An exploration of the health effects of radiofrequency radiation from wireless devices such as cell phones and from the antennas which service them. 65,000 cell phones are being sold each day in the U.S. alone. Worldwide, there are estimated to be 1 billion users. The antennas which broadcast the microwave signals to service these phones are mounted contiguously throughout urban and rural areas.

Though the exact scientific understanding of the mechanism of harm still remains unknown, growing numbers of independent scientific studies appear to show that bio-effects of low level RFR exposure like that emitted by cell phones and cell phone towers include: attention span deficit, memory loss, infertility, childhood & adult leukemia, eye cancer, weakened blood-brain barrier, lowered reaction time, immune system effects, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, depression, melatonin/seratonin imbalance, calcium efflux disruption, abnormal cell growth promotion and DNA damage. Additionally, microwaves interact unpredictably with the chemicals and heavy metals in the body.

PUBLIC EXPOSURE was produced by award-winning human rights and environmental issue filmmakers James Heddle and Mary Beth Brangan, of the Ecological Options Network (EON) and co-produced by Libby Kelley, national organizer and Director of Council on Wireless Technology Impacts, CWTI. The film can be ordered from EON: (415) 868-1900 or from CWTI: (415) 892-1863.

In late October, 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an apeal by cell phone makers, alowing class action lawsuits to proceed against cell phone makers over radiation emissions.
