New wireless networks – including cell towers and small cells mounted on utility poles – are being erected in national parks, wilderness areas, and urban and suburban ecosystems increasing ambient levels of nonionizing radiofrequency radiation. A landmark three-part review, “Effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields on flora and fauna,” authored by B. Blake Levitt, National Association of Science Writers; Henry C. Lai, PhD., University of Washington professor emeritus and former Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine editor-in-chief; and Albert M. Manville II, PhD., retired senior wildlife biologist at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, documents 1,200 studies indicating a myriad of harmful effects to wildlife even at very low exposure levels. The authors found that all animal species were affected.
This webinar features presentations by two co-authors of the above review:
- Albert M. Manville II PhD.,is a retired senior wildlife biologist at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Senior Lecturer and Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University.
- B. Blake Levitt is an award-winning medical/science journalist, author, and editor who has researched the biological effects of nonionizing radiation since the late 1970’s. She has participated in congressional briefings and published numerous peer-reviewed articles in the field.
In addition, scientists and policy experts will highlight their critical research and the regulatory issues that frame the current state of affairs:
- Daniel Favre, PhD., Wildlife Biologist, will present his research,“Mobile phone-induced honeybee worker piping.”
- Dr. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam will presenther study on the impact of radiofrequency radiation to trees along with an updated report on her latest research.
- Erica Rosenberg, retired Assistant Chief of the Competition and Infrastructure Policy Division at the Federal Communications Commission will share highlights of her articleEnvironmental Procedures at the FCC: A Case Study in Corporate Capture.
- Devra Davis PhD., MPH, President of Environmental Health Trust and Theodora Scarato, Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust,will give an update on the EHT et al. lawsuit against the FCC related to wildlife impacts and a summary of international policy.
