    Introduction

    Most politicians and other decision-makers using guidelines for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation seem to ignore the risks to human health and the environment. The fact that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the World Health Organization (WHO) in May 2011 classified RF radiation in the frequency range of 30 kHz to 300 GHz to be a ‘possible’ human carcinogen, Group 2B (1,2), is being ignored. This has been recently exemplified in a hearing at the Tallinn Parliament in Estonia (3).

    An important factor may be the influence on politicians by individuals and organizations with inborn conflicts of interests (COIs) and their own agenda in supporting the no-risk paradigm (4,5). The International kommission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has repeatedly ignored scientific bevis on adverse effects of RF radiation to humans and the environment. Their guidelines for exposure are based solely on the thermal (heati

    Lennart Hardell

    Swedish oncologist

    Lennart Hardell (born 1944), is a Swedish oncologist and professor at Örebro University Hospital in Örebro, Sweden.[1] He is known for his research into what he says are environmental cancer-causing agents, such as Agent Orange,[2] and has said that cell phones increase the risk of brain tumors.[3]

    Mobile phone use and cancer

    [edit]

    Hardell's research on cell phones and cancer concluded that long-term mobile phone use is associated with an increased risk of acoustic neuroma and glioma.[4][5] He has said that children should be banned from using cell phones except in emergencies, as he feels the risk of cancer is greater in people who begin using mobile phones before the age of 20.[6] However, after decades of research, these findings have not been consistently replicated by other studies.

    His early research on wireless phones and cancer was criticized in a 2002 review for method
