The World Health Organisation considers electronic smog to be "one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences" and adds that "everyone in the world" is exposed to it and "levels will continue to increase as technology advances"
Electronic smog is the emission of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, computers, wireless technology and many other electronic devices.
Around your home there are now countless gadgets whose electrical fields, scientists now warn, are linked to a whole host of health problems. Scientific support for this is now hard to ignore.
Ailments linked to electronic smog
- Headaches
- Joint pain
- Fatigue
- Chronic Insomnia
- Depression
- Leukemia
- Cancer
- Alzheimers disease
- Eye problems
- Memory loss
- Stroke
A few more examples:-
- Professor Denis Henshaw, professor of human radiation effects at Bristol University says that " a huge and substantiative body of evidence indicates a range of adverse health effects"
- Professor David Carpenter, dean of School of Public Health at State University of New York, told a national newspaper that electronic smog was likely to cause up to 30 per cent of all childhood cancers.
- A report by the California Health Department concludes that is likely to cause adult leukemia, brain cancers and could be responsible for a 10th of all miscarriages.
Scientific Research:-
- Scientists estimate that our daily exposure to radiation is 100 million times higher than it was in our grandparents' time.
- A study by the National Radiological Board, UK has linked electronic smog to leukemia in children.
- The Health Protection Agency, Britains top health protection watchdog, has warned against the ill effects of WiFi networks on children as this system is increasingly being set up in British schools.
- According to a Swedish study, because of intense usage of cell phones the present generation of teenagers runs the risk of becoming senile by middle age.
- A study by Finnish scientists reported a 40 percent increase in the risk of developing a brain tumor for those using cell phones for over ten years.
- Recent research has found a dangerous association between cell phones and a mans sperm quality.
- We are exposed to higher doses at night from clock radios, electric blankets, computers and TV's on stand by because of the time spent sleeping in close proximity to all manner of electronic devices in the bedroom.
*Baby's in particular are at risk from baby listening devices!
