“MOMlitics is the newest podcast covering hot button political issues impacting American families. As parents, we have a vested interest in the next generation, so we can’t afford to ignore politics (even though we’d like to)! So if you want to stay informed, without all the negativity that usually surrounds politics, you’re in the right place.”

On this episode of MOMlitics, Rebecca interviews Daniel DeBaun to explain the potential health risks associated with devices we use every day – including why kids could be especially at risk. 30 years from now, will smartphones, laptops, and tablets become the new cigarettes, tanning beds, and lead-based paint?

Daniel DeBaun is an expert in EMF radiation, shielding, and related health issues, focusing on the effect of exposure from mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, and cell phones. Daniel’s concern grew from over thirty years of engineering experience in the telecommunications industry, where he held a variety of executive positions at SAIC, Telcordia, AT&T, and Bell Labs. He is also the co-author of Radiation Nation: The Fallout of Modern Technology.
