The Gaia Reports

As of 5/2023 - 2% of the public is still concerned that exposure to radiofrequency from mobile phone masts is harmful to human health. This statistic is a stark reminder that, despite the lack of scientific evidence to support the notion that exposure to radiofrequency from mobile phone masts is harmful to human health, a significant portion of the public still holds this belief. This highlights the importance of continuing to educate the public on the safety of mobile phone masts and the lack of evidence to support the notion that they are harmful. 35% of the general public believe that mobile phone masts should not be placed near schools or residential areas due to health risks. This statistic is a powerful indicator of the public’s concern about the potential health risks associated with mobile phone masts near schools and residential areas. It shows that a significant portion of the population is aware of the potential dangers and is taking a proactive stance in protecting the...

By Theodora Filis Generally, one thinks in terms of a nuclear war when considering pollution that involves radiation. The background level of radiation in oceans and seas varies around the globe. The primary source of radiation pollution has been nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific Ocean, but some regions have experienced additional inputs. The Irish Sea in 2008 showed elevated levels compared to large ocean basins as a result of radioactive releases from the Sellafield reprocessing facility at Seacastle, U.K. Levels in the Baltic and Black Seas are elevated due to fallout from the 1986 explosion and fire at the Chornobyl nuclear reactor. --Data courtesy of MARIS/IAEA and CMER Scientists continue to track the many pathways by which radioisotopes from the damaged nuclear reactors at Fukushima make their way into and out of seawater, marine life, and seafloor sediments.  These depend on the behavior and metabolism of an individual animal, the nature of complex coastal a...
