Strauch ignoriert Beschlüsse der Stadtverordnetenversammlung
'Langsam aber sicher verlieren wir die Geduld! Warum setzt Bürgermeister Walter Strauch, das vom Steinauer Stadtparlament parteiübergreifend im Juni 2009 beschlossen Mobilfunkkonzept nicht um?' fragt Frau Helga Henschke, bei der letzten Sitzung der Bürgerinitiative 'Bürger für mobilfunksenderfreie Wohngebiete in Steinau'.
In den letzten Wochen seien Mitten in Steinau wieder neue Antennen errichtet worden, ohne dass eine Prüfung stattgefunden habe. Will Herr Strauch das Konzept solange hinauszögern, bis die Mobilfunkbetreiber fertig aufgerüstet haben? Nicht nur auf der Leimenheeg sei der zweite UMTS-Sender dazugeschaltet worden, auch im Industriegebiet sei ein neuer Sender aufgerichtet worden. Dagegen sei in Schlüchtern der UMTS-Sender von e-plus auf Grund des Widerspruchs der Stadt noch nicht eingeschaltet worden!' berichtete die Vorsitzende Renate Schuch.
Obwohl ein Beschluss der Stadtverordneten von Steinau vom Dezember vorläge, der besage, dass keine neuen Sendemasten errichtet werden sollten, bevor nicht endlich das Mobilfunkkonzept erstellt worden sei! betont Frau Schuch.
Wenn man bedenke, dass der interfraktionelle Beschluss für dieses Konzept im Juni 2009 erfolgte, und jetzt im Februar 2011 noch nicht umgesetzt sei, erhebt sich für die Bürger, die das Prinzip der Gesundheitsvorsorge umgesetzt sehen möchten, der Verdacht, dass den Mobilfunkbetreibern Zeit zugestanden werde, schnell noch Fakten zu schaffen, die aber leider nicht der Gesundheitsvorsorge dienlich seien. Der Bayrische Verwaltungsgerichtshof habe diesbezüglich ein wichtiges Urteil gesprochen! Schon in dem ersten Satz der Erläuterung werde darauf eingegangen, dass Mobilfunkanlagen aus Gründen des vorbeugenden Gesundheitsschutzes sowie der Gestaltung des Ortsbildes aus allen Wohngebieten ausgeschlossen werden. Die Gefährdung durch die von Mobilfunkstationen herrührenden Strahlenbelastung sei nicht dem Bereich der rechtlich irrelevanten Immissionsbefürchtungen, sondern dem vorsorgerelevanten Risikoniveau zuzuordnen.
Das zeige doch, dass ein Umdenken in den entscheidenden Gremien erfolge!
Unter diesem Aspekt sei auch die Meldung aus München zu verstehen, wenn dort nach nur zweieinhalb Monaten nach seiner Einführung der neue digitale Polizeifunk (TETRA) wegen zu großer Probleme schon wieder abgeschaltet wurde, konnte Herr Joachim Zier berichten.
Durch das Beispiel von 'Stuttgart 21' werde deutlich, dass der Bürger eine ehrliche und transparentere Politik fordere. Die Anwesenden des Treffens sähen aber keine Ehrlichkeit im Handeln des Magistrats, wenn 'kurz vor Torschluss' Entschlüsse gefasst würden, die Entscheidungen der Stadtverordneten widersprechen.

Bürgerinitiative vermisst in Steinau das vielgepriesene 'Miteinander'
Die Bürger für mobilfunksenderfreie Wohngebiete trafen sich zu ihrer Jahreshauptversammlung in der Gaststätte 'Grüner Baum' . Nachdem nun die Gelder für das Mobilfunkkonzept bereitstünden und der Auftrag an das EMF- Institutbereits letztes Jahr vergeben worden sei, stand die Frage für die Anwesenden im Vordergrund, warum die Stadt bis heute nicht in der Lage sei, innerhalb von 3 Monaten dem EMF-Institut dringend benötigte Daten zu liefern. Außerdem fragte man sich, warum ein neuer Mobilfunkmast mittlerweile errichtet worden sei, obwohl man seitens der Stadt damit warten wollte bis das Konzept fertig sei. In der Regel dauere die Fertigstellung eines Mobilfunkkonzeptes ca. 1 Monat nach Auftragvergabe, wie Bürgermeister Walter Strauch der Initiative gegenüber mitteilte.
Hinzu käme, dass man sich im Bergwinkel für eine teurere und störanfälligere Technik für das schnelle DSL per Funkübertragung entschieden hätte. Gäbe es im Main-Kinzig-Kreis doch Gemeinden ? unter anderem auch SPD geführte -, die viel günstiger per Kabel ihren interessierten Bürgern eine schnelle Verbindung anbieten könnten, statt wie die Gemeinden Sinntal, Schlüchtern und Steinau, die über einen kreiseigenen 'Versorgungsservice mit OR-Network zusammen' dies in Zukunft tun wollen.
Es wurde eine neue Informationsbroschüre über die erheblichen gesundheitlichen Risiken durch die Nutzung von WLAN-Netzen im privaten Bereich, in Schulen sowie am Arbeitsplatz, vorgestellt. Da heutige Medien kaum eine kritische Information transportierten, gebe dieser Ratgeber 'Vorsicht WLAN!' aus industrieunabhängiger Forschung dem Leser wichtige Erkenntnisse. Selbst die Bundesregierung empfehle kabelgebundene Lösungen für Internet ?Zugänge.
Wie schon im Jahr 2000 Dr. Neil Cherry, Lincoln Universität, Neuseeland, in seiner umfassenden Dokumentation für die Regierung feststellte, könnte ? wenn alle Städte unter anderem auf Glasfaserkabel umsteigen würden ? die Belastung der Bevölkerung auf ein Minimum reduziert werden!
Einen Vergleich griffen die Anwesenden noch auf: Jahrzehntelang wurden Warnungen bezüglich der Atomstrahlung in 'den Wind geschlagen' ? Und wie reagiere man jetzt?

Early Research on the Biological Effects of Microwave Radiation: 1940-1960
February 20, 2011. Thirty years ago, James Kinn with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Elliot Postow with Naval Medical R&D Command compiled a list of 3627 publications on the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation from 1 to 100 GHz. This 574 page document has been scanned and converted into a searchable pdf document. The references in this document are listed by title and author.
The early research on biological effects of microwave radiation between 1940-1960 is reviewed by Cook and colleagues.

Electromagnetic Pulse Radiation. From the early-to mid-1980s, hundreds of employees were continually exposed to high doses of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) radiation while working for the Boeing Corporation. In 1985, one employee was diagnosed with a rare leukemia. After filing a workers? compensation claim, the man uncovered documents showing that Boeing had been using its workers to test the effects of EMP for the Defense Department. In June 1988, he filed a $7 million class action suit against Boeing and other companies. In August 1990, Boeing settled, paying over $500,000 to the man and his family (who established a foundation dedicated to funding EMP education and litigation), as well as funding medical exams and monitoring for workers. After the suit, Boeing minimized employee EMP radiation exposure, implemented an employee health-monitoring program and warned employees of possible dangers during medical examinations. 'Safeguarding Employee Health,' Trial Lawyers Doing Public Justice (August 1991), citing Strom v. Boeing, No. 88-2-10752-1 (King County Super. Ct., Wash., settlement August 15, 1990); Conklin, Ellis, 'His Last Ounce Of Courage,' Seattle Post-Intelligencer, September 6, 1990; Greenwald, Judy, 'Boeing settles radiation experiment suit,' Business Insurance, August 27, 1990.
Britain could face widespread power blackouts and be left without critical communication signals for long periods of time, after the earth is hit by a once-in-a-generation ?space storm?, Nasa has warned.
The solar flares from the 13 and 15 February 2011 certainly show their repercussions on Earth. The magnetic storm yesterday morning (17 Feb) (PST) was still classified as 'stormy,' which translates into fluctuations between 100 nT and 300 nT. The storm started to wane already in the afternoon, we are down to active now, that is, below 100 nT. Today it is still active. Quiet times return when we will reach 30 nT again.
Mind you, most people in Western countries tend to sleep on major magnetic storms each night, anywhere between 1,000 nT to 100,000 nT (this is in addition to the natural background geomagnetic field just like the natural fluctuations mentioned above), in the form of heavily magnetized box spring mattresses.
If you do not believe me, take an oil-filled compass and check whether it shows due north across your entire bed or whether the needle dances around. A deviation of about 10° translates into roughly 5,000 nT.

FREIE WÄHLER zu: Innenminister verweigert Informationen über BOS-Sendeanlagen
Fahn: 'Standorte von Behördenfunk- Sendeanlagen offenlegen!'
München (ls). Dr. Hans Jürgen Fahn, umweltpolitischer Sprecher der FREIE WÄHLER Landtagsfraktion, ist verärgert über die Antwort auf seine Anfrage, wo genau Standorte für Sendeanlagen des Behörden-Digitalfunks in den einzelnen Bezirken und Landkreisen Bayerns geplant sind. Das Bayerische Innenministerium habe ihm lediglich die Anzahl der Sendeanlagen in den jeweiligen Städten und Landkreisen bekanntgegeben - die genaue Lage verschweige das Ministerium hingegen bewusst.
?Innenminister Herrmann versteckt sich mit fadenscheinigen Argumenten hinter den Vorga-ben der Bundesanstalt für den BOS-Digitalfunk und verteidigt die Geheimhaltung von über 900 Standorten von Sendeanlagen in Bayern, statt sich in Berlin für eine Lockerung der Geheimhaltung einzusetzen. Damit handelt Herrmann gegen sein eigenes vollmundiges Versprechen, den Ausbau des Behördenfunknetzes transparent und mit größtmöglicher Beteiligung von Kommunen und Bürgern voranzutreiben. So eine Desinformations-Politik erzürnt vor allem Bürgerinitiativen, die wegen gesundheitlicher Bedenken frühzeitig von geplanten Standorten erfahren möchten, sagte Fahn dazu.
?Der Innenminister hat bereits in der Vergangenheit Fehler beim Erwerb von geeigne-ten Grundstücken eingestanden, die bei den Bürgern für großes Misstrauen gesorgt haben, und jetzt wird ohne Rücksicht so weitergemacht wie bisher. Die schlechten Erfahrungen der Vergangenheit haben gezeigt, dass von der beauftragten Firma Telent zuerst Fakten geschaffen wurden, bevor umsichtige Kommunen und Bürger Vorsor-gemaßnahmen einleiten konnten. Bisher ist nicht bekannt, dass nachträglich eine einzige Standortentscheidung wegen Protesten rückgängig gemacht wurde. Diese Strategie nach Gutsherrenart will das Bayerische Innenministerium offenbar trotz erheblicher Wider-stände weiter durchziehen?, so Fahn abschließend.
A group of international scientists has published a report calling for"greatly reduced exposure limits" for electromagnetic radiation from telecommunications and power line technologies, while similar concerns were being raised by a committee formed by India's government to study similar matters. First, the scientific journal Reviews on Environmental Health published a statement from the "Selectun Scientific Panel," which says the "global population is at risk, that the currently accepted measure of radiation risk, the SAR, is inadequate, and that there is abundant evidence biological effects are occurring at exposures 'many orders of magnitude' below existing public safety standards." In the "Selectun Scientific Statement," the scientists said governments should take "decisive action now to protect biological function as well as the health of future generations." "Current U.S. and ICNIRP [International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection] standards for radiofrequency and microwave radiation from wireless technologies are entirely inadequate," said Olle Johansson, who chaired the Selectun Scientific Panel. "They never were intended to address the kind of exposures from wireless devices that now affect over 4 billion people." Elihu Richter, a retired professor of occupational and environmental medicine at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, added, "We are already seeing increases in health problems such as cancer and neurobehavioral impairments, even though these wireless technologies are fairly new in the last decades or so for the general public. This finding suggests that the exposures are already too high to protect people from health harm." Separately, an interministerial committee formed by India's ministry of communications and information technology to study the potential risks caused by mobile devices and wireless towers also raised concerns about health risks and recommended that mobile phones not adhering to standard SAR levels be banned. According to news reports out of India, the panel also recommended other measures, such as not installing wireless towers near residential areas, schools, playgrounds, and hospitals.
From Greece:
Change the limits for exposure to electromagnetic radiation, say scientists
Energy Ecology Environment:
The Electromagnetic Biology Laboratory, Department of Biology, University of Athens issued a press release on scientific studies point to the need to reduce exposure limits to electromagnetic radiation.
As stated in the notice, seven researchers from 5 countries, including Greece (Yuri Grigoriev, Olle Johansson, Lloyd Morgan, Elihu Richter, Cindy Sage, Adamantia Frangopoulou, Lukas Margaritis) are sounding the alarm about an urgent need to reduce the exposure limits electromagnetic radiation, based on recent results of scientific studies. The researchers recommend specific exposure limits for various frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum used by wireless technology, and magnetic fields super-low frequency generated from the distribution and consumption of electricity.
This scientific statement has been published in international journal Reviews on Environmental Health (2010; 25: 307-317).
The study found that the combined effect of mobile phones, wireless phones, mobile phone antenna systems, radio and television stations broadcast system WI-FI and blue tooth wireless Internet devices baby monitors and a number of other wireless devices, putting billions people around the world on a daily risk of neurological and behavioral effects until risk of developing cancer, neurological diseases and reproductive and developmental problems.
Also, the current limits have been proposed 13 years ago, in 1998 the "International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation» (ICNIRP) for electromagnetic radiation from wireless technologies are completely inadequate. Never been to take account of wireless devices that influence everyday now over 4 billion people.
These safety limits are unaware of the developing fetus and young children, the elderly, who are hypersensitive to radiation or immunodeficiency, the most affected as most vulnerable to radiation.
A significant number of analytical studies and thoroughly discussed in this publication has demonstrated biological effects of radiation intensities at hundreds of times lower than current levels.
The assessment of the degree of risk of radiation known as the "Specific Absorption Rate» SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is considered as insufficient to predict biological responses in the effect of radiation on cells and tissues associated with changes in memory, behavior, reproduction, immune system, the disruption of sleep, causing frustration and fatigue, and the creation of brain tumors after more than a decade of use.
The Committee recommends that governments and the World Organization to set lower than current limits public exposure, but also professionally exposed to radiation.
Similarly, all manner of companies involved in manufacturing wireless devices and communication required to find solutions with reduced population exposure to radiation.
As the most vulnerable groups identified as pregnant women and children of all ages who need to avoid using any kind of wireless devices and should be avoided indirect exposure to such radiations.
More generally, scientists are against the use of wireless networks, mobile phones etc indoors in schools, and even premises.
Suggested, finally, the intensification of scientific research in such a complex and multifaceted public health issue, such as the effects of non-ionizing radiation, in order to clarify the mechanisms of action compared with the emission of radiation modes (modulation, prolonged or intermittent exposure, multiple exposures to different frequencies, etc.).

Il prof. Olle Johansson sulle disabilità ambientali From: infoamica | December 03, 2010 | 156 views 3 dicembre 2010. Giornata Internazionale delle Persone con Disabilità: disuguaglianza e discriminazioni intollerabili per chi è affetto da disabilità ambientali e funzionali. Ricorre oggi la Giornata Internazionale delle Persone con Disabilità, promossa dalle Nazioni Unite. I dati indicano che circa il 10% della popolazione mondiale, pari a 650 milioni di persone, ha una disabilità e l'80% dei disabili (più di 400 milioni di persone) vive nei paesi poveri. La disabilità, però, colpisce in modo sempre maggiore anche nei paesi sviluppati dove la popolazione è esposta a sostanze tossiche e campi elettromagnetici spesso incontrollati e dannosi anche quando sono sotto la soglia di sicurezza indicata dagli standard internazionali. In Italia sono particolarmente vulnerabili coloro affetti da cosiddette "disabilità ambientali", cioè condizioni che risentono direttamente di questo tipo di esposizioni, come le persone affette Elettrosensibilità o da Sensibilità Chimica Multipla (MCS) perché si tratta di patologie non ancora pienamente inquadrate come vere e proprie malattie, anche se nel caso della MCS questo non è vero in altri paesi, visto che la MCS è riconosciuta dalla Codice Internazionale delle Malattie dell'OMS in molti paesi, tra cui Germania e Austria. Queste malattie, almeno nelle prime fasi, non sempre comportano un danno organico misurabile, ma determinano una incapacità a vivere in un determinato ambiente. Almeno nel nostro Paese è molto difficile che vengano applicate per queste condizioni le leggi per la tutela del posto di lavoro o che vengano adottati protocolli ospedalieri speciali. Tra le patologie che comportano "disabilità ambientali" si annoverano anche il favismo, per l'intolleranza alle minime tracce di legumi nell'ambiente, o l'autismo, l'emicrania, e l'epilessia che comporano reazioni per rumori (iperacusia) o luci forti (fotosensibilità). Anche il Lupus Eritomatosus può essere considerata una disabilità ambientale, perché spesso comporta reazioni dermatologiche molto serie per l'esposizione ai raggi del sole o a certi raggi ultravioletti delle lampadine fluorescenti, oggi molto di moda per il risparmio energetico. Chi reagisce a specifici fattori ambientali, indipendentemente dalla causa (tossica, come nel caso della MCS) o genetica (nel caso del favismo o dell'epilessia), ha difficoltà enormi nel far riconoscere la propria condizione e le proprie esigenze di vivere pienamente la vita sociale e lavorativa. Il prof. Johansson riferisce che l'Elettrosensibiltà, per esempio, è riconosciuta pienamente come "invalidità funzionale" dalla Svezia sin dal 2000. Questo si traduce, per esempio, in un aiuto economico per affrontare le spese necessarie a schermare la casa dai campi elettromagnetici. Questo riconoscimento vuole mettere in pratica i principi di non discriminazione e di uguaglianza promossi dalla Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sui Diritti delle Persone con Disabilità che anche l'Italia ha firmato il 30 marzo 2007.

Thanks so much. I literally have the biggest migraine right now, I want this meter off my house! I have had headaches since the first day as well as my husband. I have worked nonstop for the past month, writing long letters to state rep, senator, attorney general, congress, with scientific studies of harm with such chronic exposure. I am petitioning door to door, at schools, and grocery stores, signs and flyers everywhere. If there isn't some positive news next week, I'm having a lawsuit. I have been the only one around here who knows anything about thow these meters work and the dangers, so I started informing people and everyone is disturbed over it. I have a hand written petition as well, and now have started this one,

If we want to STOP SMART METERS, we're going to have to RAISE OUR VOICES! Please spread the word widely to your contacts. If you can't travel to San Francisco on Wednesday, consider holding a protest at a Public Utilities Commission near where you live and contacting the media.
Wed. Feb 16: PROTEST in front of CPUC offices at 505 Van Ness (at McAllister) in San Francisco. 12 Noon until about 1:30-2, or as long as you can stay. Bring signs, bring friends, wear red or bright color. Goal is 100+ people this time, so fill those buses, trains, ferries, and carpools!
Thurs. Feb 24: SPEAK at CPUC MEETING (in the open time right after the 9:30 a.m. start). 505 Van Ness. Two new commissioners will be seated, so this opportunity is critical! It is especially important for commissioners to hear from electrically sensitive people and others adversely affected by SmartMeters. Arrive before 9:30 to complete a sign-up card in the foyer. Goal is 30+++ people. Two minute maximum speaking time --likely reduced to one minute with 30 or more speakers. Let's be sure they hear from all of us!

I received a letter from Ms. White on February 1st, 2011 which stated that Dr. Arlene King, Chief Medical Officer of Health for the Province of Ontario, issued a statement on September 16th, 2010, stating that WIFI presents no serious health risks. I believe she is referring to the OAHPP report. It seems to be on the basis of this report alone that you have decided to implement wireless technology.
I would like to remind Ms. Pitters that I emailed her twice in November asking to discuss this report, as there is much to critique in it. In particular, it seems that the effects of wifi have been compared to cellphone use, which is odd, considering that cellphones are used a few minutes a day, while wifi is broadcasting all the time. There is a big difference between an occasional exposure and a constant exposure. There are a number of other serious concerns with this report, which does not in any way justify a conclusion that there are no serious health risks. In fact, the report states in its own conclusions:
"Research on potential health effects from exposure to RF energy is an active field of investigation. Not surprisingly there is inconsistency and in some cases conflict between the results of individual studies. Given this inconsistency, it is possible to select the results of individual research studies in support of a variety of opinions; which may range from no risk of health effects on the one hand, to a clear need to reduce current exposure limits on the other. For this reason, up-to-date reviews of literature which follow a weight of evidence approach are far more useful for informing debate and sound policy making than reliance on individual studies."
The "weight of evidence" approach has itself been criticized as being unscientific. (Professor Jerry Phillips recently spoke to CBC about this - listen to: http://www.cbc.ca/thesundayedition/shows/2011/01/30/egypt-protests---cellphone-radiation---ken-nordine/#socialcomments . The interview is in the last half of the second hour.) It is far too easy for people to cherry-pick their studies, and for industry to manipulate data. There are, however, plenty of good studies showing harm.
I have sent links to quite a bit of information to Ms. Pitters, but now have the impression that it was not considered. To impose such a questionable technology on the people in your care without doing your own research seems to me rather negligent. You may very well have ignored "the best advice possible".
But this is not just about serious health risks, it is also about serious discomforts, such as those suffered by my father. I know dozens of people who have suffered such discomforts; healthy, robust adults and children with no other cause for their symptoms. How can you possibly say that no frail or cognitively impaired seniors will be adversely affected by wifi?
It is irresponsible in the extreme to go ahead with wifi installation based on such a poor quality report. At the very least, you should have available long-term studies of the effects of constant exposure to wireless radiation on the cognitively impaired and frail elderly. It is morally wrong to use the residents of long-term care homes as research subjects without their knowledge or consent.
I will re-iterate the questions which must be answered in regards to wireless technology deployment:
1.How do you intend to ascertain which residents, many of whom are non-verbal or inarticulate, are suffering from wifi-related effects?
2. How will you tell the difference between a progression of underlying disease and the effects of the wireless radiation?
3. Will a comprehensive health survey of all staff and residents be undertaken before and after the wifi is activated?
4. Will all volunteers and private care givers be informed of the health risks of wifi and be fully informed of the radiation they will be receiving?
5. When residents show signs of electrosensitivity, how will they be protected from the wireless radiation, which goes through doors, ceilings and floors?
6. Will pregnant staff be granted a fully paid leave of absence for the duration of their pregnancy, to protect unborn children from the risks of radiation exposure?
There are more studies and more reports being published on this issue every week. What would make it clear enough to you that it is harmful, at which point you would immediately dismantle the wireless technology? This will happen eventually, and it would be better not to waste taxpayers' money on this experiment in the first place.
These questions will not go away. Ms. Pitters has declined to answer them, so I will ask Ms. White to do so. Someone has to take responsibility here.

Comment Posted:
This is an indefensible idea. Maternal use of a cell phone during pregnancy is reported to cause altered fetal brain development that results in negative learning and behavioral problems in the child by the time the child reaches primary school age (Divan et al., 2008). The Seletun Scientific Statement (Reviews on Environmental Health, 2010) and the BioInitiative Report (2007) both warn against the use of cell phones by pregnant women and children. No mother who is pregnant, or who is close to children should be using a cell phone, let alone for the dubious reasons given here (for health reasons). Malignant brain tumors and acoustic neuromas are significantly elevated with ipsilateral use of cell and cordless phones at only 10 years and longer latency (a doubling of risk). Clinton should know better, and should back away from this very ill-advised plan.

The Knesset will advance a law regarding the presentation of the radiation level on the mobile phone and a warning when there is low reception. Prof Sadezky presented data on cell phones and driving, in Russia the phone use was banned, in 21 states in the US young people's use during driving is banned, in Swizterland, France and England it is banned as well. There is a concern that cell phones damage health, she said in the Knesset, it is needed to be careful even if the relationship on cause and effect were not proven yet. She said that in the case of cell phones, the cost of precautionary principle is minor and so there is no reason not to implement it. In 2007, she presented, there were in Israel 245,000 12-15 year old youth with cell phones, they are especially sensitive and there is a need for guidelines for them. Increased risk of 34% of parotid gland tumor in the Interphone, she presented a review of several studies [including Hardell's], which showed that within several years there is no excess of risk but even a protective effect of the phone, after 10 years the risk increased 1.3 fold (acoustic neuroma) 1.1 fold (benign meningioma), risk of glioma on the same side 1.9 fold, acoustic neruroma on the same side 1.6 and 1.3 for meninglioma on the same side where the phone is held.
