EMF safety and EMF protection research.

EMF (electromagnetic field) protection is necessary according to electro magnetic field (EMF) exposure research.

EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure to power frequency (50-60 Hz) or above, damages cellular/neurological homeostasis and sleep parameters according to reputable peer reviewed research.

Brain wave electroencephalogram (EEG) is altered by wireless devices including your cell phone and wireless networks in the workplace. 5 minute cell phone calls break DNA strands in your brain! This is proven FACT; read the research cataloged here.

You should consider some form of EMF protection if you (or a loved one);

uses a cell phone regularly (without shielded ear bud) or works in close proximity to several people who use cell phones; you live in close proximity to power lines, live or work within 300 meters of radio broadcast towers, cellular microwave base stations; you work in an office with 2.4 GHz wireless networks (or above or below an office with wireless network); or if you are experiencing unexplained muscle twitch, difficulty sleeping, inability to concentrate, degrading memory, degrading typing speed, balance deficit, headaches, fatigue.

If you've got children, take a drive past your kids' schools and make sure their school isn't sitting next to broadcast stations or cellular microwave base stations. Can you say attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD)?

Three groups each of eight rats were exposed for 2 hr to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) mobile phone electromagnetic fields of different strengths. We found highly significant (p< 0.002) evidence for neuronal damage in the cortex, hippocampus, and basal ganglia in the brains of exposed rats.

Cellular telephones and effects on the brain: the head as an antenna and brain tissue as a radio receiver.
Weinberger Z, Richter ED.
Jerusalem College of Technology, Jerusalem, Israel.
Headache and other neuropsychological symptoms occur in users of cellular telephones, and controversy exists concerning risks for brain cancer. We hypothesize these effects result from the head serving as an antenna and brain tissue as a radio receiver. Brain cells and tissues demodulate the cell-phone's audio frequencies from the radio frequency carrier. Low audio frequencies in the ranges of alpha and beta waves affect these waves and thereby influence brain function. These effects state the case for a precautionary policy.

Women, significantly more often than men, complained of headache, nausea, loss of appetite, sleep disturbance, depression, discomfort and visual perturbations. This first study on symptoms experienced by people living in vicinity of cellular base stations shows that, in view of radioprotection, minimal distance of people from cellular phone base stations should not be less than 300 m. (985 feet)!  If you are a municipal /governmental employee (working in police station/municipal offices/town hall), odds are you work right next to or under one of these base stations.

"The effect of microwaves from a mobile phone... has an impact on the stability of cells in the body. The main effects are neurological, causing headaches, memory loss and also sleeping disorders," The researchers found that volunteers had a disturbed sleep pattern for as much as 50 minutes after being exposed to the radiation.

Electromagnetic field standards in Central and Eastern European countries: current state and stipulations for international harmonization.
Gajsek P, Pakhomov AG, Klauenberg BJ.
Air Force Research Laboratory, Directed Energy Bioeffects Division, Brooks AFB, TX 78235, USA.
Electromagnetic field standards in the West are based upon the specific absorption rate, which is proportional to tissue heating (thermal effects), representing the basic restriction of exposure to Radio-Frequency (RF) fields. On the other hand, Eastern European standards are designed to protect from potential non-thermal effects that might be caused by chronic exposure to very low intensities, where a so-called "power load" (a product of field intensity and duration of exposure) represents the basic limitation.

Over the past two decades, there has been increasing interest in the biological effects and possible health outcomes of weak, low-frequency electric and magnetic fields. Epidemiological studies on magnetic fields and neurobehavioural reactions have been presented. More recently, neurological, degenerative and heart diseases have also been reported to be related to such electromagnetic fields. Furthermore, the increased use of mobile phones worldwide has focussed interest on the possible effects of radiofrequency fields of higher frequencies.

[Danger of cellular telephones and their relay stations]
[Article in French]
Santini R, Seigne M, Bonhomme-Faivre L.
Cellular phones and their base stations emit pulsed microwaves in the environment. Cellular phone users are exposed in the near field and, under this condition, a large part of the electromagnetic energy is absorbed by the head, leading to an increased brain temperature.  Some European countries (Italy, France, Belgium, etc.) have taken measures to protect their populations.

Are mobile phones harmful?
Blettner M, Berg G.
School of Public Health, University of Bielefeld, Germany.
Findings on the thermal effect of acute exposure to radiofrequency fields were consistent, resulting in an increase of cellular, tissue or body temperature by 1 degree C or more.  If you get a sensation of warmth inside your head when holding your cell phone to your ear (or useing a non-shielded headset),...your not imagining it.

It should be stressed that standards adopted protect the user's head against the thermal (heating) effect, whereas the question on whether they also protect against non-thermal effects still remains without answer.  Non-Thermal effects are suspected of perpetrating several CNS disrupting effects as can be shown in 60 Hz study below.  It is hypothesised that PEMFs at brain-wave specific frequencies help to reduce or completely ameliorate the deleterious effects of higher frequency EMF exposure.
