Research into possible negative effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMF)
Background.There is growing debate and concern about the effects of long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields, wireless radiation such as Wi-Fi, mobile (3G, 4G and now 5G), radar, emergency networks, magnetic fields from electrical cables and equipment and more. In public debate, one can get the impression that there is no good peer-reviewed research showing several documented negative effects of wireless radiation. Negative effects of i.a. wireless radiation has been well known since the early 60s when the American embassy in Moscow was "bombarded" with high-intensity mobile radiation, which meant that the employee often fell ill, felt unwell and went home for a short time on duty. In other words, they started using wireless radiation as a weapon over 50 years ago.
The research is clear, it is only the market forces that try to obscure the facts
During the last 30 years, close to 40,000 scientific studies have been carried out in which strong warnings and serious side effects such as increased risk of brain cancer, DNA damage, oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, altered brain development, impaired reproductive capacity, sleep changes, hormone changes, hyperactivity and memory problems. Common symptoms are headache, tremors, dizziness, forgetfulness, poor concentration and sleep disturbances.
Below we refer to some scientific studies for those of you who want to read the documentation yourself:

- PubMed on EMF and Health, click here!
- Microwave News about EMF and health, click here!
- Research into electromagnetic hypersensitivity, click here!
- Research on semen quality/sperm and radiation, click here!
Despite all the documentation that has emerged, an attempt is made to create the impression that wireless radiation and other EMFs are harmless. One can speculate on the reasons for this and the obvious is that it is much cheaper to build out wireless networks than to lay cable (which does not rust) and that it is practical and easy to use wireless technology. The result is that many ignore the warnings and the operators/suppliers can continue their development and make good money. It is up to you whether you want to take precautions and reduce exposure and protect yourself to the best of your ability (there are several current technologies that have been shown to be effective).
There is much that you cannot decide, but you can do something about your local environment and your usage habits!
