The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has opened an official inquiry into the health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and wireless (RF) radiation.

In a public notice to be published in the Federal Register next Monday, September 21, HHS is asking for advice on the state of the science and the adequacy of current exposure standards and regulations. Public comments are due within 30 days.

“I encourage scientists, physicians, industry, public health experts, workers, parents, and citizens to bring us the best available evidence so we can identify the gaps and focus federal research where it is needed most,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a press release issued yesterday.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been trying to manipulate its long-running assessment of RF–cancer risks, according to a prominent Swiss toxicologist.

Meike Mevissen, who was commissioned by the WHO to lead a systematic review on RF and cancer in animals six years ago, is charging that her study team had to defend itself from interference.

“They tried to tell us how to do our work,” she said in an interview with Infosperber, a Swiss online news service, published in mid-January.

“Research is very political,” she told Pascal Sigg, a freelance reporter working with Infosperber. “We are constantly confronted with the attitude that there cannot be any health risks.”
