Read the Fine Print—pesticides, solvents, and cell-phone radiation—important male-mediated teratogens and endocrine disruptors

“We don’t want to believe that our new toys to which we are so attached—and which bring in enormous profits—could also cause our demise or that of our children. But science is not about belief. Governments’ responsibility to their citizens should not be either.”
-David Servan-Schreiber, MD PhD, 1951-2011, preface to Disconnect

Why Parents and Children Should Practice Safe Phone

Environmental Health Topics

Children are growing up in a sea of radiofrequency radiation that has never existed in human history. In America today, about twenty million children under the age of fourteen have cellphones. Increasingly, scientists and policy makers in tech savvy nations like Israel and Finland are concerned that the ways these devices are used imperil the brain. The iPhone plastic baby rattle case protects the phone’s glass screen from cracking when chomped on by teething babies, but does not protect the infant’s young brain from the phone’s pulsed digital microwave radiation.
