The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) has published a scathing assessment of Ken Karipidis’s WHO systematic review on RF radiation and cancer. ICBE-EMF, which was formed a few years ago as a counter to ICNIRP, spells out five key flaws in a letter published in Environment International.
The stated flaws are:
1. The conclusions are based on studies with flawed designs;
2. An overreliance on RF exposure categories that don’t reflect actual exposures;
3. Distorted evidence on brain cancer time-trends;
4. Understated uncertainty about cancer risk after long latency periods;
5. A failure to follow scientific guidance for systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Overall, ICBE-EMF concludes: “There is no scientific justification for concluding there is any certainty that RF exposures do not cause cancer.”
he journal has also posted a reply by Karipidis’s team.
And ICBE-EMF, in turn, has answered that response. It appears on the ICBE-EMF website.
