RF Safe
In less than a hundred years we have seen numerous types of consumer goods that made claims of being safe kill millions of people and contribute to millions more being born with life impairing birth defects. When we try putting a number value on people that die from EMF health effects, we must consider we are in a time very similar to the 1914 statistics related to deaths attributed to smoking.
International EMF Project
Sponsored by the World Health Organization, this project seeks to fill the gaps in our knowledge of how electromagnetic fields (including radio frequencies) affect human health, and how those effects vary with the frequency and strength of the field.
Cell Towers Battle for Belfry
From Wired News, 31 January 2001. Critics of placing cellular base station antennae in historic buildings cite health risks of radio frequency radiation.
