Olle Johansson: Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields

Olle Johansson is a former associate professor at the department of neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet. His research focuses on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields and the potential consequences of unbridled expansion of global communications networks. He has been outspoken in his desire to inform the public of the known dangers of electronic devices and wireless technologies, particularly to children, who are more susceptible to the effects. Due to the complex socio political and economic relationships between telecommunications companies and public health sectors, Olle’s (and others) work has been harshly criticised for being dramatic and unfounded, despite the presence of thousands of peer-reviewed articles demonstrating detrimental biological effects of man-made electromagnetic fields dating back almost a century. Olle’s moral obligation to speak out about these negative health effects have impacted his career and research dramatically.
