Humanity at risk by daily electromagnetic fieldsOngoing developments in biological sciences increase worldwide consensus amongst life scientists that the multitude of cellular changes induced by non-ionizing electromagnetic fields may over longer time accumulate into a range of serious health problems, due to prolonged exposure at levels significantly below the current exposure guidelines. These fast emerging long-term effects form a wide threat for public health.
DescriptionIEMFA is the International Electro-Magnetic Fields Alliance, supported by an independent and growing global body of empirically-based scientific experts on living processes, with a multilevel, multidisciplinary health focus. The Members cover a diversity of Biological, -Physics, -Medical and Epidemiologic disciplines, ranging from atomic and molecular level to the level of living cells, tissues and the functioning of different organ systems. They cooperate worldwide to supply a coherent, multilevel insight into the multitude of observed biological disruptions when exposed to non-ionizing radiation, addressing the important issues of plausible long-term degradation threats for public health. IEMFA collaborates with several international organizations. MissionPrincipal aim of IEMFA is to disseminate coherent, health-oriented information and advice on the rapidly growing body of knowledge on deeper biological disruptions observed in living tissues after exposure to relatively low environmental levels of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields, including the assessment of possibly related long-term health risks when chronically exposed. This body of knowledge is empirically based, and thus extends, updates and biologically refines the current available body of knowledge on predominantly physical-theoretical expectations of health risks of radiation. In this way IEMFA aims to contribute to long-term public health merits, by preventing various possible chronic diseases. IEMFA’s supplementary, long-term oriented information and advice is addressed to everyone with an interest in the subject, especially to national and international health authorities. IEMFA primarily focuses on the widely used frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, of which there is still limited understanding with regards to the long-term effects. It includes low frequencies related to the use of electricity, and radio-frequencies related to the use of various wireless applications.The majority of information provided by the IEMFA is published in the form of scientific reviews, advisory reports and the proceedings of scientific meetings. The outcomes of these reviews will be promoted by IEMFA and will result in the publication of Empirically-based Exposure Guidelines preventing Chronic Health Risks for society. In line with this, IEMFA encourages environmental precautionary measures.
