Epidemiological criteria for causation applied to human health harms from RF-EMF exposure: Bradford Hill revisited by John William Frank

“…As a result of these threats to their validity—particularly the facts that (1) exposure measurement is typically subject to substantial error, and (2) insufficient time has elapsed, since modern cell phone use began in earnest, to allow tumors of longer latency to develop—most primary studies to date, and therefore many published systematic reviews of them, probably underestimate the true potential for causation, if in fact this association is causal.Conclusion and recommendationsIn view of these findings, international experts representing professional and scientific organizations in this field should convene an independent Guidelines development process to inform future epidemiological studies of associations between RF-EMF exposures and human health outcomes. …”
