Non-ionizing radiation, which is a subcategory of EMFs, is a prevalent part of our environment, influenced by modern technology and various sources such as power lines, mobile phones, and broadcasting systems. To demystify the effects of EMFs on health and provide comprehensive insights, we turn to authoritative reports from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Council of Europe, and the European Academy for Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM).

The WHO, recognizing the widespread concerns regarding EMF, initiated the International EMF Project in 1996. This project aims to assess potential health effects of EMF exposure ranging from 0 to 300 GHz and encourages research to fill knowledge gaps, develop international standards for EMF exposure, and provide advice on EMF exposure hazards and mitigation measures. The WHO's extensive review of scientific literature suggests that, to date, there is no conclusive evidence to link low-level EMF exposure to adverse health effects. However, they acknowledge the need for further research, especially concerning long-term exposure and its potential impact on health (source: WHO - Electromagnetic fields).

In Resolution 1815 of the Council of Europe, “The Assembly regrets that, despite calls for the respect of the precautionary principle and despite all the recommendations, declarations and a number of statutory and legislative advances, there is still a lack of reaction to known or emerging environmental and health risks and virtually systematic delays in adopting and implementing effective preventive measures. Waiting for high levels of scientific and clinical proof before taking action to prevent well-known risks can lead to very high health and economic costs, as was the case with asbestos, leaded petrol and tobacco.” [source]

EUROPAEM has also published guidelines, focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of EMF-related health problems. These guidelines are particularly significant for individuals with electromagnetic hypersensitivity, offering an in-depth look at the clinical approach to EMF exposure and its health implications.

Both organizations emphasize the importance of ongoing research and the development of protective measures to ensure public health safety in our increasingly EMF-rich environment.

We invite you to check out the 5G Appeal, in which 436 scientists and doctors called for a moratorium on the roll-out of 5G, as it would substantially increase exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields RF-EMF, that has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment.

Humans and animals are not the only species affected by the electrosmog, a recent study showed how plants react to man-made radiations. You can download it here.

We highly recommend exploring EMF Portal published by RWTH Aachen University – an invaluable resource that meticulously compiles and summarizes extensive scientific research data on the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF). Click here to go to EMF Portal.
