Electromagnetic Fields Are Everywhere
Experts say that due to modern technologies we are living in a virtual EMF "soup"
The most common sources are power lines, cell towers, electrical wiring and all "wireless" devices
WHAT DO SCIENTIFIC STUDIES SHOW ABOUT EMF RISK?
The Truth is not difficult to find
WHILE CONDUCTING STUDIES IS REGARDED AS DOING SCIENCE, WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT IT IS ALSO A BUSINESS.
People are almost always paid by someone to do studies. There are various stakeholders who often influence the outcome or interpretation in some way. To be objective in our search for the truth we must see through and past the possible biases.
In this age of science, we all tend to trust “studies”. We quote them all the time. Perhaps you have caught yourself saying: “I just read a study that says …” (blay blah blah) or “I remember somebody did a study on (something) and they proved that …” (yada yada yada). We trust too much! Frankly, many studies (maybe the majority) are not designed in a rigorous fashion. This is part of the reason that so many studies appear to contradict each other. In addition, most studies are designed to evaluate simple “cause and effect” and cannot account for all related or extraneous conditions.
For example, the question: “Do cell phones cause cancer?” sounds like a simple question everyone wants an answer to. The problem is - it’s not that simple. There are hundreds of types of cancer. What type of cell phone? How often used? How close to the body and where? In animals or humans? How many subjects must be tested to be really convincing? Are there different health effects not examined by the study?
And perhaps even more important:
- WHO IS DOING THE STUDY?
- WHAT ARE THEIR BIASES?
- WHO IS FUNDING THE STUDY?
- HOW HONESTLY ARE THEY REPORTING THE RESULTS?
- WHAT OTHER FACTORS ARE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE STUDY?
- IS THE STUDY PEER REVIEWED?
Scientific Studies on EMF Exposure
Here are Some Major Studies on the effects of EMFs
Power Watch is a non-profit organization composed of a small group of scientists and engineers from several countries. Their bias, if any, is not clear. However, their website is a wonderful tool to explore studies on EMF topics. Around 1,700 peer reviewed studies are categorized into 9 subject groups. Studies are listed from most recent and tagged as to "has found effects", "has found no effects", neither but "has offered important insights".
The Bioinitiative Report is an impressive compilation of 1,800 recent studies on EMF. Studies were evaluated and compiled by a panel of 29 authorities - most with PHDs or MDs - and are well organized by categories. Color coding identifies studies which show effects and those that don't. Of the 1,800 studies reviewed, the majority (about 70%) show negative effects from EMF exposure.
The Environmental Health Trust is a non profit organization dedicated to exposing health risks of EMF and advocating for stricter regulations. This bias should be kept in mind as you peruse the site. The website is full of interesting studies, articles, videos etc.
