Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2010 from Powerwatch

Many thanks to all of you who have taken an interest in the debate around electromagnetic fields throughout 2010. As the year closes, we've seen the end of the second phase of the Stakeholder Advisory Group on Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields, an insightful new book published by Devra Davis, the beginnings of evidence that even the Interphone data is showing a potential long term health risk from phone use, IARC identifying melatonin disruption as a probable carcinogen (and one the has been linked to EMF exposure), and another 150 or so new scientific papers of interest.

It's good to see so much research being carried out on such an important topic, and we hope that 2011 will progress our state of knowledge further still, so that policy makers can adopt reasoned guidance and the general public can make informed decisions for their own use. In the meantime, it's time to enjoy the festive period at the end of the year and make the most of the break and the weather.

From all of us at Powerwatch, we wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and healthy start to 2011.
