Links and Educational Materials.

Like many other subjects, the debate about the health implications of EMFs is long and hard. For as many people who claim they are safe, there are equal numbers who claim they are dangerous. On this page, we present to you a series of web links to interesting pages from around the world. These pages themselves will take you further into this fascinating subject.

Protection from the damaging biological effects of EMF radiation.

Whatever you do, don’t take our word, or that matter the word of anyone else at face value. The evidence with regards to health is inconclusive at best. Pay special attention to understand who is behind the ‘evidence’ presented. For example;

Research done by the industry tends to show that mobile phones and other electronic devices are safe
Research done by the health campaigners tends to show that mobile phones are not safe.

Remember, no-one yet knows the truth. The technology is too young for long term health impacts to be visible. Your responsibility is to educate yourself and make your own decisions.
