You, me, we together : EMF activism ! |
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) occur naturally and are invisible to the naked eye. They're produced by electric charges in the earth or the atmosphere. The earth’s EMF drives the north-south orientation of the compass and is relied upon by birds for navigation. Problems can arise, however, when we’re overly exposed to man made sources of EMF, like cell phones and other electronic devices ; but also from even more powerful sources - from the smart meters, power lines and cell phone towers in our homes and communities. Health issues possibly linked to EMF overexposure include depression, cancer and complications of pregnancy. For more views on EMF and health by doctors and scientists, see
The EMF Dilemma : A problem the law hasn't caught up with
The following are some excellent groups active in promoting technology practices to reduce excessive EMF exposure, and the harm they may cause to children and adults.
|
Citizens for Safe Technology http://www.citizensforsafetechnology.org/ Citizens for Safe Technology is comprised of individuals from various backgrounds - from lawyers to scientists to politicians - united in concern over an exponential increase in exposure to wireless technologies in our society. Besides raising awareness, the group works with the government and other organizations to find ways to reduce exposure to EMF and other harmful technologies. |
Environmental Health Trust
http://ehtrust.org/ EHT educates individuals, health professionals and communities about controllable environmental health risks, and policy changes needed to reduce those risks. They create trans media platforms that provide clear, science-based information to prevent environmentally based disease and promote health. Environmental Health Trust works with businesses, universities, and schools at all levels to create entertaining and informative materials on these themes. Currently their focus is to raise awareness of the negative impacts of unsafe cell phone use, and perform cutting edge research on cell phone radiation risks and ways to reduce them.
Doctors for Safer Schools
http://www.doctorsforsaferschools.org/ Doctors for Safer Schools is an advisory board that provides science based recommendations and resources on EMF radiation to schools, and on the safer use of technology. The organization is particularly concerned with the increasing exposure of children to electromagnetic radiation in schools.
Safe School Committee
http://www.safeschool.ca/ This Canada-based advisory board is comprised of professionals from various backgrounds, united to provide healthy environments to children, by reducing EMF radiation exposure from wireless devices.
San Francisco Neighborhood Antenna-Free Union (SNAFU)
http://www.antennafreeunion.org/ SNAFU is a grassroots, city-wide movement in San Francisco that seeks to prevent installation of wireless antennas near schools, residences, day care centers, senior homes, and playgrounds. The coalition was formed after members found mounting evidence that EMF and RF from cell phones and wireless transmitters cause a host of health issues.

EMF Safety Network
http://emfsafetynetwork.org/ EMF Safety Network seeks to raise awareness on how EMFs and RFs emitted by everyday devices increase risk of health problems. It also seeks to inspire people to protect their own communities. The organization was responsible for starting the campaign against utility Smart Meters in Northern California in 2009. Environmental Working Group http://www.ewg.org/ Based in Washington DC, Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization seeking to empower the public to take action on public health issues, on the basis of education and breakthrough research. Besides EMF-related issues, the organization tackles other environmental health concerns such as GMOs, environmental toxin exposure and food additives. |

EMF Radiation Research Trust
http://www.radiationresearch.org/ This U.K. based organization seeks to educate people on the scientific facts and evidence concerning EMF and health effects. Funded solely on donations, the EMF Radiation Research Trust also lobbies the U.K.and European Union .U. governments to prioritize funding of EMF research.
Pandora Foundation
http://www.pandora-foundation.eu/foundation/index.html The Pandora Foundation was organized after Professor Franz Adlkofer’s findings that electromagnetic fields altered the genome’s structure and function, were not taken seriously because of politics and the influence of the mobile communication industry.
Global Union Against Radiation Deployment From Space (GUARDS)
http://www.stopglobalwifi.org/ GUARDS is an international coalition of groups joining to halt implementation of global WiFi from space (five companies have expressed interest in the project).

International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety (ICEMS)
http://www.icems.eu/ ICEMS is a non-profit organization seeking to protect the public from EMF radiation through research and strategies to assess and manage risks, on the basis of “The Precautionary Principle”. The Precautionary Principle, as outlined on the ICEMS website, is that when there are indications of possible adverse effects, though they remain uncertain, the risks from doing nothing may be far greater than the risks of taking action to control such exposures. |

The EMF Project
http://www.who.int/peh-emf/project/en/ Established in 1996 by the World Health Organization, the EMF Project was created to study scientific evidence on possible detrimental effects of EMF, not just on humans, but the ecosystem in general. The project is open to any WHO Member State government representative concerned with EMF exposure, and is funded by participating countries and organizations.
Maryland Smart Meter Awareness
http://marylandsmartmeterawareness.org/ This is an organization of concerned Maryland residents opposed to the mass rollout of wireless smart meters.
