Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Biological and Health Effects and The MUOS Case

Sufficient evidence of an increased risk from exposure to Electro-Magnetic Fields comes from epidemiological studies, in particular regarding adverse acute effects and even long-term carcinogenic effects that cannot be attributed to chance, bias or confounding. The MUOS (Mobile User Objective System) station in Niscemi (Sicily, Italy) is part of a worldwide network of telecommunications of the U.S. Army: the network consists of three other similar stations (two in the U.S. and one in Australia) and a fleet of satellites. Our study presents the results of electromagnetic radiation models in that area and documents the scientific reasons why the MUOS system should not be installed in Niscemi for safety reasons.
