In doing so, it draws the public’s attention to the negative impact revealed by more than 50,000 studies (https://www.emf-portal.org/en). The undemocratic European advisory council (ICNIRP) appears, in many respects, to be a mouthpiece for the telecoms industry. (see EU Parliament, M Rivasi. https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/109055/pdf/#:~:text=ICNIRP%20has%20been%20critiqued%20in%20a%20recent,the%20composition%20of%20ICNIRP%20is%20very%20one%2Ds). The IARC, too, expressed its concerns about excessively high guidelines many years ago, as did numerous scientists in the 5G Appeal and the Bioinitiative. To date, no thorough independent risk assessment has taken place, whilst studies demonstrating adverse effects are piling up. The NPS considers a thorough review of the guidelines to be necessary – ceasing funding for the ICNIRP and sidelining this organisation in policy-making. Thirdly, the public must be informed that the use of devices that utilise transmitter radiation (smartphones, Wi-Fi, etc.) constitutes a high-risk technological application.\n\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0646","tags":["exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"61c8dd433febb57ac0e28fb7103b6bf1dd0f25eb780b186c38886c48b5938c6f","slug":"exposure-places-comment-0646","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0646","body_sha256":"05e2423086c0ebd0d1b678512208fdc73867117ff8787c73b0100ffb2abb6a90","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"standards","topics":[{"id":"standards","evidence":"review of the guidelines"},{"id":"research","evidence":"independent risk assessment"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"Wi-Fi"}],"summary":"A submission speaking for NPS criticizes ICNIRP independence and exposure guidelines, requests independent risk assessment and a policy review, and advocates public warnings about wireless devices.","reviewed_at":"2026-09-23T19:51:19Z","review_method":"AI read and summarized each complete new comment body; exact source passages support topic classifications.
