Energy, Energy, Everywhere – Should We Be Worried?

By Editorial Staff

Radiofrequency electromagnetic energy RF/EMF) is all around us, courtesy of microwave ovens, cellphones and increasingly, the prolific Wi-Fi Hot Spot. In fact, car manufacturers are now making new cars Wi-Fi enabled so you can be surrounded by Wi-Fi at each and every turn (pun intended).

Perhaps. For example, consider these sobering points from an article published in the Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure:

• Children absorb more microwave radiation than adults.
• Fetuses are even more vulnerable and pregnant women should avoid exposure.
• Adolescent girls and women should not place cellphones in their bras or in head scarfs.
• Cellphone manuals warn that there is an overexposure problem.
• Government warnings have been issued and largely ignored.
• Current exposure limits are outdated and probably should be revised.
• Wireless devices are radio transmitters, not toys.

There's also an increasing body of research that at least suggests we should limit our exposure to cellphones, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth devices, etc., and in particular, not place them close to our brains or other internal organs. Of course, that brings up the point: How can we limit exposure when the potentially dangerous energy is all around us, all the time, as is the case with Wi-Fi?
