1 EMF-NET Coordination Action L INTERPETAZIONE DEI DATI SCIENTIFICI: L AZIONE EMF-NET Paolo Ravazzani Istituto di Ingegneria Biomedica Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
2 Aims To provide: A framework for the co-ordination of the results of the ongoing research activities on EMF and health (EC projects and other national and international actions) Policy relevant interpretation/advice for the facilitation of policy development options by the EU (and other bodies).
3 Participants About 53 (Contractors and Associated Participants) Scientific community EC Projects Coordinators Representatives of EU research at National level Representatives of other research activities Industry associations Trade Union associations Regulatory bodies (providing advice) Experts Consumer associations (in contact with)
4 Participants Start Date: MAR 01, 2004 End Date: FEB 29, 2008 Duration: 48 months
5 Project Management
6 Workplan MT1: Scientific evaluation of the results of the studies on EMF health effects Main Task Main Task Coordinators Laboratory studies (ELF, RF, IF, THz, IM, medical applications) Epidemiological studies (ELF, RF, OF) Jukka Juutilainen Jochen Buschmann MT2: EMF exposure related risk in MT1 the working environment MT3: Improvement of specific common aspects Elisabeth of the Cardis research on EMF and health MT4: Risk perception and communication MT2 Maria Feychting Jolanta Karpowicz MT5: Observatory functions MT3 Theo Samaras Monitoring emerging technologies Demosthenes Papamelethiou Monitoring EMF research plans in MT4 EU, in Europe and outside Europe Carlos del Pozo Norbert Leitgeb MT5 Bernard Veyret Gyorgy Thuroczy
7 Approach Technical Working Groups of experts Involving more than 80 European and international experts Main Tasks: Analysis of existing reports and activities Identification and definition of Scientific Key Issues and Interpretation Key Issues Preparation of the Interpretation Reports Advisory Board Consultation Process Steering Committee Validation Process Delivery to EC Services and publication
8 Techinical Working Group Activities Baseline TWG members are appointed by the Main Task and WP What are the main Key Issues? Where are we now? What about existing documents? What is missing? Synergies? Duplication risk? How to interpret the research results? managers (after approval by the SC) Action TWG activities are mainly based on the definition of the Options for actions, interpretation and recommendations baseline, Milestones followed for a by European the appropriate consensus actions Next goals and expected achievements Where are we going? Interpretation Reports
9 Scientific evidence? sufficient evidence limited evidence inadequate evidence evidence suggesting lack of effects
10 Sufficient evidence -when a positive relationship is observed between the exposure and the effect investigated. -when the effect is replicated in several studies by independent investigators or under different protocols, and when there is a consistent exposureresponse relationship. -when confounding factors could be ruled outwith reasonable confidence.
11 Limited evidence -when the evidence of the effect is restricted to a few studies, or when there are unsolved questions regarding the adequacyof the design, conduct or interpretation of the study -when in the studies confounding factors could not be ruled outwith reasonable confidence
12 Inadequate evidence -when the studies are of insufficient quality, consistency or statistical power to permit a conclusion
13 Evidence suggesting lack of effects - when no effects are reported in several studiesby independent investigators under different protocols involving at least two species or two cell types and a sufficient range of field intensities
14 Strength of evidence for selected biological effects from exposure to RF fields (EMF-NET Report on RF Cancer, Marino et al., Jan 2006) Type of biological effect and/or potentially affected biological system Evidence for effects (Classification based on studies published by the year 2000) CARCINOGENICITY STUDIES Exposure to RF fields alone Combined exposure to RF fields with a known genotoxic agents Studies exposing genetically especially tumour-prone animals to RF fields Development of transplanted tumours Mortality Evidence suggesting lack of effect: Later studies further strengthens the previous conclusion Inadequate evidence: Later studies do not give support to the suggested association Inadequate evidence: Later studies do not give support to the suggested association Evidence suggesting lack of effect: No relevant recent studies Evidence suggesting lack of effect: Later studies further strengthens the previous conclusion IN VIVO STUDIES ON GENOTOXIC EFFECTS Gene mutations Structural changes at the level of chromosomes:micronucleus DNA Damage/effect assessment Evidence suggesting lack of effect: Later studies further strengthens the previous conclusion Limited evidence: The later studies do not give further support to the suggested association Inadequate/Limited evidence: The later studies do not give further support to the suggested association SOME OTHER POSSIBLY CANCER-RELATED IN VIVO STUDIES Ornithine Decarboxylase (ODC) Gene expression (Heat Shock Proteins) Inadequate evidence: No relevant studies available Limited evidence: The later studies have given some support to the suggested association
15 Strength of evidence for selected biological effects ELF exposure (EMF-NET Report on ELF, Juutilainen et al., Jan 2006)
16 Report on Evaluation of Relevant Results from Projects on the Effects of IF Exposure (EMF-NET Report, Leitgeb et al., Jan 2006) [ IF are frequencies in the range from 10kHz until 10MHz ] [ An alternative definition is to consider IF as the range betweenextremely low frequencies ( ELF; <300Hz) and RF. For example, WHO and ICNIRP have used the definition 300Hz to 10MHz (ICNIRP 1999; Litvak et. al 2002) ] [ Conclusions For the time being there are no or little research data available for well-founded health risk assessment of IF electromagnetic fields. While there is limited evidence for effects on reproduction and development, evidence is inadequate for other effects (such as carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, nervous system effects and general toxicity). This is in sharp contrast with the large body of data available on the effects ofrf and ELF fields. ]
