“Why are people afraid of EMFs?” – The EMF Question of the Day
People are afraid of EMFs (electro-magnetic fields), because the EMFs are non-natural sources of radiation. These man-made EMFs are caused by our technological advances in communication and by the use of electricity.
While no one is saying that electricity or cellular devices are solely bad and should be gotten rid of, many people have reservations about the level of exposure that humans are getting from man-made EMFs.
And the science is starting to prove these people right.
A landmark study by the National Toxicology Program (part of the National Institute of Health) found that high exposure to one type of EMF (radio frequency radiation or RFR) caused malignant tumors in rats and mice.
The study subjected rats and mice to high levels of older 2G and 3G radiation from cell phones and found the following:
- Clear evidence of tumors in the hearts of male rats.
The tumors were malignant schwannomas. - Some evidence of tumors in the brains of male rats.
The tumors were malignant gliomas. - Some evidence of tumors in the adrenal glands of
male rats. The tumors were pheochromocytomas.
The above example is why some people are “afraid of EMFs” and why you and your family should consider lowering your exposure, if possible.
