Abstract

Overview

This study focuses on the crucial aspect of the International Agency for Research on Cancer's (IARC) evaluations—the communication of its findings regarding the carcinogenicity of agents, specifically radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF).

Findings

The paper extensively reviews the experimental risk perception literature as it applies to IARC's RF-EMF evaluations. From this, the authors derive specific actionable recommendations aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of IARC's communication strategies concerning RF-EMF cancer risks.

Conclusion

Improving communication strategies based on solid experimental literature can aid in better public understanding and dissemination of information regarding the carcinogenic risks of RF-EMF as evaluated by IARC.
