OVERPOWERED: WHAT SCIENCE TELLS US ABOUT THE DANGERS OF CELL PHONES AND OTHER WIFI-AGE DEVICES

Book ID/图书代码： 12070013B66280

English Summary/英文概要： Keys, wallet, cell phone . . . ready to go! Cell phones have become ubiquitous fixtures of 21st century life--suctioned to our ears and stuck in our pockets. Yet, we’ve all heard whispers that these essential little devices give you brain cancer. Could it be true? In 2011, the World Health Organization shocked the international community by confirming that the radiation from cell phones is a possible carcinogen to humans. Many of us are left wondering, as Maureen Dowd asked in the New York Times, are cells the new cigarettes?

Dr. Martin Blank notes that while the presumption of innocence is invaluable to the system of justice, it does not make sense as a public health standard. Overpowered brings readers, in accessible and fascinating prose, through the science, indicating biological effects resulting from low, non-thermal levels of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (levels considered safe by regulatory agencies). Radiation that comes not only from cell phones, but many other devices we use in our homes and offices every day.

It is generally accepted that there should be a limit on exposure of the public to EMF. However, industry pushes the envelope. Dr. Blank advises applying the precautionary principle when it comes to demonstrably hazardous EMF--and teaches us how we can take steps in our daily lives to reduce exposures. In this incredibly timely book, he arms us with the information we need to keep ourselves and our families safe.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： DNA損害、致癌、文明病、阿茲海默症、不孕症、憂鬱症、自殺率提高等，電磁波、輻射都是幫兇？

手機會導致腦癌，是真的嗎？世界衛生組織早在2011年證實手機輻射可能致癌，人類創造的大量輻射甚至影響自然界植物的生長，以及動物的「磁覺」，候鳥、鮭魚、蜜蜂、蝙蝠等動物都受影響！

哥倫比亞大學教授、生物電化學學會(Bioelectrochemical Society)、生物電磁協會(Bioelectromagnetics Society)會長Dr. Martin Blank研究電磁波對人體健康影響已有30多年，證實政府機關認定為「無害」的低強度、非熱性的非游離輻射仍對人體有害，輻射也不是只有手機有，不管是居家還是工作環境也到處充滿輻射的威脅。

公共環境的輻射量應該受到限制，但業者總會挑戰標準的極限。在數位生活裡，我們卻又離不開手機等電器用品，Martin Blank認為應該訂定輻射超標預警，讓輻射對人體、環境的影響降低至「安全層級」，也於此書中教導讀者如何在日常生活中降低受到輻射污染的程度。

Awards/获奖情况："This book is a must for anyone concerned with protecting their well-being, that of loved ones, and other species. From the personal, the political, and the planetary, you will never see things the same way again."–B. Blake Levitt, former New York Times contributor, Author, Electromagnetic Fields, A Consumer’s Guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves

"The extremely well documented Overpowered reads like an environmental thriller! Dr. Blank does a superb job of explaining the biological effects of cellphones and all things wireless on cell physiology and how to protect ourselves and, most importantly, our children. The sections on electricity, wildlife, and the ’business’ of science all demonstrate the dark side of technology–an inconvenient truth we must consider."—Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D.

"Martin Blank deals with a difficult subject in a scientifically accurate but easily readable fashion. He covers everything from powerlines, to cell phones, to light bulbs, to conflicts of interest, with humor and passion. In this great scientist, we have an unlikely activist and truth teller."—David O. Carpenter, M.D., Director, Institute for Health and the Environment, University at Albany
