This research comes from Suspicious Observer, as one of there research links.

I've been working on presenting research discussing the physiological effects of EMF. This seems to be along these lines,

I'm posting this here, because there will be a video coming from this...and I have to get myself motivated...

part 1. Rising ambient EMF levels in the environment

Abstract

Ambient levels of electromagnetic fields (EMF) have risen sharply in the last 80 years, creating a novel energetic exposure that previously did not exist.

Most recent decades have seen exponential increases in nearly all environments, including rural/remote areas and lower atmospheric regions.

Because of unique physiologies, some species of flora and fauna are sensitive to exogenous EMF in ways that may surpass human reactivity.

There is limited, but comprehensive, baseline data in the U.S. from the 1980s against which to compare significant new surveys from different countries.

This now provides broader and more precise data on potential transient and chronic exposures to wildlife and habitats.

Biological effects have been seen broadly across all taxa and frequencies at vanishingly low intensities comparable to today's ambient exposures.

Broad wildlife effects have been seen on orientation and migration, food finding, reproduction, mating, nest and den building, territorial maintenance and defense, and longevity and survivorship.

Cyto- and geno-toxic effects have been observed.

The above issues are explored in three consecutive parts:

Part 1 questions today's ambient EMF capabilities to adversely affect wildlife, with more urgency regarding 5G technologies.

Part 2 explores natural and man-made fields, animal magnetoreception mechanisms, and pertinent studies to all wildlife kingdoms.

Part 3 examines current exposure standards, applicable laws, and future directions.

It is time to recognize ambient EMF as a novel form of pollution and develop rules at regulatory agencies that designate air as 'habitat' so EMF can be regulated like other pollutants.

Wildlife loss is often unseen and undocumented until tipping points are reached. Long-term chronic low-level EMF exposure standards, which do not now exist, should be set accordingly for wildlife, and environmental laws should be strictly enforced.

Part 2 impacts: how species interact with natural and man-made EMF

Abstract

Ambient levels of nonionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) have risen sharply in the last five decades to become a ubiquitous, continuous, biologically active environmental pollutant, even in rural and remote areas. Many species of flora and fauna, because of unique physiologies and habitats, are sensitive to exogenous EMF in ways that surpass human reactivity.

This can lead to complex endogenous reactions that are highly variable, largely unseen, and a possible contributing factor in species extinctions, sometimes localized.

Non-human magnetoreception mechanisms are explored. Numerous studies across all frequencies and taxa indicate that current low-level anthropogenic EMF can have myriad adverse and synergistic effects, including on orientation and migration, food finding, reproduction, mating, nest and den building, territorial maintenance and defense, and on vitality, longevity and survivorship itself.

Effects have been observed in mammals such as bats, cervids, cetaceans, and pinnipeds among others, and on birds, insects, amphibians, reptiles, microbes and many species of flora.

Cyto- and geno-toxic effects have long been observed in laboratory research on animal models that can be extrapolated to wildlife. Unusual multi-system mechanisms can come into play with non-human species - including in aquatic environments - that rely on the Earth's natural geomagnetic fields for critical life-sustaining information.

Part 2 of this 3-part series includes four online supplement tables of effects seen in animals from both ELF and RFR at vanishingly low intensities.

Taken as a whole, this indicates enough information to raise concerns about ambient exposures to non-ionizing radiation at ecosystem levels.

Wildlife loss is often unseen and undocumented until tipping points are reached. It is time to recognize ambient EMF as a novel form of pollution and develop rules at regulatory agencies that designate air as 'habitat' so EMF can be regulated like other pollutants.

Long-term chronic low-level EMF exposure standards, which do not now exist, should be set accordingly for wildlife, and environmental laws should be strictly enforced - a subject explored in Part 3.
