The EU Commission scientific advisory group, SCHEER, has released a draft opinion report1 on the possible risks from exposure to wireless technology like 5G, 4G, cellphones, Wi-Fi etc. The SCHEER Opinion published in August 2022 advises positively on the adoption of the ICNIRP 2020 limits, in stark contrast to the opinion of the majority of field experts, concluding that ICNIRP limits are far too high, allowing radiation exposures known to cause harmful effects.

As for the previous SCENIHR reports (2007, 2009 and 2015), with the appointed SCHEER advisory group, the European Commission has failed to include representatives from the vast majority of scientific experts, who agree that there is sufficient evidence of health risks well below the EU Commission endorsed ICNIRP exposure guidelines in order to adopt more protective limits.
