description: The WHO International Optical Radiation and EMF Project International Advisory Committee research team falls between the WHO teams for Environment, Climate Change and Health (ECCH) and Radiation and Health governed by the WHO Collaborative Effort Manifesto. EMF of a very broad range of frequencies represents one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences. EMF has notably positive or negative effects, depending on the context it is employed in. EMF has been around since the birth of the universe, with LIGHT being its most familiar and significant form. Electric and magnetic fields are part of the spectrum of EM radiation, which extends from static electric and magnetic fields, through RF, UV, and infrared radiation (IR), to X-rays. Since 2017 there has been a growing consensus that Light EM has the most predominant effect on biochemistry both positive and negative. <br> Based on engaged experience and the recommendations of ICNIRP and the Netherlands (NL) ministry of Health, the growth and evolution to public and scientific resolutions in the domain of native and non-native electromagnetic fields (nnEMF) is easiest and most efficient when persons (schools, citizens, academics, governments) understand electromagnetic (EM) radiation (and specifically LIGHT, which is the visible part of the EM spectrum) first, and secondly, EMF. The next steps would be to focus on bioadaptive solutions instead of complaints, negatives and fear mongering. <br> The number of LIGHT, EMF and Climate Change related complaints received by various government departments has been increasing over time. In the past, these have not been handled optimally, but there is now a general consensus to strive toward cooperative solutions and synergy. One of the proposed means employed is to increase both technical and non-technical communication strategies. This will encourage the nation’s inhabitants to become citizen scientists in a pedagogy that is aligned with this committee's voice. We thank the South African people and foreign agencies for their financial contributions via taxes and direct donations. With your support, our researchers have been able to provide and share the findings within this report which you have made possible through your investments and contributions. Dialogue and growth in working together is needed and why the designed and carried out solutions in this report are effective- economical and pragmatic, enabling all residents of SA and globally to employ, test, and enhance within their own personal spaces, work and government facilities.
