Honoring the Life of EMF Activist Arthur Firstenburg

Honoring the Life of EMF Activist Arthur Firstenburg

We are sad to report that EMF activist, researcher and author Arthur Firstenburg passed away recently, at age 74. After months of enduring an undiagnosed illness, he died at home, surrounded by family and friends, on February 25th, 2025.  We want to take the time right now to remember and honor his life, and his accomplishments in bringing awareness to the harms of electromagnetic fields.

Notice of Liability Movement: A New Strategy for Smart Meter & 5G Activism

Notice of Liability Movement: A New Strategy for Smart Meter & 5G Activism

The Notice of Liability (NoL) movement offers a strategic approach for individuals opposing the installation of smart meters and the expansion of 5G technology. By issuing formal notices, we can hold corporations and government agencies accountable for potential harm caused by electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation. This method emphasizes personal responsibility and informed consent, aiming to protect individual rights and health by challenging the deployment of these technologies.

New Study Review Adds to Evidence Linking Cell Phone Radiation with Brain Cancer

New Study Review Adds to Evidence Linking Cell Phone Radiation with Brain Cancer

A systematic study review published in October of 2024 by South Korean researchers, which analyzed 24 relevant studies, found significant evidence of a higher risk of malignant brain tumors, glioma and meningioma on the side of the head where cell phones were held.They also found an increased risk of glioma, the most deadly type of brain tumor, in long-term, heavy cell phone users.This is the seventh peer-reviewed systematic meta-analysis published between 2016 and 2024 that has found statistically significant connections between cell phone use and brain cancer.The recent study review was published in Environmental Health, and authored by Jinyoung Moon,...

U.S. Government Halts Research on Cell Phone Radiation Health Effects

U.S. Government Halts Research on Cell Phone Radiation Health Effects

Despite a $30 million government-funded study revealing potential cancer risks associated with cell phone radiation, further U.S. research has been abruptly halted. While the study's findings, which showed tumor development in rodents exposed to radiofrequency radiation, were validated by a peer review board, subsequent government reports downplayed the relevance of these findings to humans. This decision to cease research stands in stark contrast to numerous other developed nations, including France and the EU, that acknowledge the potential dangers of RF radiation and have implemented significantly stricter safety guidelines and exposure limits.

Local Wins Against 5G Antenna Installations & Wireless Radiation Harming Birds

Local Wins Against 5G Antenna Installations & Wireless Radiation Harming Birds

With the rapid and unchecked proliferation of wireless radiation sources, increasing exponentially every year, the FDA has failed to actively assess exposure levels, develop techniques to reduce exposure, or warn the public about potential harm. A formal Citizens' Petition was filed in May 2023 , by the non-profit organization Americans for Responsible Technology (ART) and other petitioners, demanding that they fulfill the clear requirements established for them by the U.S. Congress.

Neighborhood Cell Tower Sickens Residents, 15-Year-Old Girl Speaks Out

Neighborhood Cell Tower Sickens Residents, 15-Year-Old Girl Speaks Out

In 2020, when most of the world shut down in response to a declared viral pandemic, the lives of dozens of residents of a small town in Massachusetts were changed drastically, but from a completely different type of threat.  Although schools and workplaces were shut down, one type of activity ramped up even more fervently:  the clearing of forests, destruction and displacement of entire ecosystems of animals and insects, and the unchallenged construction of large, looming metal structures that characterizes the placement of new cell phone towers.

FCC Under Fire:  The Pressure Is On For Radio-frequency Safety Guideline Updates

FCC Under Fire: The Pressure Is On For Radio-frequency Safety Guideline Updates

We have been closely following a court case and lawsuit against the FCC that started almost four years ago that will have profound implications in protecting the health of people, animals and the environment from harmful and excessive wireless electromagnetic field exposure.  Here is the most recent news, highlighting the pressure the FCC is under currently to change their guidelines or prove that their current ones are adequate!

All About Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome

World EHS Day brings awareness to the lives of the "canaries in the coal mine". These are people who are sensitive to the changes in our environment caused by the pervasiveness of man-made electromagnetic frequencies. These folks' symptoms are a sign that something is not right, and we need to use caution not to fill the air with harmful frequencies that wreak havoc on biological systems.

Cell Service Companies Prepare For 5G Expansion Amid Concerns From Airline Industry

The current plan is for AT&T and Verizon to launch their C-band service on January 19th at the earliest, considerably expanding their network coverage.  This plan is still a compromise for aviation and their radar altimeters, and they are now actively issuing notices and warnings of potential interference to all airports and runways that may be affected by the new spectrum launch.
