'Potential Wireless Power Health Issues'

Potential Wireless Power Health Issues

As I mentioned in the Energy Sources section about the 2007 Nano-Power Forum , there are concerns of how Wireless Power Sources may impact the health of those near operating units.

Louis Slesin of Microwave News states:

"It's become axiomatic that wide acceptance of non-thermal effects will come from developing biomedical therapies rather than from studying potential hazards. The health effects work is mostly sponsored by those who don't want to find any. And they usually don't..."

Slesin points to NovoCure's use of weak 100-200 kHz electric fields, which the company call Tumor Treating Fields or TTFields to stunt the growth of cancer cells, as one of many examples in the revival of the old field of Electromedicine.

The 100-200 kHz range used by NovoCure is also one of the areas used for RFID tags centered at 125 kHz.

Cellular Research - Cell Phone Convenience or 21st Century Plague?, compiled by Dr. Nick Begich and the late James Roderick, give a detailed background on the issue, especially in the nine-two references cited throughout the paper.
