It may also be significant that the Council of Europe disbanded the committee that produced that resolution. Post hoc is not necessarily propter hoc, but on the other hand, it often is.

It’s easy to raise questions regarding results derived from data without providing the technical detail and the arguments refuting the original results.  This technique needs to be rejected outright and only pay attention to substantive arguments backed by data; the complainer should start the argument with the folks who have published their data and work to change their mind; then we will accept the new limits announced by INCIRP.

The Wikipedia page repeats part of the Buss document, which cites no figures, not even any verifiable evidence. The resulting Council resolution, while recommending ALARA, is overall typically alarmist and even anti-science in its approach.  Let us all now don our tinfoil hats.

The probity of ICNIRP can be investigated at: https://www.icnirp.org/en/about-icnirp/funding-governance/index.html It should be noted that IEEE concluded that recommended limits higher than those of ICNIRP are acceptable.

    Despite or because of the wide use of ICNIRP guidance, it also encounters criticism. 
The Council of Europe says: "it is most curious, to say the least, that the 
applicable official threshold values for limiting the health impact of extremely low 
frequency electromagnetic fields and high frequency waves were drawn up and proposed to 
international political institutions (WHO, European Commission, governments) by the 
ICNIRP, an NGO whose origin and structure are none too clear and which is furthermore 
suspected of having rather close links with the industries whose expansion is shaped by 
recommendations for maximum threshold values for the different frequencies of 
electromagnetic fields".[3]

       As is usual with these things, about 20% of the words are justified, the 
rest are not, or vice versa.

       For example, in the first citation, the first 7 words are not justified 
by any peer-reviewed

       research reports, the rest are largely true. In the second citation, the 
first 14 words are

       asserted without proof. In the third citation, the words 'produced by 
EMF exposures'

       and 'of EMFs' are asserted without proof. The sentence without these 
words is claimed

       to be true. In the fourth statement, the words 'reduce the harmful 
effects of EMFs'

       are superfluous; everyone knows that the rest of the sentence is true, 
whether one is

       exposed to EMF or not.

       Alternatively, you can believe that the relevant IEEE and ICNIRP 
research reports are all falsehoods.

      Re: Exposure Limits

      Thought I would post this to the group as it has been the

      subject of debate for many years.  I found it Interesting as

      it gets into the mechanisms at work and symptoms while

      underscoring the importance of our work.

      THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS EXPLAINED

      
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/09/03/electromagnetic-fields-harmful-effects.aspx

      September 03, 2017 • 148,493 views

      Story at-a-glance

      - Exposure to microwave EMFs, like cellphones, causes massive 
mitochondrial dysfunction due to

      damage done by free radicals from peroxynitrite that also cause single 
and double stranded breaks in

      your DNA

      - Excessive free radicals triggered by low-frequency microwave exposure 
from cellphones and Wi-Fi

      networks have been linked to chronic diseases such as cardiac 
arrhythmias, anxiety, depression,

      autism, Alzheimer’s and infertility

      - Excessive calcium signaling produced by EMF exposures also has 
important roles in producing

      pathophysiological effects of EMFs including each of the effects listed 
above

      - Strategies that may help reduce the harmful effects of EMFs include 
optimizing your magnesium level,

      certain Nrf2-boosting foods, exercise, calorie restriction and strategies 
that boost nitric oxide signaling

      (which acts, in turn, by raising Nrf2)
