Call on IARC to re-evaluate RF Radiation
Everyone - not just experts - can nominate an agent for IARC to examine, in order to decide whether it is carcinogenic to humans. Nominations must be received by 15th January 2019, and they will be considered at its meeting 'Recommend Priorities for the IARC Monographs during 2020–2024', which takes place on 25–27 March 2019. IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the World Health Organisation) is holding a meeting in March 2019 in order to decide which agents to study over the next few years. Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation from wireless technologies is an obvious candidate for their consideration. It is emitted by phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, mobile masts (cell towers), etc., it is just about everywhere, and it is currently classified as a Group 2B Possible Carcinogen. In 2011, IARC determined that there is limited evidence in humans of a link between RF Radiation and glioma and acoustic neuroma. Since then, the non-indus
