Electromagnetic Pollution Overview

The object of this website is to provide information on current knowledge and scientific research regarding Electro-magnetic pollution, its resultant medical condition known as Electro HyperSensitivity (EHS) and to suggest available possible solutions for those who wish to take precautions and invest in their safety for now and the future. You only need to compare the Exposure Tables in the Biological Effects section to work out the dangers and realise we are on our own in terms of protecting ourselves and family. The main points on each page have been written in bold for those who want a quick overview and who do not want to go through the extensive science.
When people hear talk about pollution it usually conjures up images of London or Mexico City in the smog of years gone by. We assume that if the air looks clear there is no pollution. Although we cannot see it, Electromagnetic(EM) pollution is very much a menacing reality that is ever-increasing without our knowing. Some people are experiencing in excess of millions of times more radiation pollution than our relations had only 100 years ago. Due to this being a relatively new phenomenon and increasing all the time, people will be shocked to discover that little if any research has been carried out to determine safe levels for anything beyond short term exposure. There is mounting evidence to demonstrate that there are adverse biological effects but closing the door now after the electromagnetic horse has already bolted may limit further damage but does nothing to address what has gone before and is no doubt here to stay. With financial conflicts of interest resisting the metaphorical stable door from being closed it is likely that the increasing EM pollution will continue to increase. Much of the causative technology is seen as "progess" from a communications perspective and when it is in people's nature not to want to give up what they perceive as an enhanced and improving lifestyle with gadgets for almost everything we can imagine we must look to finding ways of helping the body to cope and deal with our new polluted environment. Cancer prevalence is now fast approaching the statistic that 1 in 2 people will get it at some point in their life. It is a scary fact that Dr Neil Cherry, Environmental Scientist has already predicted that every human in the future will get many cancers.
Human electrical inventions for work and entertainment have resulted in alterations to the living and working environment over a very short period of time that has been too quick from an evolutionary perspective for the body to adapt to and cope with. We live and work in buildings containing ring mains electrical circuits. The modern household typically has multiple TVs, iDECT wireless phones, WiFi for computers and printers etc, leaky microwave ovens, electric blankets, mobile phones and Bluetooth head-sets and we are encouraged to use “green” low-energy electric light-bulbs instead of the older design of filament light-bulb. There may be high power mobile phone masts and high voltage power cables in the vicinity of the buildings. All the above and many more common electrical gadgets emit electrical pollution that has biological effects to varying degrees. We are bombarded with electromagnetic pollution in multiple wavelengths, some of which are known to pass deep into the body according to their wavelength.
Some scientists such as Dr Roger Coghill in the UK have been trying to alert successive Governments to the dangers of electrical fields of certain commonly used frequencies. There have been many reports of people using mobile phones for long periods or who keep them on their body in a certain area getting cancers associated with the head or those parts of the body commonly in close proximity to the mobile phone. Whilst the mobile phone companies have steadfastly refuted any such link it is interesting to note that mobile phones these days have lower emissions and a shorter talk time capability consistent with a lower power output. Many people still feel their ear getting warm when talking on mobile phones which demonstrates the biological effect on the body.
There is an obvious conflict of interest between what is perceived as technological progress with gadgets that emit electrical smog fields and what those with no vested interest are telling us is an adverse biological influence. Scientists inevitably seem to disagree on what constitutes a safe environment and unfortunately it is usually those with the largest financial investment and clout in technology who shout loudest and more often than not it seems get their own way. The rest of us are left with the aftermath of those decisions.
Some authorities will still try to maintain that there is no danger from non-heating/non-thermal radiation. Research tells us differently and some countries have adjusted their recommended safety levels accordingly. The World Health Organisation now recognises Electromagnetic Hyper-Sensitivity as a medical condition. The Biological Effects section of this website explains how these radiations interfere with the body and reports on research that details the health effects that can follow.
The Solutions section lists a number of ways in which people can take precautions and protect themselves and their loved ones now rather than wait for either the authorities to admit there is a problem or for your health to deteriorate, whichever comes sooner. The choice is yours! |
