Wireless Companies Are Fully Aware of the Harmful Effects  

(and have been for years) 

Leading phone makers Nokia, Ericsson  and Motorola and telecom companies such as Swisscom have created components to protect users from the radio frequency radiation emitted by handsets . They have filed patents. They have activly worked to surpress the science.  Read on. 

In a 1994 Motorola memo—obtained and published by the New York–based Microwave News—a corporate communications employee discussed how the company could discredit Dr. Lai’s findings of DNA damage from cell phones. The memo concludes, “I think that we have sufficiently war-gamed the Lai-Singh issue, assuming the Scientific Advisory Group and CTIA have done their homework.”

The Swisscom Patent to Reduce Electromagnetic Radiation from Wireless Networks (2004)

 "These findings indicate that the genotoxic effect of electromagnetic radiation is elicited via a non-thermal pathway."

This patent has an acknowledgement that the radiation at low levels -non thermal levels- leads to harmful effects, including an increased risk of cancer. Click to Download It




Manufacturers Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia have been patenting shields and other devices to reduce radiation exposure for decades.​


Nokia

Nokia filed a patent on July 28, 1998, (and 1995) according to the U.S. patent office. The patent contains a description for the creation of a device that would protect the cells in a user’s head from radiation.

  • “It has been suggested that radio frequency irradiation may stimulate extra growth among supportive cells in the nerve system, which in the worst case it has been suggested could lead to a development of a malignant tumor,” 


Ericsson

Ericsson spokesperson Michael Westmark told Reuters that the patents were designed to improve the performance of mobile phones by reducing the radio waves they use, not specifically to prevent brain tumors, and denied the inventions were an admission that using the company’s phones presented a health hazard.
