Excerpts from Radiation Rescue

"There is a great public health risk: wireless communication technologies are a real danger, especially because of their unchecked growth, and the clear evidence of harm. Our young people, in particular, are at risk."
                  Professor Olle Johansson, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden

The radio-frequency signals from cell phones reach much more deeply into children's thinner skulls and smaller brains than ours. 
Professor Devra Davis, PhD

There is enough evidence to link this exposure to increased risk of cancer and therefore of a need to limit exposure, especially of children.
Martin Blank, PhD — Associate Professor of Physiology Cellular  Biophysics at Columbia University

In the spring of 2009, scientists in Europe and the USA were endorsing the BioInitiative Report and calling for world-wide health protection agencies and governments to urgently comply.

The following precautionary actions were proposed:

children under 16 should only use cordless and mobile phones in emergencies;

no Wi-Fi, WiMAX, or other wireless networking, be placed in homes, schools, or public areas; and

conduct independent, widely publicized, frequent audits to ensure base stations do not exceed newly warranted, biologically based guidelines.
