Electrosmog goes under Swiss microscope

The effects of electromagnetic pollution on people's health and the environment will be the focus of a new scientific research program in Switzerland, reports NZZ.

"The government announced that it would grant SFr5 million ($4.33 million) for the four-year project, which hopes to answer some of the questions raised by consumers.

The research will concentrate on the effects of non-ionising radiation on humans and their surroundings.

Non-ionising radiation is emitted from mobile phones and transmission masts. Whether this "electrosmog" is harmful to people's health is still being debated by specialists the world over.

Research into this area has so far provided inconclusive results, although some results have suggested a possible risk."
