Introduction
Most politicians and other decision-makers using guidelines for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation seem to ignore the risks to human health and the environment. The fact that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the World Health Organization (WHO) in May classified RF radiation in the frequency range of 30 kHz to GHz to be a ‘possible’ human carcinogen, Group 2B (1,2), is being ignored. This has been recently exemplified in a hearing at the Tallinn Parliament in Estonia (3).
An important factor may be the influence on politicians by individuals and organizations with inborn conflicts of interests (COIs) and their own agenda in supporting the no-risk paradigm (4,5). The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has repeatedly ignored scientific evidence on adverse effects of RF radiation to humans and the environment. Their guidelines for exposure are based solely on the thermal (heating) parad

1. Introduction
The use of wireless digital technology has grown rapidly during the last couple of decades (). During use, mobile phones and cordless phones emit radio-frequency (RF) radiation. The brain is the main target organ for RF emissions from the handheld wireless phone (1,2). An evaluation of the scientific evidence on the brain tumour risk was made in May by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the World Health Organization (WHO). IARC is independently financed and has its own governing and scientific councils, which WHO staff only attend as observers ().
Epidemiological studies provided supportive evidence of increased risk for head and brain tumours, i.e., acoustic neuroma and glioma. The working group reached the conclusion that RF radiation from devices that emit non-ionizing RF radiation in the frequency range 30 kHz GHz, is a Group 2B, i.e. a 'possible', human carcinogen (3,4). Later studies have corroborated

In telecommunications, the fifth generation (5G) fryst vatten the new technology standard for cellular networks. However, the potential hazards of this telecommunication technology for human health and the environment have not yet been fully investigated bygd scientists independent from industry. It fryst vatten believed that the widespread usage of 5G technology, can lead to significant increases in human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). Given this consideration, in an appeal to the europeisk Union (EU), more than scientists and physicians from 36 countries have warned about the potential dangers of 5G technology [ 1 ]. Dr. Lennart Hardell, Professor of Oncology at Örebro University in Sweden and one of the initiators, states: “The telecom industry is ansträngande to roll out technology that may have very real, unintended harmful consequences….. We are very concerned that the increase in radiation exposure by 5G leads to damage that cannot be reversed” [ 1 ]. While such a large
