Harvard Ethics Center: Corruption Blocking Research on Wireless

http://www.law.harvard.edu/news/2011/11/18_safra-center-cellphone-radiation-corruption.htmlBased on the unjustified trivializing reports distributed by the mass media by order and on account of the wireless communication industry, the general public cannot understand that its future well-being and health may be at stake. The people even distrust those scientists who warn.

CONSUMERS DIGEST Special Investigative Report: A Bad Connection: Cellphone Radiation & Health Risks

ARC’s 2010 Interphone study of 14,000 longtime cellphone users who are from 13 countries found those who talked on their phones at least 30 minutes per day experienced a 40 percent increase in the incidence of glioma, which is a tumor that occurs in brain tissue; and a 15 percent increase in meningioma, which occurs in the tissue that lines the brain. Moreover, the study found that the tumors in heavy users tended to be on the same side of the head as where the people customarily held their phone..

Other nations, which include Canada, England, Finland and France, urge consumers to minimize their exposure to cellphone radiation and require telecommunications businesses to pay for independent research to address health concerns. In contrast, the approach in the United States has been to see whether bodies pile up before officials urge any change at all

…three of the four ruling members of FCC are from the telecommunications industry….Telecommunications companies gave almost $9 million in federal campaign contributions in 2010, according to OpenSecrets.org, which tracks corporate spending in politics. That year, the industry also spent more than $40 million lobbying in Washington. So it’s no surprise to us that when telecommunications companies call, Washington listens.

Smart Meter Explodes During Installation

FOX NEWS: “There was a severe arching and it ignited some combustible material in the room,” said Larry Bacci, a City of Naples fire marshal. The contractor suffered second and third degree burns during the blast and nearly 30 people were forced to evacuate.

European Leaders Say Ban Cell Phones & WiFi In Schools

THE TELEGRAPH A Council of Europe committee examined evidence that the technologies have “potentially harmful” effects on humans, and concluded that immediate action was required to protect children.

In a report, the committee said it was crucial to avoid repeating the mistakes made when public health officials were slow to recognize the dangers of asbestos, tobacco smoking and lead in petrol.

Mobile phones and computers with wireless internet connections pose a risk to human health and should be banned from schools, a powerful European body has ruled.

Health Effects Near Radio/TV & Cell Phone Towers

Dr Neil Cherry O.N.Z.M1
Associate Professor of Environmental HealthThere is robust scientific evidence that electromagnetic radiation is a Ubiquitous Universal Genotoxic Carcinogen. If this understanding was applied to the data available in 1982, when IARC declared benzene a Human Carcinogen, then the level of data for RF/MW radiation being a human carcinogen was considerably stronger than that for benzene. A large body of laboratory experiments and epidemiological studies now confirm the hypothesis.

This confirms that hypothesis and the toxicology of the signals with a safe level of zero exposure. Hence living in the vicinity of broadcast and mobile phone towers produces Cancer, Cardiac, Reproductive and Neurological (CCRN) health effects.

A funny thing happened on the way to publication of a WHO sponsored study …

Smartphone Spying Scandal Grows, Abused iPad Assemby Workers Hospitalized for Neurotoxic Effects

Recent revelations that Apple’s iPhone and iPad, Google’s Android and Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 operating systems collect, store and transmit records of users’ physical locations to central databases–secretly, and without consent–have ignited a firestorm over Americans’ privacy rights in an age of hypersurveillance….

“Medical maladies … began when a factory owned by Taiwan’s Wintek, swapped basic rubbing alcohol with the more dangerous toxin n-hexane in the final cleaning process of touch screens to shave off a few seconds off production time. N-hexane is a known toxin and prolonged, high-level exposure can caused nerve damage and a long list of medical problems.”

Several studies of Apple’s production practices undertaken by the Netherlands-based Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO) revealed “disturbing allegations of excessive working hours and draconian workplace rules at two major plants in southern China. It has also uncovered an ‘anti-suicide’ pledge that workers at the two plants have been urged to sign, after a series of employee deaths last year,” The Observer reports.

Cell phone transmission equipment safe or not?

In the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health2, researchers reported that of 10 epidemiological studies assessing health effects of mobile-phone base stations, eight of the 10 studies reported increased prevalence of adverse neurobehavioral symptoms or cancer in populations living at distances less than 500 meters from base stations.

They conclude that non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (such as cell phone (microwave transmission) are among the fastest growing forms of environmental pollution.

The European Environment Agency executive director warned: “Waiting for high levels of proof before taking action to prevent well-known risks can lead to very high health and economic costs, as it did with asbestos, leaded petrol and smoking.”

Patente de SwissCom: To Reduce Dangers of Electrosmog in Wireless

Patente de SwissCom: Reduction of electrosmog in Wireless Local networks. SwissCom admit health damage from Wi-Fi in patent to reduce exposures.

“Thus it has been possible to show that mobile radio radiation can cause damage to genetic material, in particular in human white blood cells, whereby both the DNA itself is damaged and the number of chromosomes changed.”

SCIENCE: EFFECTS OF CELL TOWERS ON RESIDENTS NEARBY

A comparison of the relative risk revealed that there were 4.15 times more cases in area A than in the entire population. The study indicated an association between increased incidence of cancer and living in proximity to a cell phone base station. The measured level of RFR, between 0.3 to 0.5 μW/cm2, was far below the thermal guidelines.
