Prof. Meike Mevissen, who led a WHO-commissioned systematic review on RF and cancer in animals, alleges WHO officials tried to manipulate her research. Her review is the only one of 12 WHO systematic reviews on RF health effects to find clear evidence of harm.

"They tried to tell us how to do our work. Research is very political. We are constantly confronted with the attitude that there cannot be any health risks."

— Meike Mevissen, Professor, University of Bern

"The WHO's expert wanted to take over the meta-analysis of the studies. He wanted to select for us which studies were even eligible for evaluation. We constantly had to defend ourselves."

— Meike Mevissen, Professor, University of Bern

"The findings of this systematic review indicate that there is evidence that RF EMF exposure increases the incidence of cancer in experimental animals."

— Mevissen review conclusion, Environment International
