Scientific Research on Wireless Radiation Health Effects – Environmental Health Trust

Cell phones and wireless expose people to a type of microwave radiation also known as radiofrequency radiation. Read research on wireless health effects.

Study: Wireless radiation exposure for children should be hundreds of times lower than current federal limits

A peer-reviewed study by the Environmental Working Group recommends stringent health-based exposure standards for radiofrequency radiation emitted from wireless devices for both children and adults. EWG’s children’s guideline is the first of its kind and fills a gap left by federal regulators.

All too often our elected officials put forward industry tied science which, as you will learn in this section, has problems. Here is a short list of links providing evidence of the undue influence of the Telecommunications and Wireless Industries on policies and research.

How Big Wireless Made Us Think That Cell Phones Are Safe:

The Nation: A Special Investigation—the disinformation campaign—and massive radiation increase-behind the 5G rollout.

…”This Nation investigation reveals that the wireless industry not only made the same moral choices that the tobacco and fossil-fuel industries did; it also borrowed from the same public-relations playbook those industries pioneered. The playbook’s key insight is that an industry doesn’t have to win the scientific argument about safety; it only has to keep the argument going. That amounts to a win for the industry, because the apparent lack of certainty helps to reassure customers, even as it fends off government regulations and lawsuits that might pinch profits.” …

“A closer look reveals the industry’s sleight of hand. When Henry Lai, the professor whom Carlo tried to get fired, analyzed 326 safety-related studies completed between 1990 and 2005, he learned that 56 percent found a biological effect from cell-phone radiation and 44 percent did not; the scientific community apparently was split. But when Lai recategorized the studies according to their funding sources, a different picture emerged: 67 percent of the independently funded studies found a biological effect, while a mere 28 percent of the industry-funded studies did. Lai’s findings were replicated by a 2007 analysis in Environmental Health Perspectives that concluded industry-funded studies were two and a half times less likely than independent studies to find a health effect.”
