To understand why EMF–health research never seems to make much progress, check out what happened to Reba Goodman when she made some major breakthroughs. A former professor at Columbia University, Goodman died last year.
It’s a long and troubling story.

Don McRee died on July 28 at the age of 90.
He joined #NIEHS in 1969 and became the in-house expert on microwave health impacts. For many years, he ran the US-USSR MW cooperative research program. He retired in 1995 and joined George Carlo at WTR.

Evidence reveals #RF exposures may be genotoxic and could pose a cancer risk. Exposure duration & real-world signals are most important factors influencing genotoxicity, warranting further research to address. We support precautionary measures.

No effect of 2.4 & 5.8 GHz #RF on flower visitation rates by honey bees. But there was a “significant reduction” in visits by bumble bees when the plants were exposed to the RF.
The exact mechanism “is not yet clear.”
The research was self-funded.

In an unsigned opinion, BfS, the German radiation protection office, has rejected WHO’s systematic review which found credible and reliable evidence that #RF radiation causes cancer in animals.
BfS is the chief sponsor of ICNIRP which has long dismissed the cancer link.
