Science and Research
There is mounting evidence worldwide, contained in reputable peer reviewed and published studies and journals, showing adverse effects from low-frequency, radiofrequency fields. These effects apply not just to humans, but to wildlife and the natural environment as well.
Governmental health, environment and wildlife protection agencies are reluctant to recognize new studies as relevant, claiming that more research is needed over an extended period of time before any protective measures need to be taken.
There is already substantial and compelling research in this field. In view of the unprecedented speed with which wireless technologies are being deployed and adopted, many highly respected scientists have repeatedly presented credible, insightful, brave and forward-looking evidence with minimal funding or support. Based on results and careful observation, they are saying that strong evidence warrants caution.
Just as harm from wireless technologies has not been proven to the satisfaction of our present governments, neither have they ever been proven to be safe. Due to the fact that there are no unaffected populations left, there can be no "control" for traditional experimentation.
Until such time as wireless technologies and infrastructure are proven to be safe, our old paradigm is sorely lacking.

Effect of GSM Mobile Phone Radiation on Reproductive Capacity
Global System for Mobile Communication - effects on the reproductive biology of insects (Drosophila Melanogaster)
This work was supported by the Special Account for Research Grants of the University of Athens.
"Pulsed radio frequency, (RF), electromagnetic radiation from common GSM
mobile phones, (Global System for Mobile Telecommunications) with a carrier
frequency at 900 MHz, ''modulated'' by human voice, (speaking emission)
decreases the reproductive capacity of the insect Drosophila melanogaster by
50%-60%, whereas the corresponding ''nonmodulated'' field (nonspeaking
emission) decreases the reproductive capacity by 15%-20%. The insects were
exposed to the near field of the mobile phone antenna for 6 min per day during
the first 2-5 days of their adult lives. The GSM field is found to affect both
females and males. Our results suggest that this field-radiation decreases the rate
of cellular processes during gonad development in insects . . .
"The statistical analysis clearly shows that the exposed Drosophila groups differ
in offspring production (up to 60% decrease), compared to the control groups, due
to the effect of the GSM field . . ."
