Science, Public Health Policy and the Law, a journal website, republishes The Defender's report on the position statement from the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF). The statement, issued September 9, cites over 100 published studies documenting how EMFs at levels currently allowed by the FCC can harm human health, and says children are especially vulnerable. It urges schools to replace Wi-Fi with wired connections, store phones powered off in shielded containers, and keep students away from electrical equipment. The site notes the piece was originally published by The Defender and is included in its news feed by mutual agreement.

"Devices like tablets and cellphones emit EMFs via their wireless connections, electrical components and charging systems, the group said."

"Children can be more vulnerable than adults to the health impacts of wireless radiation because it penetrates deeper and has higher absorption rates in regions of a child's brain, and because their still-developing brains and physiological systems are more sensitive to environmental toxicants."

— ICBE-EMF position statement, quoted in the article

"Schools should be safe environments for learning. Yet, the widespread use of wireless technologies from Wi-Fi laptops and tablets to smartboards and cell phones has transformed classrooms into settings of chronic, unnecessarily high EMF exposure,"

— ICBE-EMF position statement, quoted in the article

"By acting now to reduce exposure and adopt safer technologies, we can better ensure technological progress does not come at the expense of the next generation's health and well-being,"

— ICBE-EMF position statement, quoted in the article

"The failure to update exposure limits for non-ionizing EMFs in the face of mounting scientific evidence portends a public health crisis, endangering children, families, and future generations worldwide,"

— ICBE-EMF position statement, quoted in the article
