Long-term effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. Assessment of the study of D. Adang

In 2008 a thesis from Belgium received quite some publicity, since it would show that long term exposure to radiation from GSM or radar would shorten the lifespan of rats. And of course it was speculated that this would also apply to humans. The House of Representatives even asked questions on this to the minister of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment. The minister therefore asked the Health Council to report on the thesis. The Electromagnetic Fields Committee of the Council has performed a thourough study of the thesis and the scientific paper on this research that has been published in the meantime. It reports on this in the advisory report “Long-term effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields; assessment of the study of D Adang” that was published on June 9, 2010.
