An invisible smog linked to depression, miscarriage and cancer

New research has shown that fields from electrical wiring and devices in the home and office should be considered to be a form of pollution. Recent studies are finding that many cancers and other diseases may be directly related to exposure to these electrical fields.

Cell phones linked to cancer

Recent research has linked radiation from cell phones to cancer and to brain damage. And many studies have found disturbing symptoms in people near masts.

The UN's World Health Organisation (WHO) calls the electronic smog "one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences." Everyone in the world" is exposed to it and that "levels will continue to increase as technology advances".

Even when nothing is turned on

Wiring creates electrical fields, one component of the smog, even when nothing is turned on. And all electrical equipment - from TVs to toasters - give off another one, magnetic fields. The fields rapidly decrease with distance but appliances such as hair dryers and electric shavers, used close to the head, can give high exposures. Electric blankets and clock radios near to beds produce even higher doses because people are exposed to them for many hours while sleeping.

Perhaps strangest of all, there is increasing evidence that the electronic smog causes some people to become allergic to electricity, leading to nausea, pain, dizziness, depression and difficulties in sleeping and concentrating when they use electrical appliances or go near mobile phone masts. Some are so badly affected that they have to change their lifestyles.
