  • Writer: Green Street Radio
    Green Street Radio

Our near-constant exposure to electromagnetic fields and microwave radiation from cell phones, Wi-Fi, and countless connected devices is quietly taking a toll on our health.



This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about the impact of warming rivers on nuclear power plants, the ability of scientists to accurately determine the impacts of climate change, and how reducing your exposure to plastic also reduces harmful chemicals in your body. Then radiologist Dr. Rob Brown talks about his new book, “Unplug: A Radiologist Explores the Damage Caused by Electropollution and How You Can Prevent It,” and how chronic exposure disrupts metabolism, weakens the immune system, and may contribute to anxiety, depression and aggression in today’s society.

Cell Tower Update - with Doug Wood

The placement of cell towers has always been the purview of local officials, but a new bill in Washington gives that power to the FCC.

This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about the harmful health impacts of flame retardants in cars, and a new study showing more than half of American kids are breathing polluted air. Then Doug talks about legislation pending in Washington would allow the FCC to overrule local officials and permit telecoms to place antennas pretty much wherever they want.
