A collection of research on Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs)

• Colleague Oram Miller sharing his response to EMF Skeptics

• Over 500 research studies showing impacts of EMFs on human health.

• The BioInitiative 2012 Report has been prepared by 29 authors from ten countries, ten holding medical degrees (MDs), 21 PhDs, and three MsC, MA or MPHs. Among the authors are three former presidents of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, and five full members of BEMS. The Bioinitiative Report is an amazing resource for anyone looking to learn more about the harmful effects of EMFs.  There’s updated research summaries at this link. 

• International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety (ICEMS) is a non-profit organization that promotes research to protect public health from electromagnetic fields and develops the scientific basis and strategies for assessment, prevention, management and communication of risk, based on the precautionary principle.

• EMF Facts has a bunch of Paper showing the concerning impacts of EMF.

• Dr. Magda Havas, PhD. has a website dedicated to the study of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and electromagnetic radiation (EMR).

• Governments that ban or warn against wireless technology

• Colleague Oram Miller cites a ton of articles on the impacts of EMF in his article, “Research Citations on the Health Hazards of Cell Phones, Cordless Telephones and Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi)”

Radio Frequencies

• Youtube presentation by Dr. Martin Pall (Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences from Washington State University), EMF Protection Health Presentation (1:57 minutes)

• Dr. Martin Pall on “Electromagnetic Field Exposure act via activation of voltage-gated calcium channels and how this leads to diverse impacts on health” (1:37 minutes)

• Millimeter (MM) wave and microwave frequency radiation produce deeply penetrating effects: the biology and the physics 
• This is a study on the impacts of 5G mm waves.
• The electric but not magnetic part of MM-EMFs are almost completely absorbed within the outer 1 mm of the body.
• The primary mechanism of EMF action is voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) activation with the EMFs acting via their forces on the voltage sensor, rather than by depolarization of the plasma membrane.
• Cell Phones and the Risk of Brain Cancer Mortality: A Twenty-Five Year Cross-Country Analysis.  To Preview our results, we show a simple time series graph of brain cancer mortality and mobile phone subscriptions per 100 people lagged by 15 years in Figure 1.  The graph shows that Brain cancer deaths reverse a decade long decline around 2000, corresponding to the first increases in mobile phone prevalence beginning in 1985. 

• High Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation Associated With Cancer in Male Rats.  The National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded there is clear evidence that male rats exposed to high levels of radio frequency radiation (RFR) like that used in 2G and 3G cell phones developed cancerous heart tumors, according to final reports released today. There was also some evidence of tumors in the brain and adrenal gland of exposed male rats. For female rats, and male and female mice, the evidence was equivocal as to whether cancers observed were associated with exposure to RFR.

Lighting

• Artificial Light at Night and Cancer: Global Study.  Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been linked to an increased risk of cancers in body sites like breast and colorectum. The outcome measure was age-standardized rates (ASR) of cancers used Protected Light Area Pollution Indicator (PALI) and Protected Area Human Influence (PAHI).  Study found that PALI and PAHI were positively associated with ASR of all forms of cancer, and also the four most common types (cancer, lung, breast, and colorectal). The conclusion of this study said, “Artificial light at night is significantly correlated for all forms of cancer as well as lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers individually. Immediate measures should be taken to limit artificial light at night in the main cities around the world and also inside houses.”

• Exposure to room light before bedtime suppresses melatonin onset and shortens melatonin duration in humans.  The results of this study: “Compared with dim light, exposure to room light before bedtime suppressed melatonin, resulting in a later melatonin onset in 99.0% of individuals and shortening melatonin duration by about 90 min. Also, exposure to room light during the usual hours of sleep suppressed melatonin by greater than 50% in most (85%) trials.”

Conclusions:  “These findings indicate that room light exerts a profound suppressive effect on melatonin levels and shortens the body’s internal representation of night duration. Hence, chronically exposing oneself to electrical lighting in the late evening disrupts melatonin signaling and could therefore potentially impact sleep, thermoregulation, blood pressure, and glucose homeostasis.”
