Electromagnetic Radiation
By Chellis Glendinningm Journalist Guest, 24/10/2012
Not surprisingly, the Authority for the Supervision and Regulation of Telecommunications and Transport has said a few days ago that the electromagnetic emissions such as those from antennas, iPhones, Wi-Fi, flash drives, etc. they have no biological effect.
In countries with more technological development that Bolivia is a very long tradition of statements like that. Forked Tongues companies and governments already told us before atomic radiation, asbestos, pesticides, hormones, lead, plastics, etc. are harmless to the health of living beings. And in this case is no different.
The argument is always that there are not enough scientific research. Even after Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, the U.S. government was still saying that nuclear radiation is not harmful! On electromagnetic radiation, multiple investigations, many of them made by companies in the industry, for military organizations, government, universities and independent researchers showing that radiation have adverse effects on human health. Data that, apparently, the ATT could not find on Google.
What is truly amazing is that the World Health Organization (WHO) has second thoughts about it. In 2011 electromagnetic radiation classified in category 2B class for cancer.
But there is another twist in the story: In 2002 Gro Harlem Brundtland, a medical doctor, former prime minister of Norway and then above the head of the WHO, said that the phones were banned in offices in Genoa. Personally, she felt sick if a cell was four feet away from her. But information about the health of the head of the health organization, published March 9, 2002 in Dagbladet, was ignored by every newspaper in the world and five months after Brundtland be leaving his position as the head of the WHO.
She is the victim of electromagnetic radiation hypersensitivity (EHS). It is dangerous for everyone, but some people may feel it immediately. According to the Commission for Electromagnetic Safety, the overall incidence of EHS has grown in recent years. Says researcher Dr. Magda Havas of Trent University in Canada than in countries where these technologies have been around longer than in Bolivia, 34 percent of the population has EHS, 3 percent severely. With the advent of 4G technologies such as satellite coverage in the U.S. and their own personal devices with Wi-Fi system, my personal observation is that more people are falling to the EHS and without a healthy place to live, most are committing suicide. And as science journalist says the New York Times, Blake Levitt, the story of today produces statistics tomorrow.
According to Havas and her partner Dr. Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, EHS symptoms may include mental confusion, memory loss, dizziness, headache, nausea, ringing in the ears, heart arrhythmias, chest pressure, muscle and joint pain, hair loss, hearing loss, vision loss, impaired immune system, inflammation, anxiety, depression and insomnia. Later may develop cancers, heart attacks, leukemia, broken genes, birth defects and more.
Sadly, we can expect the arrival of medical problems such as proliferating more and more sources of radiation here in Bolivia. There are personal things that a family can do, such as installing cable internet, turn off your Wi-Fi when not using the connection and use old equipment. But in the end the solution will come when people demand to live in a healthy world.
