Abstract

Overview

This study by Dr. James C. Lin critiques the World Health Organization's systematic reviews on the health impacts of radio frequency (RF) radiation. He emphasizes the encountered criticisms and calls for retraction, highlighting major concerns in the review processes.

Findings

• The WHO-EMF reviews predominantly conclude that RF radiation concerns are limited to thermal effects, dismissing evidence suggesting nonthermal biological impacts.
• Significant issues of conflicts of interest and a lack of diversity in viewpoints were found, with many ICNIRP commissioners being authors or lead authors in the systematic reviews.
• Excerpts from different systematic reviews reveal severe methodological flaws, skewing conclusions to indicate no significant non-thermal effects though opposite evidence exists.

Conclusion

Dr. Lin calls into question the integrity and independence of WHO-EMF systematic reviews, suggesting a deeply flawed process influenced by conflicts of interest and a narrow scope of considered effects.
