Environmental Health News reports: A new study published in ACS Nano found that magnetic fields from Bluetooth earbuds and cell phones increased accumulation of air pollution-derived magnetite nanoparticles in mouse brains by fivefold, leading to impaired spatial learning and memory deficits.

"The combined exposure increased accumulation of magnetite nanoparticles in the brain by about fivefold."

"Exposed mice showed impaired spatial learning and memory deficits."

"Governments should require rigorous premarket safety testing for new wireless technologies, along with ongoing medical surveillance and full public transparency for consumers about EMF emissions. Current gaps in U.S. regulations leave the public, especially children, without adequate safeguards."

— Theodora Scarato, Director of Wireless and EMF Program, Environmental Health Sciences
