In May 2011 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) evaluated cancer risks from radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Human epidemiological studies gave evidence of increased risk for glioma and acoustic neuroma. RF radiation was classified as Group 2B, a possible human carcinogen. Further epidemiological, animal and mechanistic studies have strengthened the association. In spite of this, in most countries little or nothing has been done to reduce exposure and educate people on health hazards from RF radiation. On the contrary ambient levels have increased. In 2014 the WHO launched a draft of a Monograph on RF fields and health for public comments. It turned out that five of the six members of the Core Group in charge of the draft are affiliated with International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an industry loyal NGO, and thus have a serious conflict of interest. Just as by ICNIRP, evaluation of non-thermal biological effects from RF radiation are dismissed as scientific evidence of adverse health effects in the Monograph. This has provoked many comments sent to the WHO. However, at a meeting on March 3, 2017 at the WHO Geneva office it was stated that the WHO has no intention to change the Core Group.
2011 年 5 月，国际癌症研究机构（IARC）评估了射频（RF）辐射的致癌风险。人类流行病学研究表明，胶质瘤和听神经瘤的风险增加。RF 辐射被归类为 2B 组，可能对人类致癌。进一步的流行病学、动物和机制研究加强了这种关联。尽管如此，在大多数国家，几乎没有采取任何措施来减少接触并教育人们了解 RF 辐射的健康危害。相反，环境水平却有所上升。2014 年，世界卫生组织（WHO）发布了一份关于射频场与健康的专论草案，供公众评论。事实证明，负责该草案的核心小组成员中有 6 人隶属于国际非电离辐射防护委员会（ICNIRP），这是一个行业忠诚的非政府组织，因此存在严重的利益冲突。正如 ICNIRP 所做的那样，该专论否定了射频辐射的非热生物效应评估是对健康不良影响的科学证据。这引发了许多向世卫组织提出的评论。然而，在 2017 年 3 月 3 日在世界卫生组织日内瓦办事处举行的一次会议上，世卫组织表示无意改变核心小组。
