This presentation summarizes research on the biologic and
health effects from exposure to radio frequency radiation emitted by cell
phones and cell towers and discusses the implications of this research for 5G,
fifth generation cellular technology.
The talk was presented on September 24, 2020 by Dr. Joel Moskowitz at the
Occupational and Environmental Medicine Grand Rounds, University of California,
San Francisco.
Joel M. Moskowitz,
Ph.D. has directed the
Center for Family and Community Health in the School of Public Health at UC
Berkeley since 1993. Dr. Moskowitz has published
research on disease prevention programs and policies for 40 years. In 2009 he
served as the senior author on a hallmark paper reviewing research on mobile
phone use and tumor risk published in the
Journal of
Clinical Oncology
Since then he has translated and disseminated research on the biologic and
health effects research of wireless radiation.
He is an advisor to the International
EMF Scientist Appeal
signed by over 240
scientists who have published more than 2,000 papers and letters in
professional journals on electromagnetic fields and biology or health. In
2017 he won a lawsuit against the California Department of
Public Health for suppressing its own scientists’ cell phone safety guidance
for eight years. This resulted in the Department finally publishing cell phone health warnings.
In
the past year, Dr. Moskowitz published two articles in popular venues: “We Have No Reason to Believe
5G Is Safe” on the Scientific
American website, and “Regulators Steamroll Health Concerns
as the Global Economy Embraces 5G” in The Washington Spectator.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session,
participants will be able to…
1.
Describe what is wireless or radio frequency (RF) radiation, including 5G, and
its relationship to ionizing radiation.
2.
Summarize the bioeffects and health effects caused by, or associated with, RF
radiation exposure.
3.
Explain why current national and international RF radiation exposure limits
fail to protect the health of humans and other species.
