THE BIOINITIATIVE REPORT 2012
http://www.bioinitiative.orgA Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF)
The BioInitiative 2012 Report has been prepared by 29 authors from ten countries, ten holding medical degrees (MDs), 21 PhDs, and three MsC, MA or MPHs. Among the authors are three former presidents of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, and five full members of BEMS.
According to David O. Carpenter, MD co-editor of the 2012 Report "there is now much more evidence of risks to health affecting billions of people world-wide. The status quo is not acceptable in light of the evidence for harm."
Lennart Hardell, MD at Orebro University, Sweden, one of the Reports, authors explains "there is a consistent pattern of increased risk for glioma (a malignant brain tumor) and acoustic neuroma with use of mobile and cordless phones" he goes on to say "the existing FCC [Federal Communications Commission] /IEE [Institution of Electrical Engineering] and ICNIRP [Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection] public safety limits and reference levels are not adequate to protect public health."
Another of the Reports contributors Martha Herbert, MD, PhD Assistant Professor of Neurology atHarvard Medical School comments " While we aggressively investigate the links between autism disorders and wireless technologies, we should minimize wireless and EMF exposures for people with autism disorders, children of all ages, people planning a baby, and during pregnancy."
