Dr. Devra Davis made a proposal to the U.S Government to investigate the health effects of cell phone radiation as the EPA was defunded in 2009 from developing safety standards for the US public.
In 2009, Environmental Health Trust President Dr. Devra Davis proposed to a U.S.Senate hearing a small monthly fee of 2 cents on all wireless devices, their manufacturers, and network providers, to fund a 4-part program: 1) establish major interdisciplinary training programs in bio electromagnetics in schools of medicine, Public Health, engineering and other related fields; 2) fund independent research on health and environmental effects of wireless devices; 3) create monitoring programs to identify adverse impacts; and 4) promote innovations in premarket safety testing, public education, and public policy. These programs shall be independent of conflicts of interests.
