Don Beattie, G3BJ, representing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iaru.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>IARU<\/strong><\/a>, made input on its projections of harmful emissions from WPT systems, both generic and wireless electric vehicle charging, operating at the existing harmonic emission limits.
