Article: Current mobile phone radiation limits are inadequate to protect the population
Peter Hensinger and Matthias von Herrmann have written an article for the journal umwelt-medizin-gesellschaft (environment-medicine-society) on the limits that justify the expansion of mobile communications technology. The reason: an article by the well-known expert Prof. James C. Lin appeared in IEEE Magazine in which he proves that the limits are unscientific and have no protective effect.
The German Federal Office for Radiation Protection continues to insist: ‘The limits protect us! Below the limits, there is no evidence of health risks.’ As a result, members of parliament do not want to talk about risks, courts see no reason to review lawsuits, journalists write articles giving the all-clear, and politicians hide behind this argument to justify their inaction. This argument means stagnation. A policy of minimising radiation is therefore not necessary. Smartphones and tablets can be used without hesitation, and the construction of mobile phone masts can be accepted.
However, the limit values only protect against thermal effects, not against non-thermal effects. Studies that prove these effects are excluded from the risk assessment of the ICNIRP International Commission on non-ionizing radiation protection) and the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection. The article by Peter Hensinger and Matthias von Herrmann summarises why this is the case and why it cannot be accepted.
