The authors say they reviewed more than 2000 scientific studies and reviews, and concluded that the existing public safety limits are inadequate to protect public health." From a public health policy standpoint, new public safety limits, and limits on further deployment of risky technologies are warranted based on the total weigh of evidence." The report documents scientific evidence raising worries about childhood leukaemia (from power lines and other electrical exposures), brain tumours and acoustic neuromas (from cell and cordless phones) and Alzheimer's disease. If finds evidence that EMF is a risk factor for both childhood and adult cancers. |
