In the last few years I’ve heard ever more people question the potential risk posed by what’s become known as ‘electrosmog’. I’ve always been very sceptic towards it. Never really believing it could have any significant effect. I’ve studied physics for almost two years, so it wasn’t really hard for me to argue against it, since somehow all the people I’ve met didn’t have any strong arguments. I mostly cited one of my profs who once said:”As far as I know, the effect that could have any significance to humans has yet to be discovered.” In response to a student asking him whether he believed using cell phones posed any risk. Until today this and explaining the magnitude of the radiation and comparing it to known extremes were the strongest arguments used. But browsing the web I came across a press release of a research conducted in The Netherlands with strong evidence arguing GSM and UMTS pose no risk (Dutch).
