She co- authored a book on biological effects of electromagnetic fields called Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Revolution, which was widely disseminated to Congress, Governors and thousands of health and environmental journalists. She went on to become a radio host at KGNU in Boulder/Denver, covering health, environmental and sustainability topics. She also co-authored the landmark report,”Cellphones and Brain Tumors: 15 Reasons for Concern”, which received significant global newscoverage; was co-investigator on a research study showing impacts of microwave radiation on the heart, published in the European Journal of Oncology; and co-founded the International EMF Alliance, a consortium of over eighty five international activist groups.

David O. Carpenter is a public health physician whose current position is Director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany, as well as Professor of Environmental Health Sciences within the School of Public Health at the University at Albany. After receiving his MD degree from Harvard Medical School he chose a career of research and public health. After research positions at the National Institute of Mental Health and the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, he came to Albany in 1980 as the Director of the Wadsworth Center for Laboratories and Research of the New York State Department of Health, the third largest public health laboratory in the US after NIH and CDC. In an effort to build ties to an academic program, he initiated efforts to create a partnership between the New York State Department of Health and the University at Albany, resulting in the creation of the School of Public Health in 1985. He was then appointed as the founding Dean of the School of Public Health, a position he held until 1998 when he became the Director of the Institute of Health and the Environment. The Institute has been named as a Collaborating Centre of the World Health Organization.

Dr. Carpenter’ research was initially basic neuroscience, and since has become the more general question of environmental causes of human disease, both those directly caused by chemical exposure and those mediated via endocrine disruption. He has directed large, interdisciplinary research studies on polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated pesticides at several sites, including in Native American and Alaskan Native communities. These studies have shown that exposure to these chemicals increases risk of several chronic human diseases, including diabetes, hypertension and the metabolic syndrome. He has contributed to the study of health effects of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and also has a number of international projects looking at health effects of air and water pollution. He has more than 450 peer reviewed scientific publications and has edited six books.
