In May 2015, over 200 scientists signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal calling upon the United Nations in addition to World Health Organization to address the emerging populace wellness crisis related to jail Galvanic cell phones in addition to wireless devices in addition to infrastructure. Electromagnetic fields convey been classified every bit a possible carcinogen yesteryear the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) since 2012. And inwards 2016, the National Toxicology Program released suing the California Department of Public Health inwards 2016 for non releasing a jail Galvanic cell telephone radiations fact sail get-go developed inwards 2009. This trial led to the issuance of the Department’s Dec 2017 Guidance Document, How to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy from Cell Phones. Dr. Moskowitz concluded amongst thoughts on possibilities in addition to priorities inwards the policy arena.
Featured Speakers
Frank Barnes, PhD, received his B.S. from Princeton University inwards electrical applied scientific discipline inwards 1954 in addition to his M.S., engineering, in addition to PhD degrees from Stanford University inwards 1955, 1956, in addition to 1958. He joined the University of Colorado inwards 1959, where he was appointed a Distinguished Professor inwards 1997. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering inwards 2001 in addition to received the Gordon Prize 2004 for innovations inwards Engineering Education from the National Academy.
Dr. Barnes is a boyfriend of the Institute of Electrical in addition to Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in addition to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in addition to served every bit Vice President of IEEE for publications, Chairman of the Electron Device Society, President of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, in addition to U.S. Chair of Commission K-International Union of Radio Sciences (URSI). He in addition to his students convey built lasers, flash lamps, super conductors, avalanche photograph diodes in addition to other electron devices. Recently they convey been studying the effects of weak magnetic fields on radical concentrations in addition to changes inwards the increment charge per unit of measurement of cancers in addition to other cells.
De-Kun Li, MD, PhD, MPH, is a Senior Research Scientist at the Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California. Dr. Li completed his medical preparation in addition to master’s marking inwards Public Health at Shanghai Medical University in addition to therefore received his PhD inwards epidemiology from the University of Washington.
Dr. Li is a reproductive in addition to perinatal epidemiologist amongst extensive sense conducting epidemiologic studies examining in-utero exposures inwards relation to pregnancy outcomes in addition to early on childhood diseases, including childhood obesity in addition to asthma, preterm delivery, depression birthweight, nascency defects, miscarriage in addition to SIDS. He has to a greater extent than than 100 peer-reviewed publications, of which he first-authored 41 in addition to was the senior writer for approximately other 23. He has been invited to many NIH in addition to CDC written report sections to review grant applications. Recognized for his long-standing sense inwards international collaborative research, Dr. Li was invited yesteryear the U.S. National Academy of Science to evaluate Sino-US collaboration inwards bio-medical research. He has received to a greater extent than than 10 enquiry grants from federal agencies including NIH, CDC, FDA, in addition to AHRQ.
Dr. Li’s electrical current enquiry focuses on developmental origins of fetal in addition to childhood diseases which include exam of (1) in-utero environmental exposures including endocrine disruptors (e.g., BPA) in addition to electromagnetic fields (EMF), (2) security in addition to effectiveness of medication role during pregnancy, in addition to (3) gene-environment interactions. Throughout his professional person life, he has made of import contributions to the agreement of (a) factors associated amongst reduction inwards SIDS risk, (b) wellness effects due to exposure to EMF, (c) adverse effects of in-utero exposure to caffeine, (d) deport on of exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors, (e) run a peril in addition to compass goodness of treating maternal depression during pregnancy, (f) parental genetic contribution to the run a peril of preterm delivery, in addition to (g) benefits of treating herpes infection during pregnancy. Dr. Li has worked closely amongst the medical communities, especially OBGYN physicians, of Kaiser Permanente Northern California.
Joel Moskowitz, PhD, is Director of the Center for Family in addition to Community Health at the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Moskowitz has published extensively on smoking in addition to cancer prevention.
Since 2009 he has translated in addition to disseminated enquiry on the wellness effects of jail Galvanic cell telephone in addition to other wireless radiations exposure. He has served every bit an advisor to the Berkeley jail Galvanic cell telephone “right to know” ordinance in addition to to the successful lawsuit against the California Department of Public Health led to the release of jail Galvanic cell telephone security guidance that had been suppressed since 2009.
Since 2013, his website has had over 1.5 1000000 page views yesteryear visitors from to a greater extent than than 200 countries, which attests to the worldwide draw of piece of job concern almost the deport on of wireless radiations on our health. The Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists presented him amongst the 2018 James Madison Freedom of Information Award.
This webinar was moderated yesteryear Antoinette Stein, PhD, coordinator of the CHE EMF ScienceServ. It lasted for lxx minutes in addition to was recorded for the telephone telephone in addition to webinar archive.
