“There is enough evidence to indicate we may be damaging non-human species at ecosystem and biosphere levels across all taxa from rising background levels of anthropogenic non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) from 0Hz to 300 GHz….Any existing exposure standards are for humans only; wildlife is unprotected…”

Accumulated research indicates that electromagnetic radiation should be considered seriously as a complementary driver for the dramatic decline in insects, acting in synergy with agricultural intensification, pesticides, invasive species and climate change.  The research review  “Electromagnetic radiation as an emerging driver factor for the decline of insects” published in Science of the Total Environment found “sufficient evidence” of effects in insects including impacts to flight, foraging and feeding, short-term memory and mortality.

French MEP Michèle Rivasi died on 29th November 2023.

She was a passionate advocate for the protection of public health, biodiversity and the environment. 

Amongst her many causes, she fought for the acceptance of harm from EMFs and for recognition of people affected.  She hosted a workshop on EHS in the European Parliament and worked with and supported many groups and organisations in this regard. 

She will be greatly missed by many.

Professor Andrew A. Marino, Departments of Orthopedic Surgery, Neurology and Cellular Biology & Anatomy (retired) 

THIS SITE contains a comprehensive collection of articles and other information relating to his systematic studies of the biology and biophysics of natural and man-made electromagnetic energy, and to its medical, sociological, and legal significance. The articles deal with the existence, extent, cellular basis, mechanism of action, and risks to human health caused by human exposure to man-made electromagnetic energy in the human environment, and with the legal implications of the health risks. The articles include reports of the effects of electromagnetic energy on human subjects, animals, tissues, and cells. The reports describe experimental, theoretical, analytical, and mechanistic studies of the interaction of electromagnetic energy with biological systems, and the use of electromagnetic energy for medical purposes. 

Electromagnetic Energy 

In laboratory studies on animals, Marino and co-workers showed that exposure to man-made electromagnetic energy present in the human environment caused changes in the neurological, endocrinological, and immunological systems of the animals, and affected growth and survival. 

Hypersensitivity 

In a laboratory investigation involving a carefully chosen human volunteer, after exhaustive clinical testing excluding the possibility that any recognized disease could account for the observed reaction of the volunteer to the controlled application of electromagnetic energy, Marino and co-workers concluded that the volunteer suffered from a novel neurological syndrome, electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

The European Union assessments of radiofrequency radiation health risks – another hard nut to crack (Review)

Posted on September 28, 2023 by ES-Ireland

Nyberg, Rainer, McCredden, Julie and Hardell, Lennart.

“The European Union assessments of radiofrequency radiation health risks – another hard nut to crack (Review)” Reviews on Environmental Health, 2023.

https://doi.org/10.1515/reveh-2023-0046

Abstract

In 2017 an article was published on the unwillingness of the WHO to acknowledge the health effects associated with the use of wireless phones. It was thus stated that the WHO is ‘A Hard Nut to Crack’. Since then, there has been no progress, and history seems to be repeating in that the European Union (EU) is following in the blind man’s footsteps created by the WHO. Despite increasing evidence of serious negative effects from radiofrequency radiation on human health and the environment, the EU has not acknowledged that there are any risks. Since September 2017, seven appeals by scientists and medical doctors have been sent to the EU requesting a halt to the roll-out of the fifth generation of wireless communication (5G). The millimeter waves (MMW) and complex waveforms of 5G contribute massively harmful additions to existing planetary electromagnetic pollution. Fundamental rights and EU primary law make it mandatory for the EU to protect the population, especially children, from all kinds of harmful health effects of wireless technology. However, several experts associated with the WHO and the EU have conflicts of interest due to their ties to industry. The subsequent prioritizing of economic interests is resulting in human and planetary health being compromised. Experts must make an unbiased evaluation with no conflicts of interest. The seven appeals to the EU have included requests for immediate protective action, which have been ignored. On the issue of wireless radiation and the health of citizens, the EU seems to be another hard nut to crack.

Introduction

The 5G appeal regarding the next generation for wireless communication [1] has been endorsed by 430 scientists and MDs [2] and sent to the EU seven times. These appeals have requested the EU to take appropriate measures to protect humans and the environment from the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields used for wireless communications (wireless EMF). The first appeal was sent in September 2017. The most recent 7th Appeal was sent to the EU January 12, 2023 [3]. Unfortunately, there has not been any positive response from the EU to this latest submission or any subsequent preventive measures put in place.

Politicians seem to have set their course for deployment of this technology, regardless of detrimental effects. In an email dated January 30, 2023 by Ralph Kuhne regarding the 7th Appeal and on behalf of Ms Stella Kyriakides, Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, it was stated that: We take note of your position on the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and on the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks – SCHEER (previously SCENHIR). However, we must recall that these bodies are well recognised at national and international level for their scientific excellence and independence from commercial, national, and vested interests. In the following sections of this paper we discuss the legal aspects of this reply, as well as the updated science on this issue.

EU decision-makers are mandated to protect the EU population, especially children, from all kinds of harmful health effects, including those from wireless technology. Such mandates are given in The European Convention of Human Rights [4], The Charter of Fundamental Rights [5], primary law [6] and case law from the European Court of Justice. Table 1 summarizes the main EU policies and statements that are being violated by the unfettered rollout of 5G, based on the blind adherence to ICNIRP guidelines….

Neurosurgeon Warns Patients and Parents about Wireless Radiation Dangers

Posted on September 25, 2023 by ES-Ireland

La Maison du 21e siècle – André Fauteux

“Dr Hillel Baldwin recounts how his wife became gravely ill over five years ago. Epidemiologist Samuel Milham referred the Arizona-based couple to a local expert in electromagnetic field (EMF) detection and mitigation, Paul Harding of Total EMF Solutions. His wife is much better since they rid their house of wireless devices emitting probably carcinogenic microwave radiation, but she is still electrohypersensitive today.

Dr. Baldwin is a Barrow Neurological Institute-trained surgeon and works closely with the Environmental Health Trust to help inform citizens, physicians and politicians of the dangers of EMFs. Based on numerous independent data-driven studies,r. Baldwin and many other scientists are convinced that this man-made radiation we use daily in homes, schools, businesses and even hospitals is partly responsible for the recent epidemic rise in the incidence of several central nervous system cancers, neurological diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.”

4th Case Study Published: 5G Health Effects To Family Living Close To 5G Cell Antennas

Posted on September 24, 2023 by ES-Ireland

Sweden  – Authors Mona Nilsson  and Lennart Hardell

In the recently published case report “5G Radiofrequency Radiation Caused the Microwave Syndrome in a Family Living Close to the Base Stations” a family of three living at distances of about 50 and 70 meters to two base stations with 4G and 5G transmitters reported symptoms included in the microwave syndrome. The daughter had the most severe health issues, for example sleeping problems, headache, concentration and memory problems, skin disorders, irregular heartbeat, light sensitivity, anxiety and panic attacks.

Excerpts:

In this article we present a new case study of a family including three persons, a woman 55 years, a 20 year old man and a 19 year old woman. The fourth family member, the father, did not participate. All live in an apartment with two 5G/4G base stations directed towards their apartment, one at a distance of around 50 meters and the second at a distance of around 70 meters. The base stations are placed on the roof of two adjacent 6-floor buildings. The apartment of the family is located at a slightly lower height, on the fourth floor, in another building across the street (Figure 1)

Base stations for 3G and 4G had previously been active at the same locations since at least 2013, but were replaced by 5G and 4G technology and antennas in the middle of July 2021 (B in Figure 1) and during the month of May 2022 (C in Figure 1).

The family members declared having several symptoms typical for the microwave syndrome and were most severe in the woman aged 19. In early September 2021 the young woman experienced worsened health symptoms with development of several of the reported symptoms. She had already before the deployment of the two 5G base stations some health problems in terms of sleep disturbances, pain in the body and the joints and occasionally high pulse rate. There are no measurements of the RF microwave radiation from the previous 3G/4G base stations situated at the same spots since at least 2013. The present 5G equipment was installed during July 2021 (B in Figure 1) and during May 2022 (C in Figure 1).

Although the levels in the daughter’s bedroom were lower than in the other family members’ bedrooms, she reported more health issues. However the levels measured at the pillow in her bedroom are far above the levels previously reported to increase risk of ill health in studies of persons living close to base stations [24], and the levels of maximum exposure recommended by the BioInitiative Report and the EuropaEM EMF Guidelines [25]. Further, it is known that the sensitivity to RF radiation can vary considerably among individuals.

The RF radiation levels measured in this study, and in our three previous case studies on this topic, were very much higher than levels in previous generations of wireless technology found to increase the risk of ill health such as symptoms of the microwave syndrome. The distance to the base stations is within the radius also previously reported to increase the risk of similar symptoms [24, 26-31]. The RF radiation levels are also far above levels recommended by experts. In 2012, the BioInitiative Report proposed to limit human exposure to 30-60 µW/m2 and even lower for sensitive persons and children, 3-6 µW/m2 [32]. Also the EuropaEM EMF guidelines proposed in 2016 to limit exposure to maximum 10 – 1000 µW/m2 and even lower at night time, 1-100 µW/m2 . For sensitive persons a maximum of 0.1-10 µW/m2 was recommended [33] ….
