Environmental Health Trust Urges US Federal Government to Help Implement Cell Phone Safety Measures in U.S.

Working with some of the world’s top scientists, EHT researches new health problems linked with cell phones; publicizes case reports on rare cell phone-associated illnesses. the organization is making a call for action made in light of world health organization’s recent declaration that cell phone radiation may cause cancer in humans

Jackson, WY, June 07, 2011 -- Following the World Health Organization’s recent declaration that cell phone radiation is a possible cause of cancer in humans, Environmental Health Trust (EHT) is calling on the US Federal Government to join with the leaders of other modern nations and take steps to promote preventive actions to protect America, especially children from unwitting and unnecessary exposure to cell phones and other microwave-emitting devices.

EHT is requesting that the US Federal Government to make efforts to help put into place the following measures as quickly as possible:

• Require the Federal Communications Commission to review existing standards for cell phones in light of the World Health Organization’s evaluation and adopt state-of-the-art approaches for their implementation.

• Mandate that all cell phones are sold with headsets and advice about simple ways to reduce close contact with the brain and other parts of the body, especially for pregnant women and men who wish to become fathers.

• Order the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct a national survey of institutional exposures to microwave radiation from cell phones and other devices. The last such survey was conducted in 1980.

• Call for an immediate ban on all advertisements of cell phones featuring young children and promoting their use of these devices.

“There is mounting evidence that cell phone radiation can damage DNA, degrade the brain’s defenses, and reduce sperm counts while increasing memory loss and the risks of Alzheimer’s disease and cancer,” says Dr. Devra Davis, EHT President and author of Disconnect: The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, What Industry Has Done to Hide It and How to Protect Your Family (Dutton, 2010). “To the telecom industry executives of America, we say: In light of the unequivocal evidence that formed the basis of the WHO finding, we urge you to join us as we work together to eliminate this potentially serious health issue faced by cell phone users in America and around the world.

Dr. Davis adds, “The world cannot afford to wait for an increase in brain cancers before taking steps to curb exposures to what is the largest uncontrolled experiment in the world--the use of cell phones by ourselves and our children."

Working with some of the world’s top scientists, EHT researches new health problems linked with cell phones; publicizes case reports on rare cell phone-associated illnesses; advocates the Right-T-Know about cell phone safety around the world; sponsors training programs for teachers and parents on reducing cell phone risks; and supports health professional training and education working at universities around the world.

A world-class Scientific Advisory Group complements EHT’s Board of Directors. Working with governments, senior scientists and elected officials from Wyoming to Vienna, EHT helps devise policies to protect Americans’ right to information and, ultimately, their health. Through YouTube, Twitter, longer blogs, and scientific symposia, EHT provides up-to-date information via e-newsletters, public events, conferences and its website www.ehtrust.org or www.saferphonezone.com.
