Electrosmog: how to protect yourself

"Last December 12, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) made history. The non-profit group representing more than 60 000 physicians supported H.R. 6358, the Cell Phone Right to Know Act, introduced by Ohio Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH). It hence became the first major American medical body to state : "It is essential that any new standards for cell phones or other wireless devices be based on protecting the youngest and most vulnerable populations to ensure they are safeguarded through their lifetimes.'' While the Republican-dominated Congress probably will not adopt the bill, it reflects a growing view in scientific circles that exposure standards for electromagnetic fields (EMF) such as radiofrequencies (RFs) emitted by wireless devices should be reexamined to consider non-thermal effects such as cancer. The law would also require warning labels applied on cell phones to indicate the amount of radiation they emit and financing a national research program to examine their health consequences, especially on children, pregnant women and other vulnerable populations. New standards, AAP president Dr Thomas K. McInerny wrote Rep. Kucinich, "will enable parents to better understand the potential dangers of RF energy exposure and protect their children". McInerny's letter gives additional credence to the growing number of studies indicating the exponential increase in RF exposure in recent years may be a major public health threat. And it is powerful counterweight to industry's and mainstream media's attacks on the credibility of these studies and their authors."
