Environmental Health Sciences
WHEN: May 17 at 6:30 – 8:30 pm
WHERE: Wellness Visions, EES Center at 5327 Jacuzzi Street Suite 1A, Richmond, CA
Build your electromagnetic wellness routine to optimize sleep, reduce inflammation and support brain health.
EMF and wireless exposure is linked to a myriad of health effects from cancer to genetic effects to impacts on the reproductive, nervous and immune system.
The San Francisco 49ers EMF saga is raising questions about electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure and health, as investigations point to unusually high injury rates among players potentially linked to exposure to EMFs from surrounding electrical infrastructure (see Peter Cowan’s investigation).
From cell phones to 5G, emerging 6G, cell towers, and AI-driven data center power lines, everyday exposure to EMFs is increasing. Yet U.S. regulations have not been updated since 1996, and compared to other countries, the U.S. lags behind. There are no federal exposure limits for power line magnetic fields, while other countries have adopted policies to reduce exposure to levels associated with increased childhood cancer risk. U.S. policy permits the highest environmental levels of cell tower radiation, 10 to 100 times higher than limits in several other countries. A recent risk analysis by U.S. experts concluded U.S. limits needed to be reduced by at least 200 times to protect the public from increased cancer risk.
Scarato has recently published policy review papers on the urgent need for updated exposure limits and regulatory oversight to protect public health and wildlife.
In this presentation, Scarato will break down the latest science, law, and policy news.
🔹 Understand the science behind EMFs, 5G, and emerging 6G
🔹 Learn easy, practical ways to reduce everyday exposure
🔹 Get updates on the 49ers EMF saga, data centers, and federal cell tower fast-track proposals.
Walk away with simple, actionable steps to support your health and wellbeing.
About Theodora Scarato
Theodora Scarato, Director of the Wireless & EMF Program at Environmental Health Sciences, is a leading expert in environmental health policy who has worked on technology safety issues for well over a decade, including as an architect of a landmark federal lawsuit centering on U.S. cell tower, cell phone, and 5G radiation limits. Although the FCC was mandated by the court to address evidence it had ignored, including children’s vulnerability, impacts on wildlife, and long-term health effects, the agency has yet to act on the remand. Instead, it is moving forward with proposals to fast-track cell tower deployment by stripping local government control
Scarato has co-authored several scientific publications on EMF, health, and environment and serves as a Special Expert to the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF).
Recent publications: U.S. policy on wireless technologies and public health protection: regulatory gaps and proposed reforms,” which documents the history of wireless regulation in the US, the gaps, blind spots, loopholes, decades of regulatory capture, and freedom of information requests that show that the federal government is withholding safety information.
Flora and fauna—How nonhuman species interact with natural and man-made EMF at ecosystem levels and public policy recommendations with co-authors Blake Levitt, Henry Lai and Albert Manville focuses on the need to protect wildlife and ecosystems, with special attention to bees and other pollinators.
