Overviews of scientific studies on the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation
Is wifi harmful to health?
Biological and Pathological Effects of 2.4 GHz WiFi Radiation on Cells, Fertility, Brain, and Behavior. By Isabel Wilke. Source: Environment • Medicine • Society. Special Edition in issue 1-2018. Translated from German by JRS. A very robust review article with thematically sorted discussion of scientific studies in detail - JRS. What effects do studies on WiFi show? Studies show that WiFi radiation causes oxidative stress, DNA damage, sperm damage, EEG changes, and other effects. This article is a systematic review of studies on the effects of non-ionizing radiation in the microwave (MW) frequency 2.45 GHz (2,450 MHz), which is mainly used for WLAN/WiFi (Wireless...
Health Risks from Cellphone & Cell Tower Radiation: Implications for 5G – Joel M. Moskowitz, PhD, UC Berkeley
Source: Center for Family and Community Health, UC Berkeley. Presented by Joel M. Moskowitz, PhD. Contents of this webinar: 97% of U.S. adults own a cellphone of some kind. The vast majority, 85%, own a smartphone. This presentation summarizes research on biologic and health effects from exposure to radio frequency radiation emitted by cell phones and cell towers. Dr Moskowitz discusses the implications of this research for 5G, the fifth generation of cellular technology. He starts by describing what wireless or radio frequency (RF) radiation is, including 5G, and its relationship to ionizing radiation. Then he goes on to summarize the biologic...
5G health risks for highest frequencies unknown, writes Netherlands Health Council
2020 - In its report on 5G, the Health Council of the Netherlands recommends postponing the rollout of the 'second wave' 26 Gigahertz frequency band. No research has yet been conducted into the health risks of these high 5G frequencies. The committee advises to do more research into the connection with cancer, reduced male fertility and birth defects. The committee conducted a worldwide search for scientific studies related to this never before used 26 GHz frequency band, but only found a handful of radar studies. The nine-member committee writes in its report that there is a lot of public concern about...
Bioinitiative Report: a scientists’ warning
The Bioinitiative Report has been updated over the years 2014-2019. See the updated research summaries below. This report has been written by 14 (fourteen) scientists, public health and public policy experts to document the scientific evidence on electromagnetic fields. Another dozen outside reviewers have looked at and refined the Report. The purpose of this report is to assess scientific evidence on health impacts from electromagnetic radiation below current public exposure limits and evaluate what changes in these limits are warranted now to reduce possible public health risks in the future. Not everything is known yet about this subject; but what is clear...
WHO classifies electromagnetic fields as potentially carcinogenic
On 31 May 2011, after a week of meetings by 31 scientists from 14 different countries, the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer), a division of the World Health Organisation WHO, announced in a press release that it will classify high-frequency electromagnetic fields (used by mobile telephony) in group 2b: 'possibly carcinogenic'. It does so mainly on the basis of Interphone and Hardell's research into brain tumours: glioma and auditory nerve tumours. In 2008, 237,913 new cases of brain tumours were recorded worldwide (2/3 of which concerned malignant gliomas). With this IARC statement, the WHO is leaving the dogma that only...
