Legal
threat to police radio network
Monday, 25 November, 2002, 17:06 GMT
A plan to upgrade the police radio network could be under threat after
residents launched a legal challenge over an aerial mast.
The group from Stroud, Gloucestershire, are concerned about the
location of the masts which will be used in the £2.9bn project to
upgrade the Airwave radio system. Resident Susan Trevett asked a high
court judge to overturn planning permission for aerials in her area. If
the challenge succeeds, the contract for the police network might have
to be reconsidered.
Ms Trevett's lawyers told Mr Justice Sullivan, sitting in London, there
were fears about potential health risks from the antennae. They also
cited reports from the Lancashire branch of the Police Federation which
said 173 officers had reported falling ill after Airwave was introduced.
The county was one of the first places in Britain to adopt the service.
Microwave dishes
Outside court, Ms Trevett's solicitor Richard Buxton said: "These masts
are being installed with no more than lip service being paid to
residents' concerns over possible health risks." The site of immediate
concern to Ms Trevett was near her home on the roof of Stroud police
station.
A 13-metre mast with antennae and two microwave dishes is scheduled to
replace the old aerial. In court, David Wolfe, appearing for Ms
Trevett, said she was challenging a decision to allow planning
permission for new telecom equipment on three separate sites.
Appeal proceedings
Initially, Stroud District Council refused planning permission for the
mast because of concern over the potential health risks, said Mr Wolfe.
But it later withdrew its opposition and did not take part in the
appeal proceedings before a planning inspector, who allowed the appeal
and gave permission for the masts. Mr Wolfe argued the inspector failed
to consider the public health concerns of local residents. There was
particular anxiety because the police station site was close to four
infant classes and six junior school classes, he said.
The hearing continues.

Electrophonic
Effects
I read your article about the electronic effects from cell towers
before I had one. Now that there is a cell tower 600 feet from my home
I understand it much greater. I am wondering if you know of anything
that can help with the pain that it causes in your ears? Also, do you
know if the great amount of pain we experience is because the emissions
are higher than the FCC's guidelines. I am just asking for a guess on
this, unless you know more. You are the only person I have seen that
knows anything about the electronic effect and any suggestions you can
offer would greatly be appreciated. When one ear faces the tower it is
extremely painful, at night it is hard to sleep when this happens. I
have never had a ear problem or infection in my life and none of this
started until the antenna was operational on the tower.

Electromagnetic
Field Sensitivity
Alasdair Philips Sept 30: Yes! There are electrically sensitive
patients around whose degree of sensitivity makes them completely
incompatible with electrical technology and chemically sensitive
patients who are completely incompatible with chemical pollution.
Society has the challenge of making life tolerable for them. Society
shows no signs of being willing or able to forgo its technology.
Whatever cut-off level is arbitrarily chosen, there will stil 1 be some
persons coming outside this. What can be done for them?
There are a number of E.S. patient support groups around the world. One
such in England which would be pleased to make contacts with other
groups and ES sufferers is:
CIRCUIT, P.O. Box 1UZ, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.
The person who runs this is so electrically sensitive that there is no
phone, computer or even electricity supply in the house so please
write, an SAE would be appreciated.

Abstract
A multiphase study was performed to find an effective method to
evaluate electromagnetic field (EMF) sensitivity of patients. The first
phase developed criteria for controlled testing using an environment
low in chemical, particulate, and EMF pollution. Monitoring devices
were used in an effort to ensure that extraneous EMF would not
interfere with the tests. A second phase involved a single-blind
challenge of 100 patients who complained of EMF sensitivity to a series
of fields ranging from 0 to 5 MHz in frequency, plus 5 blank
challenges. Twenty-five patients were found who were sensitive to the
fields, but did not react to the blanks. These were compared in the
third phase to 25 healthy naive volunteer controls. None of the
volunteers reacted to any challenge, active or blank, but 16 of the
EMF-sensitive patients (64%) had positive signs and symptoms scores,
plus autonomic nervous system changes. In the fourth phase, the 16
EMF-sensitive patients wer rechallengd twice to the frequencies to
which they were most sensitive during the previous challenge. The
active frequency was found to be positive in 100% of the challenges,
while all of the placebo tests were negative. We concluded that this
study gives strong evidence that electromagnetic field sensitivity
exists, and can be elicited under environmentally controlled conditions.

Jean Ellis writes to Robert Riedlinger
Hi Robert,
This is Jean Ellis. I met you last summer at a meeting in Vancouver
arranged by Linda T. at a community centre. I have circulated the tapes
(Public Exposure) you gave me to my colleagues and neighbours. I will
also be showing them to my students shortly.
One of my neighbours and I have conducted a survey of our
neighbourhood. The majority of residents living in houses on the hill
facing a transmission tower (micro-wave, radio and cell) are
experiencing symptoms associated with EM exposure. People on the other
side of our hill (not exposed) are experiencing relatively few symptoms
of a nature related to EM exposure.
We will be taking the results of this survey to the health department.
We are looking for other studies that we might be able to use to
support our cause. Are you aware of any?
Also, when I met you, you had a meter that measured the EMF in the
meeting room. What is the name of that meter and where can I get one?
Looking forward to your reply.

EMF effects from cellular phones transmission towers
Do you have any information that I could use for the following:
This is the situation:
I live in a block of flats in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, where 5
years ago a daughter company of AIR TOUCH has proposed to install
on the roof a relay station (transmitters, receivers and aerials) for
the exchange of a monthly fee. This is a property that belongs to 14
owners, all living there, and after a vote it was decided to negotiate
and finally it was accepted to sign the contract.
I was against this decision but since there was not much experience and
information on the subject, I could not fight it with facts. Two years
later a neighbour has developed a brain tumour and died within 6
months. Me and my family, we have had head aches, tiredness in the
morning and sometimes difficulty in sleeping. A cause effect
relationship has not been established, mainly because we are only
thinking about these things and there is not enough information about
it.
Now it is time to decide if the contract is renewed or not and I would
like to have as much information in order to support my gut feeling
decision to not renew it, and stand up to my neighbours.

Maggie This Man Les Bukle lives aprox 400 ft from a cellphone tower in
Mission BC Canada ,close to me.and aprox 2 blocks from the lady that
suffered very severe Pressure Headaches .Nausea, Fatigue, Pain in Neck
and Sensitive areas.Excessive stomach gas,Imbalance,Hearing loss.Etc.
When I went to visit her I felt the same symptoms she suffered. She
died of a burst blood vein in her head (after suffering for aprox 2.5
years.) May 1998. Her husband now suffers dementia.Is not able to work
or drive.He still lives in the home.
I can't name the people but I have a copy of the letter (I wrote to
Health Canada)and a signed list of symptoms(by her) that she suffered.
I wrote Health Canada to get help for her in Oct /97 but recieved no
reply.
This is unbelievable that this is happening.
Regards Robert
P.S. You can see the symptoms that Less Buckle is suffering match those
suffered by the lady that died, the same as I suffered near the tower.
Every report I get from people living near towers, the symptoms match.
It does mean something is wrong.VERY WRONG.

Hi bob
The symptoms I have had for about a year now and seem to be getting
worse are: Headaches, loss of hearing in my right ear a buzzing in the
house that that never seems to go away it sometimes is not as strong
but it is for ever constant playing havoc with ones sanity, the only
relieve one gets is to go out but there is a time when one must return
to sleep and then it takes a time to get to sleep trying to shut out

Object
of the week: the microwave oven
http://www.guardian.co.uk/print/0,3858,4539477-103680,00.html
Have you ever thought of your
microwave as a weapon? Have you ever
stopped to think, as the pork fillets with apple mash rotate behind the
spattered glass door, that this machine could be re-applied as a means
of disciplining the unruly? Perhaps, by way of drawing a line under
domestic spats, you're wont to grab the oven from the counter, punch
"start" and flip open the door, then direct the beams at your lippy
opponent (your partner, perhaps, or your child?) until they're writhing
on the floor in well-deserved agony...
But if it hasn't crossed your mind to put your microwave to violent
use, don't worry. That's natural. It takes a special kind of
imagination to refashion household appliances into instruments of
torture. An imagination battered out of human shape by cynicism,
paranoia and, perhaps, a few unfortunate experiences in the kitchen.
Who would apply their creativity so monstrously? Who could so pervert
this useful technology, this force for gastronomic good?
Step forward "British and US military leaders", who, according to
Sunday's papers, are developing just such a weapon for use as a
"persuasive tool" against overseas baddies and protesting populations
back home. Move over, rubber bullets. Cheerio, tear gas. The Vehicle
Mounted Active Denial Technology, otherwise known as the "people
zapper", has arrived. It looks like a satellite dish but can warm cold
soup at a hundred paces. Try picking up Sky Sports 2 with this, and
fried pigeons will start falling from the sky.
This Frankenstein stove works by sending out concentrated microwave
beams which burn the skin of their luckless recipients... The US
military has blown a cool $40m developing this latest wheeze, which may
seem like money well spent to those who offered up their brains for
preliminary testing. Those against whom the zapper is likely to be
applied - blameless Iraqis, Moscow theatregoers, civic-minded Brits -
haven't got so much cash to burn...
