Issue 2 · May 2025

Issue 2 of EMF Physics reviews the basic science of electromagnetic fields and radiation, examines oxidative-stress mechanisms, explores strategies to lower SAR for 5G, evaluates multi-frequency SAR in modern smartphones, and exposes a high-profile institutional error in WHO’s EMF guidance.

• Editorial: Understanding the Jargon — EMFs and Radiation

  Most people don't know the basic science behind electromagnetic radiation and EMFs. Take a few minutes to learn the fundamentals of EMFs, the electromagnetic spectrum, and wave behavior in this review of the basics.

• Commentary: EMF Exposure and the Antioxidant Defense System

  Does EMF exposure cause disease, or are the effects over-hyped? Oxidative stress is one of the primary concerns of prolonged exposure, but what evidence is there, if any, to link this biological effect to negative health outcomes?

• Commentary: Reducing the Specific Absorption Rate for 5G Technologies

  Should we be concerned about our increased exposure to electromagnetic radiation due to the advent of 5G technologies? Is there anything that can be done to reduce our exposure?

• Commentary: Multiple Frequency Radio Wave Exposure SAR Evaluation

  Dual connectivity in smartphones uses multiple frequency bands in order to reduce latency and improve speed. However, how does this technology affect the absorption rate of electromagnetic radiation?

• SCIENCE WATCH ALERT: WHO Confuses Fields and Radiation

  A critique of the World Health Organization’s muddled explanation of electromagnetic fields and radiation, pointing out basic scientific errors that undermine public trust in their messaging.
