The telecommunications industry and their experts have accused many scientists who have researched the effects of cell phone radiation of “fear mongering” over the advent of wireless technology’s 5G. Since much of our research is publicly-funded, we believe it is our ethical responsibility to inform the public about what the peer-reviewed scientific literature tells us about the health risks from wireless radiation.
The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently announced through a press release that the commission will soon reaffirm the radio frequency radiation (RFR) exposure limits that the FCC adopted in the late 1990s. These limits are based upon a behavioral change in rats exposed to microwave radiation and were designed to protect us from short-term heating risks due to RFR exposure.
Yet, since the FCC adopted these limits based largely on research from the 1980s, the preponderance of peer-reviewed research, more than 500 studies, have found harmful biologic or health effects from exposure […]
Some ten years ago, the head of one of the largets cancer research clinics banned the on-premisis use of cell phones by employees. His action has been buried in an avalanche of industry backed studies touting use as safe but setting warnings and cautions about use that obstensibly help companies stay clear of liability.
How mant are aware of the use warnings? Are they adequate?
Personally our cell phone is only used for travel.
5G looks even more problematic.
