A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF)

BioInitiative Report:

"An international working group composed of scientists, researchers and public health policy professionals (The BioInitiative) has joined together to document the information that needs to be considered in the international debate about the adequacy (or inadequacy) of existing public exposure standards for extra-low frequency (ELF-EMF) and radiofrequency (RF-EMF). In August of 2007, the BioInitiative presented a science-based assessment of the research and public health policy issues which argue for new, biologically-based exposure standards. ELF-EMF information addresses electromagnetic radiation from such sources as electric power lines, interior wiring and grounding of buildings and appliances. RF-EMF recommendations addresses radiofrequency and microwave radiation from such sources as cell phones, cell towers, WI-FI and other wireless technologies. →
