Electromagnetic Phenomena and Health - A Continuing Controversy?

10 September 2008, Institute of Physics, London, UK

Leading international speakers debate this important issue. Tickets are still available but need to be purchased by Friday 5th September.

Powerwatch is a non-profit independent organisation with a central role in the UK Electromagnetic Field and Microwave Radiation health debate. We work closely with decision-makers in government and business, and with other like-minded groups, promoting policies for a safer environment.

We have been researching electromagnetic field effects on health for the last 20 years, and provide a range of information to help the general public understand this complex issue.

If you feel that the work we do is worthwhile, and would like to support our efforts, please consider taking out a Powerwatch subscription. This helps financially support the time we spend keeping on top of current EMF issues and providing the information that we do. In return, you get full access to our publications and material that has come from years of research and put into a clear, easy to understand format. To see a full list including a description of what is in the subscription section, please have a look through our document library. A subscription also entitles you to ask specific questions on the subscriber forum that enable you to have expert feedback for no extra cost.

"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

The Daily Express covered a story on the weekend linking the increased number of suicides in Bridgend (Wales) to living proximity to mobile phone base stations. Whilst it would be useful to all to have a sound possible cause for the localised increase in suicide rate, it is extremely unlikely to have anything to do with the base stations.
