Modern wireless exposure bears little resemblance to that of the 1990s.
A person might now spend almost the entire day within range of multiple radiofrequency sources: smartphones, neighbouring phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, wireless headphones, smart televisions, smart meters, mobile phone base stations and increasingly a range of connected domestic appliances.
A recently published peer-reviewed paper has reignited debate over whether current radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure limits are sufficiently protective. The authors argue that existing guidelines focus largely on preventing tissue heating while overlooking evidence relating to long-term biological effects, including cancer and male fertility.
In a world increasingly saturated with man-made electromagnetic fields (EMF) from devices and infrastructure, the need to protect human health and the environment has become a pressing concern. The International Guidelines on Non-Ionising Radiation (IGNIR) offers a science-based approach to tackling these challenges
