Welcome to EMR Safety

The Electromagnetic Radiation Safety web site has addressed key scientific and policy developments concerning the health risks from exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and other non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) since 2013.

This website is curated by Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D., School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. To avoid conflicts of interest, I do not promote or endorse any products. Moreover, I have little confidence in most manufacturers' product safety claims even by manufacturers who report independent laboratory test results for their products.


Any use of my name, image, webinars, or website in marketing products is unauthorized and misleading. For more information see Buyer Beware: Cell Phone Radiation-Reducing Products.

With over 250 posts, Saferemr.com provides a curated collection of links to articles about the health risks associated with cell phones, cell towers, 2G thru 5G, Wi-Fi, Smart Meters, electric and hybrid cars, and other wireless devices. 

I also report on the manufacturing of doubt about the science by industry-linked scientists and organizations and by government agencies and their support for the inadequate EMF exposure guidelines recommended by the IEEE, ICNIRP, and the FCC.

Key Posts
This web site has had more than 5 million page views by visitors from over 200 countries which attests to global concern about the impact of wireless radiation on our health and on the environment.


EMR Safety reached one million page views on April 7, 2017, two million page views on March 11, 2019, three million page views on July 14, 2021, four million page views on February 22, 2024, five million pages on November 12, 2025, and 5.5 million pages on June 11, 2026.

More than half (56%) of visitors were from outside the United States with Canada, United Kingdom, France, India, Germany, China, Hong Kong, Russia, and Australia represented the most.

Mobilize investigates the claims around the question of whether the radiation from cell phones is harmful to human health. While the question dates back to the early 1990s, it has been revived as a result of the World Health Organization has stated that, “the electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones are . . . possibly carcinogenic to humans,” as well as an increasing number of scientific studies showing the effects of cell phone radiation on human health, personal claims, and our increasing dependence on these personal communication devices. The producers go beyond the hype to get to the root of the issue, often exposing inconsistencies in statements by the cell phone industry regarding the current research, and statements made by the Federal Communications Commission and public health organizations. The producers process the information gained through scientific research, Congressional Hearings, and interviews with cell phone industry executives, politicians, public health professionals, and other individuals to provide a balanced and thorough discussion and investigation. Other countries have created legislation around the public health concerns related to the radiation from cell phones. The producers of the film claim the U.S. is slower to adopt such legislation due to the lobbying efforts of the cell phone industry. One of the few cases mentioned is when the city of San Francisco adopted a policy regarding the health concern of cell phone radiation, the cell phone industry filed a lawsuit against the city. This film would be a useful resource for persons exploring the impact of technology on health and behavior, including sociology, psychology, health care and public health. 

 

Mobilize 3 1/2 stars (2014) 84 min. DVD: $19.98. ISBN: 978-1-939517-25-8.
What are the long-term health consequences from daily use of cellular phones? No one really knows, since widespread cell phone use is fairly new. Still, filmmaker Kevin Kunze’s documentary Mobilize makes a strong case that persuasive evidence has emerged regarding the potential for damage to the human body through heavy cell phone usage. Buried in the fine print of the manuals that accompany new cell phones are warnings about keeping the devices a short distance from a user’s head. But studies outlined here make it clear that such precautions aren’t enough: radiation from phones causes heat that, over time, can injure the brain, while a phone’s constant radio interactions with mobile device towers can alter brain chemistry. The problems don’t end there: cell phones carry a potential threat to pregnant women and their babies, and have been linked to cancer, low sperm count, and attention deficit disorder (the industry is also marketing to toddlers, assuring that future generations will be exposed to this radiation). Despite the concerns, Mobilize illustrates how the lobbying and legal powers of the telecommunications industry have been able to shut down any legislative or judicial attempts to curb emissions (or even educate consumers). An alarming documentary with unquestionably controversial findings, this is highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (T. Keogh)
