Electromagnetic field exposure has increased about 1 quintillion (1018) times over the past 100 years - that is 10 with 18 zeros! (Lancet Journal, 2018). It seems logical that this would have potential biological and ecological implications. A growing body of scientific research is confirming that non-native electromagnetic fields (cell phones & towers, wifi, modern tech, etc) causes detrimental effects in the human body and environment.
Recently two major multi-million dollar studies confirmed these hazardous effects, but government & industry are slow to respond once again. More than a dozen other countries recommend reducing radiofrequency radiation exposure to children, and countries such as China, Italy, India and Russia have far more stringent cell tower radiation regulations in place when compared to the United States FCC. Given the size of the potential impact, there is inadequate awareness, research, and regulation, and people should take precautions to reduce exposure now. We can not simply give up all technology, but there are ways to make it safer while still utilizing its amazing benefits.
LANDMARK NEWS ON EMFS
♦ 1998 ♦
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON NON-IONIZING RADIATION PROTECTION
Established public exposure regulations for EMFs, but only for thermal exposure (tissue heating) on the belief that only acute thermal effects are hazardous. This has since been shown to be false (see Lancet article below) but these are still the only guidelines being used today. (LINK)
♦ 2011 ♦
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH (NIH)
"In healthy participants and compared with no exposure, 50-minute cell phone exposure was associated with increased brain glucose metabolism in the region closest to the antenna." (LINK)
♦ 2011 ♦
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION & INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR CANCER RESEARCH
Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields are classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use (LINK)
♦ 2016 ♦
US NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM
This 10 year $25 million dollar study on just 2G & 3G exposure found "clear evidence" of cancer, including the type cited by the IARC. These findings were verified by scientists from the National Institute of Health (NIH). Many say the FDA, who nominated this study, is downplaying these findings. (LINK)
♦ 2018 ♦
RAMAZZINI INSTITUTE
This $6 million dollar study done by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy replicated the US NTP's study and found the same results of cancer, even with using lower emf exposure. The scientists call on WHO & IARC to reevaluate the "possible carcinogen" classification. (LINK)

LANCET JOURNAL
"Planetary electromagnetic pollution: it is time to assess its impact," EMF exposure has increased 1 quintillion (1018) times over the past 100 years. Look at the article's references for a list of strong research on this topic. (LINK)
In 1896 ionizing radiation was discovered, and it wasn't until 1928 that safety standards were created. In the 1970s, the asbestos industry in court was shown to have covered up danger since 1930s, with first negative health effects noted in 1899. In 1912 a doctor declared a link between tobacco and lung cancer… then in 1964 Surgeon General officially declared the link, yet tobacco industry still denied through the 90s! EMFs are the cigarettes of the 21st century. That analogy fits perfectly in many ways, from the way that the health effects are long term cumulative, to the tactics and propaganda of the industries.
Compared with adults, research on children shows that emf radiation is absorbed twice as much into their brain, up to triple in their brain’s hippocampus and hypothalamus and up to ten times as much into the bone marrow of skull. See the Environmental Health Trust's website to learn more about the emf issue.
