Wireless technology is a fundamental part of our modern world, but it may be causing more harm than we realize.

As of Jan. 1, 2019, an appeal letter sent to the United Nations signed by more than 250 scientists from a group called International EMF Scientist wrote that the radiation emitting from our phones and other wireless devices is “proven to be harmful to humans and the environment.” They pointed to effects such as cancer risk, a rise in harmful free radicals, genetic damage, structural and functional changes to the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and a negative impact on our general well-being.
