Abstract

Overview

This study critically evaluates a systematic review part of the WHO's initiative assessing the link between man-made RF-EMF radiation and health effects, specifically focusing on pregnancy and birth outcomes in non-human mammals. Despite the review presenting itself as thorough and relevant, significant flaws were identified.

Findings

  • The original review’s conclusion of 'no conclusive evidence' for nonthermal effects from RF-EMF is contradicted by the identified detrimental indications which were overlooked or misrepresented.
  • The analysis of the protocol and methodologies used reveals a biased approach leading to unwarranted conclusions.

Conclusion

The findings suggest the scrutiny employed in the systematic review was skewed, casting doubts on its scientific integrity and the validity of its conclusions. This casts a broad shadow over the trust in reviews conducted under this protocol and calls for a reevaluation of the associated risks and protective measures for human health from RF-EMF exposure.
