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.

For some time there has been a section on this blog titled, “Bees and Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)” originally to report on the possible connection between CCD and increasing radiofrequency/microwave (RF/MW) levels worldwide. Although it is likely this may be a factor, the central culprit increasingly looks like pesticides, such as Imidacloprid which has been [...]
