Abstract

How to improve IARC's RF-EMF cancer hazard communication My note: This paper suffers from problems that undermine the authors' analysis. Wiedemann PM, Croft RJ. How to improve IARC's RF-EMF cancer hazard communication. Bioelectromagnetics. 2024 Feb 13. doi: 10.1002/bem.22499. Abstract A crucial aspect of IARC's evaluation of the relative carcinogenicity of agents is the communication of its conclusions. The present paper addressed the experimental risk perception literature pertaining to IARC's radiofrequency electromagnetic field evaluation communication, and derived specific recommendations for improving it.
