BioInitiative
2012 Report Issues New Warnings
on Wireless and EMF
University at Albany, Rensselaer, New York / January 7, 2013
A
new report by the BioInitiative Working Group 2012 says
that evidence for risks to health has substantially increased
since 2007 from electromagnetic fields and wireless technologies
(radiofrequency radiation). The Report reviews over 1800 new
scientific studies. Cell phone users, parents-to-be, young
children and pregnant women are at particular risk.

- The Minneapolis Star Tribune printed an editorial
written by Jackie Hunt Christensen on how various external
sources of electromagnetic interference can affect implanted
medical devices, such as the deep brain stimulation system
that she has to treat her Parkinson's disease. Ms. Christensen
is a Parkinson's disease and environmental health activist

Network and Co-facilitator for the Collaborative on Health
and the Environment's Parkinson's Disease and Environment
Working Group.

December 11, 2006 WBAI 99.5 FM 99 Health Action host Bob Lederer’s
interview with
Cindy Sage, MS, (MP3 format) EMF Environmental Consultant
since 1982. Ms. Sage has published numerous articles and books
on electromagnetic fields, health effects and public policy.
In this interview she analyzes the subject selection and data
collection methodology of the Schuz JNCI study and how this
led to the study’s findings of “no increased risk
of brain tumors or overall cancer.” She also critiques
the statement of co-author John Boice, a Vanderbilt University
professor and scientific director of the International Epidemiology
Institute in Rockville, MD, that, "There's really no
biological basis for you to be concerned about radio waves."

need RealPlayer

for making this interview available. www.wbai.org The Health
Action show airs every Monday at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. Bob

W.
Ross Adey, M.D., electromagnetics bioeffects researcher
for several decades, has written a response
to an invitation from the National Academy of Sciences/National
Research Council PAVE PAWS Committee (pdf) to participate
at their forthcoming meeting at Woods Hole, Massachusetts,
on possible PAVE PAWS radar bioeffects. This letter discusses
the long history of U.S. military involvement with the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in the setting of
radiofrequency radiation human exposure standards in the U.S.
These
two new articles by EMF researcher W. Ross Adey, M.D. will
be published in an upcoming issue of The Internal Encyclopedia
of Neuroscience, Third Volume, B. Smith and G. Adelman, editors.

University of Washington Alumni Association Magazine Columns,
March 2005, on-line edition - Cover Story - "Wake-up
Call"
Can Radiation from Cell Phones Damage DNA in Our Brains? When
One UW Researcher Found Disturbing Data, Funding Became Tight
and One Industry Leader Threatened Legal Action
This cover
story article chronicles the experience of University of Washington
alumnus Henry Lai, PhD and his research partner N.P. Singh,
MD as they studied the effects of microwave radiation on the
brain and in the process learned first-hand about the politics
of big science.
"Wake-up
Call," was written by Rob Harrill who is the engineering
writer in the UW’s College of Engineering. Although
his children are not allowed cell phones (despite repeated
pleas), both he and his wife use one sparingly.
