An advisory panel to the Health Council of the Netherlands is recommending a \u201ccautious approach\u201d to 5G radiation exposures.<\/p>\n
The committee is also advising that the 26 GHz frequency band (millimeter waves) not be used \u201cfor as long as the potential health risks have not been investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new advisory report, 5G and Health,<\/em> was originally released in September with an executive summary<\/a> in English. Now a full 131-page translation<\/a> is available (it features 807 references). There is also a 33-page overview<\/a>. The nine-member panel, all from Holland, was chaired by Professor Hans Kromhout<\/a>, an epidemiologist at the University of Utrecht\u2019s Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences. One of the two scientific secretaries is the Health Council\u2019s Eric van Rongen<\/a>, the current vice chair of ICNIRP<\/a> and its chairman from 2016 until earlier this year.<\/p>\n While the committee endorses the recently revised ICNIRP guidelines<\/a>, it notes that, \u201c[I]t cannot be excluded that exposure under the latest ICNIRP standards also has the potential to affect health.\u201d<\/p>\n Here is the full text of the committee\u2019s four recommendations to the Dutch Parliament:\u2026SNIP<\/p>\n https:\/\/microwavenews.com\/short-takes-archive\/health-council-netherlands-5g<\/a><\/p>\n
