Top Stories in 2015 about Cell Phone and Wireless Radiation

The top two news stories about cell phone and other wireless radiation this year were the International EMF Scientist Appeal and the Berkeley cell phone "right to know" law.


More Than 200 Experts Sign Petition to Reduce Wireless Radiation

Two hundred seventeen scientists from forty nations have signed the International EMF Scientist AppealAll have published peer-reviewed research on electromagnetic fields (EMF) and biology or health. The petition calls on the United Nations, the UN member states, and the World Health Organization (WHO) to adopt more protective exposure guidelines for EMF and wireless technology in the face of increasing evidence of health risks. Links to more than 50 news stories published in over two dozen nations can be found on the Appeal web site. For updates on the Appeal see:

Berkeley Adopts Landmark Cell Phone "Right to Know" Law

The Berkeley (California) City Council adopted a cell phone "right to know" law on a unanimous vote of 9-0 in May of this year.  Berkeley is the first city in the United States to pass a cell phone radiation ordinance since San Francisco disbanded its ordinance after a two-year court battle with the CTIA, the wireless industry's lobbying organization. The CTIA sued Berkeley and the case is currently being adjudicated in the Federal courts. Links to more than one hundred news stories from ten countries can be found on the EMR Safety website. For updates on the law and the ensuing litigation see:
