Here is an excellent review of the current status of the EMF problems: Smart Meters, WiFi, CellPhones, etc.
This is a must read.

Amy Worthington, a member of the Weston A. Price Foundation from Idaho, is an investigative journalist who has researched and written many articles on the topic of wireless radiation.
At six schools in Hamburg the digital age should find their way. City and school board now back row: The wireless network WLAN was too dangerous for the health of students.
Learning with Tablet: It will not give in Hamburg so soon. Too big are the concerns about the health of students.
HAMBURG
The Authority announced by the school after the summer holidays measures to equip the students three Hamburg district schools and three high schools each with tablet and notebook, are for the time being on ice. Reason is that the wireless Internet access terminals to be enabled by the wireless network WLAN. Both potential health consequences are unclear, and legal frameworks.
“Six schools replace board, textbooks, notebooks and pencils Laptop and Tablet in class,” it said in May in a statement presented by Senator school Ties Rabe. During the two-year project should thus up to 1,300 students, which is about 30 percent of children and adolescents participate in these schools.
Now the school board backtracked. “We are currently investigating whether there are data protection or other legal problems,” admitted a spokesman Peter Albrecht.
High waves had the project mainly beaten because of the non-party MPs citizenship Walter Scheuerl with two kids trying to torpedo the project requests in the citizenry and various reports. So would transmit data over the wireless local radio networks by means of radiating and receiving extremely high microwave frequencies.
In fact, some doctors criticized recently, the introduction of tablets, smartphones, and wireless media as teaching in schools as “an uncritical acceptance of progress hype”. In an open letter complain about 20 doctors from “Doctors Working Group Digital Media in Stuttgart”, that the comments made in science and medicine concerns the use of digital media in schools were not being met.
“The correlation of the increase of overwork, headaches, ADHD and mental illness with the growing use of digital media is worrying,” said Ulmer psychiatrist and brain researcher Prof. Manfred Spitzer. According to the state of science whose harmfulness was clear that stress could also lead to impaired concentration, in addition to sperm damage to DNA strand breaks and thus cancer. The manufacturer, as well as the Federal Office for Radiation Protection, would already warning of a body-hugging use the equipment and require minimum distances, so the doctors. Neither school board nor health authority of the Hanseatic city could respond to such warnings.
Dirk Petersen, environmental expert at Consumer Hamburg , relativized: “There is in our view no reliable information, that it is harmful.” For the radiation was simply too small, so the expert. Ellen Kruse, a spokeswoman for the AG electrosmog the BUND Hamburg, however, criticized: “There are a lot of neutral studies showing that Wi-Fi is very harmful.” She called independent experts who educate in schools. Especially the combined use of up to 30 students comprehensive classes is questionable, so Kruse. The World Health Organization warn that mobile phone could possibly be carcinogenic. “We are the precautionary principle,” she said. However, the Bund was not hostile to progress and plead for a wired internet access in schools.
In its requests to the Senate it was Scheuerl also the subject of privacy statements and whether the legal guardian, adult students as well as teachers they would be and what would happen if they would not sign. The school board admitted now, just to check this straight. Scheuerl said: “The Authority had previously not carefully prepared.” However, the use of WLAN is from his point of view in order if they would agree. “The school used for the Internet research is important, but it is also about information literacy,” said Scheuerl. A general education he also called on the educational and learning psychological consequences, liability risks, technical issues, and copyright issues and risks.
Here is a FACEBOOK site with lots of information on the health problems related to RF Radiation or EMR.
When Thomas Edison began wiring New York City with a direct current electricity distribution system in the 1880s, he gave humankind the magic of electric light, heat, and power;
in the process, though, he inadvertently opened a Pandora’s Box of unimaginable illness and death.
Dirty Electricity (DE) tells the story of Dr. Samuel Milham, the scientist who first alerted the world about the frightening link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and human disease.
Milham takes readers through his early years and education, following the twisting path that led to his discovery that most of the twentieth century diseases of civilization, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide, are caused by electromagnetic field exposure.
In the second edition, he explains how electrical exposure does its damage, and how electricity is causing our current epidemics of asthma, diabetes and obesity.
Dr. Milham warns that because of the recent proliferation of radio frequency radiation from cell phones and towers, terrestrial antennas, Wi-Fi and Wi-max systems, broadband internet over power lines, and personal electronic equipment, we may be facing a looming epidemic of morbidity and mortality. In Dirty Electricity, he reveals the steps we must take, personally and as a society, to coexist with this marvelous but dangerous technology.

Wow, I just purchased Dirty Electricity and read it all in one reading. I found it engrossing and I think it will change my life. Here are some of the main nuggets of information that I have dug out of this great book:
Dirty Electricity exists on all 60 Hz power, mostly low amplitude but some extremely high and thus dangerous.
There is a a well proven relationship between Dirty Electricity and cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide, Dr Milham details his detective work in finding first cancer clusters and then the Dirty Electricity that caused the cancers.
The power and communications industries do not want to know about Dr Milham’s findings and use their financial muscle to prevent him in many cases to fix the problems and then to publicize the findings. In public hearing the Industry brings in high paid “experts” to say that there is no problem. These expert either are stupid and do not know anything or quite smart for accepting daily fees of $1,500 for their work and false testimony. And, these fees are usually paid by the Power company who simply add the costs on to their operating costs which are paid for by the customers. A no win/no win for the citizen/consumer.
Dr Milham found cancer clusters in various schools and found the source of the Dirty Electricity that caused the cancers and showed the school management how to fix the problem. But in many cases the administration did not believe the science and thus did not fix the problem. And so it seems that more teachers, and students were exposed to Dirty Electricity and the resulting increase in chances of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide.
Dr Milham has worked closely with Stetzer Electric and promotes the use of their Dirty Electricity filters. This is just Dr Milham finding the DE problem and Stetzer providing a fix.
Note – Normal DE as measured by the Stetzer filters is 50 G/S units. Dr Milham has measured DE as high as 20,000 G/S units. And of course there were many health problems associated with these sites.
1 – Purchase (or Borrow) the book and read it cover to cover. I found it quite readable. And it is not that expensive – $15 or less. If you believe that Dr Milham is correct in his findings, then you will know what you have to do.
2 – Measure the DE – Purchase (or borrow) a Stetzerizer meter and measure the DE in your house and other work spaces. Test especially in areas where there might be lots of power transformers or near-by cell towers.
3 – Install DE Filters – If you have elevated Stetzer G/S reading, say 250 or more, then purchase 10 – 20 filters to eliminate most of the DE. This may cost $200-$300 but also may decrease your chances of cancer and related health problems. Note that there are other manufacturers of DE filters. Do your due diligence about what is best to get and go for it. Lots of stuff on the web.
Nokia’s former Technology Chief, Matti Niemelä, was involved in the development the world’s first mobile phones, but fell seriously ill himself from mobile-phone microwave radiation.
In addition, he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Some studies suggest that radiation may increase the risk of even MS.
For Tampere-based Matti Niemelä, age 44, life was like in the movies when he as a young man was recruited to work for Nokia in 1997. The brilliant young man quickly advanced to become Nokia’s Chief Technology Officer for ten years, and was involved in developing the world’s first mobile phones, memory sticks and WLAN [Wi-Fi] connections.
