We are all surrounded by
radiation - at home, at work and out on the road. We all use domestic appliances, computers and cordless phones throughout
the Day. All of these
products are sources of
electromagnetic radiation, as are GSM and UMTS masts
About Dr. Devra
Davis
Cited by TIME, Newsweek, and other major
media, Environmental Health Trust consistently provides cutting-edge research and education about cellphones and
other environmental health hazards and promotes constructive policies locally, nationally and internationally,
bringing you the world's top science and scientists.
EHT is led by Dr. Devra Davis, PhD,. MPH, an award-winning, internationally renowned
scientist who also was the founding director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology of the U.S.
National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Magda Havas simplifies the engineering
behind Electro Magnetic Fields and dispelsthe
myths of safety that have been
misleadingly created by our Goverrnments and Technologyexperts.
Dr. Havas is an associate professor of
Environmental & Resource Studies at Trent University where she teaches and does research on the biological
effects of environmental contaminants. Her research deals with the health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic
energy at the extremely low frequency range associated with electricity (60 Hertz) and at the radio frequency range
commonly associated with wireless telecommunication. Dr. Havas is particularly interested in monitoring exposure of
the population in urban centres to radio frequency radiation and power-frequency fields. She is the author of
numerous works on the subject. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, completed Post-Doctoral
research at Cornell University, and taught at the University of Toronto before going to Trent University in
Peterborough, Canada.
What is Radiation?
(Electromagnetic) radiation is essentially
energy that is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles.
These waves differ in type, wavelength and frequency and can be flowing or blocked, which is what
happens when they are briefly interrupted by a mobile or cordless phone for example. The length of
the wave is directly related to the frequency (the number of waves per second). At the
low-frequency end of the spectrum it is possible to make a distinction between electrical fields
and magnetic fields. We do not make this distinction here. We refer to both as
radiation.
Most people know that mobile/cell phones
emit radiation. But there are also many other sources of radiation that can be experienced as very
disturbing.
Sources of
radiation inside your home which need radiation protection:
mobile/cordless
phones
baby monitors
computers
halogen transformers
televisions
induction hobs
energy efficient and fluorescent light
bulbs
electrically adjustible beds
the electrical system in your home
electric blankets
microwaves
wireless networks
dimmer switches and transformers
waterbeds
Sources of
radiation outside your home which need radiation protection:
GSM and UMTS masts
high-voltage cables
power supply systems for trains and
trams
satellite transmitters
terrestial radiation (emitted by the
earth)
radars
transformer cabinets
Smart Meters
Physical Ailments and Hypersensitivity to
Radiation
There are various factors that determine
whether radiation has an adverse effect on a person’s health.
the frequency of the radiation (the
number of waves per second)
the intensity of the
radiation
the shape of the
radiation
the duration of exposure to the
radiation
Magda Havas demonstrates how WiFi connects your laptop, iPhone and iPad to
the internet via microwave radiation. You will also learn how WiFi base stations, portable phones
and baby monitors constantly radiate microwave radiation. The Swiss Government feels that all of
these devices have the potential to do great harm if used incorrectly and warn their
citizens.
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt PhD- Smart Meters and EMR - The Health Crisis of
our Time
Fascinating review of what Dr. Klinghardt refers to as diseases of our
generation, from Autism to Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
syndrome - all created by the wireless revolution.
Sincewe are all different, we experience the effects of radiation
differently. The intensity of the reaction to radiation also differs from one person to another.
People who experience severe symptoms as a result of exposure to radiation are
said to suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). It is also common for
people to (initially) experience less pronounced sensitivity to radiation.
However, ailments such as fatigue and headaches could be a warning sign. Many
electro-hypersensitives have found that symptoms that start out as mild can become more severe.

Hypersensitivity.
