Role of EMF’s in childhood leukaemia
The
Bioinitiative Report states that "there is little doubt that exposure to ELF (from
electrical and electronic appliances and power lines) causes childhood
leukaemia". However, the biological mechanism by which magnetic fields may have
this effect is yet to be determined. Chinese researchers have now found that
children who have a modified gene are unable to fully repair damaged DNA. They
are 4 times more likely to develop leukaemia if they live within 100m power
lines than are children who live in the same area but have a fully functioning
version of this gene.
Researchers at the University of Bern have found that people
living within 50 metres of a high voltage (220 – 380kV) power line had a higher
than normal risk of dying from Alzheimer’s Disease. As the risk increased over
time, after 15 years of living near these lines, the risk was double the
expected rate.
Canadian researcher, Magda Havas,
has found that transient EMF’s (“dirty electricity”) in the kHz range on
electrical wiring may be contributing to elevated blood sugar levels among electrically
sensitive diabetics and pre-diabetics.
Ambient electromagnetic fields may affect human sperm quality
According to a Microwave News report, a Californian researcher
has found that daily magnetic field exposures of 1.6mG or higher for at
least two-and-a-half hours were associated with significantly poorer semen quality.
Men who were exposed to over 1.6mG for over six hours a day were four times
more likely to have substandard sperm.
A group of leading researchers in
the field of electromagnetic safety has confirmed the existence of non-thermal (non-heating)
effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) on living matter. They have called
for urgent work to be done to discover the mechanisms of by which EMF’s cause
these effects and for exposure standards to be lowered in accordance with the
Precautionary Principle.
Aggravated symptom relapses after use of EMR protection products
Dr George Carlo, an expert in the
study of health effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure, has raised
concerns regarding the high number of electro-hypersensitive people who are
reporting serious symptom relapses after 9 to 18 months’ use of products which
claim to be protective against EMR.
Electromagnetic fields from incubators may affect baby's heartbeat
Italian researchers have found
that electromagnetic fields produced by incubator motors can reduce the normal
heart rate variability in newborn babies.
