The HPA acknowledged the condition of hypersensitivity exists and that it affects some people in the population
You will be pleased to know that the record note of the March 2nd meeting is now posted on the HPA web site. The address is given below:
http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/understand/radiation_topics/emf/emfdg/index.htm
It was a positive start for the 1st meeting, the HPA acknowledged the condition of hypersensitivity exists and that it affects some people in the population. The numbers of people affected in the UK are, however, largely unknown but it was thought by some members to be more than a few per million and could be a few per hundred. Hypersensitivity is known to be a serious problem for some people and these need help. I believe the numbers are far greater than a few per 100 and have concerns for children who will absorb a larger amount of radiation.
RPD staff agreed that advice on exposure guidelines needed to reflect the current scientific evidence. Any guidelines recommended by ICNIRP or other bodies would continue to be challenged to ensure that this is the case. Read the minutes for further details, I’m sure you will find some useful information. The next meeting is due to be scheduled in October.
Best wishes
