S1637

	SECTION 1. Whereas, physicians and nurses should help prevent harm from non-ionizing radiation (e.g. wireless), mold, excessive screen time, local pollutants, and recalled or toxic products. 
	Whereas, medical professionals would benefit from continuing education on toxins that cause illness, but should be exempted where inapplicable to specialty or where expert.  
	Whereas, non-ionizing radiation is significantly linked to leukemia and lymphoma, so reducing such exposures should be a part of treatment and insurance coverage.  
	Whereas, medical providers and nursing homes should progressively limit non-ionizing radiation technology exposures as part of quality control measures, because numerous peer-reviewed studies demonstrate such exposures contribute to dementias, cancers, numerous chronic illness, and to feeling unwell. 
	Whereas, nutritional imbalances can be caused by toxic exposures and can contribute to pathological conditions, such that nutritional analysis and supplementation such as with antioxidants should be a part of treatment and insurance coverage.  
	Resolved, that the policy goals of this act are to:  
	(a) address electromagnetic radiation exposures from technology in medical facility and nursing home exposures with medical training, guidance, and progressive limits and monitoring that align with recommendations in the scientific literature and that of expert groups such as the Building Biology Institute and the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields;  
	(b) update medical training to insure medical professionals in relevant fields are kept current regarding and acknowledge digital addiction, potential toxicities in consumer products, and mold hazards;  
	(c) update medical insurance to support medical evaluation, treatment and guidance regarding environmental hazards such as digital addiction, plastics, electromagnetic radiation, and ensuing pathological nutritional deficiences; and  
	(d) to reorganize the disorganized section 2 of chapter 112 only for organizational purposes without modifying content.
