This quote is from an interview with Dr. Devra Davis, 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.

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.

13. Microwave News, May-June 1990. This information relates to studies by Szmigielski et 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.
