Dafna Tachover is an attorney and former telecoms specialist for the Israeli Defence Force.
Dafna Tachover is director of the Children’s Health Defense 5G & Wireless Harms Project. She is an attorney in both New York and Israel, has an MBA and is the founder of We Are The Evidence, an advocacy organization for the protection of the rights of the many people who have been injured by wireless technology radiation.
She has a technology background including in wireless networks and infrastructures from her service in the Israeli Defense Forces as a telecommunication and computers officer and the commander of the computer center of the IDF’s Operations Center and of its headquarters.
She recently sued the US government for ignoring safety studies surrounding the current 5G rollout.
And won.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit court ruled the Federal Communications Commission failed to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its current guidelines adequately protect against harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation.
Wireless radiation is a form of non-ionising radiation that is emitted by wireless devices such as cellphones, laptops and wifi routers.
Offciially, non-ionising radiation does not have enough energy to break chemical bonds in DNA, which is the main way that ionising radiation, such as x-rays and gamma rays, can cause cancer.
However, the potential health risks of wireless radiation are still being studied, but some studies have suggested that it might be linked to an increased risk of cancer, brain tumours and other health problems.
Dafna spoke to me about wireless technology, from wifi to bluetooth to 5G, explaining the dangers and harm it all causes.
Some generally good rules of thumb might be to
- keep your phone away from your body when you’re not using it;
- use a wired headset or speakerphone you’re talking on the phone;
- turn off the wifi router when not in use;
- keep your laptop away from your lap when you’re using it.
