“˜Letter to Editor”™ of Bioelectromagnetics journal: A travesty of science
Bioelectromagnetics, a peer-review journal of the Bioelectromagnetics Society and the European Bioelectromagnetics Association has just published a “˜Letter to the Editor”˜:
Wiedemann PM, Boerner FU, Repacholi MH. Do people understand IARC”™s 2B categorization of RF fields from cell phones? Bioelectromagnetics. 2014 Apr 15. doi: 10.1002/bem.21851
This publication is the clear attempt to discredit the work of IARC”™s invited experts who, as members of the Working Group, classified in May 2011 cell phone radiation as a possible human carcinogen.
