There are safety limits in place to protect our health
Fact
No safety limits are being used to protect against non-thermal effects in the UK and many other countries.
The ICNIRP Guidelines used in the UK do not protect against chronic (long term) effects, or the copiously documented non-thermal (below heating level), low intensity effects of non-ionising radiation which can occur several hundred thousand times below current ICNIRP guidelines9. Concerns regarding conflicts of interest within the group have been raised
