Due to the advanced nature of warfare in the 21st century, one of the newer kind of weapons we have to worry about, especially with civilian populations is an electromagnetic pulse. These kind of weapons will wipe out any kind of electronic device and knock out the power too. Cars will be rendered useless. Phones, laptops, and tablets too. And it will take a long time before it comes back on.
However, weapons aren’t the only thing that gives of electromagnetic fields. Many wireless devices, Wi-Fi, and 5G tech all expose you to EMF. Dr. Larry Burk, an expert in the field, has been studying the impact on EMF exposure on physical health for 35 years and he has a lot to say about the health risk it poses.
According to Vigilant News, Burk recently had an interview where he talked about the growing impact of EMFs on human health and the steps we can take to offset their effects.
Sahu et al conducted a systematic review examining the impact of EMF pollution on human health:
Objective: Recent technological advances have exponentially expanded globally; harbouring upon Electromagnetic fields (EMF). The utilization of Electromagnetic field has become universal from everyday usage of electronic appliances such as micro wave ovens, tablets and portable computers to telecommunication systems mobile phone towers, radio- television broadcast systems and electronic power transmission systems resulting in electromagnetic field and associated radiations. EMF can have biological effects on cell at microlevel and have the potential ability to cause cell dysfunction manifesting in various biological effects. This review tried to gather evidence from the existing literature about the biological effects of EMF on human health.
Materials and Methods: We did extensive literature search using PubMed and Cochrane database using key words, “electromagnetic fields”, “Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs)”, “biological effects”, “health effects”, “public health”. We included 20 studies conducted from Dec 2009 to Dec 2019 in our systematic review. Data from each study was extracted by two independent researchers and discrepancies were resolved by consensus.
Results: Significant biological effects of EMF exposure were reported on human health ranging from anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), hypersensitivity to infertility and increased risk of multiple carcinomas.
The conclusion states that the application of preventive measures is an urgent need, especially for those in specific occupational settings where they are routinely exposed to EMFs.
It’s imperative to learn and study this topic thoroughly and stay informed of the latest changes or discovery made in this emerging new field. Knowledge is power, right?
