Summary:
Keys, wallet,

phone. ready to go!
Cell
phones
have become ubiquitous fixtures of 21st century life--suctioned to our ears and stuck in our pockets. Yet, we've all heard whispers that these essential little
devices
give you brain cancer. Could it be true? In 2011, the World Health Organization shocked the international community by confirming that the radiation from
cell
phones
is a possible carcinogen to humans. Martin Blank notes that while the presumption of innocence is invaluable to the system of justice, it does not make sense as a public health standard. Overpowered brings readers, in accessible and fascinating prose, through the
science
, indicating biological effects resulting from low, non-thermal levels of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (levels considered safe by regulatory agencies). Radiation that comes not only from
cell
phones
, but many
other
devices
we use in our homes and offices every day. It is generally accepted that there should be a limit on exposure of the public to EMF. However, industry pushes the envelope. Dr. Blank advises applying the precautionary principle when it comes to demonstrably hazardous EMF--and teaches
us
how we can take steps in our daily lives to reduce exposures. In this incredibly timely book, he arms
us
with the information we need to keep ourselves and our families safe. -- Provided by publisher.
