Because Apple's iPhone 12 causes excessive radiation exposure, there is a threat of a recall in France. Wouldn't such measures also be necessary for other devices? After all, the effects of mobile phone radiation on humans have long been known. An Augsburg study took a close look at the effects on children and young people.
Despite the uneven playing field in the fight against mobile phone radiation, opponents of mobile phone installations in Switzerland have been able to score a legal victory. In Italy, scientists successfully protested against the increase in limit values. Studies show that electromagnetic radiation also has a negative effect on animals and plants.
The nomination for the European Inventor Award has brought new media attention to "Optical Wireless Communication" as an alternative to WLAN. At the same time, Prof. Dr. Fiorella Belpoggi, the "grande dame" of cancer research, speaks plainly about the consequences of cell phone radiation. A new book also finds clear words about the inability of politics and science to objectively analyze the issue.
Around two percent of the population are electro-hypersensitive, not including the number of unreported cases. However, their suffering is usually doubted.

Electromagnetic radiation, whether from high-voltage power lines or mobile phone antennas, not only affects human health, but also that of plants and animals. A new study shows the effects on bees.
Trust is good - control is better, or rather would be better if it could be carried out properly. Two cases from the Swiss cantons of Zurich and Schwyz point to shortcomings in the inspection of mobile phone installations.
The setting of limits for mobile phone radiation is increasingly coming under scientific and political scrutiny. A workshop in the European Parliament provided an insight into the effects of radiation exposure on people and the environment.
