Table 2 Precautionary Measures Recommended by the International EMF Scientist Appeal

From: Scientific evidence invalidates health assumptions underlying the FCC and ICNIRP exposure limit determinations for radiofrequency radiation: implications for 5G

1) Priority should be given to protect children and pregnant women

2) Guidelines and regulatory standards should be strengthened

3) Manufacturers should be encouraged to develop safer technologies

4) The public should be fully informed about the potential health risks from electromagnetic energy and taught harm reduction strategies

5) Medical professionals need to be educated about the biological effects of electromagnetic energy and be provided training on treatment of patients with electromagnetic sensitivity

6) Governments need to fund training and research on electromagnetic fields and health that is independent of industry

7) The media should disclose experts’ financial relationships with industry when citing their opinions regarding health and safety aspects of EMF-emitting technologies

8) Radiation-free areas need to be established, especially for individuals with EHS
