Description
Scientists and physicians from academic centres and independent organizations in the USA, Europe and Asia, came together in mid-2007 to form the Bioinitiative Working Group. The group's goal was to document proposals for safer standards regarding public exposure to electromagnetic fields based on their comprehensive review of the literature. In its Report, which reviewed several hundreds of studies in this area, substantial evidence is cited for human disease-associations with electromagnetic fields (cell phones, transmission towers, power lines and Wi-Fi) - particularly leukemia and brain tumours. The group makes its evidence-based recommendations to the Public, Governments and Industry in terms of immediately revising current "exposure standards" to come into line with more contemporary research -- particularly with regard to children, pregnant women, and occupational exposures.
