Letter from Dr. Lennart Hardell on Conflicts of Interest, Misrepresentation of Science and Martin Röösli

January 7, 2020 Letter on the conflicts of interests and examples of misrepresentation of science by Martin Röösli on wireless radiation.

The letter is from Dr. Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD to the President of the Swiss Confederation and is endorsed by several international experts.  PDF of Letter

Dr. Hardell has published several papers on these conflicts of interest such as “World Health Organization, radiofrequency radiation and health – a hard nut to crack (Review)” published in the International Journal of Oncology and ” Secret ties to industry and conflicting interests in cancer research” published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine. 

“Dear Mrs. Sommaruga,

I am writing you as the key individual in charge and accountable over the following concerns: Expert evaluations on health risks from radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) and 5G need to be performed by experts with no conflicts of interests Regarding two important government expert groups in Switzerland, several Swiss citizens have brought it to our attention that Associate Professor Martin Röösli is the chair (Director) of BERENIS, and of the subgroup 3 evaluating RF-radiation health risks from 5G technology, despite conflicts of interest, and history of misrepresentation of science.”

Conclusions in the letter 

“Consider to exclude Martin Röösli from a position as an objective expert on health effects of RF-EMF.”

“Switzerland should declare a moratorium on 5G until independent research, performed by scientists without ties to industry, confirms the safety (www.5Gappeal.eu).”

“The excuse that 5G is currently deployed at 4G frequency and therefore is safe is not scientifically correct. 3G, 4G, and WiFi are also not safe.”

“We recommend an educational campaign by Swiss Department of Education (WBF/ EAER) to educate the public about health risks of RF-EMF exposure, and safe use of technology (e.g., deployment of wired internet in schools) as previously recommended by the European Council resolution 1815 in 2011 and The EMF Scientist Appeal (www.emfscientist.org)

“We recommend that the government takes steps to significantly reduce exposure of public to RF-EMF, be it 5G, 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, Smart-meters, etc.”

” It is imperative that the chair and other experts evaluating scientific evidence and assessing health risks from RF radiation do not have such clear conflicts of interests or bias as Martin Röösli has. Indeed, being a member of ICNIRP and being funded by industry directly or through an industry funded foundation, constitutes clear conflicts of interest. Furthermore, it is recommended that the interpretation of results from studies of health effects of radiofrequency radiation should take sponsorship from telecom industry into account.”
