Radiofrequency DNA Damage Literature Review Presentation

April 3, 2022

Steven Weller (PhD Candidate, BSc. MORSAA, MARPS). Australian Radiation Protection Society (ARPS) Conference
Canberra – March 2022

Controversial findings and issues
• Results demonstrate a real risk for genotoxicity, particularly chronic long term exposures
• Because we are blanketing the earth with RF, all species are at risk
• Balance of probability also supports a case for carcinogenicity
• ARPANSA and ICNIRP do not consider these risks, they look for confirmed evidence of harm
• New wireless technology is being rolled out without pre-market health testing
• Safety is assumed if operating within public limits
• Precaution is absent, with ARPANSA explicitly removing precautionary principle that was present in RPS 3 from the latest RF Standard (RPS S-1)

Future Research Recommendations
• Experiments should be conducted that approximate typical real life exposures
• Use exposure regimes > 48 hours in accumulated duration
• Real wireless devices should be used
• Include assays for both DNA damage and free radical production
• Assays should be taken at different intervals to measure changes over time
• PCR tests to verify gene expression changes (DNA repair genes, OS genes)
• Multiple exposures rather than a single continuous exposure
• Controlled experiments should contrast constant exposure intensity with variable intensities over the same time period

APPLE IPHONE 12 RADIATION STATEMENT ON HEALTH AND SAFETY BY DEVRA DAVIS PHD, MPH

The French Government has halted sales of the Apple iPhone 12 due to excessive radiation levels when the phones were tested in positions mimicking the phone in the pocket.  Environmental Health Trust has long warned of safety issues related to using a charging cell phone as well as the excessive radiation levels to people when the phone is used near the body.
