PRESS RLEASE - MAY 31, 2011
- Lyon, France, May 31, 2011 ‐‐ The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer1, associated with wireless phone use.
Of note in this article, it's not just cell phones that are an issue, but also DECT-type wireless telephones, baby monitors and other domestic appliances which emit continuous pulse waves, and all electrical equipment that is left permanently on standby.
Who is the World Health Organization, WHO/ IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) and why is what they say important?

The world’s health communities look to WHO for guidance. When WHO comes out with an acknowledgement of an issue it gives a lot of credibility to it. Until now WHO hasn’t been willing to state that there are any negative effects from Cell phones or EMF, they Had been saying that there just wasn’t enough evidence. They have now reversed that and said there is a preponderance of evidence that cell phones are very possibly cancerous and we should take precautions. They have further gone on to state
“Between 3 and 6% of the world's population is ill from electromagnetic sensitivity, but these numbers are growing continuously and upwards of 30% are affected and don't even know it.”
