Environmental Health News reports on the recent Science study in which brief radiofrequency electromagnetic-field exposure disrupted the orientation of migratory bats for several hours after exposure ended. The article frames the finding as part of a wider wildlife question: artificial EMFs are expanding rapidly, while exposure rules are still designed mainly around human safety thresholds. The EHN piece follows earlier Microwave News coverage of the same Science paper.

"The widely anticipated increase of electromagnetic pollution as a consequence of urbanization trends and global proliferation of wireless technology may further add to the effects of anthropogenic climate change and land conversion by disrupting migratory movements of wildlife."

— Lindecke et al.

"electromagnetic noise has other effects on wildlife beyond perturbing animal orientation. Even low-intensity human-generated EMFs can affect internal processes such as metabolism, neurotransmission, and gene expression and disrupt the locomotor and foraging behavior, reproduction, and survival of species from multiple taxonomic groups."

— Alfonzo Balmori
