Electromagnetic pollution

Electronic smog
Electronic noise
Intermittent electrical signals

Nature

Electronic smog occurs when electromagnetic waves from equipment like computers and electronic game machines or discharges of static electricity send signals to equipment causing it to malfunction.

Incidence

Such pollution has caused deaths and injuries. Airport radar screens have been jammed. Production line robots have functioned faultily. Roller coasters have crashed. Railway switches have malfunctioned and train doors have opened inadvertently. Computers can malfunction or lose their memories and their components damaged.

Claim

Electromagnetic pollution is an urgent and often overlooked crisis that threatens our health and environment. As our reliance on wireless technology skyrockets, so does our exposure to harmful electromagnetic fields. Scientific studies link these emissions to serious health issues, including cancer and neurological disorders. We must prioritize awareness and regulation to protect future generations from this invisible menace. Ignoring electromagnetic pollution is not an option; it is a pressing issue that demands immediate action and accountability.

Counter-claim

Electromagnetic pollution is vastly overstated and not a significant problem. The levels of electromagnetic fields we encounter daily, from cell phones to Wi-Fi, are well within safety guidelines established by health organizations. Scientific studies consistently show no conclusive evidence linking these fields to health issues. Focusing on this so-called pollution distracts from real environmental concerns, such as climate change and pollution from industrial waste. Let’s prioritize genuine threats rather than succumbing to unfounded fears.
