U.S. Government Failure to Address Wireless Radiation Risks

U.S. Government Failure to Address Wireless Radiation Risks

For more than two decades, Federal health agencies have argued that we don't have conclusive evidence of harm from exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by wireless devices, including cell phones, cordless phones, baby monitors, and wireless wearables. Yet, we do not have any compelling evidence that our everyday exposure to EMF from wireless devices is safe.
Today Microwave News published an exposé about the failure of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences(NIEHS) to report the results of a $25+ million project to assess the cancer risk of wireless radiation in laboratory animals. The study was proposed by the National Toxicology Program in 2001. Preliminary results have been released to industry, but  not to the press or the public. NIEHS has refused to release project documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

In June, journalist Norm Alster published an exposé that provides insight into how the FCC, the Federal agency that regulates wireless radiation, became a victim of regulatory capture by the industry it is supposed to regulate. He discusses the implications for our health and safety of the wireless industry's corrupting influence on the FCC.

It is time for the U.S. and other governments to adopt the recommendations of the International EMF Scientist Appeal with regard to electromagnetic fields ...
