Wi-Fi networks and cell phones create high density wireless radiofrequency exposures in classrooms. Research has found radiofrequency radiation associated with cancer, brain damage, headaches, memory problems and damage to the reproductive system. Safer solutions do exist that allow internet connectivity but without harmful wireless exposures.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Many schools in the USA and worldwide are replacing wireless with safe wired technology connections due to this research. Teacher unions are passing resolutions for safe technology. Oregon has passed a bill to study the health effects of Wi-Fi in school and the Maryland State Children’s Environmental Health And Protection Council issued the first-ever US state recommendations to reduce classroom wireless exposure.</p><p style="border: 0px;

Washington, DC, July 30, 2020 — Environmental Health Trust (EHT), the scientific think tank headed by Devra Davis PhD, MPH, filed its principal brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Wednesday in a landmark case against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The appeal is aimed at getting the FCC to reconsider, revise, and update its 24-year old exposure limits for radio-frequency radiation (RFR) from cellphones, cell towers, Wi-FI networks, smart meters, and other wireless communication devices and facilities.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
The FCC opened an Inquiry into the adequacy of its exposure limits in 2013 after the Government Accountability Office issued a report in 2012 stating that the limits may not reflect current science and need to be reviewed. In response, hundreds of scientists and medical professionals submitted a wealth of <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=13-84&q=filers.name:(*Environmental%20Health%20Trust*)&sort=date_disseminated,DESC" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #004482; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">peer-reviewed studies</a> showing the consensus of the scientific community is that RFR is deeply harmful to people and the environment and is linked to cancer, reproductive harm, and other biological ills to humans, animals, and plants.</div>

Notwithstanding the extremely well-documented record of these negative impacts from RFR, the FCC released an order in December 2019 deciding that nothing needed to be done and maintaining that the existing, antiquated exposure limits are adequate now and for the future.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
In large measure, the FCC simply ignored the vast amount of evidence in the record showing an urgent need for action to protect the public and the environment. EHT contends that the FCC ignored the recommendations of hundreds of medical experts and public health experts who called for updated regulations that protect against biological impacts and for the development of policies to immediately reduce public exposure.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
The brief contends the FCC has violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because its order is arbitrary and capricious, and not evidence-based; violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) because the FCC did not take a hard look on the environmental impacts of its decision; and violated the 1996 Telecommunications Act (TCA) because the FCC failed, as required by the TCA, to consider the impact of its decision on the public health and safety.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We submitted numerous studies clearly documenting adverse effects at radiofrequency levels allowed by the FCC. Our<a href="https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/109130755017293/Cancer%20epidemiology%20update%2C%20following%20the%202011%20IARC%20evaluation%20of%20T%20radiofrequency%20electromagnetic%20fields%20(Monograph%20102).pdf" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #004482; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> published research</a> sent to the FCC concludes that radiofrequency radiation is an established human carcinogen. Cell phones held close to the head will substantially increase the risk of a type of brain cancer—glioblastoma. Yet FCC limits do not protect against cancer nor any other disease,” stated Dr. Anthony B. Miller, Professor Emeritus at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto and former Director of the Epidemiology Unit of the National Cancer Institute of Canada. “FCC limits only protect against overheating living tissue. The FCC’s so called ‘safety’ limits are based on decades old science that only investigated short-term effects. Those limits are based on the proven false and erroneous assumption that heat is the only harm from radiofrequency microwave radiation.”</div>

“Environmental Health Trust has worked for a decade to protect the public from environmental pollutants,” said Devra Davis PhD, MPH. “Our children deserve safe technology and there is no negotiating with their future. As the legacy of lead, asbestos, and tobacco teaches us, this issue deserves the immediate attention of our federal government in order to protect our children’s healthy future.”</div>

“The FCC entirely ignored the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, hundreds of scientists and over 30 medical and public health organizations. Wireless emission limits should protect children who will have a lifetime of exposure,” stated Theodora Scarato, Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust. Scarato pointed out that the FCC “saw no reason to take steps to protect children” despite voluminous scientific evidence on the record showing that children are uniquely vulnerable due to their developing brains and bodies.</div>

“Equally shocking is how the FCC could state that the existing limits which were developed in 1996 are protective without even addressing the impact of the existing limits on the natural environment. In this regard, there was a noticeable absence of on-the-record comments by the EPA. In fact, the EPA recently <a href="https://ehtrust.org/epa-birds-bees-trees-5g-wireless-effects/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #004482; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">stated</a> that it has no funded mandate to even review research on RFR. Yet there is a great deal of evidence in the FCC proceeding showing that radiofrequency radiation is harmful to birds, bees and trees.”</div>

Published peer reviewed science already indicates that the current wireless technologies of 2G, 3G and 4G – in use today with our cell phones, computers and wearable tech – creates (create) radiofrequency exposures which poses (pose) a serious health risk to humans, animals and the environment. Scientists are cautioning that before rolling out 5G, research on human health effects urgently needs to be done first to ensure the public and environment are protected.</div>

“Small cells” are microwave antennas (basically shorter cell towers) rapidly being installed in public areas on utility poles and street lights in front of homes, parks and schools. Just like cell towers, these wireless antennas generate and emit microwave radiofrequency (RF) radiation to transmit 2G, 3G and 4G network signals. Companies soon plan to add a new technology called 5G which will use current 4G technology plus even higher frequencies. The higher frequencies include millimeter-wave emissions that were not previously released into public areas.</div>

5G will utilize not only the frequencies currently in use, but also higher millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave frequencies. Small cells being installed in cities are usually 4G technology with a wide variety of frequencies. Thus, when we consider the health impacts of 5G and small cells we are looking at research on current technologies and frequencies in use in addition to research on sub-millimeter and millimeter waves. The 5G standard is new there are no studies that have looked at long term human exposure to 5G. However the current body of research finding effects from current wireless technology provides enough data for scientists to call for a moratorium.</div>

Although they did not find changes in cytokines due to exposure to RF alone or enhancment of the effects of UV radiation, their findings indicate changes after exposure and point to the importance of investigating this and other effects on skin. The authors conclude that, “the investigation of the possible adverse effects on the skin due to the high frequency electromagnetic fields become more and more important before the deployment of 5G mobile systems. Using this new technology, the absorption of exposure to RF in the skin will be enhanced. The skin will be the most important target organ of the RF exposure to 5G. Therefore, our approach of combined (i.e., consecutive) exposure to UV and RF might be important in future research related to 5G and skin.”</span></div>

Among other variables, dependencies on carrier frequency, polarization, modulation, intermittence, electromagnetic stray fields, genotype, physiological traits, and cell density during exposure were reported. Nowadays, biological and health effects of 5G communication, which will use microwaves of extremely high frequencies (millimeter waves MMW, wavelength 1- 10 mm), are of significant public concern. It follows from available studies that MMW, under specific conditions of exposure at very low intensities below the ICNIRP guidelines, can affect biological systems and human health. Both positive and negative effects were observed in dependence on exposure parameters. In particular, MMW inhibited repair of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation at specific </span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">frequencies and polarizations.

Although fields are highly focused by beams, they vary rapidly with time and movement and so are unpredictable, as the signal levels and patterns interact as a closed loop system. This has yet to be mapped reliably for real situations, outside the laboratory.” “While the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) issues guidelines for limiting exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (EMF), and EU member states are subject to Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC which follows ICNIRP guidelines, the problem is that currently it is not possible to accurately simulate or measure 5G emissions in the real world” (</span><a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/IDAN/2019/631060/IPOL_IDA(2019)631060_EN.pdf" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #004482; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Blackman & Forge, 2019</a><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">).</span></div>

Researchers found “the largest contributors to total personal environmental RF-EMF exposure were downlink (meaning from cell tower base stations) and broadcast.” </span></div>

Therefore we cannot only focus on a persons cell phone use as the way people are exposed to this radiation. People are exposed to wireless radiation even when they are not using a mobile device due to cell towers, antennas and hotspots and they have no control over this. </span></div>

<br />HEALTHY CLASSROOMS<br /><br /><br />Our children, teachers, and staff deserve safe and health technology. Wi-Fi networks and cell phones create high density wireless radiofrequency exposures in classrooms. Research has found radiofrequency radiation associated with cancer, brain damage, headaches, memory problems and damage to the reproductive system. Safer solutions do exist that allow internet connectivity but without harmful wireless exposures.<br /><br />Many schools in the USA and worldwide are replacing wireless with safe wired technology connections due to this research. Teacher unions are passing resolutions for safe technology. Oregon has passed a bill to study the health effects of Wi-Fi in school and the Maryland State Children’s Environmental Health And Protection Council issued the first-ever US state recommendations to reduce classroom wireless exposure.<div>

Passing on a message from <span style="caret-color: rgb(130, 130, 130);">Denise Ricciardi, a brave elected official in New Hampshire se to be a state Senator </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Dear Friends,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
For those of you that don’t know me my name is Denise Ricciardi.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
My story began several years ago when a proposed cell phone tower was going</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
to be built near our elementary school in a family neighborhood in my town.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
When I learned of this proposal, I did my research and studied the potential</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
health effects that this tower could have on the children. I don’t have to tell you</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
that what I learned was appalling.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
So began a huge battle that lasted several years. I fought against the town that I</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
live in who wanted the tower and I fought against Crown Castle Verizon. I fought</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
this tower at the local level by educating and recruiting other members of the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
community to join me in my efforts against placing this tower near our school.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Our efforts were succeeding and they knew it. That’s when this issue landed in</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Federal court.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The attorney fees to fight this in Federal court were estimated to cost me over</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
$70,000. I couldn’t afford to pay those fees, but I wasn’t about to give up. I spent</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
time in the library learning about the law and the Federal court process that was</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
about to begin. I decided to file a motion to intervene and represent myself in</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Federal court against Verizon.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
This was David vs. Goliath – actually it was David vs a whole legal team of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Goliaths and they had home court advantage.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The opposing attorneys objected to my motion, but the judge granted it to me.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The judge looked at me and she said that I would learn more than a first-year</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
law student by going through this process. She also told me that I would have to</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
write and file all of my own documents, and follow all of the same rules of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Federal court that the opposing lawyers had to follow.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Every week I drove to the courthouse, I reviewed the logbook of motions and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
painstakingly researched for examples in court precedence and wrote my own</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
court documents to fight them. They tried to wear me down, but they didn’t</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
know me. I never back down, I am tenacious. I started issuing subpoenas, I hired</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
a stenographer and I wrote 32 interrogatories for the town and Crown Castle</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Verizon. It was at that point the opposing attorney admitted that he never</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
thought that I would get as far as I had, and they withdrew their plans – I won.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
People in other communities throughout New Hampshire that were facing the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
same type of situation started calling me asking for help. Then calls started</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
coming in from other parts of the country. Throughout this process I learned</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
more and more about 5G and its adverse effects on our health and privacy. This</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
led me to fly to Washington where I met with various members of Congress and</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
spoke at a rally on the steps of the US Supreme Court.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Shortly after, I was recruited to run for Town Council in my community - the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
same community that fought against me on that tower. I won and now serve as</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
the Vice Chair of the Town Council. I have since been appointed to a legislative</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
5G health study commission by our Governor where we evaluate the health</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
hazards of 5G.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I decided to run for the State Senate here in New Hampshire where I can be a</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
bigger, louder voice on the issues facing us regarding wireless radiation and the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
rollout of 5G.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I am just as committed to winning this race, as I was committed to winning my</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
race for Town Council, and committed to fighting that cell tower being built near</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
that school. I have the support of my party’s leadership, Senate leaders, and the</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
endorsement of our Governor. Now I need you!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I know I can win this seat, but I will need your help to do it. Campaigns are</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
expensive. I have a great team, and a great message, but I need the resources</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
to reach out to as many voters as possible and that is why I am asking for your</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
help today. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Would you consider making a donation to my campaign? Your</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
donation of $100, $250 or $500 will be critical in making sure I have the resources</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
to spread my message throughout my district.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I am asking for support from across the country from all of you so I can win this</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
seat and be a voice for all of us. We have all been working tirelessly for years on</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
these issues this is just another step in the right direction.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Thank you for your consideration.</div>

Best in health,</div>

We are deeply concerned about the recent email to parents promoting "Alexa Skills" as part of this year’s contest, United We Learn: Innovative Communication Challenge. The email we received states, "<i>Middle and high school students are challenged to conceptualize an <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/learn">Amazon Alexa Skill</a> (or series of Skills), which use voice to access and share information." </i><br />

Wireless virtual assistants/speakers emit radio frequency radiation, just like Wi-Fi laptops and wireless networks in schools. Most students are unaware that these speakers expose them to wireless radiation.<br />
<br />
Wireless is a new form of environmental pollution- radio frequency electromagnetic radiation. This radiation has been shown to be harmful in many many studies. It is NOT safe. <br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Worse all of these speakers have a fine print warning that states:<br />
<br />
“Information Regarding Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy…This device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body. The remote control meets the RF exposure requirement of low power devices under portable operation. Nevertheless, it is advised to use the Products in such a manner that mi<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wnRGRnboXBg" width="560"></ifra<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ene2YJg2qUI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i2dcZefK0Mc" width="560"></iframe>me>nimizes the potential for human contact during normal operation.” – <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202035440">Amazon Echo</a><br />

While I understand that many schools are putting new wireless systems in classrooms as an improvement, I have become aware there is an unintended result: Wi-Fi systems utilize microwave radio frequency radiation (RFR) electromagnetic (EMF) fields increasing. Many scientists are deeply concerned about the long-term effects of exposure to RFR. <br />
<br />
Thankfully, schools—in the United States and other countries are developing solutions for schools so that classrooms can have full Internet access but without the RFR exposures. I have put together this email with not only information on the scientific evidence on health effects but, more importantly, information on what schools can do to minimize any risks and still move forward into the 21st century with state of the art technology. I respect that monies have been spent on installing wireless systems and I am thankful that you are open to this discussion. <br />
<br />
Wi-Fi devices were never and are not currently pre-market tested for long-term safety. US regulations on wireless radiation exposure limits have not been updated during the past two decades and they were developed well before Wi-Fi was even invented. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) <a href="https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/AAP-Recommendations-Fact-Sheet-3.pdf">has</a> been long working on this as a children’s health issue and has repeatedly <a href="https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/American-Academy-of-Pediatrics-Letters-to-FCC-and-Congress-.pdf">advised</a> the US government to reassess regulations regarding human exposure to wireless radiation. The AAP states that children and pregnant women need more protections, and AAP points to research that indicates that children’s brains and bodies absorb proportionately more of this radiation due to their unique physiology. Children are at higher risk as their brain and immune system are still developing.<br />
<br />
The Oregon state law <a href="https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2019R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/SB283">SB 283</a> “A bill relating to exposure to radiation in schools in this state; and declaring an emergency” has tasked the Oregon Health Authority to review peer-reviewed, independently funded scientific studies of the health effects of exposure to microwave radiation with a focus on wireless networks in schools. <br />
<br />
The healthy solution is ethernet internet connections. Not only is it cheaper to go wired versus wireless, but ethernet is much more reliable and secure and will outperform Wi-Fi capabilities in:<br />
<ul>
<li>Data speed</li>
<li>Signal quality</li>
<li>Network expandability</li>
<li>Device adaptability</li>
</ul>
<br />
The health implications are significant. Please protect our children.<br />
<br />
Peer reviewed <a href="https://ehtrust.org/science/research-on-wireless-health-effects/">research</a> has demonstrated a myriad of adverse effects of EMF radiation including increased brain cancer, DNA breaks, oxidative stress and immune dysfunction, altered brain development, sleep changes, hyperactivity, and memory and cognitive problems.<br />
<br />
<br />
Due to these research findings, the <a href="https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/NR17-086.aspx">California Department of Health</a>, the <a href="http://www.portal.ct.gov/-/media/Departments-and-Agencies/DPH/dph/environmental_health/eoha/Toxicology_Risk_Assessment/050815CellPhonesFINALpdf.pdf?la=en">Connecticut Department of Health</a>, many international medical <a href="https://ehtrust.org/science/medical-doctors-consensus-statements-recommendations-cell-phoneswireless/">organizations</a> and more than 20 <a href="https://ehtrust.org/policy/international-policy-actions-on-wireless/">nations</a> are recommending RFR exposure reduction, especially for children. In 2015, an <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/298533689_International_Appeal_Scientists_call_for_protection_from_non-ionizing_electromagnetic_field_exposure">Appeal</a>, now with over 237 signatories, was launched by scientists from 41 countries who have peer reviewed publications on electromagnetic fields. The Appeal calls on the United Nations to reduce exposure and educate the public. <br />
<br />
Some examples of published scientific research include:<br />
<ul>
<li>A <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935118300355">review on Wi-Fi</a> published in Environmental Research concluded that, “Repeated Wi-Fi studies show that Wi-Fi causes oxidative stress, sperm/testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects including EEG changes, apoptosis, cellular DNA damage, endocrine changes, and calcium overload. Each of these effects are also caused by exposures to other microwave frequency EMFs, with each such effect being documented in from 10 to 16 reviews.” </li>
<li>A <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360132319305347">research review</a> published in a building industry journal concluded that “scientific evidence identifies adverse effects from RFR below regulatory limits” and recommended reducing wireless in buildings by installing corded internet networks instead of wireless. </li>
<li>The US National Toxicology Program $25 million <a href="https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/whatwestudy/topics/cellphones/index.html">animal study </a>on long-term exposure to radiofrequency EMF radiation found <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31633839">DNA Damage</a>,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtfXJFNOQFc&t=22s">heart damage</a>, increased brain tumors and increased heart tumors <a href="https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/whatwestudy/topics/cellphones/index.html">deemed </a>“clear evidence of cancer.” Importantly, this study was launched almost two decades ago by the FDA because the US government had not performed research on the long-term effects of RFR exposure and the FDA wanted data on long-term safety. The EPA was defunded from developing federal safety standards in 1996, and since then there has been no systematic review of the science by any US agency. </li>
<li>A 2017 study <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2017.00279/full">“Measurements of Radiofrequency Radiation with a body-borne exposimeter in Swedish schools with Wi-Fi</a>” concluded that, “The risk for cancer may be accentuated for children partly because of their likely longer life-time use of wireless devices, but also since their smaller size and thinner skull bone give higher RF radiation to the brain. Children are also growing and have more immature cells which can be more sensible to RF radiation.” This study also found higher RF levels when students streamed videos and the lowest RF levels in classrooms where teachers used corded technology. </li>
<li>Researchers with the renowned Ramazzini Institute in Italy published findings that lab animals exposed to environmental levels of RFR developed the same types of cancers as the <a href="https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/about/org/sep/trpanel/meetings/docs/2018/march/index.html">US National Toxicology Program</a> found in their large-scale lifetime animal <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935118300367?via%3Dihub">study</a>. The Ramazzini study used wireless levels lower than FCC limits. </li>
<li>In 2011 radiofrequency radiation was <a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(11)70147-4/fulltext?_eventId=login">classified </a>as a Class 2 B possible carcinogen by the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer WHO/IARC. Researchers state that the evidence has increased so significantly that if WHO/IARC were to now review the research, RF would have an upgraded classification as a Group 1A human carcinogen (<a href="https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2017/9218486/">Hardell and Carlberg 2017</a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29433020">Peleg et al., 2018</a>, <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935118303475">Miller et al 2018</a>). In fact, the WHO/IARC has <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(19)30246-3/fulltext">stated</a> they are going to gather scientists to review the research by 2024. </li>
<li> A medical research team at Yale, led by Dr. Hugh Taylor, Chief of Obstetrics at Yale Medicine, <a href="https://news.yale.edu/2012/03/15/cell-phone-use-pregnancy-may-cause-behavioral-disorders-offspring">found</a> radiofrequency radiation exposure led to higher hyperactivity, poorer memory, and altered brain function—corroborating prior published <a href="https://ehtrust.org/brain-development-cell-phones-wireless-scientific-research-neurotoxic-effects-wireless-radiation/">research</a> findings of altered brain development after exposure. These studies prompted the doctors and other experts to initiate an <a href="https://www.epa.gov/children/epa-office-childrens-health-protection-honors-2016-childrens-environmental-health">EPA recognized</a> educational campaign called <a href="https://www.babysafeproject.org/joint-statement.html">The BabySafe Project</a> urging pregnant women to reduce wireless exposure to minimize risks to their babies’ brain development. </li>
<li>A published literature <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26151230">review </a>found that the majority of research studies on the topic found exposure increased oxidative stress and free radicals—an effect known to lead to a myriad of chronic diseases.</li>
<li>Kaiser Permanente researchers have published several studies where pregnant women’s exposure to non ionizing electromagnetic fields was associated with increased <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11805581">miscarriage</a> as well as increased <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/srep00540">obesity</a> and <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/1107612">asthma </a>in the the prenatally exposed children. </li>
<li>Wireless radiation alters sleep patterns in replicated research in both animals and humans. For example, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195462/">an animal study found</a> an hour of exposure to RFR caused a one-hour delay for rats to drift into REM or deep sleep. Human <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20561179">studies</a> have found exposure <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8821374/">reduces</a> REM sleep, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22724534">alters</a> the EEG signal and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23482083?dopt=Abstract">results</a> in altered performance. </li>
<li>In response to this research, a growing number of <a href="https://ehtrust.org/schools-worldwide-removing-wifi-reducing-exposure/">public and private schools</a> are removing the wireless networks from schools, restricting cell phones in classrooms and implementing practical solutions. Examples of best practices schools are following include: </li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.uesf.org/">United Educators of San Francisco</a>(UESF), at a joint health committee with the San Francisco Unified School District, has approved going forward with a resolution for safer technology. The resolution became official as of May 23rd, 2018 and the <a href="http://www.uesf.org/san-francisco-educators-pass-resolution-calling-for-safer-technology-standards-for-all-san-francisco-schools/">“Resolution on Enhancing Technology Safety in San Francisco Unified School District”</a>and <a href="http://www.uesf.org/news/san-francisco-educators-pass-resolution-calling-for-safer-technology-standards-for-all-san-francisco-schools/">press release</a> be found on UESF website.</li>
<li>The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (the United States’ first green building rating program especially designed for K-12 schools) has developed <a href="https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/US-CHPS_Criteria_2014_Low-EMF-Criteria102314.pdf">Best Practices</a> for LOW EMF classrooms which includes using corded, not cordless phones, using ethernet connected, not wireless computers in the classroom. </li>
<li><a href="https://ehtrust.org/maryland-state-childrens-environmental-health-protection-advisory-council-recommendations-reduce-wi-fi/">The Maryland State Children’s Environmental Health and Protection Advisory Council</a>issued a report and recommendations to the Department of Education to recommend local school districts reduce classroom wireless radiation exposures by providing wired—rather than wireless—Internet connections. The MD report states that “WiFi can be turned off” and instead “a wired local area network (LAN) can provide a reliable and secure form of networking…without any microwave electromagnetic field exposure.” The report points out that construction and renovations can be a time to install wired connections. “If a new classroom is to be built, or electrical work is to be carried out in an existing classroom, network cables can be added at the same time, providing wired (not wireless) network access with minimal extra cost and time.” </li>
<li>The Chief Technology Officer of Montgomery County Maryland Schools (one of the top School Districts in the country) <a href="https://ehtrust.org/montgomery-county-maryland-public-schools-chief-technology-officer-shares-information-digital-device-safety/">shared </a>Maryland’s recommendations to all staff. Some children in Montgomery County Schools are given wired rather than wireless computers upon parent request. </li>
<li>Ashland, Massachusetts became the first US School District to institute “<a href="https://interferencetechnology.com/first-u-s-public-school-district-limits-wi-fi-radiation-exposure/">Best Practices</a>” posted in every classroom to “turn the Wi-Fi off when not in use and keep devices away from the body” (<a href="https://issuu.com/localtownpages/docs/2015_8_ashland/15?e=2040944/14450006&utm_source=October+13%2C+2015+general+newsletter&utm_campaign=Oct+13%2C+2015+general+newsletter&utm_medium=email">Magazine article on Ashland’s Decision Here</a>, <a href="http://ashland.wickedlocal.com/article/20150727/NEWS/150727029">Newspaper Coverage</a>.) Other public school districts are taking action, and two examples are the Onteora School District in New York State adopted “<a href="https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1534848213/onteorak12nyus/l70ek8bhrmryny4qm6lq/4-20-16_minutes.pdf">Best Practices with Wi-Fi</a>” and the Worcester, Massachusetts School Committee voted to approve <a href="http://wpsweb.com/sites/default/files/www/school_safety/radio_frequency.pdf">“Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure”</a>to be posted on the Worcester District Website. </li>
<li>“<a href="http://nebula.wsimg.com/97a5049859b9844dd48cb6fb8c35a9d9?AccessKeyId=045114F8E0676B9465FB&disposition=0&alloworigin=1">Guidelines for Safer Use of Wireless Technology in Classrooms</a>” were developed for the New York State Teachers’ Union who later hosted a webinar <a href="http://www.nysut.org/resources/all-listing/2014/december/webinar-risks-of-wireless-technologies">on the risks of wireless technologies</a>. </li>
<li>The New Jersey Education Association recently published an article entitled, <a href="https://www.njea.org/minimize-health-risks-from-electronic-devices/">“Minimize Health Risks from Wireless Devices”</a>and detailed several recommendations on reducing the health risks of technology: “Keep devices away from the body” and “hard wire all devices, including printers, projectors and boards.” (<a href="https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/New-Jersey-Educators-Minimize-Health-Risks-From-Radiation.pdf">PDF of recommendations) </a></li>
<li>The American Academy of Pediatrics is informing parents and the public about this issue in several ways. In addition to their <a href="https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/American-Academy-of-Pediatrics-Letters-to-FCC-and-Congress-.pdf">letters</a> to the US government, they have issued <a href="https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/all-around/Pages/Cell-Phone-Radiation-Childrens-Health.aspx">ten recommendations</a> on how to reduce RFR radiation exposure. They also have addressed health concerns related to cell towers and <a href="https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/all-around/Pages/Electromagnetic-Fields-A-Hazard-to-Your-Health.aspx">reference</a> a study that they say “confirmed concerns that living nearby mobile phone base stations increased the risk for developing headaches, memory problems, dizziness, depression, and sleep problems,” and concludes that “short-term exposure to these fields in experimental studies have not always shown negative effects, but this does not rule out cumulative damage from these fields, so larger studies over longer periods are needed to help understand who is at risk. In large studies, an association has been observed between symptoms and exposure to these fields in the everyday environment.” </li>
<li>Many countries and local governments have policies addressing wireless in the classroom:</li>
<li>France <a href="https://ehtrust.org/france-policy-recommendations-cell-phones-wireless-radiation-health/">has banned Wi-Fi in kindergarten and restricts</a> Wi-Fi in school by having the wireless off as the default setting and teachers have wired (not wireless) computers for Internet access. Schools are being hardwired, and in situations where wireless is needed it is only turned on for a short duration in the classroom as needed and turned off after use. France also has <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/education/article/2017/12/10/plus-de-telephones-portables-dans-les-ecoles-et-colleges-a-la-rentree-2018-annonce-le-ministre-de-l-education-nationale_5227485_1473685.html">banned</a> cell phones in elementary/middle schools and started educating the public years ago with public health <a href="http://www.lesondesmobiles.fr/index.html#rub6">initiatives</a> about how to reduce exposure. </li>
<li>Cyprus has <a href="https://ehtrust.org/cyprus-policy-recommendations-cell-phones-wireless-radiation-health/">removed Wi-Fi</a> from elementary classrooms and removed Wi-Fi from the pediatric units of the Archbishop Makarios hospital. The country also has a strong public awareness <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H43IKNjTvRM">campaign</a> educating <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H43IKNjTvRM&feature=youtu.be">parents</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5AwtCblb-k&t=2s">teenagers</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9WmfuvjPdY">pregnant women</a>. </li>
<li>Belgium has <a href="http://www.flanderstoday.eu/innovation/belgium-bans-sale-mobile-phones-designed-children">banned</a> cell phones manufactured for young children and also banned Wi-Fi in some classrooms. </li>
<li>Haifa, Israel has <a href="http://haifahaifa.co.il/%D7%94-wi-fi-%D7%91%D7%92%D7%A0%D7%99-%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%93%D7%99%D7%9D-%D7%95%D7%91%D7%AA%D7%99-%D7%94%D7%A1%D7%A4%D7%A8-%D7%91%D7%97%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%94-%D7%A0/">installed</a> corded connections in all schools, and the countries Israel and Germany officially <a href="https://ehtrust.org/israel-policy-recommendations-cell-phones-wireless-radiation-health/">recommend</a> wired connections in schools and reducing children’s exposure to RFR. </li>
<li>In 2015 the Queensland Department of Education issued “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150406062417/http://education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms/pdf/safe-use-technology-guide.pdf">Guide to Safe Technology”</a> in 2015 that states, “follow the manufacturer’s usage guideline, operate from a table or bench — not on your lap” and “use ‘hands-free’ devices to keep smart/mobile phones away from your head and body.” </li>
<li>The Child and Youth Service of the Department of Public Instruction of Geneva, Switzerland issued a <a href="https://ehtrust.org/letter-health-risks-digital-technology-issued-child-youth-health-service-geneva-switzerland/">letter </a> to be transmitted to all teachers about the health risks of digital technology, detailing how screens can affect sleep, eyesight, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, and recommends “Only switch your WLAN on when you need it. With laptops, in particular, it is a good idea to switch the WLAN off as otherwise the device will repeatedly try to connect to a network, leading to unnecessary radiation and a shorter battery life” and “Don’t hold your laptop close to your body while it is connected to a WLAN.”</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
Multiple industry <a href="https://ehtrust.org/key-issues/reports-white-papers-insurance-industry/">white papers</a> have deemed electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure as high-risk. EMFs are defined as a “pollutant” by insurance companies alongside smoke, chemicals and asbestos. Due to these evaluations, it is industry standard to have an “electromagnetic field exclusions” clause in insurance policies, such as exemplified by the <a href="https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/Portland-Public-School-2017-18-Excess-Liability0D0A-policy-1.pdf">Portland Oregon Public School</a> and <a href="https://www.calstatela.edu/sites/default/files/groups/Environmental%20Health%20and%20Safety/Riskmgmt/program_manual_univ_ins_prog_2014.pdf">California State University </a>insurance policies. If a school wants to obtain insurance coverage for EMFs, they may need to purchase additional “<a href="https://b-h-a.com/blog/the-gl-form-and-pollution-exclusions/">Pollution Liability</a>” policy enhancement coverage. In addition, some newer policies—such as this <a href="https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/Casualty_policy1.compressed.pdf">City of Ann Arbor Michigan Policy</a>—are not only excluding damages but also excluding paying for the defense of “any supervision, instruction, recommendation, warning or advice given or which should have been given” in connection to injury from electromagnetic field exposures. When parents query their schools on the insurance coverage for injury from the Wi-Fi systems and/or the cell towers on school property, they are usually told that there is not coverage.<br />

In fact, all wireless companies <a href="https://ehtrust.org/key-issues/corporate-company-investor-warnings-annual-reports-10k-filings-cell-phone-radiation-risks/">warn</a> their shareholders—in mandated annual 10k filings—that they may incur financial losses from lawsuits related to the electromagnetic radiation emissions of their products. For example, <br />
<br />
AT&T <a href="https://www.att.com/Investor/ATT_Annual/2016/downloads/att_ar2016_completeannualreport.pdf">states</a>, “We may incur significant expenses defending such suits or government charges and may be required to pay amounts or otherwise change our operations in ways that could materially adversely affect our operations or financial results.” Wireless companies have not been able to obtain insurance to cover this risk from their products, because no insurance company will cover the liability for them. As Crown Castle (a company building wireless infrastructure) states in their <a href="http://services.corporate-ir.net/SEC/Document.Service?id=P3VybD1hSFIwY0RvdkwyRndhUzUwWlc1cmQybDZZWEprTG1OdmJTOWtiM2R1Ykc5aFpDNXdhSEEvWVdOMGFXOXVQVkJFUmlacGNHRm5aVDB4TVRReE5EWTJOeVp6ZFdKemFXUTlOVGM9JnR5cGU9MiZmbj1Dcm93bkNhc3RsZV8xMEtfMjAxNzAyMjIucGRm">10K filings</a>, “If a connection between radio frequency emissions and possible negative health effects were established, our operations, costs, or revenues may be materially and adversely affected. We currently do not maintain any significant insurance with respect to these matters.” <br />
<br />
Internationally renowned doctors have written on this issue with recommendations to reduce exposure to Wi-Fi in schools. <a href="https://ehtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/Doctor-Letters-on-Wi-Fi-In-School-Full-Compilation.pdf">Please read their letters here</a>. The Santa Clara Medical Association published an article online, highlighting the health risks: <a href="https://issuu.com/18621/docs/bulletin_0415_web/17?e=8664035/12346964">“Wi-Fi in Schools”</a>. <br />

The reality is that in the United States, brain cancer rates are rising among children and teenagers. The US CDC presented <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/eis/downloads/eis-conference-2018-508.pdf#page=120">2018 research</a> that found brain, renal, hepatic, and thyroid cancers are increasing among individuals under 20 years old in the USA after analyzing 2001–2014 cancer statistics from 48 states covering 98% of the US population. <br />
<br />
We ask you to do two things:<br />
Hardwire all technology with cables and ethernet.<br />
Ban the use of cell phones and wireless in schools.<br />
Do not promote wireless anything.<br />
<br />

Dear MCPS Families,</div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; padding: 0px;">
Montgomery County Public Schools is launching the fourth year of its student contest, United We Learn. This year’s contest, <strong>United We Learn: Innovative Communication Challenge</strong>, encourages students to think about how communication affects their daily lives, and how technology can be used to enhance communication. </div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; padding: 0px;">
Open to all students, at all grade levels, the contest encourages students to think about innovative ways to share information of importance about the school district, address communication barriers, strengthen the home-school connection and positively impact the MCPS community. </div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; padding: 0px;">
Middle and high school students are challenged to conceptualize an <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/learn" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: #0096ef; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Amazon Alexa Skill</a> (or series of Skills), which use voice to access and share information. Selected proposals will move to development, where students will have the opportunity for hands-on learning. MCPS will publish the winning skill(s) and make it available for use.</div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; padding: 0px;">
Elementary school students are challenged to design a web page that shares important information about their school. The winning proposals will be developed into web pages by MCPS Web Services on the students’ elementary schools’ websites. Winners will have the opportunity to participate in the development process.</div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; padding: 0px;">
Contest rules and details are available on the MCPS website at <a href="https://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/events/unitedwelearn/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: #0096ef; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">mcpsunitedwelearn.org</a>.</div>

Owners of homes and businesses have no say about tower locations. These towers rise above the street lights and compete with the trees on our streets. Communities fortunate enough to have underground utilities will no longer be able to make that claim. Property values in all communities with such cell towers will be depreciated by them. And most important of all: The radiofrequency radiation from these 5G cell towers, delivered up close and personal to every resident 24 hours per day, will have a broad range of adverse health effects.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">If you want to understand the full impact of 5G, please read the first attached document entitled "International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space".

The paper also highlights research that has associated RF exposure with altered neurodevelopment and behavioural disorders, structural and functional changes in the brain and the sensitivity of pollinators. “These findings deserve urgent attention.This weight of scientific evidence refutes the prominent claim that the deployment of wireless technologies poses no health risks at the currently permitted non-thermal radiofrequency exposure levels.” (</span><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2542519618302213?via%3Dihub" style="color: red; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bandara and Carpenter 2018</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">)</span></span></div>

<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Street lights and utility poles will go up 6 to 15 feet higher. </li>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Maryland State Department Of Education (MSDE) has issued the first of its kind US state guidance for <a href="http://marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Pages/ITSLM/HealthSafetyBestPractices.aspx" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;">“Health and Safety Best Practice Guidelines: Digital Devices.”</a> However, health advocates who pushed Maryland to develop the guidelines </span><a href="https://www.myeasternshoremd.com/dorchester_star/news/msde-releases-digital-devices-safety-guidelines-receives-backlash/article_2aba12d3-810c-5dac-b939-be121af4f4ac.html" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">state </span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">the final product is “watered down” and lacks adequate protections as it does not educate on protecting from the physical health risks of blindness from the blue light and cancer/brain damage from everyday radiation emissions from “wireless” devices. The state guidance of </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">health and safety best practices for the use of digital devices in school classrooms </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">was created after the passage of </span><a href="http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/frmMain.aspx?id=hb1110&stab=01&pid=billpage&tab=subject3&ys=2018RS" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">House Bill 1110</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> and only addresses ergonomics and eye strain. </span></div>

“On the one hand, this is an incredible step forward because in many schools, kindergarteners are handed ipads and clearly this is against the state guidance. However on the other hand, the information omits the most serious health risks associated with digital devices- retinal damage and radiation exposure,” stated Theodora Scarato, Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust.</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Limit time on devices – a maximum of 10 to 20 minutes is recommended. Remind students to take eye and stretch breaks.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Students should be seated upright with “proper positioning” at a desk, lap desk, or table with screens approximately 20 inches from their eyes, knees at a right angle with feet on the floor.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">It is recommended that the use of digital devices with younger students be limited.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Share and model correct posture positions with students. </span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Encourage students to monitor their posture when using devices.</span></li>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Child health advocates want the guidance to be revised. “Why didn’t MDH take these issues seriously, research this professionally, and advise school boards, administrators, teachers and parents appropriately?” stated Cindy Eckard, who spearheaded the Bill in Annapolis and maintains a webpage </span><a href="http://www.screensandkids.us/" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">www.screensandkids.us</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">. </span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">“These guidelines also need to be strengthened to include the most serious health impacts of screens—damage to the retina from blue light and and effects from the wireless exposure. Why are these issues absent? The Maryland State Children’s Environmental Health and Protection Advisory Council (CEHPAC) issued first in the nation </span><a href="http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/first-state-in-the-nation-maryland-state-advisory-council-recommends-reducing-school-wireless-to-protect-children-777904.htm" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">recommendations</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> a few years ago for local school districts to reduce classroom wireless radiation exposures, and we certainly expected MSDE to incorporate their expertise. Yet they did not,” stated Theodora Scarato, Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust, who added that FCC wireless radiation limits are outdated and non-protective for children according to hundreds of scientists and a growing body of published research. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(58, 60, 65); color: #3a3c41; font-family: roboto; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Scarato also highlighted that the guidance references the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as an expert group but omits the AAPs recommendations to reduce cell phone wireless exposures. The AAP </span><a href="https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/all-around/Pages/Cell-Phone-Radiation-Childrens-Health.aspx" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">recommends</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">, “Avoid carrying your phone against the body like in a pocket, sock, or bra. Cell phone manufacturers can’t guarantee that the amount of radiation you’re absorbing will be at a safe level,” and “If you plan to watch a movie on your device, download it first, then switch to airplane mode while you watch in order to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure.”</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety of France (ANSES) issued a 2019 </span><a href="https://ehtrust.org/blue-light-from-screens-is-toxic-to-eyes-warns-french-health-agency/" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">report</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> confirming the toxic effects of blue light on the eyes and identified children as a susceptible population. “The amount of light received by the retina in the blue band can be large and have phototoxic effects on the eye and a disruptive effect on biological rhythms,” reads the </span><a href="https://www.anses.fr/en/system/files/PRES2019DPA01EN.pdf" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">2019 ANSES Report.</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> However the MSDE guidance omits this information and offers no protections in regards to blue light from screens used in schools. </span></div>

This reduces the strength of Wi-Fi radiation in the classroom.” The MD video about eye health </span><a href="http://marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Documents/ITSLM/Health_and_Safety_Blue-Light.pdf" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">states</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">, “It’s also important to use the 20/20/20 rule. So every 20 minutes, you’re going to look away from your monitor and look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. And encourage frequent blinking so that the eyes can stay moist and have a chance to have a visual break from their work.” </span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">“The Department of Education has repeatedly told parents to follow the guidance of CEHPAC who clearly recommends reducing wireless exposure to children,” stated Scarato, who pointed out that, in 2014, </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, then Secretary of the Maryland Department of Health,</span><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_kxgDa6MzAcWFFabkZkNW5FWlU/view?usp=sharing" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">wrote a letter</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">that stated, “It is fair to say there are legitimate questions about the long term health implications of microwave radiation” and the Department of Health “would be interested in the advice and counsel of groups such as the Children’s Environmental Health and Protection Advisory Council.” MSDE also wrote </span><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_kxgDa6MzAcWDNQQ2tURGZkcTg/view" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">a letter</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> confirming that CEHPAC could provide guidance as they had the expertise in this area. “MSDE should be sharing the guidance to reduce wireless exposure from the state’s expert group they themselves have long recommended.”</span></div>

There are several research studies done on W-Fi specifically that have found adverse effects. See the list of peer reviewed published research below. A 2017 study <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2017.00279/full" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;">“Measurements of Radiofrequency Radiation with a body-borne exposimeter in Swedish schools with Wi-Fi</a>” concluded that, “The risk for cancer may be accentuated for children partly because of their likely longer life-time use of wireless devices, but also since their smaller size and thinner skull bone give higher RF radiation to the brain. Children are also growing and have more immature cells which can be more sensible to RF radiation.” (This study also found higher RF levels when students streamed videos.)</div>

Importantly, all wireless frequencies currently used by the public are categorized as radiofrequency radiation. People have not been using Wi-Fi for as long as they have been using cell phones, so the research on humans that has looked at long term use of cell phones is very important in considering the long term health risks from wireless <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">and Wi-Fi specifically.</em></div>

Cell phone frequencies commonly start at 900 MHz (with some cell phones having up to 7 antennas all at different frequencies) and Wi-Fi device frequencies are at 2.45 GHz and 5GHz.</div>

Many scientists now conclude that the scientific evidence is substantial enough to conclude that radiofrequency radiation (including radiation from cell phones, Wi-Fi and other wireless devices) is a human carcinogen (<a href="https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2017/9218486/" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hardell and Carlberg 2017</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">, </span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29433020" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Peleg et al., 2018</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">, </span><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935118303475" style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #16a5d9; text-decoration: none; transition: all 400ms ease;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Miller et al 2018</span></a>).</div>

While cell phones localize the highest microwave exposure to the brain, Wi-Fi exposures are often localized to the abdomen, leg and chest area. However this is not always the case as some people sleep in rooms with Wi-Fi baby monitors, Wi-Fi routers or Wi-Fi gaming devices near their pillow. Wi-Fi printers may be in offices next to a person’s desk and most people are unaware that they transmit continuously. All in all, for some people- especially children- the Wi-Fi exposure is quite significant to overall cumulative exposure.</div>

Wi-Fi devices emit continuous radiation bursts, just like cell phones, as they always stay in contact with their router or base station. The Wi-Fi radiation patterns can be quite erratic when the device is in use and this can further impact biological effects.</div>

Abstract</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Long term exposure of electromagnetic radiations (EMR) from cell phones and Wi-Fi hold greater propensity to cause anxiety disorders. However, the studies investigating the effects of chronic exposure of EMR are limited. Therefore, we investigated the effects of repeated exposure of discrete frequency of EMR in experimental animals. Male rats were exposed to EMR (900, 1800 and 2450 MHz) for 28 (1 h/day) days. Long term exposure of EMR (2450 MHz) induced anxiety like behavior. It deregulated the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis in rats as observed by increase in plasma corticosterone levels apart from decreased corticotrophin releasing hormone-2 (CRH-2) and Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in amygdala. Further, it impaired mitochondrial function and integrity. The expression of Bcl2 showed significant decrease while Bax and ratio of Bax: Bcl2 were increased in the mitochondria and vice versa in cytoplasm indicating altered regulation of apoptosis. EMR exposure caused release of cytochrome-c and expression of caspase-9 ensuing activation of apoptotic cell death. Additional set of experiments performed to estimate the pattern of cell death showed necrotic and apoptotic amygdalar cell death after EMR exposure. Histopathological studies also revealed a significant decrease in neuronal cells in amygdala. The above findings indicate that long-term exposure of EMR radiation (2450 MHz) acts as a stressor and induces anxiety-like behaviors with concomitant pathophysiological changes in EMR subjected rats.</div>

This study elucidates the effect of short (15 days) and long-term (30 and 60 days) low level 2.45 GHz MW radiation induced local stress on the hippocampal spatial memory formation pathway in adult male mice. Researchers observed that 2.45 GHz MW irradiated mice showed slow learning and significantly increased number of working and reference memory errors in RAM task. Further, 2.45 GHz MW radiation exposure increases serum corticosterone level and the expression of CRH, CRH-R1 and i-NOS, while the expression of iGluRs, n-NOS, PSD-95, PKCε, PKA, ERK-p-ERK, CREB and p-CREB decreases in above mentioned hippocampal subregions in a duration dependent manner. “Our findings led us to conclude that 2.45 GHz MW radiation exposure induced local stress suppresses signaling mechanism(s) of hippocampal memory formation.”</div>

This study aimed to investigate the effect of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radiation (12 h/day for 30 days) on multisensory integration in male rats. Results demonstrated that rats in Wi-Fi exposure groups could not discriminate significantly between the novel and familiar objects in any of the standard SOR, tactile SOR, visual SOR, and CMOR tests and the expression of M1 receptors increased following Wi-Fi exposure. In conclusion, results of this study showed that chronic exposure to Wi-Fi electromagnetic waves might impair both unimodal and cross-modal encoding of information.</div>

The purpose of this study was to reveal whether long term exposure (over a year) of 2.4GHz frequency RF radiation will cause DNA damage of different tissues such as brain, kidney, liver, and skin tissue and testicular tissues of rats. Based on the DNA damage results determined by the single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) method, it was found that the % tail DNA values of the brain, kidney, liver, and skin tissues of the rats in the experimental group increased more than those in the control group. The increase of the DNA damage in all tissues was not significant (p>0.05), however the increase of the DNA damage in rat testes tissue was significant (p<0.01). In conclusion, long-term exposure to 2.4GHz RF radiation (Wi-Fi) does not cause DNA damage of the organs investigated in this study except testes indicating that testes are more sensitive organ to RF radiation.</div>

The aim of the present study was to investigate oxidative stress and apoptosis in kidney tissues of male Wistar rats that pre- and postnatally exposed to 2.45 GHz wireless electromagnetic field (EMF) for 1 h/day until puberty. Based on this study, it is thought that chronic pre- and post-natal period exposure to wireless internet frequency of EMF may cause chronic kidney damages; staying away from EMF source in especially pregnancy and early childhood period may reduce negative effects of exposure on kidney.</div>

An excessive production of reactive oxygen substances (ROS) and reduced antioxidant defence systems resulting from electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure may lead to oxidative brain and liver damage and degradation of membranes during pregnancy and development of rat pups. In the EMR groups, lipid peroxidation levels in the brain and liver were increased following EMR exposure; however, the glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, and vitamin A, vitamin E and β-carotene concentrations were decreased in the brain and liver. Glutathione (GSH) and vitamin C concentrations in the brain were also lower in the EMR groups than in the controls; however, their concentrations did not change in the liver. In conclusion, Wi-Fi-induced oxidative stress in the brain and liver of developing rats was the result of reduced GSH-Px, GSH and antioxidant vitamin concentrations. Moreover, the brain seemed to be more sensitive to oxidative injury compared to the liver in the development of newborns.</div>

The present study determined the effects of prenatal and postnatal exposure to 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi-induced electromagnetic radiation (2h/day for 21 days during pregnancy and 21 days during lactation) on tooth and surrounding tissue development as well as the element levels in growing rats. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations between the experimental and control groups showed that exposure to 2.45 GHz EMR for 2 h per day does not interfere with the development of teeth and surrounding tissues. However, there were alterations in the elemental composition of the teeth, especially affecting such oxidative stress-related elements as copper, zinc, and iron, suggesting that short-term exposure to Wi-Fi-induced EMR may cause an imbalance in the oxidative stress condition in the teeth of growing rats.</div>

We aimed to investigate the effects of distance from sources on calcium signaling, cytosolic ROS production, cell viability, apoptosis, plus caspase-3 and -9 values induced by mobile phones and Wi-Fi in breast cancer cells. The cytosolic ROS production, Ca2+ concentrations, apoptosis, caspase-3 and caspase-9 values were higher in groups exposed to 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2450 MHz compared to controls at 0 cm, 1 cm and 5 cm distances although cell viability (MTT) values were increased by the distances. There was no statistically significant difference in the values between control, 20 and 25 cm. Wi-Fi and mobile phone EMR placed within 10 cm of the cells induced excessive oxidative responses and apoptosis via TRPV1-induced cytosolic Ca2+ accumulation in the cancer cells. Using cell phones and Wi-Fi sources which are farther away than 10 cm may provide useful protection against oxidative stress, apoptosis and overload of intracellular Ca2+.</div>

The aim of this study was to investigate long-term effects of 2.4 GHz radiofrequency radiation (24 h/day for 1 year) emitted from a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) system on the testes of male rats. Results showed that sperm head defects increased in the exposure group (p < 0.05) while weight of the epididymis and seminal vesicles, seminiferous tubules diameter and tunica albuginea thickness were decreased in the exposure group (p < 0.01, p < 0.001, p < 0.0001). However, other alterations of other parameters were not found significant (p > 0.05). We suggest Wi-Fi users to avoid long-term exposure of RF emissions from Wi-Fi equipment.</div>

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of 2.4 GHz radiofrequency radiation (24h/day for 12 months) emitted from a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) system on some of the miRNA in brain tissue in male rats. The results revealed that long-term exposure of RFR radiation can alter expression of some of the miRNAs, indicating that this type of exposure may lead to adverse effects such as neurodegenerative diseases originated from the alteration of some miRNA expression and more studies should be devoted to the effects of RF radiation on miRNA expression levels.</div>

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic low-intensity microwave exposure (900, 1800 or 2450 MHz for 180 days) on cognitive function, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and DNA damage in the rat brain. The results showed declined cognitive function, elevated HSP70 level, and DNA damage in the brain of microwave-exposed animals. The results indicated that, chronic low-intensity microwave exposure in the frequency range of 900 to 2450 MHz may cause hazardous effects on the brain.</div>

The present study was undertaken to determine the influence of low intensity microwave radiation (900, 1800, or 2450 MHz for 2h/day, 5days/week, for 60 days) on oxidative stress, inflammatory response and DNA damage in rat brain. Low intensity microwave exposure resulted in a frequency dependent significant increase in oxidative stress markers, reduced levels of GSH and SOD, increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and significant DNA damage in microwave exposed groups compared to controls. In conclusion, the present study suggests that low intensity microwave radiation induces oxidative stress, inflammatory response and DNA damage in brain by exerting a frequency dependent effect. The study also indicates that increased oxidative stress and inflammatory response might be the factors involved in DNA damage following low intensity microwave exposure.</div>

Non-ionizing radiation at 2.45 GHz may modify the morphology and expression of genes that codify heat shock proteins (HSP) in the thyroid gland. The present study used a diathermy model – the therapeutic application of non-ionizing radiation – on laboratory rats subjected to maximum exposure non-ionizing radiation (30 min, 10 times in two weeks) in the left front leg, in order to study the effects of radiation on the nearby thyroid tissue.Ninety minutes after radiation with the highest SAR, the central and peripheral follicles presented increased size and the thickness of the peripheral septa had decreased. Twenty-four hours after radiation, only peripheral follicles radiated at 12 W were found to be smaller. Morphological changes in the thyroid tissue may indicate a glandular response to acute or repeated stress from radiation in the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.</div>

This study analyzed cellular stress levels in rat thymus after exposure to a 2.45 GHz radio frequency (RF) using an experimental diathermic model in a Gigahertz Transverse Electromagnetic (GTEM) chamber. The thymus tissue presented several morphological changes, including increased distribution of blood vessels along with the appearance of red blood cells and hemorrhagic reticuloepithelial cells, while the glucocorticoid receptors presented greater immunomarking on the thymic cortex in exposed animals. These results indicate that non-ionizing sub-thermal radiation causes changes in the endothelial permeability and vascularization of the thymus, and is a tissue-modulating agent for Hsp90 and GR.</div>

Electrocardiogram and arterial pressure measurements were studied under acute exposures to WIFI (2.45GHz) during one hour in adult male rabbits. Acute exposure of rabbits to WIFI increased heart frequency (+22%) and arterial blood pressure (+14%). Moreover, analysis of ECG revealed that WIFI induced a combined increase of PR and QT intervals, but failed to alter maximum amplitude and P waves. After intravenously injection of dopamine (0.50ml/kg) and epinephrine (0.50ml/kg) under acute exposure to RF we found that, WIFI alter catecholamines (dopamine, epinephrine) action on heart variability and blood pressure compared to control. These results suggest for the first time, as far as we know, that exposure to WIFI affect heart rhythm, blood pressure, and catecholamines efficacy on cardiovascular system; indicating that radiofrequency can act directly and/or indirectly on cardiovascular system.</div>

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of prenatal and postnatal 2450 MHz electromagnetic field exposure (1hy/day from intrauterine or postnatal period) on the growth and development of female Wistar rats. Birth masses of the groups were similar (p > 0.05), however mass gain per day was significantly lower and the puberty was significantly later in the prenatal group. Brain and ovary TOS and OSI values in the prenatal group were significantly increased (p < 0.05) compared to the control group and serum LH levels of the prenatal and postnatal groups were increased, although serum FSH, and E2 values did not differ among the groups (p > 0.05). Histological examinations of the specimens revealed no statistically significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). Exposure to 2450 MHz EMF, particularly in the prenatal period, resulted in postnatal growth restriction and delayed puberty in female Wistar rats. Increased TOS and OSI values in the brain and ovary tissues can be interpreted as a sign of chronic stress induced by EMF.</div>

This study investigated if supplemental selenium (Se) and L-carnitine may reduce the adverse effect 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation can have on testicular apoptosis using rats as a study animal. Electromagnetic radiation exposure resulted in testicular apoptosis in rats, mainly by the intrinsic pathways by down-regulated expression of caspase-8. Reduction in the activation of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis was found higher with selenium administration compared with L-carnitine administration.</div>

The aim of this study was to investigate electromagnetic radiation (EMR) transmitted by wireless devices (2.45 GHz, 3h/day for 30 days), which may cause physiopathological or ultrastructural changes, in the testes of rats and address if the supplemental gallic acid (GA) may reduce these adverse effects. EMR only group was shown to have higher oxidative stress, decreased testosterone and VEGF levels, increased prostaglandin E2 and CGRP, as well as decreased numbers of spermatozoa. Long term EMR exposure resulted in testicular physiopathology via oxidative damage and inflammation. GA may have ameliorative effects on the prepubertal rat testes physiopathology.</div>

This study was performed to understand the effect of short (15 days) and long-term (30 and 60 days) low-level 2.45 GHz MW radiation exposure on hippocampus with special reference to spatial learning and memory and its underlying mechanism in Swiss strain male mice, Mus musculus. We observed that, short-term as well as long-term 2.45 GHz MW radiation exposure increases the oxidative/nitrosative stress leading to enhanced apoptosis in hippocampal subfield neuronal and nonneuronal cells. Present findings also suggest that learning and spatial memory deficit which increases with the increased duration of MW exposure (15 < 30 < 60 days) is correlated with a decrease in hippocampal subfield neuronal arborization and dendritic spines. These findings led us to conclude that exposure to CW MW radiation leads to oxidative/nitrosative stress induced p53-dependent/independent activation of hippocampal neuronal and nonneuronal apoptosis associated with spatial memory loss.</div>

This study aimed to investigate the major cause of male infertility during short- (1h/day for 2 months) and long-term (7h/day for 2 months) exposure of 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi radiation. Both 1-hour and 7-hour groups showed a decrease in sperm parameters in a time dependent pattern and the number of apoptosis-positive cells and caspase-3 activity increased in the seminiferous tubules of exposed rats. The seminal vesicle weight reduced significantly in both1-hour or 7-hour groups in comparison to the control group. Researchers concluded that there should be a major concern regarding the time dependent exposure of whole-body to the higher frequencies of Wi-Fi networks existing in the vicinity of our living places.</div>

Although EMR exposure decreased the prolactin, estrogen, and progesterone levels in the plasma of maternal rats and their offspring, EMR-induced oxidative stress in the uteri of maternal rats increased during the development of offspring. Mobile phone- and Wi-Fi-induced EMR may be one cause of increased oxidative uterine injury in growing rats and decreased hormone levels in maternal rats.</div>

The present study tested the effects of Wi-Fi (2.45 GHz for 1h) exposure on Ca(2+) influx, oxidative stress and apoptosis through TRPV1 channel in the murine dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and hippocampus of pentylentetrazol (PTZ)-induced epileptic rats. The cytosolic free Ca(2+), reactive oxygen species production, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, caspase-3 and -9 values in hippocampus were higher in the PTZ group than in the control although cell viability values decreased. The Wi-Fi exposure induced additional effects on the cytosolic Ca(2+) increase. However, pretreatment of the neurons with CPZ, results in a protection against epilepsy-induced Ca(2+) influx, apoptosis and oxidative damages. In conclusion, epilepsy and Wi-Fi in our experimental model is involved in Ca(2+) influx and oxidative stress-induced hippocampal and DRG death through activation of TRPV1 channels, and negative modulation of this channel activity by CPZ pretreatment may account for the neuroprotective activity against oxidative stress.</div>

The Purpose Of This Study Was To Investigate The Oxidative Damage And Protective Effect Of Garlic (Daily 500 Mg/Kg During Study Period) On Rats Exposed To Low Level Of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) At 2.45 GHz Microwave Radiation (MWR) For 1 H/Day For 30 Consecutive Days. Researchers Concluded That Low Level EMF At 2.45 GHz MWR Increases The DNA Damage In Both Brain Tissues And Plasma Of The Rats Whereas It Increases Protein Oxidation Only In Plasma. They Also Be Argued That The Use Of Garlic Decreases These Effects.</h4>

This study used Drosophila as model organisms to assess the effects of various EMF sources (short time daily for 3-7 days) on apoptotic cell death of follicles during oogenesis and reproductive capacity (fecundity) decline. Sources included: 900/1800 MHz mobile phone, 1880-1900 MHz wireless base, wireless handset, mobile phone-handset combination, 2.44 GHz wireless network (Wi-Fi), 2.44 GHz bluetooth, 92.8 MHz FM generator, 27.15 MHz baby monitor, 900 MHz CW RF generator and microwave oven’s 2.44 GHz RF and magnetic field components. All EMF sources used created statistically significant effects regarding fecundity and cell death-apoptosis induction, even at very low intensity levels well below ICNIRP’s guidelines, suggesting that Drosophila oogenesis system is suitable to be used as a biomarker for exploring potential EMF bioactivity.</div>

The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of melatonin against oxidative stress-mediated testicular impairment due to long-term exposure (2 h/day for 45 days) of 2.45 GHz Microwave Radiation. Result shows that melatonin prevented oxidative damage biochemically by significant increase (p < 0.001) in the levels of testicular LDH-X, decreased (p < 0.001) levels of MDA and ROS in testis (p < 0.01). Meanwhile, it reversed the effects of MWs on XO, protein carbonyl content, sperm count, testosterone level and DNA fragmentation in testicular cells. These results concluded that the melatonin has strong antioxidative potential against MW induced oxidative stress mediated DNA damage in testicular cells.</div>

The present study was designed to determine the possible protective effects of melatonin on oxidative stress-dependent testis injury induced by 2.45-GHz electromagnetic radiation exposure (60 min/day for 30 days). Lipid peroxidation levels were shown to be higher in melatonin-supplemented group compared to EMR only and controls, as well as reduced glutathione and glutathione peroxidase levels. Vitamin A and E concentrations decreased in exposure group, and melatonin prevented the decrease in vitamin E levels. In conclusion, wireless (2.45 GHz) EMR caused oxidative damage in testis by increasing the levels of lipid peroxidation and decreasing in vitamin A and E levels. Melatonin supplementation prevented oxidative damage induced by EMR and also supported the antioxidant redox system in the testis.</div>

This study investigated the effect of 2GHz EMR (1h) on the growth dynamics of Myriophyllum aquaticum (Parrot feather) by measuring the nanometric elongation rate fluctuation (NERF) using a statistical interferometry technique. After continuous exposure to EMR, M. aquaticum plants exhibited a statistically significant reduction in NERF standard deviation, therefore, the reduced NERF was due to a non-thermal effect caused by EMR exposure. The alteration in NERF continued for at least 2.5 h after EMR exposure and no significant recovery was found in post-EMR NERF during the experimental period.</div>

This study investigated the long-term effects of low-level 2.45GHz MW irradiation (2h/day for 30 days) on the reproductive function of male mice and its mechanism of action. Researchers observed that MW irradiation induced a significant decrease in sperm count and sperm viability along with the decrease in seminiferous tubule diameter, degeneration of seminiferous tubules, reduction in testicular 3β HSD activity and reduction in plasma testosterone levels. Increased expression of testicular i-NOS was observed in the MW-irradiated group of mice. These adverse reproductive effects suggest that chronic exposure to nonionizing MW radiation may lead to infertility via free radical species-mediated pathway.</div>

Here we studied the influence of microwave irradiation at bands corresponding to wireless router (WLAN) and mobile devices (GSM) on leaf anatomy, essential oil content and volatile emissions in Petroselinum crispum, Apium graveolens and Anethum graveolens. Microwave irradiation resulted in thinner cell walls, smaller chloroplasts and mitochondria, and enhanced emissions of volatile compounds, in particular, monoterpenes and green leaf volatiles. There was a direct relationship between microwave-induced structural and chemical modifications of the three plant species studied. These data collectively demonstrate that human-generated microwave pollution can potentially constitute a stress to the plants.</div>

Results showed poor oxidative toxic effects of one hour of Wi-Fi exposure on the lens in the animals. However, melatonin supplementation in the lens seems to have protective effects on the oxidant system by modulation of GSH-Px activity.</div>

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective role of melatonin on oxidative stress induced by Wi-Fi (2.45 GHz, 60min/day for 28 days) EMR in laryngotracheal mucosa of rat. In comparison to control and sham groups, RFR-exposed animals had higher lipid peroxidation levels and lower glutathione peroxidase levels, while the RFR-exposed animals treated with melatonin had significantly lower lipid peroxidation levels and increased glutathione peroxidase activity compared with controls. Results show that there is an apparent protective effect of melatonin on the Wi-Fi-induced oxidative stress in the laryngotracheal mucosa of rats by inhibition of free radical formation and support of the glutathione peroxidase antioxidant system.</div>

The aim of this study was to determine the structural changes in the frontal cortex, brainstem and cerebellum in the male rat brain due to electromagnetic wave exposure (900, 1800, 2450 MHz, 1h/day for 2 months). While the histopathological changes in the frontal cortex and brainstem were normal in the control group, there were severe degenerative changes, shrunken cytoplasm and extensively dark pyknotic nuclei in the EMR groups. Biochemical analysis demonstrated that the Total Antioxidative Capacity level was significantly decreased in the EMR groups and also Total Oxidative Capacity and Oxidative Stress Index levels were significantly increased in the frontal cortex, brainstem and cerebellum. Researchers concluded that EMR causes structural changes in the frontal cortex, brainstem and cerebellum and impairs the oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine system. This deterioration can cause to disease including loss of these areas function and cancer development.</div>

In conclusion, Wi-Fi- and mobile phone-induced EMR caused oxidative damage by increasing the extent of lipid peroxidation and the iron level, while decreasing total antioxidant status, copper, and GSH values. Wi-Fi- and mobile phone-induced EMR may cause precocious puberty and oxidative kidney and testis injury in growing rats.</div>

We investigated the effect of olive leaves extract administration on glucose metabolism and oxidative response in liver and kidneys of rats exposed to 2.45 GHz radiofrequency radiation (1h/day for 21 days). This exposure was shown to induce a diabetes-like status and also decreased the activities of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and groups thiol amount in liver and kidneys. Olive leaves extract administration (100 mg/kg, ip) in RF-exposed rats prevented glucose metabolism disruption and restored the activities of GPx, CAT and SOD and thiol group amount in liver and kidneys and was able to bring down the elevated levels of MDA in liver but not in kidneys. Our investigations suggested that RF exposure induced a diabetes-like status through alteration of oxidative response, while olive leaves extract was able to correct glucose metabolism disorder by minimizing oxidative stress induced by RF in rat tissues.</div>

The present experiment was designed to study the 2.45 GHz low-level microwave irradiation-induced stress response (continuous wave exposure for 2h/day for 45 days) and its effect on implantation or pregnancy in female mice. Researchers observed that implantation sites were affected significantly in MW-irradiated mice as compared to control and in addition to a significant increase in ROS, hemoglobin, RBC and WBC counts, N/L ratio, DNA damage in brain cells, and plasma estradiol concentration, a significant decrease was observed in NO level and antioxidant enzyme activities of MW-exposed mice. Our findings led us to conclude that a low level of MW irradiation-induced oxidative stress not only suppresses implantation, but it may also lead to deformity of the embryo in case pregnancy continues. We also suggest that MW radiation-induced oxidative stress by increasing ROS production in the body may lead to DNA strand breakage in the brain cells and implantation failure/resorption or abnormal pregnancy in mice.</div>

There was no statistically significant difference in mean corneal thicknesses between the groups (p > 0.05), however there were statistically differences between the groups with regard to the thickness of anterior epithelium (p < 0.05). Results of this preliminary study show that exposure to MW radiation might cause alterations in the rat cornea.</div>

The objective of this study was to investigate effects of 2.437 GHz radiofrequency radiation (24h/day for 20 weeks) emitted from indoor Wi-Fi Internet access devices on rat testes using histological and immunohistochemical methods. Researchers observed significant increases in serum 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine levels and 8-hydroxyguanosine staining in the testes of the experimental group indicating DNA damage due to exposure (p < 0.05) as well as decreased levels of catalase and glutathione peroxidase activity in the experimental group, which may have been due to radiofrequency effects on enzyme activity (p < 0.05).

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 2.45-GHz electromagnetic radiation (60min/day for 4 weeks) on the oxidant and antioxidant status of skin and to examine the possible protective effects of β-glucans (50 mg/kg/day before each EMR exposure) against the oxidative injury in male rats. EMR exposure caused a significant increase in malondialdehyde levels and catalase activity, while the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase decreased in skin tissues. Systemic β-glucan significantly reversed the elevation of MDA levels and the reduction of SOD activities. β-glucan treatment also slightly enhanced the activity of CAT and prevented the depletion of GSH-Px activity caused by EMR, but not statistically significantly.

This study investigated the effect of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (2 h/day for 45 days) on biomarkers within Wistar rats. A significant decrease (P < 0.05) was recorded in the level of pineal melatonin of exposed group as compared with sham exposed, while a significant increase (P < 0.05) in creatine kinase, caspase 3, and calcium ion concentration was observed in whole brain of exposed group of animals as compared to sham exposed. The study concludes that a reduction in melatonin or an increase in caspase-3, creatine kinase, and calcium ion may cause significant damage in brain due to chronic exposure of these radiations. These biomarkers clearly indicate possible health implications of such exposures.</div>

This study examined the possible ability of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation exposure (30 min) to modify the expression of genes that codify heat shock proteins (HSP) in the thyroid gland. Ninety minutes after radiation, HSP-90 and HSP-70 had decreased significantly (P<0.01); Twenty-four hours after radiation, HSP-90 had partially recovered and HSP-70 had recovered completely. There were few indications of lesions in the glandular structure and signs of apoptosis were negative in all radiated animals. The results suggest that acute sub-thermal radiation at 2.45 GHz may alter levels of cellular stress in rat thyroid gland without initially altering their anti-apoptotic capacity.</div>

The present study was designed to determine the effects of 2.45 GHz radiation (1, 2, 12, or 24 hours) on the antioxidant redox system, calcium ion signaling, cell count and viability in human leukemia 60 cells.The extent of lipid peroxidation, cytosolic free Ca²⁺ and cell numbers were higher in 2.45 GHz groups than in the controls and was time-dependent. 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation appears to induce proliferative effects through oxidative stress and Ca²⁺ influx although blocking of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 channels by 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate seems to counteract the effects on Ca²⁺ ions influx.</div>

We aimed to investigate the protective effects of melatonin and 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation (60 min/day for 30 days) on brain and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron antioxidant redox system, Ca(2+) influx, cell viability and electroencephalography (EEG) records in the rat. Lipid peroxidation (LP), cell viability and cytosolic Ca(2+) values in DRG neurons were higher in EMR-exposed groups than in controls, although their concentrations were increased by melatonin, 2-aminoethyldiphenyl borinate (2-APB), diltiazem and verapamil supplementation. Lower numbers of EEG spikes were recorded in EMR+melatonin groups than in EMR only, while brain cortex vitamin E concentrations were higher in the melatonin-supplemented group. In conclusion, Melatonin supplementation in DRG neurons and brain seems to have protective effects on the 2.45 GHz-induced increase Ca(2+) influx, EEG records and cell viability of the hormone through TRPM2 and voltage gated Ca(2+) channels.</div>

The present study examined the biological effects of continuous wave 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (2h/day for 30 days) in Parkes strain mice. The results show that microwave radiation caused an increase in erythrocyte and leukocyte counts, a significant DNA strand break in brain cells and the loss of spatial memory in mice. This report for the first time provides experimental evidence that continuous exposure to low intensity microwave radiation may have an adverse effect on the brain function by altering circadian system and rate of DNA damage.</div>

This study investigated the effects of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (exposed once or repeatedly – ten times in two weeks) on the cellular activation within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, extracted from rat brains. High SAR triggered an increase of the c-Fos marker 90 min or 24 h after radiation, and low SAR resulted in c-Fos counts higher than in control rats after 24 h. Repeated irradiation at 3 W increased cellular activation of PVN by more than 100% compared to animals subjected to acute irradiation and to repeated non-radiated repeated session control animals. The results suggest that PVN is sensitive to 2.45 GHz microwave radiation at non-thermal SAR levels.</div>

This finding emphasizes that reactive oxygen species (a potential inducer of cancer) are the primary cause of DNA damage. However, pulsed electromagnetic field exposure relieves the effect of microwave exposure by inducing Faraday currents.</div>

The present study focused on the possible gender-related effects of Wi-Fi electromagnetic fields on these processes in human males and females. P300 amplitude values at 18 electrodes were found to be significantly lower in the response inhibition condition than in the response initiation and baseline conditions and independent of this effect, within the response inhibition condition there was also a significant gender X radiation interaction effect of males in comparison to female subjects only at the presence of EMF. In conclusion, the present findings suggest that Wi-Fi exposure may exert gender-related alterations on neural activity associated with the amount of attentional resources engaged during a linguistic test adjusted to induce WM.</div>

This paper presents the results of a replication study performed to investigate earlier Soviet studies conducted between 1974 and 1991 that showed immunological and reproductive effects of long-term low-level exposure of rats to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (continuous wave 2450 MHz for 7h/day, 5days/week for 30 days). The RF exposure resulted in minor increases in formation of antibodies in brain tissue extract and the exposure did not appear to be pathological. In addition, a study was conducted to replicate a previous Soviet study on effects from the injection of blood serum from RF-exposed rats on pregnancy and foetal and offspring development of rats, using a similar animal model and protocol. Our results showed the same general trends as the earlier study, suggesting possible adverse effects of the blood serum from exposed rats on pregnancy and foetal development of intact rats, however, application of these results in developing exposure standards is limited.</div>

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (2 h/day for 35 days) on the male rat brain. MWR-exposed rats showed significantly increased comet head, tail length and tail movement, as well as decrease of antioxidant enzymes. Researchers conclude that the chronic exposure to these radiations may cause significant damage to brain, which may be an indication of possible tumour promotion.</div>

The present study was performed to investigate the effect of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (2 h/day for 35 days) on reproductive pattern of male Wistar rats. Chronic exposure to these radiations produced formation of apoptotic cells in testis. In addition, a significant decrease in the levels of antioxidant enzymes glutathione and superoxide dismutase activities as well as an increase in catalase activity was observed in the exposed group. These results indicate that a low level exposure of microwave radiations exerts a negative impact on male reproductive system function.</div>

The present study investigated the influence of 2.4GHz electromagnetic fields, similar to that emitted by Wi-Fi system, on human brain activity. The presence of radiation had no effect on the energies of alpha and beta band of male subjects, while it reduced these energies of female subjects, resulting in significantly lower energies, as compared to those of males. Delta and theta band energies did not experience any noteworthy effect from gender, radiation condition and their interaction. Conversely, there was a significant interaction effect (gender x radiation) on the energies of alpha and beta rhythms. The present data support the idea that Wi-Fi signal may influence normal physiology through changes in gender related cortical excitability, as reflected by alpha and beta EEG frequencies.</div>

This study measured the levels of blood lipid peroxidation, glutathione peroxidase, reduced glutathione, and vitamin C to follow the level of oxidative damage caused by 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation exposure (60 min/day for 28 days) in rats. The possible protective effects of selenium and L-carnitine were also tested and compared to untreated controls. Researchers found that 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation caused oxidative stress in blood of rat. L-carnitine seems to have protective effects on the 2.45-GHz-induced blood toxicity by inhibiting free radical supporting antioxidant redox system although selenium has no effect on the investigated values.</div>

The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the effects of chronic 2.45 GHz leakage microwave irradiation on thyroid hormones and behavior of male rats. Behavioral changes were found to be significantly changed from controls for immobilization, rearing and ambulation behavior. Changes in behavioral parameters are also correlated with the trend of changes, compared to control animals, in hormonal blood levels of T3 and T4. Researchers concluded that low energy microwave irradiation may be harmful as it is sufficient to alter the levels of thyroid hormones as well as the emotional reactivity of the irradiated compared to control animals.</div>

This experiment investigated the effects of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation exposure (2h/day for 35 days) on the developing rat brain.The study revealed a statistically significant (p < 0.05) decrease in protein kinase C activity in hippocampus as compared to the remaining portion of the whole brain and the control group, while a similar experiment conducted on hippocampus and the whole brain gave a similar result. Electron microscopic study shows an increase in the glial cell population in the exposed group as compared to the control group. This present study is indicative of a significant change after exposure to the above-mentioned field intensity, which suggests that chronic exposures may affect brain growth and development.</div>

This study investigated the effects of long-term exposure to 2.45 GHz pulsed microwave radiation. The major emphasis was to expose a large sample of experimental animals throughout their lifetimes (21.5h/day for 25 months, starting at 8 weeks) and to monitor them for effects on general health and longevity. Results showed negative overall effects of RFR on general health, longevity, cause of death, or lesions associated with aging and benign neoplasia. Positive findings of effects were found on corticosterone levels and immune system. A statistically significant increase in primary malignancies in exposed rats vs. incidence in control was also found.</div>

Mouse embryo 3T3 cells were irradiated with 2450 MHz continuous and low frequency (16 Hz) square modulated waves of absorbed energy. The low frequency modulated microwave irradiation yielded more morphological cell changes than did the continuous microwave fields of the same intensity. The amount of free negative charges (cationized ferritin binding) on cell surfaces decreased following irradiation by modulated waves but remained unchanged under the effect of a continuous field of the same dose. Modulated waves of 0.024 mW/g dose increased the ruffling activity of the cells, and caused ultrastructural alteration in the cytoplasm. Similar effects were experienced by continuous waves at higher (0.24 and 2.4 mW/g) doses.</div>

May 4, 2019<br />Join Nationwide Rallies, Wednesday, May 15, to Oppose 5G "Small Cell" Towers in Front of Our Homes, including Here in Maryland</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
From: Ronald M. Powell, Ph.D.<br />Montgomery Village, MD</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
Telecommunications companies are actively deploying new 5G cell towers up and down residential streets in our nation, including here in Maryland. These 5G cell towers spew radiofrequency radiation 24/7 into our neighborhoods. This deployment is continuing despite studies by the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization, and biomedical researchers worldwide that have linked cellular radiation to cancer and to many other adverse health effects. Everyone is at risk, but our children are especially vulnerable because they are still developing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
The wealthy telecom companies have powerful allies in government at all levels, but public opposition is growing and is beginning to be noticed by government. 5G can be stopped, but only if the public acts. If you do NOT want one of these cell towers in front of your home, irradiating you night and day, threatening your health, and depreciating the value of your property, you need to speak up. Once that cell tower is installed in front of your home, it is too late, as it already is in some neighborhoods in Maryland.</div>

You can learn more, talk to other concerned residents, and voice your opinion at rallies around the Nation on Wednesday, May 15. That day has been selected as the National 5G Day of Action.</div>

The National 5G Day of Action has been planned by Americans For Responsible Technology. This special day calls on the wireless companies (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile) and their sub-contractors (Crown Castle, ExteNet Systems and other antenna installers) to suspend the deployment of small cell wireless antennas in residential neighborhoods until such time as chronic exposure to 5G radiofrequency (RF) microwave radiation can be proven completely safe.</div>

The coordinated events will take place in cities and towns across the country from 12 noon to 1:30 pm (local time) on Wednesday, May 15th. The purpose of these events is to raise public awareness of the issue through media coverage, and to place the burden of responsibility where it belongs: on those who stand to profit from the deployment of 5G.</div>

Just like cell towers, these wireless antennas generate and emit microwave radiofrequency (RF) radiation to transmit 2G, 3G and 4G network signals. Companies soon plan to add a new technology called 5G which will use current 4G technology plus even higher frequencies. The higher frequencies include millimeter-wave emissions that were not previously released into public areas. </span></span></div>

The researchers found greater antibiotic resistance in microbes present in soil near base stations compared to the control and a statistical significant difference in pattern of antibiotic resistance was found with Nalidixic acid, and cefixime when used as antimicrobial agents. The study concludes, “our findings suggest that mobile tower radiations can significantly alter the vital systems in microbes and turn them multidrug resistant (MDR) which is most important current threat to public health.”</span></span></span></div>

This creates areas of significantly high RF radiation, particularly in the immediate vicinity of such antennas.” The paper concludes that, “using unnecessarily high power levels and placing mobile phone base station antennas too close to the ground and in heavily frequented areas pose an excess health risk to a significant part of the population.” The researchers then followed up with new measurements a year later and published their findings in the paper </span><a href="https://www.spandidos-publications.com/10.3892/ol.2018.9789" style="color: #888888; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">High ambient radiofrequency radiation in Stockholm city, Sweden</span></a><span style="color: black; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> as </span><span style="color: black; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">an estimate of RF radiation levels before the introduction of the fifth generation, 5G.
