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

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.
