Our sister lobbying group, AmericanAssociationForCellPhoneSafety.org, is sending another letter to our federal regulatory agencies. Our letter last year helped prompt some vital changes in the Motorola phone manuals including vital warnings to children and pregnant women. It is high time the FCC take action within their own website, materials and information disseminated to the public, particularly in the wake of the recent WHO/IARC classification of electromagnetic fields being Class 2 B carcinogens..
It reportedly based its classification after a review of hundreds of
articles published in scientific journals on health risks associated with
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields, including a
study--called the Interphone study--that ...
While an influential European parliamentary committee is warning European countries to reduce exposure to electromagnetic radiation, especially for children, and a growing number of government health ministries around the world recommend drastically ...

Attached is a great flyer outlining the many problems associated with the smart meters. Some of them are specific to the costs here in BC, but I?m sure wherever they are being installed, the same cost problem exists. This was made by Tatha Cornish here in Victoria. Many thanks to her for helping to educate so many.
Dear Premier Clark, Hon. Mr. de Jong, Dr. Kendall,
On May 31, 2011, the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancers 31 international scientists officially classified microwave radiation from wireless devices a 2b carcinogen.
This is major news! All of those gadgets which have become essential to our lives, and which surround us 24/7 might cause cancer. Thousands of studies done by hundreds of world class scientists over several decades have shown serious health effects like blood brain barrier leakage which causes neurological problems, or DNA damage which can cause mutation of cells, or hormonal changes which can lead to cancer. But, due largely to industry influence, these have been ignored, until MAY 31, 2011!!
But what does our esteemed Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Perry Kendall say? In a letter posted on the BC Centre for Disease Control he mocks the rating, saying it means that radiation from cell phones is no more dangerous than coffee. He deliberately misleads the public by making them believe that using a microwave device, all day, radiating your head is no worse than drinking a cup of coffee. Shame on him for not saying that drinking huge amounts of coffee has been linked to bladder cancer.
Dr. Kendall says many everyday items are given a 2b rating. This is a lie. There are 200 substances in this category and few would consider lead, DDT or industrial chemicals everyday items.
He further states that this decision by IARC was based on old information, implying that means the decision was immaterial. First, the decision was based on a thorough review of all available science, including several new studies regarding cellphones which were not included in the infamous Interphone study. Because the Interphone study had been funded largely by the telecom companies, and industry affiliated researchers had participated in setting the guidelines for the study, many independent scientists held back their reports. They refused to be tinged by the taint of collusion which surrounded that multimillion dollar report.
Why does Dr. Kendall whitewash the IARC decision when he should be encouraging precautionary policies to protect the public? He clearly is not doing his job. Why, Dr. Kendall? In the past when asked about Canada s lack of protective guidelines regarding WiFi in schools, cell transmitters near homes and hospitals, and children sleeping with cell phones you said you believed there was no evidence of harm and you looked to Health Canada which followed WHO s lead. Now that the WHO has found evidence of harm, enough to call wireless radiation a possible carcinogen, you decide WHO is wrong. You decide WHO is wrong. You, with no research experience on the topic, decide you know more than all of the experts on the IARC panel.
Shame on you, Dr. Kendall. Did you not take the Hippocratic oath when you became a doctor? Have you handed it over to the gods of industry? I can think of no other reason for your shameful failure to do your job.
I call upon the Minister of Health to fire you for gross negligence. British Columbia deserves better than you, Dr. Kendall.
Yours truly,
Sharon Noble

'New Zealand s approach to this issue is the approach of big business trying to protect their interests. They know there are dangers but if people discover this they will lose a huge amount of money,' Goldsworthy said.
'I became interested in the effect of radio waves on living organisms, both animals and plants. At first I didn not believe the signals could do any damage at all, it went against my whole instincts, but then when I went more deeply into it I could see the mechanism by which it was happening and why everything fitted together. It was like a eureka moment in reverse. Instead of feeing elated at having discovered something, I felt sick.'...

Important New Scientific Study
Our analysis of the literature studies and of the results from meta-analyses of the significant data alone shows an almost doubling of the risk of head tumours induced by long-term mobile phone use or latency.
Opponents tie cancer to SmartMeters, Wi-Fi, cell phones ...
'The WHO finding is groundbreaking. The idea that Wi-Fi, SmartMeters and all the wireless technologies are completely safe was piggybacked on the pronouncements that cell phones are completely safe. This WHO study calls all that into question,' Morey said.
Monday June 13, 2011 ? The Victoria School Board s Wi-Fi Committee presented their motion on Wi-Fi, which passed at the Operations Policy and Planning meeting. The motion basically recommended to continue examining the evidence from Health Canada and the World Health Organization in spite of the WHO s recent reclassification of radio frequency, electromagnetic radiation as a 2B carcinogen, the same as lead, DDT, chloroform, and car exhaust.
One trustee went on record to say he had heard enough to know Wi-Fi is a potential threat to children and should not be used in schools. The Chair of the Wi-Fi Committee- the SB Treasurer (no conflict there), likened the risk of daily exposure to microwave radiation from Wi-Fi as the same as crossing the street, which we allow our children to do. This is the level of ignorance at times we are up against.
It is far from over though; parents and others will continue to hold school officials accountable until responsible action is taken to protect children.

der Mobilfunkbetreiber Telefonica Germany (O2) ist einem Grundsatzurteil des Bundesgerichtshofs in Karlsruhe zur Wirksamkeit einer Kündigung eines von ihm sehr einseitig formulierten 30jährigen Mietvertrages mit einer Vertragsaufhebung zuvorgekommen. Das bundesweit von vielen Bürgern, Kommunen, Initiativen und Juristen mit Spannung erwartete Urteil des BGH bleibt damit aus.
Auf Bestreben von O2 kam jetzt eine außergerichtliche Einigung mit einer Grundstücksbesitzerin aus dem Landkreis Ebersberg/Bayern zustande. Diese hatte auf Feststellung der Wirksamkeit der Kündigung ihres mit 02 geschlossenen Mietvertrages geklagt und in letzter Instanz beim Bundesgerichtshof in Karlsruhe Revision eingelegt.
Mit dem Rückzieher von O2 ist es der Mobilfunkbranche erneut gelungen, den Status quo zu ihren eigenen Gunsten aufrecht zu erhalten. Das Angebot außergerichtlicher Regelungen bei unsicherem Prozessausgang ist gängige Praxis der Mobilfunkbetreiber.
