This quote is from an interview with Dr. Devra Davis, PhD., an
epidemiologist, chairman of Environmental Health Trust, former Senior
Adviser to the Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of
Health and author of over 190 publications, books and journals ranging
from The Lancet and the Journal of the American Medical Association, Scientific American and The New York Times. 4.An Evaluation of the Potential Carcinogenicity
of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs): Environmental Protection Agency, Draft
Report, June 1990. See also "EPA Staff Classifies ELF MMFs "Probable Carcinogens," Microwave News, May-June Issue 1990. 5. EPA documents from the 70s and 80s indicate that agency scientists were
anxious to establish protective national RF/microwave exposure guidelines after
animal studies produced ample cause for concern. But by 1995, Congress was
fully co-opted by the wireless radiation industry and the Senate
Committee on Appropriations cut the EPA’s budget for radiological
oversight, stating: “The committee believes [the EPA] should not engage
in [electromagnetic field research and monitoring] activities.” This shunted absolute control
of
RF/microwave exposure guidelines and antenna siting policies into the
hands of five political appointees who operate the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), a "captured" agency with virtually no
public health
expertise.

al., 1982, showing that RF/microwave radiation enhances the growth of spontaneous
mammary tumors. In June 1990, the EPA stated in its report titled An Evaluation of the Potential Carcinogenicity of Electromagnetic Fields that numerous animal studies by Szmigielski showed that RF radiation: "enhances the growth of spontaneous mammary tumors...enhances the growth of skin tumors...and enhances the growth rate of transplanted lung carcinoma cells, an effect attributed to the lowering of cell-mediated immunity." The
Wireless Radiation Industry has, without conscience or restraint,
placed this noxious radiation in the hands of America's tiniest children
with full knowledge that it is a virulent cancer-promoting agent. 14. "Study Shows How Radiation Causes Breast Cancer," Natural News,
