It's a Question of Evolution
Electromagnetic Radiation, Our Health and the Environment
From the Introduction to the Educational Video 'Public Exposure'
Over the millions of years Life has evolved on Earth, the natural background level of radio frequency radiation has been very low. Then, starting only 100 years ago, the explosion in wireless technologies like radio, TV, Radar and microwave has boosted our everyday RFR exposure levels by at least 10,000 times.
Our bodies and each of the cells within them are like antennae, extremely sensitive receivers and transmitters of electromagnetic radiation. Now they must function in a new electromagnetic environment which already has 10,000 times more RFR than the one in which they evolved.
And today a new wireless revolution is in progress with the number of mobile phones, communication satellites, microwave antennae and mobile phone masts multiplying daily. That means even more RFR for all of us.
It’s not surprising then, that around the world, growing numbers of citizens, scientists and public officials are beginning to ask just what are the human health and environmental effects of the wireless revolution.
Dr Neil Cherry of Lincoln University, New Zealand is one of the world’s leading researchers into the effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health. In his commentary on the video, Public Exposure, he explains:
“Electromagnetic fields are intrinsic to us, they are in us, we can measure them, our heartbeat, we have an ECG – they are in us, they ARE us – they are intelligence, they are our cells.
“The body is an antenna, so we absorb the radiation in proportion to the resonance between your body size and the optimal ariel.”
“People find it difficult to understand how a very small magnetic field could change cell behaviour when the Earth’s magnetic field is so powerful.”
“Well, the difference is the Earth’s magnetic field in which our ancestors lived was a static field. When you take a field and you oscillate it, then the cells, which are changing with time, have this oscillating field imposed on them. This is what changes their behaviour. This is what points to the dramatically increased incidence in cancers various and leukaemia in particular.”
