Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development released its spring issue today, and it features an article by Dr. Robert Brown, EHT’s Vice President of Scientific Research and Clinical Affairs, about his recently published study on cell phone radiation causing human blood cells to stick together.

Even if you have already read about Dr. Brown’s study in our blog post on the subject, the article in Environment is an important read because it includes new information, discovered after the publication of the initial study — namely that the rouleau effect documented in the study, in which blood cells adhere to each other after five minutes of cell phone exposure, also occurs when a cell phone is held an inch away from the body. The article includes ultrasound images and video of the phenomenon occurring both when a cell phone is touching a volunteer’s body and when the device is simply close to the leg. Click the image to read the article for an explanation of the full impact of this initial research, its implications for human health, and what follow-up research EHT is planning next.

Sweden: High Radiofrequency Radiation in the Surroundings of 10 Schools in Örebro

High Radiofrequency Radiation in the Surroundings of 10 Schools in Örebro, Sweden

Hardell L, Nilsson M. High Radiofrequency Radiation in the Surroundings of 10 Schools in Örebro, Sweden. Fortune Journal of Health Sciences. 8 (2025): 306-310.

Abstract

In Sweden as well as in many other countries the fifth generation, 5G, for wireless communication is rolled-out since 2019/2020. This has caused increasing environmental exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Children and adolescents are especially vulnerable to RF radiation. Exposure sources in schools such as Wi-Fi routers, wireless connected mobile phones, and computers may cause high RF-exposure inside the schools but also outside sources, such as mobile phone base stations, may contribute significantly. In this study outside environmental exposure to RF radiation from 4G and 5G base stations was measured in October 2024 in close proximity to 10 schools in Sweden. The maximum levels ranged from 10,716 to 68,452 μ/m2. These levels far exceed the EUROPAEM EMF guidelines for daytime RF radiation exposure 10-1,000 μW/m2, nighttime 1-100 μW/m2, and for sensitive persons 0.1-10 μW/m2.

It’s Time To Rethink 6G

It’s Time To Rethink 6G

It’s not more bandwidth that users need

by William Webb, spectrum.ieee.org, 10 Feb. 2025

Is the worldwide race to keep expanding mobile bandwidth a fool’s errand? Could maximum data speeds—on mobile devices, at home, at work—be approaching “fast enough” for most people for most purposes?

These heretical questions are worth asking, because industry bandwidth tracking data has lately been revealing something surprising: Terrestrial and mobile-data growth is slowing down. In fact, absent a dramatic change in consumer tech and broadband usage patterns, data-rate demand appears set to top out below 1 billion bits per second (1 gigabit per second) in just a few years.

This is a big deal. A presumption of endless growth in wireless and terrestrial broadband data rates has for decades been a key driver behind telecom research funding. To keep telecom’s R&D engine rooms revving, research teams around the world have innovated a seemingly endless succession of technologies to expand bandwidth rates, such as 2G’s move to digital cell networks, 3G’s enhanced data-transfer capabilities, and 5G’s low-latency wireless connectivity.

United States: Restoring Local Control of Cell Tower Regulations

 USA: Restoring Local Control of Cell Tower Regulations

An Initiative to Protect Children’s Health by Restoring Local Control of Cell Towers and Antennas.

704NoMore – 20apr2025.

(USA) Section 704 undermines public health, environmental protections, and individual rights.

Our mission is to change that. Let’s protect children’s health and the environment by taking back local control of cell towers.

Section 704 and other FCC pre-emptive actions enforce the FCC’s outdated RF radiation guidelines, ignoring mounting evidence of harm, particularly to children. These laws and preemptive actions also strip away our personal freedoms and property rights, and override the states’ traditional police powers that protect our health and welfare.

Protecting children’s health means changing the way wireless infrastructure is regulated.

Our team, led by attorney W. Scott McCollough, brings decades of expertise to the fight for local control and public safety in the telecom space. We are dedicated to impactful strategic litigation and advocacy, and are determined to turn challenges into victories. – Learn More

NEW PAPER: “Safety of Wireless Technologies – The Scientific View” Says Chronic Disease Epidemic Was Predicted by U.S. Navy Research Over 50 Years Ago

“Safety of Wireless Technologies – The Scientific View”, co-authored by Richard A. Lear and Camilla R. G. Rees, MBA, founder of Manhattan Neighbors for Safer Telecommunications, ElectromagneticHealth.org and Campaign for Radiation Free Schools, was announced at the Annual Conference of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine in San Antonio, TX today.

“Safety of Wireless Technologies: The Scientific View” shines a light on U.S. government warnings about health risks from wireless radiation–warnings issued over 50 years ago that were roundly ignored for decades by U.S. regulators, including the FCC, EPA and FDA.

The paper explains that unheeded warnings in a U.S. Naval Medical Research Institute review study in 1971, which reviewed 2,311 scientific studies on biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields, finding 132 different biological effects, symptoms and diseases associated with wireless exposures, contributed to the explosion in chronic illnesses in the U.S.

Massachusetts: Testimony argues against need for Greenfield cell tower

GREENFIELD — Following testimony from an attorney and a radio frequency expert representing the abutters of a proposed 170-foot monopole cell tower near 112 Newton St., the Zoning Board of Appeals on Thursday formally requested that AT&T provide dropped call data, reception data collected from driving tests and a report from a third-party radio frequency engineer.

Residents who live in the vicinity of the cell tower that is being proposed by applicant Viridi Wireless brought University of New Hampshire Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Emeritus Kent Chamberlin and their attorney Andrew Campanelli before the ZBA to discuss the potential adverse health effects and alleged lack of necessity.

France: Banning smartphones from secondary schools: a public health measure

Banning smartphones from secondary schools: a public health measure
By : Phonegate Team • 14 Apr 2025

During the Senate’s topical questions to the government on April 9, 2025, concerning the ban on smartphones in secondary schools, French Education Minister Élisabeth Borne confirmed the extension to all secondary schools of the “digital break” from September 2025. This announcement follows a question from Senator François Bonhomme (LR), concerned about the “harmful use” of cell phones among young people.

This initiative builds on Law n°2018-698 of August 3, 2018, which already banned the use of mobile phones in kindergartens, elementary schools and secondary schools during school hours, while allowing students to keep them on their person. The move to a total ban (deposit in secure lockers) marks a further step towards this “digital break” deemed necessary for the well-being of young people.

Educational and social benefits of banning smartphones in secondary school

The experiment conducted in 190 secondary schools since September 2024 is showing convincing results. Feedback points to an improved school climate (less tension, greater social interaction) and better student concentration.

“The longer you keep your smartphone within reach, the lower your attention span and learning performance. There’s no longer any doubt about it“, stresses Prof. Klaus Zierer.

Exposure to electromagnetic radiation: a neglected health imperative

Scientific data reveal underestimated dangers requiring a more ambitious political response and enhanced government action:
