Once I take it away, he settles down. That convinced me how dangerous they are.'' (jenku02, posted Feb 23, 2012).
Peter Janis, head of the citizen s group objecting to the plan, said that he expects a lawsuit suit to block the proposal to be filed within the next week or two.

This is the information that was e-mailed to me when I inquired about the form:
''The accidental radiation occurrence (ARO) report form to which you refer is submitted (as instructed on the form, itself) to the CDRH Document Control group, where it is scanned into the incoming correspondence database and then forwarded, electronically, to the operating Division within CDRH responsible for regulating the manufacture, distribution, and installation of the device that is involved in the reported accidental radiation occurrence. The report is then assigned for evaluation to a staff reviewer familiar with the device in question. Following the review, the staffer prepares a response letter in which his/her evaluation (review and interpretation) of the report is provided, along with a request for additional information (if necessary), referral to State authorities (if applicable), or referral to the responsible device manufacturer (if appropriate).''

Dear Arizonans for Safer Utility Infrastructure and other Interested Parties,
Now, at long last, it is Arizona s turn to consider statewide policies on smart meters, joining other states who have already done so, including California, Maine, Michigan, Illinois, Maryland, Vermont, Nevada, etc.
The attachment document was sent today by the Arizona Corporation Commission, to announce there a meter workshop will be held on March 23, 2012 from 9:30 am to 12:30 am in Phoenix.
I urge you to consider submitting any informational or opinion based material to the open docket set up to receive citizen concerns about smart meters located on the AZCC website http://www.azcc.gov .
The open docket, e-Docket Number: E-00000C-11-0328, can be added to until the AZCC votes on this issue, I was told.
If you are able to attend the workshop in person and testify as to your concerns, that would be ideal. Numbers count and yor voices are needed now! Call Shaylin Bernal at the AZCC to make advance arrangements to testify by phone: 602 542-3931
I have asked for an advance copy of the proposed policies, since the customers need to read it in advance in order to participate meaningfully in the proceedings. Customers are stakeholders and I understand that the utility and governmet stakeholders have already seen it. At the fall hearing when these porposed policies were under discussion, health and privacy were the primary concerns raised but, as you all know by now, consumer cost, fire safety and cybersecurity are also related metering issues.
Hello, just to remind, there will not be a meeting at church this weekend, as the meeting will in a sense be the protest out front of the Kamloops Full Gospel Church on Tranquille beside the Fire Hall.
THIS IS ON SUNDAY THE 26th at 10AM-12 (maybe longer depending)
Also we will now be meeting, starting the 3rd march at Desert Gardens on Seymour still same time 1pm on SATURDAYS.
If people want to canvas the neighbourhood around the cell tower, please let me know if you want to or if you have what streets you want to do or have done as we come closer to that day. We will be working on a flyer but if you want to go before this gets out, please do so.
I cannot say enough the importance of your attendance to this event, this tower will be a collector hub for ALL smart meter signals at least on North Shore, cell signals back and forth etc. We really need to show the Fire Department they are supported and the neighbourhood as well that we are out there and there are people who they can contact and know this Tower is bad news.
This will be, and must be, a group effort an hour or 2 of your time will go a long way, press has said they will attend also, so please help us make this our biggest event yet! Ask a friend or two to come out with you also

A Sheriff is not expected to cherry pick laws or interpret health science. Yet Santa Cruz County Sheriff Phil Wowak has done both, subverting the democratic will of the people, arresting peaceful protesters while actively facilitating PG&E s unlawful installation at the cost of our health, privacy and safety.

David Suzuki is a world renowned environmentalist. Several times over the past few years I have provided scientific evidence of serious harm to health and the environment, to the Suzuki Foundation, but have always been ignored. Finally Suzuki has now recognised that electromagnetic radiation is an issue, but in this article have chosen to downplay the significance and dangers.
If Suzuki and other environmental groups handled all environmental issues with such a soft touch, people would never be knowledgeable about environmental harm. It is obvious that EMF scientists who warn of the research showing harm, have not been consulted for this article.

I have not seen, in the recent past, an article as poorly written, and with as many flaws and distortions, as the piece above. I am confused as to whether the author is simply ignorant and failed to check the facts, or whether it is really a process when information is knowingly falsified to impress people and mock known scientific facts. In either case, the author should be ashamed, and should spend some time educating himself before writing.
''WiFi routers also emit RF waves, though they are fraction of the low-level radiation produced by cellphones'', radiation is not measured in 'fractions', please do yourself (and your readers) a favor and open a basic book. You have constructed a flawed sentence, scientifically speaking. ''Fractions'' do not measure neither radiation, nor the ratio between different types of radiations emitted by various sources.
''By one estimate, a year s worth of exposure to WiFi is the equivalent of talking 20 minutes on a cellphone.'' By which estimate? Come on, you are a journalist, you claim to write an article to inform your readership, then treat them with respect. This is sloppy journalism at its best. Do your homework and respect your readers' intelligence, some of them do not get impressed with phrases such as 'by one estimate'. This is not scientific, and when you make an argument, the number one requirement is to properly quote your sources.
''...FM radio, television, microwave ovens, the ground (in the form of radon) and the sun that shines down from the sky produce low-level radiation as well.'' They are all different types of radiation, some are pulsed, others are not, some are on certain frequencies, others use other frequencies, this is like comparing apples with oranges, and the entire argument is nonsensical and irrelevant.
''Radiation exposure from WiFi is about 100,000 times less than waves emitted from a microwave. Have the microwaves been removed from school cafeterias and teachers? lunchrooms?'' ''100,000 times less''...what do you mean? Waves emitted and measured outside, or inside the microwave? Are you comparing the environment inside the microwave with the environment around a WiFi? That, again, does not show much logic, neither does it reveal any basic knowledge about science or science methods.
''What about coffee? The IARC also considers that a level 2b carcinogen, meaning it s about as ?dangerous? as cellphones.'' Another nonsensical comparison. Coffee is consumed by choice, it is not pulverized in the environment so people drink or inhale it whether they want it or not. You can NOT compare an ingested chemical with an airborne exposure. That, again, is not scientific, and it defies all principles of science, logic, and common sense.
''But the evidence for these claims is the same as the ''evidence'' that vaccines cause autism''. No, it is not. Read the literature; obviously, you are ignorant about the topic you write.

Another reply to the same article:
Mr. Picard
I can not remember a worse quality article in a National newspaper, as the one linked above. Are you being blackmailed? Is someone paying you to write this rubbish?
Your facts are wrong and you make fun of an important initiative that may save hundreds of thousands of children from future health problems. Quite frankly, I would expect a more accurate and better written article in the National Inquirer.
As you have failed to conduct your own research, I have provided you with links and attachments, so you can correct this false information and can apologise to the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association and to the readers of the Globe and Mail.
This post about the asbestos and mobile phone industries recently appeared on the site of the Swiss EM advocacy group, ARA, following the verdict of the trial of two directors of the Swiss company Eternit in Turin, Italy. I translated it into English and placed it on my site ''Towards Better Health'' for the URL:
Not surprisingly, the older the woman, the higher the prevalence of infertility. Yet infertility appears to be rising among younger women as well, the study finds. In 1984, about 5% of couples with a female partner age 18 to 29 were infertile. By 2009-10, the prevalence for the same age group ranged from seven to 13.7%.
Threatened fertility: Is male sperm count declining?
Red flags first went up in the 1990s on the possibility of sperm decline with the publication of a controversial Danish study that suggested that sperm count was declining at such a rapid rate that there would be little left in 50 years. Dr. Shanna Swan, a reproductive epidemiologist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City analyzed the data used in the Danish study and came up with the same results. Then she did studies of her own.
Note: This is probably the most important subject discussed in this council chamber, yet the speaker still gets cut off before being allowed to finish the presentatation.
''Transmission range is between 10 and 75 meters (33 and 246 feet) and up to 1500 meters for zigbee pro, although it is heavily dependent on the particular environment. The output power of the radios is generally 0 dBm (1 mW).''
Grayson used handheld meters to measure radiation emitted from three CFL bulbs of 10, 13 and 23 watts and three traditional incandescent bulbs of 40, 60 and 100 watts. He said he was surprised at the results. He called his project, ''Is it a bright idea? Illuminating the dangers of CFL bulbs.''
''Multi-tasking or Multi-distracting: What is happening in our classrooms?''
The situation is ironic. Around us and among students we notice a great increase in depression, anxiety, cyber bullying, lack of proper social skills and short attention spans, yet students are, unfortunately, encouraged by media, advertisements, families, and even our education system to constantly use electronic devices that foster those same problems!
''I think it s way premature,'' said Phil Squire, chairperson of the London District Catholic school board. ''At this point in time I don t think that there s compelling scientific evidence that Wi-Fi is a threat to children in the classroom.''
Makes you wonder whether the children are smarter than the people running the schools?

Kaleva, Finland: School in Ylivieska becomes mobile-free
In Finland, a school in Ylivieska has announced it is a mobile-free zone. Children have had to turn off their mobiles in school since the beginning of 2012. The aim is to achieve a more peaceful working environment for the children and to avoid the possible health risks of electromagnetic radiation. Mobile-free schools are very rare in Finland. According to the principal of the school, the health risks are unknown so there is cause for being careful.
