What does this mean for Canadians?
June 5, 2011. The World Health Organization classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic. What does this mean for Canadians?
After a week-long meeting in Lyon, France, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)?an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO)?classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (otherwise known as radiofrequency radiation or RFR) as a class 2B carcinogen, meaning that it is ?possibly carcinogenic to humans?. Lead and DDT are two examples in the same category, and both are banned for public use in Canada.
What does this mean for Canadians?
It means that Health Canada is obliged to go back to the drawing board and revise its guideline for radiofrequency radiation. The current Health Canada guideline is one of the least protective in the world?along with the United States and Great Britain.
It means that medical officers of health need to notify doctors of the potential carcinogenicity of devices that emit radiofrequency radiation: cell phones as well as the neighbourhood cell phone antennas; cordless phones; wireless baby monitors; smart meters for electricity, water and natural gas consumption; WiFi routers in homes, schools, offices and public places including coffee shops, buses, trains, airports, airplanes, hospitals, hotels as well as city-wide WiFi. Broadcast antennas and radar used by airports, marine and military installations also emit radiofrequency radiation.

At this stage, Health Canada is not conceding any increased danger.
'Health Canada s advice to Canadians remains the same. As long as exposures respect the limits set in Health Canada s radio-frequency (RF) exposure guidelines, the department has no scientific reason to consider exposure to low-level radio-frequency fields, such as those from cellphones or Wi-Fi, dangerous to the public,# it says.
What should Health Canada should be saying?
Siemiatycki says he d like to hear a change in tone and see action on the file.
'I am not sure what they would have said (before the classification), but I guess today they would have to say they are really doing it, that they are really looking into it. They should either stimulate additional research or they should look at preventive strategies that might not be disruptive to people or to society, or to give warnings, I am not sure. But they would need to look at this possibly in a more serious way than they did' before IARC s announcement this week.

May 2011
A Month in Review. A lot has happened during the month of May in the EMR arena.
1. Scientists with strong Industry ties no longer tolerated as 'experts' on International Panel.
2. IARC classifies Radio Frequency Radiation is a Class 2B Carcinogen 'possibly carcinogenic to humans'.
3. The Parliamentary Assembly Council of Europe (PACE) released a document entitled: The potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment. Resolution 1815 (2011)
4. Research at Queen s University in Kingston documents that cell phone use may lead to low sperm quality and a decrease in male fertility.
5. Cell phone radiation causes piping (swarming) in bees.
6. Scientists who speak out about the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation are harassed.
