Origin
Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly
Year

Source reference
Council of Europe Resolution 1815 (2011)
What it found
It recommended ALARA-style exposure reduction, public information, and special attention to children and young people.
What it did not prove
A resolution is not a scientific proof document or binding global standard; it is a policy recommendation based on precaution.
What critics say
Critics say parliamentary resolutions can over-index on public concern and are not the same as health-agency causation reviews.
Why groups differ
Legislators may apply the precautionary principle earlier than scientific guideline committees because they manage public risk under uncertainty.
RADIHALT Takeaway
Why does practical shielding stay smart?
RADIHALT fits the ALARA concept without fear claims: use distance, time, measurement, and affordable shielding when exposure is avoidable.

- ALARA and precautionary principle
- Child-exposure discussion
- European policy context
Evidence checklist
- Do not treat one regulator, country, or study group as the final answer on EMF exposure.
- Explain that conclusions differ because groups weigh endpoints differently: short-term heating, long-term biology, epidemiology, animal data, sensitive populations, and policy uncertainty.
- Use mainstream agencies only as one evidence layer, never as RADIHALT's editorial conclusion or as proof that a shielding product is unnecessary.
- When health or safety interpretation is discussed, pair mainstream context with both stricter national or precautionary frameworks and independent or peer-reviewed research.
