info_outlineThis week, we are joined by Theodora Scarato, Executive Director of the Environmental Health Trust.
The EHT recently won a lawsuit against the FCC for not updating their wireless safety regulations according to current research. (The last time it was updated was 1996!)
We discuss the EHT's work to protect our families from the known and unknown effects of wireless exposure, and compare the U.S. standards of technology use to that of other countries. Did you know that in France, cell phones come with a warning not to use against the pregnant or adolescent abdomen??
I hope you enjoy! Feel free to reach out with any questions/comments to [email protected] or DM us @ruanliving on Instagram.
