See what experts say about EMFs and the effects on human health. With respect to wireless communications, the cell phone industry may find themselves in the same spot as Johns-Manville Corporation, manufacturer of asbestos, with thousands of lawsuits. Ronald Motley, a South Carolina attorney, said John-Manville was "the greatest corporate mass murderer in history" due to its history of hiding evidence of the ill effects of asbestos from its workers and the public.
As of December 2008 87% of the US population had cell phones. WiFi usage is surging ahead and so is WiMAX which is so much more powerful and detrimental than WiFi. Cell phone tower frequencies need to keep up with and support the new generation of minicomputers - the iPhone.
The wireless communication industry is more caught up in their greed and the consumer is in denial of any cause for concern. People with EMF sensitivity are not getting the attention they deserve. Doctors don't have a clue what EMF sensitivity is nevermind what to do to address it and reverse the damage to the body. There is just as much risk and impact to the environment and the animal and insect world.
From The Venice Resolution created by the International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety (www.ICEMS.eu): "We take exception to the claim of the wireless communication industry
that there is no credible scientific evidence to conclude there a risk.
Recent epidemiological evidence is stronger than before, which is a
further reason to justify precautions be taken to lower exposure
standards in accordance with the Precautionary Principle."
The Precautionary Principle states when there are indications of possible adverse effects, though they remain uncertain, the risks from doing nothing may be far greater than the risks of taking action to control these exposures. The Precautionary Principle shifts the burden of proof from those suspecting a risk to those who discount it.
What a minute though, cell phone radiation is just part of the
problem. Humans are surrounded by all things electric-partly by choice partly not.
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is a general term used to refer to the invisible energy field emitted from electrical and electronic appliances, power lines and wireless devices
such as cell phones, cordless phones, PDAs, cellular antennas, towers, and
broadcast transmission towers etc. The problem is humans are relying on the government to keep us safe. The EMF standards for safety are too high and outdated since research continues to prove harm is coming from exposures to EMFs below these standards. It was previously thought that "high" frequencies were dangerous and "low" frequencies were not. This is proving to be incorrect.
Camilla Rees, MBA,CEO, Wide Angle Health, LLC,Patient education and advocacy says below:“The U.S. spends over $2 trillion dollars on health care each year, of which about 78% is from people with chronic illnesses, without adequately exploring and understanding what factors—including EMF/RF—contribute to imbalances in peoples’ bodies’ in the first place. After reading The BioInitiative Report, it should come as no surprise to policymakers, given the continually increasing levels of EMF/RF exposures in our environment, that close to 50% of Americans now live with a chronic illness."
As Paul J. Rosch, MD mentions further down the page, "All communication in the body eventually takes place via very subtle electromagnetic signaling between cells that is now being disrupted by artificial electropollution we have not had time to adapt to. As Alvin Toffler emphasized in Future Shock, too much change in too short a time produces severe stress due to adaptational failure. The adverse effects of electrosmog may take decades to be appreciated, although some, like carcinogenicity, are already starting to surface."

“Sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation is the emerging health problem of the 21st century. It is imperative health practitioners, governments, schools and parents learn more about it. The human health stakes are significant”.

“Cells in the body react to EMFs as potentially harmful, just like to other environmental toxins, including heavy metals and toxic chemicals. The DNA in living cells recognizes electromagnetic fields at very low levels of exposure; and produces a biochemical stress response. The scientific evidence tells us that our safety standards are inadequate, and that we must protect ourselves from exposure to EMF due to power lines, cell phones and the like, or risk the known consequences. The science is very strong and we should sit up and pay attention.”
Olle Johansson, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, The Experimental Dermatology Unit, Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden; Author of the BioInitiative Report’s section on the Immune System.
“It is evident that various biological alterations, including immune system modulation, are present in electrohypersensitive persons. There must be an end to the pervasive nonchalance, indifference and lack of heartfelt respect for the plight of these persons. It is clear something serious has happened and is happening. Every aspect of electrohypersensitive peoples’ lives, including the ability to work productively in society, have healthy relations and find safe, permanent housing, is at stake. The basics of life are becoming increasingly inaccessible to a growing percentage of the world’s population. I strongly advise all governments to take the issue of electromagnetic health hazards seriously and to take action while there is still time. There is too great a risk that the ever increasing RF-based communications technologies represent a real danger to humans, especially because of their exponential, ongoing and unchecked growth. Governments should act decisively to protect public health by changing the exposure standards to be biologically-based, communicating the results of the independent science on this topic and aggressively researching links with a multitude of associated medical conditions.”

"Electromagnetic fields are packets of energy that does not have any mass, and visible light is what we know best. X-rays are also electromagnetic fields, but they are more energetic than visible light. Our concern is for those electromagnetic fields that are less energetic than visible light, including those that are associated with electricity and those used for communications and in microwave ovens. The fields associated with electricity are commonly called “extremely low frequency” fields (ELF), while those used in communication and microwave ovens are called “radiofrequency” (RF) fields. Studies of people have shown that both ELF and RF exposures result in an increased risk of cancer, and that this occurs at intensities that are too low to cause tissue heating. Unfortunately, all of our exposure standards are based on the false assumption that there are no hazardous effects at intensities that do not cause tissue heating. Based on the existing science, many public health experts believe it is possible we will face an epidemic of cancers in the future resulting from uncontrolled use of cell phones and increased population exposure to WiFi and other wireless devices. Thus it is important that all of us, and especially children, restrict our use of cell phones, limit exposure to background levels of Wi-Fi, and that government and industry discover ways in which to allow use of wireless devices without such elevated risk of serious disease. We need to educate decision-makers that ‘business as usual’ is unacceptable. The importance of this public health issue can not be underestimated.”
