In this video, Dr. Martin Blank, EMF researcher and co-author Of The Bioinitiative Report, presents findings that link electromagnetic radiation with health problems, particularly brain tumors and cancer. One study mentioned (Hardell et al, 2008) found a 10-year latency period whereby people who use a wireless phone (cell phone or cordless phone) for 10 years or more on the same side of the head have 2-3 times more likelihood of developing glioma. Particularly vulnerable are young people (<20 years old) who are found to have 5 times increased risk of developing the tumor.

Also interesting is the discrepancy in the results of studies between those sponsored by the wireless industry and those that are not. Industry-supported studies tend to lean towards results that show cell phone radiation has no effect (68% no effect vs. 32% effect). Whereas studies independent of industry support show the exact opposite (30% no effect vs. 70% effect).

The talk also covers the risk ratio for childhood cancers in relation to distance from a radiofrequency (RF) antenna, which shows high risk of cancer from antennas with power density below current safety standards.
