... By 1960, all three branches of the US military had concluded, on the basis of one man's calculations and some minimal experimentation (involving disruption of food-motivated behavior in irradiated laboratory animals) that 10 mW/cm 2 was a safe power density limit to prevent excessive tissue heating, and after some debate, this figure duly became the basis of the first IEEE/ANSI C95.1 microwave standard in 1966. Thereafter, the DOD treated all reports of biological effects of RF power densities less than 10 mW/cm 2 as a threat to national security and shut down any lab that produced them [4][5][6]. ...
... Basically, whenever a piece of science inimical to industry or Air Force interests appeared, contractors were hired to discredit it by apparently repeating the experiments, but actually changing critical factors to produce more funder-friendly results. Frey [6] describes one such attempt as follows: ...
... Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB): Double-blind studies done as long ago as 1975 showed that RF causes abnormal leakage of fluorescein dye from the blood of rats into their brain tissue [8], and disingenuous attempts to discredit that finding constituted the first documented dirty tricks campaign in the area [6]. Honest attempts to replicate the 1975 experiments proved hard to interpret, until it was realized that a counterintuitive, inverted-U-shaped dose-response curve held-at which point it became clear that the parameters involved in mobile phone use are particularly effective in disrupting the BBB [25]. ...

Official reports to governments throughout the Western world attempt to allay public concern about the increasing inescapability of the microwaves (also known as radiofrequency radiation or RF) emitted by “smart” technologies, by repeating the dogma that the only proven biological effect of RF is acute tissue heating, and assuring us that the levels of radiation to which the public are exposed are significantly less than those needed to cause acute tissue heating. The present paper first shows the origin of this “thermal-only” dogma in the military paranoia of the 1950s. It then reveals how financial conflict of interest and intentionally misleading statements have been powerful factors in preserving that dogma in the face of now overwhelming evidence that it is false, using one 2018 report to ministers of the New Zealand government as an example. Lastly, some new pilot measurements of ambient RF power densities in Auckland city are reported and compared with levels reported in other cities, various international exposure limits, and levels shown scientifically to cause biological harm. It is concluded that politicians in the Western world should stop accepting soothing reports from individuals with blatant conflicts of interest and start taking the health and safety of their communities seriously.
