The Biological Effects of Weak Electromagnetic Fields Problems & Solutions Part 1
Foreword
I am a retired lecturer from Imperial College London, which is among the top three UK universities after Oxford and Cambridge and is renowned for its expertise in electrical engineering and health matters. I spent many years studying calcium metabolism in living cells and also how cells, tissues and organisms are
affected by electrical and electromagnetic fields.
In this article, I will try to explain in lay-person’s language how weak electromagnetic fields from cell phones, cordless phones and Wi-Fi can have serious effects on human and animal health. These include damage to glands resulting in obesity and related disorders, chronic fatigue, autism, increases in allergies and multiple chemical sensitivities, early dementia, DNA damage, loss of fertility and cancer.
All this happens at levels of radiation that the cell phone companies tell us are safe because the radiation is too weak to cause significant heating. This is the only criterion that they use to assess safety. In fact, the direct electrical effect on our cells, organs and tissues do far more damage to us at energy levels that may be hundreds or thousands of times lower than those that cause significant heating. These are termed non-thermal
effects. As yet our governments and health authorities are doing nothing to protect us from them. This need not be so. By understanding the mechanisms of these non-thermal effects, it is possible to put most of them right, as I will show in the following article.
