A group of 250 experts have signed a petition to the United Nations and World Health Organisation (WHO) expressing â??serious concernâ?? about the risks of Airpods and other similarآ* wireless devices.
The scientists, in the petition, demanded that existing guidelines be strengthened and the public be better informed of the risks of radio waves which include “increased cancer risk,آ* neurological disorders, learning and memory deficits, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system and negative impacts on general well-being in humans.”
Devices such as Airpods comply with legal limits for electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radio waves â?? but theآ* groupآ* experts worry that the guidelines are too lax.
A professor of biochemistry at the University of Colorado was reported to have said that wireless headphones pose a particular concern due to the fact theyâ??re worn in the ear canal as itآ* exposes tissues in the head to relatively high levels of radio-frequency radiation.
The subject has been highly controversial since the technology attracted millions of people worldwide, and previous studies proving a â??linkâ?? between devices such as mobile phones and cancer have been dismissed.آ*
