Synopsis

When Thomas Edison began wiring New York City with a direct current electricity distribution system in the 1880s, he gave humankind the magic of electric light, heat, and power; in the process, though, he inadvertently opened a Pandora's Box of unimaginable illness and death.

Dirty Electricity tells the story of Dr. Samuel Milham, the scientist who first alerted the world about the frightening link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and human disease. Milham takes listeners through his early years and education, following the twisting path that led to his discovery that most of the 20th-century diseases of civilization, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide, are caused by electromagnetic field exposure.

In the second edition, he explains how electrical exposure does its damage and how electricity is causing our current epidemics of asthma, diabetes, and obesity.

Dr. Milham warns that because of the recent proliferation of radio frequency radiation from cell phones and towers, terrestrial antennas, Wi-Fi, and Wi-max systems, broadband Internet over power lines, and personal electronic equipment, we may be facing a looming epidemic of morbidity and mortality. In Dirty Electricity, he reveals the steps we must take, personally and as a society, to coexist with this marvelous but dangerous technology.

I was working in the commercial and utility solar photovoltaic industry at the tim......more

Goodreads review by Markham on September 01, 2016

Skip the first 5 chapters and the preface. They are mostly biographical and self-aggrandizing, with information that is of no use even elsewhere in the same chapter (e.g. 'we had two cars and a house', 'the landlady evicted us for setting fire to the cabinets', etc.). Weak points aside, this may poin......more

Reading is a way of educating yourself. This book is a quick, but fascinating look into environmental and technological causes of cancer. I highly recommend it. The more people read this book, and make changes to their environment, the less cancer would impact the world.......more

Goodreads review by Angie on January 18, 2014

The book is basically an appeal for more research into the effect of man-made energy on the human body. I absolutely agree with the authors plea. Being that we are energy beings, it makes sense to me that we should understand the effects of man-made energy on our body. I also enjoyed reading about t......more

Goodreads review by P.J. on October 10, 2017

During the twentieth century there was a steady rise in death rates from the so-called diseases of civilization: cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, suicide, etc. This book blames that excess mortality on residential electrification--widespread exposure to electrical fields. Why is the same e......more
