Scientific advisory board

Gerd Oberfeld has been with the Environmental Medicine Division of the Salzburg State Department of Public Health since 1992. For 20 years, he has been the instructor and director of the Environmental Medicine Diplom Course of the Austrian Medical Association. He was an expert of the WHO Charter Transport, Environment and Health and the WHO Project Road Traffic-Related Air Pollution. He was the organizer of the International Conference for Cell Tower Siting – Linking Science & Public Health, Salzburg. He was a scientific advisor to the State Government of South Tyrol for the implementation of the Environmental Medicine Course. He was a member of the EMF Stakeholders Dialogue Group of the European Commission, Directorate General of Health and Consumer Protection. He is the head of the EMF Working Group of the European Academy for Environmental Medicine with the publication of the EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016.

Lennart Hardell is a specialist oncologist and a cancer epidemiologist at Örebro University. Prof. Hardell has a long career as a clinical and medical research doctor. He has a focused interest in environmental risk factors for cancer that he has studied in epidemiological investigations. He was a research fellow at the School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, USA, in 1985. Over the years Prof. Hardell has been awarded several scientific prizes for his research. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he was the first to show an increased risk for cancer in persons exposed to phenoxy herbicides and contaminating dioxins. His research group has also conducted studies on the relationship between persistent organic pollutants and cancer risks, such as PCB and the risk for malignant lymphoma. In recent years, much of Prof. Hardell’s research has focused on the use of mobile phones and cordless phones and the risk of brain tumors. His research has contributed to the cancer classification of different agents such as TCDD, PCB, the herbicide glyphosate, and radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific articles.
