U.N. INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR BIODIVERSITY Monday 22nd May 2023
And National Biodiversity Week Ireland 19th to 28th May 2023
Under the Aarhus Convention environmental information is to be proactively shared. On the International Day for Biodiversity and in Ireland’s National Biodiversity Week the following factual scientific information regarding the effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) upon biodiversity is being shared with you.

Electromagnetic fields from powerlines, cell phones, cell towers and wireless impacts the birds, bees, wildlife and our environment. Below is just a small example of the critical research that has been done on this issue.

The following three-part wildlife study was submitted as part of the key evidence in a recent filing against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) USA (Ireland’s equivalent of ComReg). The case was won by the Environmental Health Trust and the Children’s Health Defence in August 2021. Result: the FCC was mandated to re-examine its wireless radiation safety limits/guidelines.

It would be difficult to find an area in Ireland where the distress of the trees in this observation study is not mirrored:
