The BioInitiative Working Group submitted extensive comments to SCENHIR in spring of 2014 on their Draft Opinion on Potential Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and provided detailed reasoning and evidence supporting the need for corrections in the Final Report. + BIWG SCENIHR Rebuttal to Opinion (DOWNLOAD PDF) In January of 2015, SCENIHR (Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks) issued a Final Opinion titled Potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF), 27 January 2015. It ignores or dismisses the majority of comments provided. No substantive [...]
The BioInitiative Working Group is pleased to announce a new feature on this website called ‘What’s New’. From time to time, we will post new information that is of interest to our readers. This may include updated technical chapters, BioInitiative Working Group expert comments on scientific reviews, perspective pieces and individual commentaries, letters and press releases from the BioInitiative Working Group and important new developments on electromagnetic radiation issues. In March and April, 2014, we updated four sections of the BioInitiative 2012 Report. Section 1: Summary for the Public is [...]

Henry Lai’s Research Summaries Research Summaries have been updated in 2022 for genetic, neurological and free radical (oxidative damage) studies. They are subdivided to show ELF-EMF/static field from RFR studies. New graphics for each of the 2022 updates detail the number of studies showing ‘effect vs no effect’. A clear majority of studies report biological effects as opposed to ’no effect’. Electrohypersensitivity studies and comet assay studies were not updated in 2022. RFR Research Summary (1990-2017) Genetic Effects of Non-Ionizing EMF Abstracts (2022) Genetics Effects Studies Percent Comparison Graphic 2022 [...]

The stakes are very high. Human beings are bioelectrical systems. Our hearts and brains are regulated by internal bioelectrical signals. Environmental exposures to artificial EMFs can interact with fundamental biological processes in the human body. In some cases, this may cause discomfort, or sleep disruption, or loss of wellbeing (impaired mental functioning and impaired metabolism) or sometimes, maybe it is a dread disease like cancer or Alzheimer’s disease. It may be interfering with ones’ ability to become pregnant, or carry a child to full term, or result in brain development [...]

BioInitiative 2012 Report Issues New Warnings on Wireless and EMF BioInitiative 2012 Report Issues New Warnings on Wireless and EMF University at Albany, Rensselaer, New York / Embargoed until January 7, 2013 A new report by the BioInitiative Working Group 2012 says that evidence for risks to health has substantially increased since 2007 from electromagnetic fields and wireless technologies (radiofrequency radiation). The Report reviews over 1800 new scientific studies. Cell phone users, parents-to-be, young children and pregnant women are at particular risk. There is a consistent pattern of increased risk [...]
