Environmental Electromagnetic field and Female Fertility
By Leila Roshangar and Jafar Soleimani
"There is no doubt that cell damages are the basis of all disorders occurs after EMF exposure. In support of our findings Sandra et al/ (Sandra et al. 2000) suggested that EMF-exposure might impair mammalian female reproductive potentiality by reducing the capacity of the follicles to reach a developmental stage that is an essential pre requisite for reproductive success...
...our results suggest that apoptosis plays a critical role in the degeneration of ovarian cortical tissue, luminal epithelium, glandular epithelium and stromal cells in uterus and luminal epithelium in fallopian tube. The present EMF-exposure model can be used when striving to find ways to improve the viability of ovarian tissue in order to grow follicles for subsequent IVF treatment, and or to protect reproductive organs from EMF effect. ..."

Maternal exposure to magnetic fields during pregnancy in relation to the risk of asthma in offspring
NLi, DK, Chen H, Odouli R
Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente, Canada
Asthma was clinically diagnosed among 626 children who were followed up for as long as 13 years. All participants carried a meter to measure their MF levels during pregnancy.
RESULTS: ...an increased risk of asthma in offspring: every 1-mG increase of maternal MF level during pregnancy was associated with a 15% increased rate of asthma in offspring. ...compared with the children whose mothers had a low MF level (median 24-hour MF level, ≤0.3 mG) during pregnancy, children whose mothers had a high MF level (>2.0 mG) had more than a 3.5-fold increased rate of asthma ... while children whose mothers had a medium MF level (>0.3-2.0 mG) had a 74% increased rate of asthma.
CONCLUSION:
Our findings provide new epidemiological evidence that high maternal MF levels in pregnancy may increase the risk of asthma in offspring.

Effect of cell phone usage on semen analysis in men attending infertility clinic: an observational study.
By Agarwal A, Deepinder F, Sharma RK, Ranga G, Li J.

Three hundred sixty-one men undergoing infertility evaluation were divided into four groups according to their active cell phone use: group A: no use; group B: <2 h/day; group C: 2-4 h/day; and group D: >4 h/day.
The comparisons of mean sperm count, motility, viability, and normal morphology among four different cell phone user groups were statistically significant. Mean sperm motility, viability, and normal morphology were significantly different in cell phone user groups within two sperm count groups. The laboratory values of the above four sperm parameters decreased in all four cell phone user groups as the duration of daily exposure to cell phones increased.
CONCLUSION(S): Use of cell phones decrease the semen quality in men by decreasing the sperm count, motility, viability, and normal morphology. The decrease in sperm parameters was dependent on the duration of daily exposure to cell phones and independent of the initial semen quality.

A Possible association between Fetal/neonatal Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation and the Increased incidence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
"...Previously, the incidence of autism has been reported as 4-5 per 10,000 children. The most recent evidence indicates an increased incidence of about 1 per 500 children. ... It is suggested that fetal or neo-natal exposures to radiofrequency radiation may be associated with an increased incidence of autism."

A case-control study of childhood leukemia in Southern Ontario, Canada, and exposure to magnetic fields in residences
Lois Mm. Green, A B Miller, P J Villeneuve, D A Agnew, M L Greenberg, J Li, et al
"For children younger than 6 years at diagnosis, outside perimeter measurements of the residence, ≥0.15 μT (1.5mG), were associated with increased leukemia risk. ... Our findings did not support an association between leukemia and proximity to power lines with high current configuration."

Exposure to Magnetic Fields and Survival after Diagnosis of Childhood Leukemia: A German Cohort Study

Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, Danish Cancer Society, Copenhagen, Denmark
"Inspired by a recent U.S. study showing poorer survival among children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) exposed to magnetic fields above 0.3 μT, we examine this relationship in a German cohort of childhood leukemia cases... After adjustment for prognostic risk group, the hazard for exposures above 0.2 μT (2mG) increases to HR, 3.0 (95% CI, 0.9-9.8)." (300% increase)

"...The odds ratio for children whose bedrooms had MF levels of 0.4 microT or higher compared with the reference category (MF levels below 0.1 microT) was 2.6 (95% CI=0.76-8.6) for AML (Acute myelocytic leukemia) + ALL (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia) and 4.7 (1.15-19.0) for ALL only.
Ed: 2.6 means 160% more likely. 4.7 means 370% more likely.

Research Data in regards to EMF/EMR/Electronic Pollution - Fertility, Pregnancy, Miscarriage, Birth defects and child development & behaviour
Don't take our word for it. Have a look through the research that is available and decide for yourself if Electronic Pollution is a health burden. Our experience is that many homes and bedrooms are affected. The good news is Geovital Academy can often fix this with inspiring results even in cases of already developed chronic illness. Please, don't let things develop at all, make your home healthier now!
