Cell Phone Use During Pregnancy: What a New Study of 1,666 Women Reveals

The Healthier Tech Podcast

Show Notes

A large cohort study tracking pregnant women over four years found that every additional minute of daily cell phone use increased miscarriage risk by zero point six percent.

In this episode, I break down what researchers discovered when they tracked 1,666 pregnant women in Iran from twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen, measuring their exposure to cell phones, cordless phones, and Wi-Fi devices. The findings reveal significant associations between call duration and pregnancy outcomes that every expectant mother should know about.

In This Episode

How researchers measured real-world electromagnetic exposure during pregnancy The dose-response relationship between cell phone use and miscarriage risk Why cordless phones and wireless devices matter for fetal development One simple change that can reduce exposure during pregnancy

What happens when a cell tower goes up outside your bedroom window, makes you sick, and the law says you have no right to do anything about it? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, R Blank sits down with health and environmental advocate Camilla Rees and attorney Scott McCollough to unpack one sentence buried in the 1996 Telecom Act that took away your town's power to stop a cell tower on health grounds. Thirty years later, courts have stretched that same sentence into a liability shield, so when the infrastructure outside your home makes you sick, the traditional remedies you would have against any other polluter simply do not exist. And right now, for the first time in decades, two federal agencies are finally asking the public what wireless exposure is doing to their health. Here's what you'll learn:
