“These findings indicated that some RF-EMF may be correlated with more severe migraine headaches.”
Correlation is not causation.
The study also does little to deal with the fact that the subjects taking part in the study would likely expect to experience more headaches/migraines when using mobile phones/WiFi and would therefore end up having more headaches/migraines as a result, known as the nocebo effect. This might explain why having a phone within 1m of their head while they slept made no difference, as no nocebo effect when you are asleep.
Sorry, totally off topic, but this study is evidence of very little, certainly not the ability of EMF to affect the human brain. Not trying to have an argument or to diminish the experiences of others, but we need to be very careful when posting such studies as evidence of one thing or another.
Did you read that? It’s not really a study, it’s just a poorly-written article that says ‘yeah it’s dangerous’ without offering anything in the way of actual proof. There are a few citations but the only one vaguely resembling a scientific study is the Bioinitiative Report, and that’s not peer reviewed, full of false information and easily debunked. See here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinitiative_Report#Criticism
The article you linked states that “The Bioinitiatve Report is probably the most comprehensive literature review on the subject”. If that’s true, and in the 12 years since then nobody has been able to come up with any solid evidence, I’m gonna remain sceptical about the dangers of EM radiation.
I read it, was poorly written but again, I know it’s harmful, and I don’t need any more evidence myself. I also care very little about what others believe and have no interest in defending my position.
Buy an EMF meter and see for yourself.
It’s obvious that it’s harmful and it’s obvious why people would seek to refute that fact.
Well I mean, all light and also heat energy are defined as Electromagnetic radiation. And rather than cause damage to us, we’ve evolved nervous systems that are able to accurately sense and respond to specific bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The EM spectrum is vast, and while prolonged exposure to specific types of EM radiation (Gamma, X-rays) can almost certainly cause harm to biological organisms, most of the EM spectrum is relatively benign.
If as you say, EM radiation is a public health problem, then why isn’t the global population decreasing in correlation to the ever increasing use of Electromagnetic communications devices?
It isn’t. Because they don’t pose any significant (emphasising the word significant here) health risk
