other sources of RF can be accomplished by keeping AM, FM, television, and mobile phone towers far from homes, schools, and businesses. Wireless networks should not be used in schools; wired connections should be used instead. There should be resistance to the general trend toward making everything wireless without consideration of negative consequences.”

The Seletun Scientific Statement

Norwegian flag mediumIn November 2009, a scientific panel met in Seletun, Norway, for three days of intensive discussion on existing scientific evidence and public health implications of the unprecedented global exposures to artificial electromagnetic fields (EMF). EMF exposures (static to 300 GHz) result from the use of electric power and from wireless telecommunications technologies for voice and data transmission, energy, security, military and radar use in weather and transportation. The Scientific Panel recognizes that the body of evidence on EMF requires a new approach to the protection of public health; the growth and development of the fetus, and of children; and argues for strong preventative actions. New, biologically-based public exposure standards are urgently needed to protect public health worldwide.

Consumer Reports

consumer reports
May 2016 Consumer Reports Recommendations in the article: Does Cell Phone Use Cause Brain Cancer? What the New Study Means For You: Groundbreaking study reveals the strongest link yet between cell phone radiation and cancer. Important advice for all consumers.

  • Try to keep the cell phone away from your head and body. Keeping it an arm’s distance away significantly reduces exposure to the low-level radiation it emits. This is particularly important when the cellular signal is weak—when your phone has only one bar, for example—because phones may increase their power then to compensate.
  • Text or video call when possible, because this allows you to hold the phone farther from your body.
  • When speaking, use the speakerphone on your device or a hands-free headset.
  • Don’t stow your phone in your pants or shirt pocket. Instead, carry it in a bag or use a belt clip.
May 2016 Consumer Reports Recommendations to Government and Industry “The substantial questions and concerns raised by this and previous research regarding cell phones and cancer requires swift and decisive action by the government and industry. Specifically, Consumer Reports believes that:

  • The National Institutes of Health should commission another animal study using current cell phone technology to determine if it poses the same risks as found in this new study.
  • The Federal Communications Commission should update its requirements for testing the effect of cell phone radiation on human heads. The agency’s current test is based on the devices’ possible effect on large adults, though research suggests that children’s thinner skulls mean they may absorb more radiation. The FCC should develop new tests that take into account the potentially increased vulnerability of children.
  • The Food and Drug Administration and the FCC should determine whether the maximum specific absorption rate of 1.6 W/kg over a gram of tissue is an adequate maximum limit of radiation from cell phones.
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should repost its advice on the potential hazard of cell phone radiation and cautionary advice that was taken down in August 2014.
  • Cell phone manufacturers should prominently display advice on steps that cell phone users can take to reduce exposure to cell phone radiation.”

September 2015 Consumer Reports Recommendations in the article Does Cell-Phone Radiation Cause Cancer?: As the debate over cell phone radiation heats up, consumers deserve answers to whether there’s a cancer connection “We feel that the research does raise enough questions that taking some common-sense precautions when using your cell phone can make sense.”

See the link at the Israeli Psoriasis Association. National Center for Health Research 2015: Children and cell phones: is phone radiation risky for kids? The article explains what we know, what we do not know, and what we can do. “By the time we find out, many people will have been harmed if cell phones are found to be dangerous. Here are some precautionary tips on how to protect your children from health issues that could be connected to cell phone radiation.9

  1. Turn airplane mode on when giving a child a technology device or when a cell phone is near a pregnant abdomen, to prevent exposure to radiation.
  2. Turn off wireless networks and devices to decrease your family’s radiation exposure whenever you aren’t actively using them. As an easy first step, turn your Wi-Fi router off at bedtime.
  3. Decrease use of phones or wifi where wireless coverage is difficult, in order to avoid an increase in radiation exposure.”

Letters to Montgomery County Public Schools Maryland, 2015

Q: Why do federal regulations allow cell phones to be sold to children if Doctors are so concerned? A: As history shows, federal protections are usually implemented decades after research shows an environmental exposure is harmful. In the United States, for example, the American Academy of Pediatricians recommends reducing exposure to cell phones and at the same time, the federal government’s FCC – led by a former Chief of the Wireless Industry- is rolling out more and more wireless infrastructure. Not a single US federal health agency has done a systematic research review on the issue and -as far as we know- there are currently no plans to do so. Therefore, it is important for people to be made aware of these issues and take precautions now- in their homes, work, school, and community.
