World Class Health Experts Discuss Public's Right to Know About Cell Phone Safety
Public Briefing on Electromagnetic Radiation Exposure. June 10th event is Part of Global Campaign to Launch showthefineprint.org – Invitation extended by Representative Stephen L. DiNatale
Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/10/2015 --The non-profit Environmental Health Trust will host a public briefing on June 10th featuring several world class experts in the area of electromagnetic (wireless) radiation. The experts will discuss new science about health risks associated with prolonged and frequent exposures, and the public's right to know about these risks. The briefing will begin at 2 PM in room 437 of the Massachusetts State House, 24 Beacon St, Boston. The event is free and open to the general public.
This briefing is part of an overall global initiative aimed to educate the public about manufacturers' health warnings for wireless devices. ShowTheFinePrint.org is a new campaign from the Environmental Health Trust designed to provide clear, science-based information to the public about health risks involved with wireless radiation. Currently, cell phone companies' literature instructs consumers to distance their phones away from their bodies (the minimum required distance varies by manufacturer). The new website ShowTheFinePrint.org provides radiation levels and warnings from all wireless devices such as phones, tablets and other devices.
Speakers:
Dr. Devra Davis, Scientist, author, and founder of the Environmental Health Trust (EHT)
Frank Clegg, CEO of Canadians for Safe Technology (C4ST) and former President of Microsoft Canada
Dr. Radhey Shyam Sharma, senior Indian government radiation expert and author
Catherine Steiner-Adair author of The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age

Mr. Clegg, CEO of Canadians for Safe Technology (C4ST) and former President of Microsoft Canada will discuss recent developments in Canada with respect to the federal parliament member's bill that is now being proposed.
Ms. Newton, President of EMR Policy Institute, will address the different standards internationally for telecommunication tower and antenna emissions and discuss why most emissions are out of compliance and not monitored.
Dr. Steiner-Adair, Ed. D., Clinical Psychologist, Consultant, Speaker and Author of The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age will discuss the social psychological observations of how the digital world is fundamentally undermining parenting of young children and their early education.
