Frank Clegg, former president of Microsoft Canada says everyone who uses technology should read An Electronic Silent Spring by Katie Singer.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In order to operate, mobile phones, iPads, cellular antennas, Wi-Fi and “smart” utility meters emit electromagnetic radiation (EMR) at frequencies and amplitudes that are not found in nature. An Electronic Silent Spring tells how people and wildlife are affected.
- The book reports on peer-reviewed studies that show that EMR-exposed tadpoles die, aspen tree seedlings wither, bee colonies collapse, birds crash into antennas and white stork mates fight.
- EMR from “smart” utility meters, metal detectors, hybrid cars and other common electronics can shut off a medical implant. NIH estimates that 10% of Americans have a medical implant. The FDA regulates microwave ovens, which can interfere with cardiac pacemakers. No agency regulates cell phones, which operate closer to the body, with more power and at the same frequency as a microwave oven. In An Electronic Silent Spring, geophysicist, electrical engineer and implant patient Dr. Gary Olhoeft speaks on the issues.
- How does long-term, chronic exposure to EMR affect infants and children? In An Electronic Silent Spring, Dr. Martha Herbert, Harvard pediatric neurologist, and Cindy Sage, MA, co-editor of the BioInitiative Report, explain why exposing children to EMR may lead to autism. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises pregnant women and children not to use mobile devices.
- An Electronic Silent Spring looks at worker safety: the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers are routinely exposed to dangerous EMR from rooftop antennas without warning or protection.
- Federal regulations protect the engineering needs of electronic devices–and telecom companies. A federal law prohibits local officials from refusing installation of cellular antennas based on health or environmental concerns...
A comment at Amazon justly praises the ground-breaking book:
Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring" written in 1962 inspired a generation of environmental movement and transformation. As awareness of toxins has become more mainstream, our biggest threat is now from electronic overload of wireless and electrical noise (dirty electricity) and the sad popular assumption that it's all completely safe. This book takes that belief and introduces readers to the real life experiences of countless individuals who have seem the darker side of the electronic revolution. Singer is able to take a very complex topic and simplify and clarify the issues. She wisely choose to include voices of many other experts in this movement to show that this is not the view of one person, but a growing network of concerned citizens from around the globe working together against this monumental threat to life. I am also thrilled to see her include the emerging link between EMF and autism and information about light flicker.
This book is an excellent introduction to EMF and has a great deal of depth and detail that even experts in the field will learn from. I believe this book can deliver another worldwide movement to protect our generation.
Great work!
