Wireless Hazards Panel
An Emerging Public Health and Environmental Issue

Columbia University Law School was the site for a panel on the health hazards of electromagnetic fields. The panel was comprised of health advocate Camilla Rees, founder of www.ElectromagneticHealth.org; attorney Whitney North Seymour, Jr., a co-founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Martin Blank, PhD, of the Dept. of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics at Columbia University, a widely published scientist in this field.

When you review this video, the panel will give an overview of:

1) the new condition, “electrohypersensitivity”, where people become functionally impaired and sometimes disabled near wireless technologies such as cell phones, cell towers, DECT portable phones, RFID tags and wireless routers;

2) known biological effects of microwave radiation; and

3) the legal battles being fought across the country [USA] and the globe, related to this rapidly proliferating invisible environmental pollutant.

Learn:

How the Telecommunications Act of 1996 [USA] took away the ability of state and local governments to protect people from wireless hazards.
Why the European Parliament has recommended greatly lowered exposure guidelines, including wireless-free schools, day care centers, retirement homes and health care facilities.

Why countries around the globe are recommending limited cell phone use by children.

What the impact of microwave radiation is on animals and wildlife.

How the telecommunications industry is responding.

How lawyers and law students can make a difference.

Understand why this is a critical issue for our country [USA] to address now, including:

1) links to many chronic and serious illnesses, which are expected to increase with chronic exposures;

2) plans to blanket metropolitan areas in Wi-Max, a high powered form of wi-fi,

3) federal commitment to a National Broadband Plan which is comprised heavily of wireless technologies; and

4) new radiation emitting utility technologies being deployed in SmartGrids, bringing an additional layer of radiation onto electrical wiring.
