1G - First Generation
2G - Second Generation
3G - Third Generation
3GPP - Third Generation Partnership Project
3G UMTS - Third Generation Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
4G - Fourth Generation wireless network
4G LTE - Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution
5G - Fifth Generation wireless network - will expose all living things on Earth to unprecedented
amounts of health-damaging microwaves
AF - Audio Frequency
AMI - Advanced Metering Infrastructure (also known as "Smart Meters")
Bluetooth - an industry specification which uses a standard 2.4 GHz frequency that is an open
wireless technology for transmitting fixed and mobile electronic device data over short
distances, which typically applies to connecting a cell phone to a wireless earpiece or the
Bluetooth system in a vehicle
CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access
CS - Chemical Sensitivity
DE - Dirty Electricity
DECT 6.0 GHz - Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, digital wireless technology for
cordless telephones and wireless offices and homes
DNA - DeoxyriboNucleic Acid molecule, double helix structure, contains genetic information
EHS - Electromagnetic HyperSensitive
EMF - ElectroMagnetic Field; ElectroMagnetic Frequency
EMR - ElectroMagnetic Radiation
EMRS - ElectroMagnetic Radiation Specialist
GHZ or GHz or gHz - GigaHertZ, one billion cycles per second

HSPA - High Speed Packet Access
Hypersensitivity - Excessive sensitivity or reaction to electromagnetic radiation
HZ or Hz - Hertz, one cycle per second
KHZ or KHz or kHz - KiloHertZ, one thousand cycles per second
LTE - Long Term Evolution
Magnetosphere of Earth - the region of space surrounding Earth that is dominated by the
planet's magnetic field; it is a vast, comet-shaped bubble that is almost horizontal
over the Earth's Equator, then becomes curved to reconnect at Earth's highest latitudes
at the North and South Poles
MCS - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity; a response to toxic exposures, not allergic reactions
MHZ or MHz or mHz - MegaHertZ, one million cycles per second
RF - Radio Frequency
RNA - RiboNucleic Acid molecule, single helix structure, contains genetic information
SAR - Specific Absorption Rate; the SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram in countries that set the
limit averaged over 1 gram of tissue, and 2.0 watts per kilogram in countries that set the
limit averaged over 10 grams of tissue
UMTS - Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
White Noise - many sources, mostly from electronic equipment and household wiring
WIFI - acronym coined from the original term HIFI in audio systems meaning Hi Fidelity,
although now accepted in general internet usage to indicate "Wireless Fidelity"
