Updated 10/18/20
The fetal stage of life is the most vulnerable to any toxic exposure. Kaiser researcher Dr. De-Kun Li (2017) performed a robust prospective cohort study of over 900 pregnant women revealing the strong association between exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation from a variety of sources and miscarriage with nearly a 3 fold increase risk. This study supports and strengthens prior research. He states, “This study provides fresh evidence, directly from a human population, that MF non-ionizing radiation could have adverse biological impacts on human health.”
