As winter arrives with a vengeance, the last of this year’s
glorious autumn leaves are falling in our parks and
woodlands. But this week came worrying evidence that Mother
Nature is not the only force denuding our trees of their
foliage.
Research in the Netherlands suggested that outbreaks of
bleeding bark and dying leaves which have blighted the
country’s urban trees may be caused by radiation from the
Wi-Fi ¬networks now so integral to life in offices, schools
and homes.

As a qualified electronics engineer, I am not surprised by
such findings. I have long been concerned about the harmful
effects of the ¬electro-magnetic radiation emitted not only
by Wi-Fi devices but many other common modern gadgets,
including mobile and cordless phones, wireless games
consoles and microwave ovens. Much though I love trees, and
worrying though I find this research, what really unnerves
me is the effect these electro-magnetic fields (or EMFs) are
having on humans, surrounding us as they do with a constant
cloud of ‘electrosmog’.
I am no Luddite. When I started work in the 1960s, I was
involved in building walkie-talkies. I thought they were
just brilliant and that electronic technology would save the
world. But over the decades since, my scientific background
has made it impossible for me to ignore the overwhelming
evidence about the damage wreaked by this electrosmog.
It is not the existence of these radio waves that is the
problem so much as the use we make of them. Rather than
being emitted at a constant rate, technology demands they
are ‘pulsed’ in short and frequent bursts which appear to be
far more biologically harmful.
Not the least is their impact on our ability to reproduce.
It is well documented that average male sperm counts are
falling by two per cent a year. Many causes have been
suggested, from stressful lifestyles to poor diet and
¬hormones in our water supplies.
But studies in infertility clinics show problems with sperm
dying off or not moving properly are most common in men who
use mobiles extensively. This has also been demonstrated in
the laboratory.
Mobiles are not the only problem. Many laptops are now
equipped with Wi-Fi which sends out pulses every second as
it maintains contact with the nearest access point. Young
men with these devices on their laps are submitting their
testicles to strong EMFs at close range, oblivious to the
damage they may be doing to their chances of future
fatherhood.
EMFS have also been shown to affect the brain, suppressing
production of melatonin, the hormone controlling whether we
feel happy or sad. In 2004, researchers at the University of
Malaga found that significant exposure to EMFs increases the
chances of developing depression 40-fold. They also linked
electrosmog to headaches, irritability, unusual tiredness
and sleeping disorders.
This has been confirmed in research by the respected
Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Sponsored by the leading
mobile phone companies, it showed that using handsets just
before going to bed caused people to take longer to reach
deeper stages of sleep. They also spent less time in each of
these stages, so interfering with the body’s ability to
repair damage suffered during the day.
This is particularly alarming given the tendency for
teenagers and children to sleep with their mobile phones
under the pillows so that they can answer late-night texts
from friends. Parents who allow their children to do so may
be taking a significant gamble with their health.
This year saw the publication of the Interphone study
carried out in 13 countries including the UK, and examining
the links between mobile phone use and brain tumours. It
suggested that those who had made heavy use of mobiles for a
decade or more faced twice the risk of glioma, the most
common type of brain tumour.
And this was a study based on the period between 1994 and
2004 when ‘heavy’ usage was defined as two to three hours
per month. A conservative estimate of average mobile phone
use now is approximately half an hour a day, seven days a
week.
