h.e.s.e.-UK News
h.e.s.e.-UK is new. Its aims are high, and to begin with we are gathering a body of independent scientists, many of who have proved controversial by being outspoken in inconvenient areas such as the effects of man-made electromagnetic fields on living things. In coming months you can watch our list of scientific advisors grow, and additions to our research resources grow.
Crucial to our aims is to create better access to the multilingual body of science, beginning with EM radiation. Mobile phones and wireless everything are an unavoidable part of modern western life, and yet huge controversy surrounds the wisdom of filling our environment with EM fields. An enormous amount of research literature is clear that life is harmed by this, and yet English reviewers rarely venture beyond their native language.
The European h.e.s.e. project has benefitted from research that remains inaccessible to UK authorities and interested parties. We intend to raise interest and financial resources to translate and make them available.
Global co-operation between scientists and research groups is needed in the face of global industrial influence. Here in the UK much has been made of the influence of mobile phone companies and their association on politicians, forming arguments not about safety, but how to overcome opposition and allay fears.
h.e.s.e.-UK is not a campaign, nor a lobbying group, but it will be presenting researched scientific argument to illustrate that corporate presentations of safety are wholly inadequate.
