Wireless Radiation Limits at Least 200 Times Too High to Protect Against Cancer Risks

Safety limits for radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by cellphones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers and other wireless devices are at least 200 times too high to protect people from cancer risk, according to scientists with the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF).

Current limits are also 8 to 24 times too high to protect against male reproductive harm, including decreased sperm count, sperm vitality and testosterone levels, the scientists concluded.

“Current FCC and ICNIRP public exposure limits need to be reduced by at least 200 times to maintain an acceptable environmental cancer risk of 1 in 100,000,” according to a press release citing the March 14 report in Environmental Health.

According to an article published in the Defender on Monday, current wireless radiation limits would need to be drastically altered to protect people, assuming people were exposed 8 hours a day to wireless radiation.

“The science is there; now we need the policy to catch up so we can protect public and occupational health,” Ronald Melnick, Ph.D., a retired toxicologist from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the study’s lead author said.

The study comes as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continues to defy a 2021 court order to provide a better explanation for how its current limits — which haven’t been updated since 1996 — adequately protect human health.

The court order directed the FCC to review 11,000 pages of evidence supporting claims that wireless radiation at levels currently allowed by the FCC harms people — especially kids — and the environment.

Meanwhile, the FCC has proposed a rule change that, if adopted, would allow for the uncontrolled proliferation of new cell towers. U.S. lawmakers are advancing a bill that would accomplish the same thing.

“The fact that the FCC has not only failed to comply with the court order, but is accelerating deployment of wireless infrastructure in the meantime, is outrageous,” said Miriam Eckenfels, director of CHD’s Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) & Wireless Program.

A 2025 review, also backed by the WHO, examined possible links between wireless radiation exposure and cancer. The review linked RF radiation to an increased risk of malignant gliomas in the brain and malignant schwannomas, or nerve tumours, in the heart in studies on animals. Both tumour types were previously found in human studies

JOIN US FOR A FREE LIVE DISCUSSION ON MARCH 31st WITH LEADING EMF EXPERTS Dr. MAGDA HAVAS & SHEENA SYMINGTON

If you would like to find out more about this, we are very pleased to announce that we will be having two leading world experts on the dangers of EMF and radio frequency (RF) radiation as our guests on our Canada Health Alliance National Assembly call on the evening of Tuesday, March 31st.

Our guests, Magda Havas and Sheena Symington, will be presenting on the latest research findings, and, more importantly, how we can protect ourselves from this excessive, yet unseen, health hazard that is all around us, and which is getting worse with every new cell tower put up. It is essential to pre-register for this very important and educational call that will be followed by an audience Q&A. To pre-register click: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/jqfG97N_T1yxagxUNgRQsw

Magda and Sheena will also be guest presenters at our upcoming 3-day SelfCare is Healthcare retreat conference that starts on April 24th.

YOU CAN ALSO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM EMF’S WITH GENUINE RUSSIAN SHUNGITE

Shungite is highly effective in protecting people from the negative impact of EMF’s, 5G, Wi-Fi and all other sources of dirty electricity. At Canada Health Alliance we have a trusted and verified supplier of genuine Russian shungite who imports it directly into Canada. As a paid CHA member you are entitled to a 10% discount on any shungite product you order through CHA. If you would like to find out more email alan.brough@canadahealthalliance.org with ‘Shungite’ in the subject line. You can also ask how you can test if your shungite is genuine and has the protective properties you paid for, and need.
