De-Kun Li: indomitable scientist finds EMF impacts: obesity, asthma, sperm damage

Called the "last man standing" among U.S. environmental epidemiologists working on electromagnetic frequencies research, Dr. De-Kun Li continues to break ground in science exploring biological impacts of RF and magnetic radiation exposures. Unlike other scientists who had studied these impacts, he studies the effects in real time, where exposures are measured as they occur. This is called a prospective study, while in retrospective studies "epidemiologists attempt to estimate exposures and conditions that occurred in the past, sometimes many years later."

One year ago Li found that prenatal EMF exposure can cause obesity in children. His earlier studies linked EMF exposure to asthma and decline in sperm quality. In December 2012 the scientist filed testimony before the Maine Public Utility Commission regarding the issues of smart meter safety. He was asked if science supports the conclusion that wireless smart meters are safe. His expert response was, "No."

The previous year (2011) Dr. Li was one of the experts asked to submit input to the California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) for their health study on smart meters. Li's identifying and contact information must have been removed from his letter at the CCST site because it appears in full at another site.   Furthermore, you must have the URL to locate his letter at CCST because their search is "temporarily down." Plus on the "publications" page you can only find the CCST summary with their own bias on it. The page that includes Li and other experts' input is here, and took some digging to find.

So, what was so threatening about Dr. Li's input about smart meter safety to have to try to suppress it? The scientist simply describes how current FCC's RF exposure standards do not protect the public from biological effects and damage. Consequently, chronic smart meter exposures put people at risk.
