EMF’s have been linked to health problems, cancer, and other diseases. EMF’s include electric and magnetic fields, and wireless radiation. In California and other states, prudent avoidance of EMF’s is recommended public policy. Prudent avoidance means taking steps to reduce EMF exposure, for example: using wired internet; corded phones; avoiding smart meters; and setting limits on computer time for children. Children are especially vulnerable to EMF’s.
The benefits of technology must be balanced with the science-based health and safety risks of technology. Ultimately we want to protect children, public health, the natural environment, and our future.
