ICNIRP's safety limits may be exceeded

The Swiss ITIS laboratory for testing of RF wireless emissions (headed by the former BEMS president Niels Kuster) has a new paper out (Vermeeren et al, 2010). It investigates whether the ICNIRP public safety standards for Europe and other countries (and similar to the US FCC limits in many respects) may be non-compliant with existing safety standards, meaning some existing protocols may mask safety violations.

The study looked at reflections which can occur in daily living and working environments within close proximity to cell antenna base stations (30 cm, 1 meters, 3 meters and 10 meters), which could lead to greater exposures than predicted by assessments of RF sources in 'free space'. The frequencies tested included cell phone and PCS frequencies from six base station antennas operating at 300 MHz, 450 MHz, 900 MHz, 2.1 GHz, 3.5 MHz and 5 GHz. Cell phones operate in the 900 MHz to 3 GHz range.

They reported that by looking at more realistic "reflective environments", the ICNIRP safety limits may be violated due to varying exposure environments.

This is a very important study, in that it documents inadequacy of existing cell antenna (base station) exposures in some instances that better reflect real-world environments.

It also leads to questions about the adequacy of our US safety standards, and may be relevant to compliance for smart meters and other wireless technology exposures.

Cellphones and the Insurance Industry

--------

CBC The National - Cell Phones and Insurance Companies

21/9/10

In Europe several insurance companies are specifically excluding EMF damage to children from school insurance policies.

60% of underwriters are refusing to cover potential claims from long term use.

Insurers are now forecasting cost of brain tumours to 2020 and 2030.

The Austrian workers compensation board funded its own research showing DNA breaks.

The Italian workers compensation board has last year made a large award for a brain tumour.

Cell phone industry refused to comment.

Radiation Hazards from Cell phones and Cell towers

Prof Kumar and I recently gave a talk on "Radiation Hazards from Cell phones and Cell towers" at KEM Hospital on 20 Sept. 2010. Please find attached our presentation.

We have explained the radiation pattern of Cell tower antenna, main beam and minor beam of an antenna, who are at more danger, radiation norms adopted in different countries, calculations for amount of radiation the body may be exposed to with current radiation norms, epidemiological symptoms observed with proximity to towers, biological effects of these radiations - in particular the effect on children and pregnant women, case studies, impact on the environment - birds, animals, bees, plants etc.

On health effects of electromagnetic radiation in residential areas and schools

Spanish documentary on the health effects of electromagnetic radiation in residential areas and schools, which was censured and never shown on the national TV due to industry's pressure:

POTENTIALLY HARMFUL RADIO FREQUENCIES USED IN THE PACKAGING AND FOOD INDUSTRY

September 19, 2010. Few people realize that radio frequencies (RF) are currently used in the manufacturing industry to mold plastics for car parts, vinyl fabrics, and food packaging. In fact this industry used the first incarnation of the ?microwave? oven that we all enjoy today.

Our home microwave oven works on radio frequencies to heat food. Similarly, radio frequencies, which are much more energy efficient than thermal energy production by fossil fuels, are used to mold and seal plastics. These machines are called RF heaters.

Are these machines safe and who sets the safety standards?

After leaving the U.S. Navy, Dr. Zory Glaser worked for NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and helped formulate our current guidelines with the Canadian government for radio frequency radiation. He passed along a document that I would like to share with you that demonstrates the reasons for establishing the ?thermal effect? guidelines.

Radio frequency (RF) heaters are known to leak radiation. Dr. Glaser was shocked to see that machine operators had taped large fluorescent light tubes to the outside of the machines to determine when they were operating. What worried him was that there were no wires connected to the lights. The leaking radiation was so intense it would light up the tube. These observations resulted in a study by Canadian government officials to determine if these machines were safe to use.

Increasing rates of head melanoma

I noticed that earlier worrying trends of increasing rates of skin melanoma in the head region continues to persist in Sweden.
