All wireless devices use pulse modulated electromagnetic (EM)
transmissions over multiple frequencies to transfer data. This is
known as microwave radiation. For the past forty years doctors and
scientists throughout the world have been reporting that certain levels
of microwave radiation are not safe for humans.
Early studies (in the table below) reported these biological effects.
Since then, more extensive research has reported further negative
effects at lower exposure levels. Scientists have documented that
exposure to microwave radiation fields over time has negative effects
on people and animals. In recognition of this a number of safety
standards have been set for exposure levels.
Unfortunately, very few people understand the safety standards or
their own exposure levels. Since these studies have been done, our
environment now contains more active sources of microwave
radiation than ever before and not many people know which devices
emit microwave radiation. Cell towers; mobile phones; wireless
routers; wireless laptops; tablets and wireless headsets are but few.
According to researchers, the average person now receives more
than 100 000 times the microwave radiation that our grandparents
received.
What is microwave radiation and why is it bad for you?
Brett West
General Manager
Brett spent his first four working years as a Fire and Rescue
emergency medical technician in Cape Town, before moving to
London, UK and a specialist career in Information Technology.
After fifteen years in IT, while working as an interim Head of IT for
a major construction company, he was responsible for designing
and deploying wireless technology solutions to construction sites
around England. As part of a due diligence exercise, he
discovered alarming published research on the subject of wireless
technology and human biological effects. Since then he has
studied this field intensively, and is now focused on Training for
engineers and IT specialists who design and implement wireless
solutions, so that they can be informed of the safety guidelines.
Our Vision
Based in The United Kingdom, our mission is to
provide education and training for the safer use
of wireless technology and the reduction of
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation exposure.
It is our aim to present the latest key information relating to
microwave radiation, so that it’s easy to understand for everyone.
This includes children, teenagers, adults, parents, teachers, medical
staff, technology specialists, corporate risk managers and legal
teams. We will do so in multiple formats, languages and platforms
for global awareness.
Quite simply we visualise a day when:
Children are telling their parents that they should switch of the
wireless router or turn their mobile onto flight mode, because
they learned about these risks at school.
Teachers are learning EMF Safety as part of their continued
health & safety education.
A parent has easy access to information about the dangers of
wireless technology and microwave radiation exposure and is
able to make informed decisions about the use of their family’s
devices.
An IT Specialist works together with Occupational Health and
Facilities managers, before building smart WIFI working
environments in an office. They will assess the risks and ensure
all reasonable measures are taken to create a safer working
environment.
We work closely with the leading EM research institutions worldwide
to ensure that we are at the forefront of the latest research, and the
most recent legislative changes, in order to provide this crucial
information.
The wireless phenomenon has enveloped our world, its everywhere,
all the time. It’s in our schools, our homes, the workplace, in public
buildings and spaces, hotels, shops, trains and very soon it will be
used in our cars and in-flight on aeroplanes. This revolutionary
technology has enabled users easier access to devices and
technology, keeping us connected – limitless access without
boundaries. Whilst we embrace this technology with all its benefits,
research shows that is it not safe. Microwave radiation exposure is real
and the health effects are severe enough to make people ill.
Our focus as an organisation is to give you all the information you
need, so that you can make informed decisions when using your
wireless technology.

Development, having worked for 35 years in this field, and holding
more than 30 Patents. For a number of years he owned and
managed a microwave testing laboratory in Europe. He
specialises in complex technical projects at an enterprise level.
Gabriel is a true subject matter expert, providing Wireless Tech
Safety with advice and guidance.
Our People
Cece is a technical and professional writer by trade, who helped
the first public school district in the United States adopt Best
Practices for Mobile Devices. Cece also worked with her public
library to become the first in the nation to host a film series on
Electromagnetic Radiation and Health, and to put on loan a
microwave radiation detection meter for residents to borrow. She
further collaborated with legislators in Massachusetts to
introduce a bill addressing wireless radiation and public health.
Cece is humbled by the opportunity to help educate global
citizens through on-line course development and promotion with
Wireless Tech Safety.
