These Scientists state the risk has increased since 2011 when the radiation was classified as a class 2B carcinogen. They are World Health Organization/ International Agency for the Research on Cancer 2011 invited experts who participating in the 2011 EMF Working Group and Monograph preparations.
"The classification should be as a Group 1A Carcinogen."
The World Health Organization
The World Health Organization has classified the wireless radiation from wifi devices as a Class 2 B Possible Human Carcinogen.Read the International Agency for the Research Cancer Monograph on the Evaluation of Radio Frequency Radiation's Carcinogenic Risks to Humans here.
The WHO has a 38 page "Research Agenda" Read it here.
Q: Was the WHO referring to Cell phones only?
A: No. The carcinogenic classification applies to radio frequency radiation, from any device, including cell towers. Read the letter from Dr. Baan here.
Dr. Lennart Hardell
"Based on the Hill criteria, glioma and acoustic neuroma should be considered to be caused by RF-EMF emissions from wireless phones and regarded as carcinogenic to humans, classifying it as group 1 according to the IARC classification. Current guidelines for exposure need to be urgently revised."
Dr. Lennart Hardell is renowned cancer epidemiologist of the Department of Oncology, University Hospital Örebro Sweden. In addition to his significant research, Dr. Hardell co-authored a Chapter in the The European Environment Agency Report “Late Lessons from Early Warnings, Volume II” 2013 Report detailing the accumulating science on radio frequency radiation, the significant risks of waiting and critical need to take precautionary action to reduce exposures to avoid widespread harm.
Listen to Dr Hardell discuss this issue in a vimeo HERE.

Dr. Jonathan Samet
“The IARC 2B classification implies an assurance of safety that cannot be offered—a particular concern, given the prospect that most of the world’s population will have lifelong exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.”
- Dr. Jonathan Samet, physician and epidemiologist, Chair of the World Health Organization’s EMF Working Group 2011. This statement is from his 2014 Commentary calling for more research. Listen to Dr Samet discuss his findings in this vimeo.
Dr. Anthony Miller
“I am a strong advocate of the view that at this time the Precautionary Principle should be applied and that exposure to RFF should be reduced as far as possible, perhaps particularly with regard to exposure to children and in schools. The Royal Society panel has failed in it’s obligation to the public. It ignored recent evidence that wireless radiation is a probable carcinogen,”
- Dr. Anthony Miller, Professor Emeritus of the Dalla Lana School of Public Health in his review of the Canadian Royal Society’s 2014 Safety Code 6. In addition, Dr. Miller recently co-authored this peer reviewed paper. Swedish review strengthens grounds for concluding that radiation from cellular and cordless phones is a probable human carcinogen. Pathophysiology. 20(2), 123-9.
Dr. Dariusz Leszczynski
"The evidence demonstrates that the ICNIRP safety standards are insufficient for the protection of the adult user... Based on the IARC 2011 classification of cell phone radiation as a possible human carcinogen, the authorities should implement the Precautionary Principle. The Time to Act is Now."
-Dr. Dariusz Leszczynski, International Agency for the Research on Cancer Invited Expert to Working Group on Non-Ionizing Radiation (RF fields). Lyon, France, May 2011 . He also gave expert testimony at the US Senate hearing on “The Health Effects of Cell Phone Use”. Washington, DC, USA, September 14th, 2009. This quote is from his 2014 article Wireless Communication and Precautionary Principle.
Dr. Igor Belyaev
"There are many publications showing health effects of radiofrequency radiations. Approximately half of all published papers show such effects. This apparent discrepancy can be accounted for various conditions of exposure, because non-thermal RF effects are critically dependent on various parameters and also biological variables."
Dr. Igor Belyaev is the Head Research Scientist at the Cancer Research Institute at the Slovak Academy of Science in Bratislava, Slovakia. Dr. Belyaev was one of the thirty members of the IARC Working Group charged with classifying the carcinogenicity of cell phone radiation, which produced the 2013 IARC Monograph.
