Israel is implementing strong precautions to measure and reduce public exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Its National Activity Report 2015 advises that: magnetic fields were measured in 4800 schools and action was taken to reduce fields in locations that measured more than 4 milliGauss [Australian limits allow exposure to 1000 mG]; ten types of mobile phones were measured for SAR [Specific Absorption Rate] and results showed that, when phones were held close to the head

ELF fields (from electrical sources) Pituitary Power frequency magnetic fields had a harmful effect on the pituitary gland, which links the nervous and endocrine systems and releases a range of hormones. Serbian researchers exposed rats for one day, 7 days or 3 months and observed changes in the volume and nature of pituitary cells, concluding that exposure could be considered a stressor.

For more than a decade there’s been convincing evidence that exposure to electromagnetic radiation changes brain wave patterns during sleep. Now there’s evidence that such changes can be linked to diabetes. A study published in the January issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science in the US has found that depression of slow-wave sleep affects insulin production and increases risk of diabetes.

Magnetic fields from the electrical network can not only damage the DNA of brain cells, but the effects can be cumulative. These are some of the findings of recent studies by US researchers Drs Henry Lai and Narendra Singh. The Lai and Singh team first showed that magnetic fields from electricity could have genetic effects in 1997 when they found that a 60 Hz field of 0.1 - 0.5 mT produced single-strand and double-strand breaks in the DNA of rats’ brain cells.
