The Dangers of EMFs

by

We interviewed Dr. Devra Davis, founder and president of the Environmental Health Trust, about the dangers of EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies). Please note that you will be asked to enter your email address at the 30-minute mark to finish viewing the video.


In This Webinar

Electronic devices are both a blessing and a curse. They’re extremely convenient and useful, yet they pose a risk to our health, especially to the health of a developing child. In this webinar, Dr. Davis discussed the dangers of EMFs and what you can do lower your family’s health risk from them.

About Devra Davis PhD MPH

Devra Davis founded the non-profit Environmental Health Trust in 2007 to provide basic research and education about environmental health hazards and promote constructive policies locally, nationally and internationally.

Dr. Davis is the author of Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation; The Secret History of the War on Cancer; and When Smoke Ran Like Water: Tales of Environmental Deception and the Battle Against Pollution.
