This PubMed-listed article argues that ambient nonionizing EMF exposures (especially RF-EMF) have increased substantially over the past 60 years and are now pervasive, including from terrestrial networks and low-earth-orbit satellites. It claims these chronic, low-intensity exposures are biologically active and may disrupt critical functions in nonhuman species that rely on geomagnetic cues. The paper discusses nonhuman physiologies and proposes public policy recommendations for wildlife protection, including mitigation and creation of EMF-reduced zones during sensitive periods such as migration and breeding.
U.S. policy on wireless technologies and public health protection: regulatory gaps and proposed reforms
This policy-focused paper contends that U.S. oversight of radiofrequency radiation from wireless technologies is outdated and insufficient, with exposure limits and testing approaches not aligned with modern long-term, chronic exposure scenarios. It emphasizes gaps in protections for children, pregnancy, vulnerable populations, workers, and wildlife, and describes limited monitoring, research, and enforcement capacity. The author proposes reforms to improve independent research, science-based limits, surveillance, and regulatory transparency.
Flora and fauna: how nonhuman species interact with natural and man-made EMF at ecosystem levels and public policy recommendations
This review discusses how increasing ambient nonionizing EMF (0–300 GHz), particularly RF from modern wireless technologies and satellites, may affect flora and fauna at ecosystem levels. It states that many nonhuman species rely on electro/magneto-reception and that even low-intensity EMF exposures are capable of disrupting critical biological functions and behaviors. The authors conclude that current exposure standards focus on human health and recommend policy reforms and mitigation measures to protect wildlife and ecosystems.
Electromagnetic Interference in the Modern Era: Concerns, Trends, and Nanomaterial-Based Solutions
This review surveys the evolution, sources, and consequences of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in modern environments shaped by IoT, 5G, and smart devices. It discusses disruptions to electrical and medical devices, ecological impacts on wildlife, and potential risks to human health from EMI exposure. The paper emphasizes mitigation via advanced shielding materials, highlighting carbon-based nanomaterials as promising solutions.
