Dass die Mainzer Epidemiologin Frau Prof. Maria Blettner der Studie skeptisch gegenübersteht verwundert keineswegs ? sie ist seit langem als Verharmloserin bezüglich der möglichen Mobilfunkgefährdung bekannt. Sie profitiert entsprechend ihrer ?Loyalität? zu den Auftraggebern letztendlich auch bezüglich der diversen Studienvergaben.
Bemerkenswert war auch ihr Statement bezüglich der von ihrem Institut durchgeführten Kikk-Studie 2007, ?Kinderkrebs in der Nähe von Atomkraftwerken?, in welcher letztendlich eine erhöhte Krebserkrankung auch seitens der Strahlenschutzkommission SSK bestätigt wurde.
Auch wenn sie ihre Erhebung als solche nicht bestritten hat, so gab es für sie keine wissenschaftliche Bestätigung der von ihr selbst festgestellten erhöhten Werte für Kinder unter 5 Jahre ? der Tenor: es müsse weiterhin geforscht werden! In der Presse und im Internet wurde hierüber ausführlich berichtet ? auch der HLV hat dies getan. Der Diskurs findet auch seinen Niederschlag in der sogenannten Interphone-Studie, wo sie mit ihrem Kollegen Dr. Schütz ebenfalls einen Wirbel skurillen der Seriosität verursacht hat.
Im EMF Monitor Nr. 5 Oktober 2006 wurde von Dr. Peter Neitzke im Artikel ?Geld für Forschung ? Forschung für Geld? eine sehr bemerkenswerte Dokumentation erstellt.
U.a. heißt es dort in der Interpretation: ?Industrienahe Wissenschaftler produzieren nicht nur Ergebnisse, die oft anders als die unabhängiger Forscher eher im Sinne ihrer Geldgeber ausfallen, sie sitzen auch zahlreich in vielen Gremien, in denen Bewertungen des wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisstandes und Grenzwertvorschläge erarbeitet werden [?]
Der HLV schließt sich jedenfalls bezüglich der warnenden Hinweise daher eher der nicht industriegefälligen Verbindungen an, sondern vielmehr der unabhängigen präventiven Empfehlungen, wie seitens des Elektroexperten des BUND Herrn Bernd Rainer Müller ausgesprochen werden. (s. FR-Artikel)

Maine PUC to seek flexibility in installation of smart meters: The decision gives hope to those who believe the wireless devices put in by CMP pose a health hazard.
FORMER PG&E CONTRACTOR ALLEGES SMART METER SAFETY LAPSES Smart Meter
Ignition Risk "Could Lead to Another San Bruno"
San Francisco- A former employee of Wellington Energy, a company under contract with PG&E to install 10 million wireless 'smart' meters throughout California, has decided to go public today with allegations that he believes the company is risking public safety by installing meters that pose a fire risk and failing to train meter technicians adequately. The former employee- who has opted to keep his identity secret- worked for Wellington Energy for four months in 2010. During that time, he observed practices that- in his opinion- could result in one of the new meters producing an "arc" and igniting a gas leak. At the time of the fatal explosion in September, the City of San Bruno was fully installed with the new meters. Questions to the CPUC and PG&E about what precautions were taken before installing the new wireless meters (that have the potential to produce sparks) in close proximity to natural gas equipment have so far gone unanswered.
In an exclusive interview with StopSmartMeters.Org, the Wellington Whistleblower (WW) told of numerous instances where he heard managers tell his co-workers, "you could have burned that goddamned house down." The former Wellington employee reports that if installation is carried out incorrectly, the meters can create an arc, or electrical current between two wires. Such an arc has the potential to ignite any gas leak that may be present in the area.
WW also describes a workplace increasingly under pressure between managers who have to meet high installation targets, and the general public, who are increasingly resistant to allowing the meters. Aside from being linked with a number of health symptoms such as sleeplessness, tinnitus, headaches, and nausea, 'smart' meters are also implicated in billing inaccuracies, breaches in privacy, and a whole host of electronic interference issues. According to WW, "Most residents who had looked into the issue on their own did not want the meters installed. We were dealing with an increasingly resistant public. Forcing these meters on people makes the job really difficult and stressful. A few of my colleagues reported that the police were called on them multiple times."
Having installed hundreds of meters in Santa Cruz County, WW conveyed the potential safety threat to this area: "I do feel that Scotts Valley, Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond, Corralitos, to name a few should be informed enough to prepare for what could realistically turn into another San Bruno....I hope we can get regulators to pay attention on this as I believe there is a real chance of more people getting hurt if nothing is done."
Twenty-six CA governments are now calling for a moratorium, a ban, or are opposing Smart Meters: the City and County of San Francisco, Mendocino County, Santa Cruz County, Marin County, the cities of Belvedere, Berkeley, Bolinas, Camp Meeker, Capitola, Cotati, Fairfax, Monte Sereno, Morro Bay, Novato, Piedmont, Richmond, Rio Dell, Ross, San Anselmo, San Clemente, San Rafael, Santa Cruz, Sausalito, Scotts Valley, Sebastopol and Watsonville. In addition three cities in the State of Maine have passed resolutions calling for a moratorium on Smart Meters.
Nonetheless, Sandi Maurer of the Sebastopol-based EMF Safety Network an anti-SmartMeter group, backs both proposals. ?I am hoping they go for both; ...

MORE SMART METER ARRESTS IN ROHNERT PARK WHERE WELLINGTON ENERGY DEPLOYMENT IS BLOCKED THIS MORNING
"This Time it's Grandmothers Who Don't Want Their Grandchildren Exposed to Constant RF from Smart Meters"
This morning in Rohnert Park, Wellington Energy, PG&E's subcontractor who installs Smart Meters all over the Bay Area, was blocked from leaving their deployment yard by about two dozen angry grandmothers, dads, and just ordinary citizens who are outraged by PG&E's stonewalling their legitimate health and safety concerns about Smart Meter RF.
The Rohnert Park police arrested Deborah Tavares of Sebastopol and Ilona Gallo of Novato around 8am this morning for blocking the trucks carrying the Smart Meters ready for forced deployment.
"People are becoming increasingly angry about their civil liberties being rolled over as the CPUC and PG&E continue to stonewall people's concerns and requests for a Moratorium. Not only is the CPUC clearly a neutered reglulatory agency, but it is actually enabling PG&E to treat it's customers with chronic disdain. They recently advertised that disdain by arrogantly declaring that they will 'ignore' Marin County's Smart Meter Ordinance." said Katharina Sandizell, one of the mothers arrested December 29th in West Marin.
"I am a grandmother of four grandchildren and the mother of two children and I am seeing the radiation effects already, headaches and tinnitus as well as children's behavioral problems. Of great concern is also the loss of privacy and civil liberties that this rollout signifies. I am a native born Californian and I have been married for 39 years and I have never been arrested. I became horrified by this whole Smart Meter roll-out a number of months ago in terms of the loss of freedom and the radiation that it entails." said Deborah Tavares of Sebastopol.
24 independent local governments have demanded a halt to the Smart Meter program. Marin County (unincorporated areas), Santa Cruz County (unincorporated areas), Watsonville, and Fairfax have all passed one year Emergency Ordinances banning the meters.
CCST STUDY LEAVES SMART METER HEALTH QUESTIONS UNANSWERED
Report Admits that Smart Meter Radiation "Continues to be of Concern"
San Francisco- A coalition of health and environmental advocates opposing radiation-emitting 'smart' meters today questioned the recommendations of a report released yesterday, calling the installation of 10 million wireless meters throughout California "a giant experiment on the population." The California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) released a draft of their Smart Meter report yesterday- a response to Assemblymember Jared Huffman?s (D-San Rafael) request and question, "Are the FCC Safety Standards adequate to protect people from harm?"
The CCST report answers that the FCC safety standards are adequate for thermal impacts yet non-thermal impacts from radiation emitting devices like Smart Meters is still unknown. Despite this uncertainty, the report inexplicably gives the green light for continued installation.
Cindy Sage of Sage Associates, a professional environmental consultant who last week released a study showing that 'smart' meters likely exceed already high FCC limits on human exposure to microwaves, said "Installing millions of RF transmitters in peoples' homes when we already have substantial scientific evidence about the risks of chronic, low-level RF is a risk not worth taking. Especially without any discussion, or disclosure to the public about trade-offs made without their knowledge or
consent."
The CCST study found that radiation from a 'Smart' Meter is forty times as high as a wireless wifi router, contradicting PG&E?s previous claim that the meters emit a minute fraction of the radiation of common household devices.
"Comparing wireless meters to other wireless devices that are voluntary, and which many people choose not to use is not a fair comparison to government-mandated meters that expose people in their homes 24 hours a day." Sage says.
Stop Smart Meters!, the EMF Safety Network, and other groups opposing 'smart' meters continue to receive reports from hundreds of people experiencing health impacts after the wireless meters are installed, including sleep problems, headaches, tinnitus and nausea. The California Public Utilities Commission has received over 2000 complaints of health impacts. The CCST report failed to interview anyone reporting health symptoms, and neglected to cite peer-reviewed findings of non-thermal biological damage from low level RF emissions.
"The costs for having guessed wrong is likely to have enormous economic and public health consequences for Californians for decades to come," Sage concludes.
If you have had a reaction to smart meters
(or if you wish to comment), this committee should know about it. Deadline is January 31st for comments. Please forward to others.
