3)  Blood Brain Barrier

The first study was conducted by Dr. Allan Frey (1975) (who already proved the “Auditory Effect” / “Frey Effect” of non-thermal Microwave Radiation) The study found that non-thermal levels of microwave radiation can break the blood brain barrier. 
​Current FCC "safe" exposure limits consider only thermal effects.  


Neural function and behavior: defining the relationship. The Swedish Neuro-Scientist, Dr. Lai Salford confirmed Frey's study regarding the Blood Brain Barrier. He conducted further studies on the various effects of this radiation on the brain. Summary by Arthur Firstenberg from Cellular Phone Task Force about Salford's work and link to his study.

4)   National Toxicology Program (NTP) Study 

On Nov. 1 2018, the final report of the results of the $30 million 14-year study of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) was published and determined the study showed CLEAR EVIDENCE that cell phones cause cancer and breaks the DNA.

​This is the largest study of its kind. A peer review panel of 11 scientists confirmed the findings of "clear evidence" on March 28, 2018.

We now have the government study that proves beyond a doubt the harm of wireless technology and it should be a game changer. The public must be warned and protected. Dr. Ron Melnik, PhD, Senior Toxicologist and Director of Special Programs in the (NIEHS), who lead the study until he retired, said in 2016: "The NTP tested the hypothesis that cell phone radiation could not cause health effects and that hypothesis has now been disproved. The experiment has been done and, after extensive reviews, the consensus is that there was a carcinogenic effect”. In regard to the DNA damage findings, Dr. Melnik stated that the results of the study: “should put to rest the old argument that RF radiation cannot cause DNA damage”.




5)   Bioinitiative Report (2012) 

The Bioinitiative report is the most comprehensive review of studies on biological effects caused by EMFs. It was prepared by 30 world-leading scientists and public health professionals. The authors reviewed 3000 peer reviewed studies on EMF's, including 1,800 on the effects of wireless radiation. Their conclusion: "Bio-effects can also occur from just minutes of exposure to mobile phone masts (cell towers), Wi-Fi, and wireless utility ‘smart’ meters that produce whole-body exposure".    https://bioinitiative.org/

6)  The Ramazzini Study

The Ramazinni study is a 6 million Euro study conducted by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy. The study is similar to the NTP study with one major difference – while the NTP study used levels of radiation similar to those emitted from a cell phone, the Ramazzini used levels of radiation 6,000 times lower, which are more like the levels of radiation we get from further away cell towers. The results were the same as the results of the NTP.

Cancer from Cell Towers – Meta Analysis Paper- Yakymenko et al (2011)

A good summary of studies including army and air-force studies that show wireless radiation from cell towers and radars have severe adverse effects. This is a good study to explain to legislators why we should not allow 5G towers near our homes or children's schools.

9)  Exposure to non-ionizing radiation magnetic fields increases risk of miscarriage


OAKLAND, Calif. — A study of real-world exposure to non-ionizing radiation from magnetic fields in pregnant women found a significantly higher rate of miscarriage, providing new evidence regarding their potential health risks. The Kaiser Permanente study was published in the journal Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).

10)  Autism – Prof. Martha Herbert MD. PhD is a pediatric Neurologist from Harvard University who specializes in autism.

After exploring the potential correlation between the exponential increase in the rates of children with autism to the exponential increase in our exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiation from wireless, she concludes that there is a likely correlation

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0928468013000370

She is now convinced that there are established non-thermal effects from wireless radiation and is a strong advocate against WiFi in schools.

11)   ADHD – Prof. Hugh Taylor (2012) Yale University 

The study showed that when pregnant mice were exposed to microwave radiation, it caused changes in the brains of their babies and behavior that resembled ADHD. Fetal Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure From 8001900 Mhz-Rated Cellular Telephones Affects Neurodevelopment and Behavior in Mice.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22428084

Human study that confirms that animal study results – results of 5 studies on a total of 83,000 women which confirmed that women who were exposed to more wireless radiation while pregnant has higher chances of having children with behavioral and attention deficit problems.

12)   Oxidative Stress Mechanism – Meta Analysis Paper - Yakymenko (2015) 

This analysis shows that 93 out of 100 studies show wireless radiation causes oxidative stress, a mechanism that can lead to cancer, non-cancer diseases, and DNA damage. This study disproves the wireless industry’s misleading statements that there are no mechanisms by which non-thermal levels of wireless radiation can affect the body. It also disproves the industry contentions that "the overwhelming majority of studies show no effects".

15)    ​Microwave Sickness – Belyaev et al (2016)

EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016 For the Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of EMF-Related Health Problems and Illnesses. Microwave Sickness is the more accurate name for electro-sensitivity (ES). It is the most widespread manifestation of illness from wireless radiation with mainly neurological symptoms. At least 10% of the population has already developed the condition; the rates are likely much higher. In 2016, the EMF working group of the European Academy for Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM) published guidelines, which include a review of the science of Electro-Sensitivity and instructions for doctors on how to diagnose and treat ES. It is important to know that Microwave Sickness is Recognized under the ICD-10 as ‘Radiation Sickness’ and was acknowledged by various government agencies as a disability.

16)  California Medical Association (CMA) Resolution on Wireless Standards Reevaluation (2014)

Resolution 107- 14 - The California Medical Association passed a resolution stating that our current safety standards are not adequate to protect public health and need to be revised to take into account non-thermal biological effect. Its resolve states: "CMA support efforts to implement new safety exposure limits for wireless devices to levels that do not cause human or environmental harm based on scientific research."

In this resolution CMA acknowledges that “… peer reviewed research has demonstrated adverse biological effects of wireless EMF including single and double stranded DNA breaks, creation of reactive oxygen species, immune dysfunction, cognitive processing effects, stress protein synthesis in the brain, altered brain development, sleep and memory disturbances, ADHD, abnormal behavior, sperm dysfunction, and brain tumors…” CA Medical Association is the only medical association that passed such a resolution.
