Escalating Non-ionizing Electromagnetic Fields from Telecommunications and Electricity: Comparing and Contrasting U.S. and International Policies and Approaches to Protecting Public and Environmental Health
Abstract
The proliferation of smartphones, wireless technology and new telecommunications networks in combination with the electrical systems that power twenty-first-century living have created exponential increases in electromagnetic radiation. Exposure to artificially generated, non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is one of the most ubiquitous and fastest-growing anthropogenic factors in the environment ( Bandara and Carpenter, 2018 ).
