Diseases? Poisoning? Herbicides or pesticides? Weather? What about EMF?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the sparrows live in large colonies, the transmission of a disease is fast and furious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rapid changes in weather can shock and stress birds,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/strangesounds.org\/2015\/09\/apocalyptical-hailstorm-kills-300-flamingoes-in-albacete-spain.html\">leading to mass die-offs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should we be worried about EMF exposure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is growing evidence that our addiction to cellphones could be impacting brain functionality and be the cause of stress, anxiety, insomnia and a lack of attention and focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eklipse-mechanism.eu\/documents\/15803\/0\/EMR-KnowledgeOverviewReport_FINAL_27042018.pdf\/1326791c-f39f-453c-8115-0d1c9d0ec942\">new report<\/a>&nbsp;has found that we\u2019re not the only living things to be affected by our increasing dependence on wireless technology. Mammals, birds, insects and even plants are likely being harmed by the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emanating from Wi-Fi, cellphone towers, broadcast transmitters and power lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers said that \u201c<strong><em>evidence is accumulating that mammals (e.g., bats and mice) have a magnetic sense<\/em><\/strong>\u201d&nbsp;<strong>that is affected by radio-frequency-modulated electromagnetic fields (RF-EMR). Birds in particular may be highly susceptible. The researchers found that even weak magnetic fields in the radio frequency range can disrupt birds\u2019 magnetoreception, their ability to use the Earth\u2019s magnetic fields to orient themselves and find their way home.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homing pigeons are well-known for their magnetoreception, but this sense has also been detected in other animals, like red foxes, and there is evidence that even large mammals like deer use the planet\u2019s magnetic fields to sense direction. A number of invertebrates, including worms, mollusks and fruit flies also use this ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The report also concluded that EMR can also alter the metabolism of plants, causing<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201c<strong><em>significant changes \u2026 demonstrated at cellular and molecular levels.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d The authors noted that even a low level exposure to EMR \u201c<strong><em>caused a rapid increase in stress-related transcript accumulation in tomato [plants].<\/em><\/strong>\u201d Transcription is the first phase in the expression of a gene, in which a specific segment of DNA is copied into RNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors said that their findings indicate \u201c<strong><em>an urgent need to strengthen the scientific basis of the knowledge on EMR and their potential impacts on wildlife,<\/em><\/strong>\u201d specifically calling out the \u201c<em>need to base future research on sound, high-quality, replicable experiments so that credible, transparent and easily accessible evidence can inform society and policy-makers to make decisions and frame their policies.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK charity Buglife (which proposed the analysis) warned that there wasn\u2019t enough research to determine limits to EMR pollution. The group said that \u201cserious impacts on the environment could not be ruled out\u201d and urged that 5G transmitters should not be placed near street lights, which attract nocturnal insects like moths, nor in areas near wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buglife CEO Matt Shardlow, who served on the experts steering group of the report, warned that \u201c<strong><em>there is a credible risk that 5G could impact significantly on wildlife.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d He added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>We apply limits to all types of pollution to protect the habitability of our environment, but as yet, even in Europe, the safe limits of electromagnetic radiation have not been determined, let alone applied. This is a classic case of out of sight out of mind, just because humans cannot see electromagnetic radiation this does not mean that animals cannot \u2018see\u2019 the pollution or be significantly impacted at a neural or cellular level. A proper research program and clear policy measures are long overdue.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of sparrows mysteriously fell from the sky in Pering Village, Blabatuh District, Gianyar Regency on the island of Bali, Indonesia a few days ago.
