Ionizing RF Radiation
What’s RF – Ionizing RF Radiation – non- Ionizing RF “Ionization” is a process by which electrons are stripped from atoms and molecules. This process can produce molecular changes that can lead to damage in biological tissue, including effects on DNA,genetic material. This process requires interaction with high levels of electromagnetic energy. Those types of […]
Thermal effects of RF Radiation
Thermal effects of RF Radiation What’s RF – Ionizing RF Radiation – Non- Ionizing RF The electric and magnetic fields produced in the body by a nearby electromagnetic source may cause both thermal and non-thermal biological effects. The effects of magnetic fields vary with frequency, and are probably greatest in biological tissue containing small amounts […]
What is RF Radiation?
The word radiation is often thought of as referring to the emanations from radioactive material and x-rays. However when scientists use the word radiation they are usually referring to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) which can be emitted from such sources as radio cell phones, TV transmissions, light from the sun as well as x-ray machines. Electromagnetic […]
Understanding Radio Frequency Wave Interference
Radio Frequency Wave Interference A natural/balanced approach for safety The below images depict Interference of visible RF waves “light”. Cell phones use non-visible RF waves “Microwaves”. The only difference between visible light waves and microwaves are their wavelengths. Microwaves used for cell phone communication have a much longer wavelength making them easy to control interference […]
Radio Frequency Safe Glossary of Terms
The descriptions below are intended to help the reader understand the text; they are not necessarily definitive scientific terms, for which the reader is advised to consult more sources.

Cell Phones Increase RF Radiation Output Inside Of Vehicles – Faraday Effect
Vehicular Faraday Effect Increased RF radiation inside a vehicle Because most vehicles have metal roofs and, for the most part, come with factory tinted glass, your vehicle can act as a Faraday cage and concentrating reflector. This allows your vehicle to amplify RF wave density just like a microwave oven, without allowing the RF radiation […]
Brain Damage
Brain Damage Red Herring Journalist: Niall McKay October, 2000 That driver with the cell phone may not be paying attention – or maybe it’s a tumor.

Cell Phones May Damage Nerves In The Scalp
Cell Phones May Damage Nerves In The Scalp Reuters Journalist: Amy Norton August 15, 2000 As cellular phones become ubiquitous, their status as a possible health threat–either as a distraction to drivers or a potential cause of brain tumors–is gaining more attention. Now, investigators say there is evidence that cell phones may damage nerves in […]
Cell Phones: We Need More Testing
Cell Phones: We Need More Testing Business Week Journalist: Norm Alster August 14, 2000 Back in the early 1980s, there were 35 researchers at the Environmental Protection Agency exploring the biological effects of radiation from cell phones and other devices. But by 1987, budget cuts had shut the program down. Since then, the Federal Communications […]
