Health issues related to electromagnetic radiation exposure and chemical exposure

EMFacts Consultancy, founded in 1994 by Don Maisch, has produced a wide range of reports and papers dealing with various health issues related to human exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation.

This website was established in 1997 as an independent source of information on the possible health and safety issues arising from human exposure to Electromagnetic Energy (EME).

This consists of both 50 and 60 Hertz (Hz) Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) from our use of electricity and Radio-frequency/Microwave (RF/MW) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) from telecommunications.

This site is designed to be utilized as a resource by individuals, groups, organisations and communities who are trying to em power themselves by gaining a better understanding of the complex issues involved with this important environmental issue.

"Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened; heed only one side and you will be blinded. We are facing a big knowledge gap in evaluating EMF health risk at this stage. This is the reason why there is no satisfactory and generally acceptable EMF standard around the world. I think an international EMF exposure standard might only be established on the principle of science and democracy, on the principle of mutual understanding and to reach unanimity through consultation." - Opening remarks by Professor Huai Chiang at the 3rd International EMF Seminar in China, 13-17 October 2003.

The Brave New World of Super Wi-Fi

A very interesting site is the Physics arxiv blog that is published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It covers the latest in technology developments. This posting on the roll-out of “Super Wi-Fi” in the US. All based on the mistaken assumption that the only biological effects of microwave exposure are thermal. ‘Super Wi-Fi’ [...]

Mining cell phone user data

From the Physics arXiv Blog: Mobile Phone Data Reveals Human Reproductive Strategies Posted: 30 Jan 2012 09:10 PM PST The pattern of calls and texts between humans reveals how women invest more heavily in their main relationship than men; and how this changes as they age Various studies have shown that the frequency of contact [...]

Critique on recent Greek study on cell phone effects on mice brains

January 31, 2012 in -Mailing List, Cell phone news by EMFacts

On the 21st of January I posted a press release on the recent study by researchers from the University of Athens and the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens that reported finding a large number of changes in major brain proteins after exposure to cell phone radiation. The authors speculated that these changes [...]

Silencing an ‘inconvenient’ voice in the Czech Republic

January 25, 2012 in -Mailing List, Corporate influence on Science, Tobacco science and the art of spin by EMFacts

And now a brief look at the Czech Republic’s 2001 acquiescence to ICNIRP. The following is extracted from my thesis, The Procrustean Approach. Chapter 4: IEEE’s thermal paradigm spreads internationally, pp. 173 – 175. Unfortunately this is how modern science works on behalf of ICNIRP. Just replace the word ‘science’ with ‘economics’ and its more [...]

Now its silencing an ‘inconvenient’ voice in Italy

January 25, 2012 in -Mailing List, On ICNIRP and WHO, Tobacco science and the art of spin by EMFacts

Just as what happened in Sweden, where an initiative to reduce EMF and chemical exposures in the workplace was eliminated because it was inconvenient to economic interests, [ Link: http://www.emfacts.com/download/no_risk_Feb_7.pdf] much the same is now happening in Italy. I suspect that part of an economic bailout for the ravaged Italian economy is an unquestioning adherence [...]
