Limiting liability with positioning to minimize negative health effects of cellular phone towers

December 4, 2019
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2019.108845 Extract only, for more see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0013935119306425?via%3Dihub Although direct causation of negative human health effects from RFR from cellular phone base stations has not been finalized, there is already enough medical and scientific evidence to warrant long-term liability concerns for companies deploying cellular phone towers. In order to protect cell phone tower firms from the ramifications...

Siting cell towers needs careful planning

December 4, 2019
Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/12/191203162553.htm Date: December 3, 2019 Michigan Technological University Summary:  The health impacts of radio-frequency radiation (RFR) are still inconclusive, but the data to date warrants more caution in placing cell towers. An engineering team considers the current understanding of health impacts and possible solutions, which indicate a 500-meter (one third of a mile) buffer...

Review: A Comparative Study on Current Outdoor Lighting Policies in China and Korea: A Step toward a Sustainable Nighttime Environment

November 29, 2019
Sustainability 2019, 11(14), 3989; https://doi.org/10.3390/su11143989 Abstract Light pollution is a serious environmental issue with many adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem as a whole. Accordingly, many countries have issued laws and regulations to limit the effects of artificial lighting at night (ALAN). The Republic of Korea and China are among the few countries that have drafted...

Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance

November 29, 2019
Source: SMJ Mortazavi https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6605927873914130432/ Accumulating evidence reveals that exposure of bacteria to a wide variety of physical stressors ranging from ultrasound to ionizing and non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation can make them resistant to antibiotics. A study conducted recently showed that the exposure of E. coli DH5α to Wi-Fi radiofrequency radiation for 5 hours influenced several bacterial cellular and...

Exposure to the magnetic field from an induction loop pad for a hearing aid system.

November 24, 2019
Int J Occup Saf Ergon. 2017 Mar;23(1):143-145. doi: 10.1080/10803548.2016.1226597. Epub 2016 Sep 19. Abstract As a case study we have measured the magnetic field from an induction loop pad designed for hearing aid assistance. The magnitude of the field was high, although well below international guidelines. We recorded values up to 70% of the recommended standard...
