Intermittent extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields cause DNA
damage in a dose-dependent way

OBJECTIVES. Epidemiological studies have reported an association between
exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs)
and increased risk of cancerous diseases, albeit without dose-effect
relationships. The validity of such findings can be corroborated only by
demonstration of dose-dependent DNA-damaging effects of ELF-EMFs in
cells of human origin in vitro.

METHODS. Cultured human diploid fibroblasts were exposed to intermittent
ELF electromagnetic fields. DNA damage was determined by alkaline and
neutral comet assay.

RESULTS. ELF-EMF exposure (50 Hz, sinusoidal, 1-24 h, 20-1,000
MicroTesla, 5 min on/10 min off) induced dose-dependent and
time-dependent DNA single-strand and double-strand breaks. Effects
occurred at a magnetic flux density as low as 35 MicroTesla being well
below proposed International Commission of Non-Ionising Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines. After termination of exposure the
induced comet tail factors returned to normal within 9 h.

CONCLUSION. The induced DNA damage is not based on thermal effects and
arouses concern about environmental threshold limit values for ELF
exposure.

Department of Histology and Embryology, Institute of Biology, Faculty of
Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Trg Dositeja Obradovica 2, 21000, Novi
Sad, Yugoslavia

Objective of our study was to use morphophysiological criteria in order
to determine the sensitivity of male rat thyroid gland to an extremely
low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) influence and the ability
of the gland to repair after period of exposure.

Animals were exposed to 50Hz, 50-500 MicroTesla ELF-EMF for 3 months
when
a part of them (group I) were sacrificed, while the rest of animals were
subjected to recovery evaluation of the gland and sacrificed after 1
(group II), 2 (group III) and 3 (group IV) weeks. Histological and
stereological analyses were performed on paraffin and semifine thyroid
gland sections. Serum T3 and T4 were also determined.

Histological and stereological analyses showed that the volume density
of follicular epithelium and thyroid activation index decreased, while the
volume density of colloid and capillary network increased in group I, II
and III. The values of all these parameters in group IV were similar to
corresponding controls. Serum T3 and T4 concentrations were
significantly lower in all exposed animals, except in group I.

Results of this study demonstrate that after significant
morphophysiological changes caused by ELF-EMF exposure thyroid gland
recovered morphologically, but not physiologically, during the
investigated repair period.

Childhood Leukemia: Electric and Magnetic Fields as Possible Risk
Factors


Brain JD, Kavet R, McCormick DL, Poole C, Silverman LB, Smith TJ,
Valberg PA, Van Etten RA, Weaver JC.

Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health,
Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Numerous epidemiologic studies have reported associations between
measures of power-line electric or magnetic fields (EMFs) and childhood
leukemia.

The basis for such associations remains unexplained. In children, acute
lymphoblastic leukemia represents approximately three-quarters of all
U.S. leukemia types.

Some risk factors for childhood leukemia have been established, and
others are suspected. Pathogenesis, as investigated in animal models, is
consistent with the multistep model of acute leukemia development.
Studies of carcinogenicity in animals, however, are overwhelmingly
negative and do not support the hypothesis that EMF exposure is a
significant risk factor for hematopoietic neoplasia.

We may fail to observe effects from EMFs because, from a mechanistic
perspective, the effects of EMFs on biology are very weak. Cells and
organs function despite many sources of chemical "noise" (e.g.,
stochastic, temperature, concentration, mechanical, and electrical
noise), which exceed the induced EMF "signal" by a large factor.

However, the inability to detect EMF effects in bioassay systems may be
caused by the choice made for "EMF exposure." "Contact currents" or
"contact voltages" have been proposed as a novel exposure metric,
because
their magnitude is related to measured power-line magnetic fields. A
contact current occurs when a person touches two conductive surfaces at
different voltages. Modeled analyses support contact currents as a
plausible metric because of correlations with residential magnetic
fields and opportunity for exposure.

The possible role of contact currents as an explanatory variable in the
reported associations between EMFs and childhood leukemia will need to
be clarified by further measurements, biophysical analyses, bioassay
studies, and epidemiology.

Mechanism

Please look at this text on the mechanisms of the EMF (too many
scientists 'officials' say still " there are no explanations "!)

Here is the abstract :
EMF and Stress proteins (Hsp) or Heat shock proteins
Richard GAUTIER (Dr en pharmacie), Roger SANTINI (Dr es sciences)
http://www.csif-cem.org le 17/06/2003

Abstract:
Increase of synthesis of Hsp by the electromagnetic fields (EMF)
generally or by the radio frequencies of the mobile telephony in
particular was widely demonstrated. By studying works relative to the
cellular biochemistry we realizes that these mechanisms are known
(activation of the way of the MAP
Kinase and Hsp, deregulation of the protein synthesis, apoptose pathway)
and consequences in sanitary terms established, whether it is in term of
resistance in anti-cancerous treatments, of confusions of the
intellectual activity, infringement of the BHE, the deficit of the
immunity, the development of cancer.

...........From EMF-L...........
Folks:

I am sending this to everyone -- though I realize that perhaps only
about 10% of you will actually make use of it...... Please forgive me. I
never know which 10% it will be......

This document is an excellent example of two things:

1.) The legal document, itself. Which many of you have never seen, I'm
sure. You will see here the kind of information that must go into the
Complaint to file such a court case.

2.) But more than that. From the perspective of the whole of society --
this document graphically portrays the terrible predicament our society
is allowing itself to get into ... **as the electromagnetic BLUE WORLD
is being allowed to expand totally unmanaged (unregulated) into our home
and work neighborhoods......**

The onslaught of this RF/MW (and power line ELF) electromagnetic
explosion is happening NOW!!!!!

If we (society -- our governments) are unwilling to grapple with the
health hazards and property value damages it is presenting, our courts
will soon be swamped with cases like the following.......

Send this to your congressman/woman. They will understand...... They may
RUN from it....... They may rush to the telecom and power companies to
get more $$$$$$$ for their campaign chest.......

But ... THEY WILL UNDERSTAND!!!!!!

Cheerio.........

COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF RE NUISANCE WITH JURY DEMAND
AS TO DAMAGES

Plaintiffs William Hicks, Bonnie Hicks, Brett Onnink, Leslee Onnink,
Peggy Barber, Paul Barber and LouAnn Pennington for their complaint
allege as follows:
Jurisdiction and Parties
1. Plaintiffs William Hicks and Bonnie Hicks own and reside at 55685
Clover Road, Mishawaka, IN within the County of St. Joseph, State of
Indiana.
2. Plaintiffs Brett Onnink and Leslee Onnink own and reside at 3112
Mishawaka Avenue, South Bend, IN within the County of St. Joseph, State
of Indiana.
3. Plaintiffs Paul Barber and Peggy Barber own and reside at 352 Weber
Street, Roseland, IN within the County of St. Joseph, State of Indiana.
4. Plaintiff LouAnn Pennington owns and resides at 55650 Clover Road,
Mishawaka, IN within the County of St. Joseph, State of Indiana.
5. Defendants Charles S. Hayes and Jacqueline L. Horvath are each
individuals resident in the County of St. Joseph, State of Indiana. Such
defendants are either the agents of defendants Charles S. Hayes, Inc.
and Horvath Communications, Inc. and are personally responsible for the
nuisances alleged hereafter as such, or they are principals of such
corporations, the corporations themselves merely shells through which
such defendants operate their business of constructing, owning and
operating cellular telephone towers throughout St. Joseph County.
6. Defendants Charles S. Hayes, Inc. and Horvath Communications, Inc.
are each a corporation established pursuant to the laws of the State of
Indiana with its principal place of business in St. Joseph County.

Facts: Defendants and Plaintiffs
7. Defendants own, operate and maintain cellular telephone towers,
scattered across St. Joseph County, many in close proximity to
residential property, schools and other places of human congregation;
each are equipped with a number of antennae each of which emit microwave
electromagnetic radiation.
8. The homes of plaintiffs William Hicks and Bonnie Hicks and Lou Ann
Pennington are located within 700 feet of the defendants, 235 foot high
cellular telephone tower at 2010 Mick Court, Mishawaka.
9. Plaintiffs Brett Onnink and Leslee Onninks, property abuts the
defendants, 187 foot high cellular telephone tower which is located at
3108 Mishawaka Avenue, South Bend; in fact defendants, installation
encroaches on the Onninks, property.
10. Plaintiffs Paul Barber and Peggy Barbers, property is located within
100 feet of the defendants, 199 foot high cellular telephone tower,
which has as its address 436 McComb, Roseland.
11. William Hicks and Bonnie Hicks have one child, Cody, who is 3 years
of age.
12. Brett Onnink and Leslee Onnink have two children, Marshall, 4 and
Reid, 3.
13. Paul Barber and Peggy Barber have one child Kimberly, aged 6.
14. Lou Ann Pennington has one child living with her, Kris, a college
student, aged 20.

Facts: Nature and Impact of Cellular Telephone Towers
15. Growing numbers and varieties of scientific studies of microwaves
emitted from cellular telephone base stations, or towers, have reported
disturbing health effects in areas relatively close to such towers.
16. For example a study of generations of laboratory mice placed near
microwave towers in the vicinity of Thessalonika, Greece, show
increasing levels of sterility, until, by only the fourth generation,
the mice subject to the study had shown complete sterility.
17. Other research has demonstrated a variety of adverse health
developments associated with microwave towers, including weakened immune
systems, tumors, neurological disorders, learning and memory problems,
sleep disturbances, headaches and even skin rashes.
18. The variety of symptoms just recited likely is explained by the fact
that microwave radiation in the vicinity of such towers interfere in a
way similar to cell phone interference with landing commercial aircraft:
they conflict with, or resonate with (or against), the essentially
electrical process of human cells. As to landing aircraft, cell phones
are ordered turned off; no such order exists for humans living under
microwave base stations.
19. Scientific studies are already showing some disturbing incidences of
pre-cancerous cell breakdown as a result of microwave impact; in fact
scientists have observed changes associated with microwave radiation in
DNA, the very fabric of life.
20. Exhibit A attached hereto is a listing of studies only through 1997
reflecting microwave effects on human and animal tissue.
21. The foregoing scientific developments are, by process of publication
and growing citizen and political debate, becoming well known, with the
result that the publics concern about living, or even attending school
or working for substantial periods of time in the near vicinity of
microwave base stations, is and has been growing at an increasing rate.
22. That growing concern includes a developing realization among many
that any single or microwave tower may carry a multitude of antennae,
each of which emits its own pattern of microwaves on its own set of wave
lengths, with the result that a single tower can emit several different
patterns of relatively intense signals, or lobes of such signals, some
of which may change on a daily basis, to homes, schools and businesses
within hundreds of feet of the tower. Count I: Reduction in Property
Value Due to Defendants Towers as Nuisances (Onninks)
23. Brett and Leslee Onnink purchased their home at 3112 Mishawaka
Avenue on December 6, 1996.
24. The Onninks purchased their home long before defendants constructed
their 187 foot high tower, immediately next door, indeed such that the
defendants; installation encroaches on the Onninks, property -- in an
area of dense population, a characteristic of many of the defendants,
towers situated in urbanized parts of St. Joseph County.
25. The defendants, tower carries several antennae, the total number,
manufacturer, owner or operator and purpose of each of which is unknown.
26. Subject to discovery, the number and size of such antennae may be
physically too great in terms of weight and surface dimension for the
tower safely to bear.
27. The towers emissions interfere with and in some cases make
impossible the operation of the Onninks, electrical appliances and other
electrical products, including but not limited to garage door opener,
radio, television, VCR, cordless phones and the childrens, baby
monitors.
28. The towers regular operation produces a constant drone of noise
which necessarily affects, and reduces, the Onninks, quiet enjoyment of
their home.
29. Because, in the Onninks, case, the tower is so close to their home,
when the defendants have the tower serviced or modified, the Onninks
have been asked, in the interest of their safety from debris falling
from the tower, to leave their own home; the noise created by the
defendants servicing the tower has also injured the enjoyment of their
home; furthermore, service trucks block or interfere with ingress to and
egress from their property.
30. In addition, in the Onninks, case, they are required, on a regular
basis, to remove from their property debris fallen from the tower
including cable ties, plastic bags, hats, bolts, cigarettes, electrical
tape as well as a multitude of dead birds.
31. Because the tower attracts birds and because the tower is only 20
feet away, the Onninks, home and yard are constantly barraged by bird
droppings.
32. In addition to the foregoing, the very existence of a 187 foot
microwave tower next to their home has caused a substantial and
irremediable reduction in the value of the Onninks, home due to the
following characteristics, characteristics shared by any such tower
sited within close proximity to homes, schools and businesses: (a) the
publics growing concern that sustained microwave radiation, even at
allegedly low levels of intensity, may cause serious short term and long
term harmful health effects; (b) the towers negative impact on the
appearance of the neighborhood.
33. The foregoing reduction in property value has forced plaintiffs to
discontinue plans to improve or add to their home.
34. All of the foregoing, individually or in combination, constitute a
nuisance which has seriously and permanently reduced the value of the
plaintiffs real property.

Count II: Reduction in Property Value Due to Defendants Towers as
Nuisances (Hicks)
35. Paragraphs 1 to 22, 25, 33 and 34 are incorporated.
36. William and Bonnie Hicks purchased their property at 55685 Clover
Road in 1990 and built a home and moved in in July 1993, long before
defendants constructed their 235 foot high tower within 700 feet of the
Hicks home.
37. The towers emissions interfere with and in some cases make
impossible the operation of the Hicks electrical appliances and other
electrical products, including but not limited to their telephone,
television, garage door opener, radio controlled cars and other toys and
their baby monitor.
38. The towers existence within 700 feet of the Hicks property has
caused a substantial and irremediable reduction in the value of the
Hicks home due to its following characteristics: (a) the publics growing
concern that sustained microwave radiation, even at allegedly low
levels, may cause serious short term and long term harmful health
effects; (b) the towers negative impact on the appearance of the
neighborhood.

Count III: Reduction in Property Value Due to Defendants Towers as
Nuisances (Barber)
39. Paragraphs 1 to 22, 25, 33 and 34 are incorporated.
40. Paul and Peggy Barber purchased their home at 352 Weber Street in
Roseland in November 1990, long before defendants constructed their 199
foot high tower within 100 feet of the Barbers' home.
41. The towers emissions interfere with and in some cases make
impossible the operation of the Barbers' electrical appliances and other
electrical products, including but not limited to telephones, VCR and
television.
42. The towers existence within 100 feet of the Barbers' property has
caused a substantial and irremediable reduction in the value of the
Barbers' home due to its following characteristics: (a) the publics
growing concern that sustained microwave radiation, even at allegedly
low levels, may cause serious short term and long term harmful health
effects; (b) the towers negative impact on the appearance of the
neighborhood.

Count IV: Reduction in Property Value Due to Defendants Towers as
Nuisances (Pennington)
43. Paragraphs 1 to 22, 25 and 34 are incorporated.
44. LouAnn Pennington purchased her home at 55650 Clover Road in
September 1990, long before defendants constructed their 235 foot high
tower within 700 feet of her home.
45. The towers emissions interfere with and in some cases make
impossible the operation of the Ms. Penningtons electrical appliances
and other electrical products, including but not limited to telephone,
television and VCR.
46. The towers existence within 700 feet of Ms. Penningtons property has
caused a substantial and irremediable reduction in the value of her home
due to its following characteristics: (a) the publics growing concern
that sustained microwave radiation, even at allegedly low levels, may
cause serious short term and long term harmful health effects; (b) the
towers negative impact on the appearance of the neighborhood.
Count V: Personal Injury Due to Nuisance (Hicks)
47. Paragraphs 1 to 22, 25, 33, 34 and 36 to 38 are incorporated.
48. The defendants' tower at 2010 Mick Court, Mishawaka, emits
microwaves in patterns, wave lengths and from antennae owned or operated
by various third parties, all of which is unknown to plaintiffs.
49. On information and belief, the foregoing emissions of microwaves
have resulted, since the defendants' tower began operating, in the
plaintiffs Hicks experiencing and suffering the following effects:
- heart palpitations
- loss of peripheral vision
- interference with hearing
- recurring headaches including migraine headaches
- short term memory loss
- repeated sleep disturbance
50. In addition to the foregoing observable symptoms, plaintiffs live in
fear of sub- cellular breakdown or change and advanced cellular aging,
another effect of microwave radiation reported in scientific literature.
51. The foregoing effects have imposed on plaintiffs medical expenses as
well as substantial mental distress including adverse effects on the
plaintiffs intra-family relations.

Count VI: Personal Injury Due to Nuisance (Onnink)
52. Paragraphs 1 to 34, 50 and 51 are incorporated.
53. The defendants' tower at 3108 Mishawaka Avenue, South Bend, IN emits
microwaves in patterns, wave lengths and from antennae owned or operated
by various third parties, all of which is unknown to plaintiffs.
54. On information and belief, the foregoing emissions of microwaves
have resulted, since the defendants' tower began operating, in the
plaintiffs Onninks experiencing and suffering the following effects:
- multiple tumors
- loss of peripheral vision
- weakened immune system
- recurring headaches and migraines
- repeated sleep disturbances
- glandular problems
- short term memory loss
- allergies
- chronic fatigue

Count VII: Personal Injury Due to Nuisance (Barber)
55. Paragraphs 1 to 22, 25, 33, 34, 40 to 42, 50 and 51 are
incorporated.
56. The defendants' tower in the vicinity of 436 McComb, Roseland, IN
emits microwaves in patterns, wave lengths and from antennae owned or
operated by various third parties, all of which is unknown to
plaintiffs.
57. On information and belief, the foregoing emissions of microwaves
have resulted, since the defendants' tower began operating, in the
plaintiffs Barbers experiencing and suffering the following effects:
- loss of peripheral vision
- interference with hearing
- recurring headaches
- weakened immune system
- short term memory loss
- repeated sleep disturbance
- learning capacity diminished
- chronic fatigue
- heart palpitations
- miscarriage

Count VIII: Personal Injury Due to Nuisance (Pennington)
58. Paragraphs 1 to 22, 25, 34, 44 to 46 and 50 are incorporated.
59. The defendants' tower at 2010 Mick Court, Mishawaka, IN emits
microwaves in patterns, wave lengths and from antennae owned or operated
by various third parties, all of which is unknown to plaintiffs.
60. On information and belief, the foregoing emissions of microwaves
have resulted, since the defendants' tower began operating, in the
plaintiff Pennington experiencing and suffering the following effects:
- recurring headaches
- repeated sleep disturbance
- weakened immune system
- chronic fatigue
61. The foregoing effects have imposed on plaintiff medical expenses as
well as substantial mental distress.

Count IX: Injunctive Relief (Hicks and Pennington)
62. Paragraphs 1 to 22, 25, 33, 34, 36 to 38, 44 to 46, 48 to 51, 60 and
61 are incorporated.
63. Monetary damages are inadequate to remedy the plaintiffs physical,
mental and proprietary injuries.
64. Because emissions from defendants' towers are invasive, chronic and
seriously deleterious as alleged above, plaintiffs are entitled to

plaintiffs a level of microwave radiation greater than the background
level of microwave radiation in the South Bend-Mishawaka region.
Count X: Injunctive Relief (Barber)
65. Paragraphs 1 to 22, 25, 33, 34, 40 to 42, 50, 51, 56, 57, 63 and 64
are incorporated.

Count XI: Injunctive Relief (Onnink)
66. Paragraphs 1 to 34, 50, 51, 53, 54 and 63 are incorporated.
67. Because defendants' tower installation physically intrudes on
plaintiffs property, is a clear and present danger to plaintiffs
physical well-being as well as, due to the microwaves it emits, an
invasive and chronic source of physical illness as well as substantial
mental distress, plaintiffs are entitled to an injunction prohibiting
defendants' continued operation of the tower as a source of microwave
emissions and mandating removal of such tower.

WHEREFORE, plaintiffs pray for judgment as follows:
1. On Counts I through IV, for damages sufficient to compensate
plaintiffs for loss of the value of their real property.
2. On Counts V through VIII for damages according to proof.
3. On Counts IX and X for injunctive relief sufficient to shield
plaintiffs from microwave radiation greater than background radiation in
the South Bend-Mishawaka region by means short of termination of all
emissions from such towers if technically and physically feasible, but
if not, termination of all emissions from such tower.
4. On Count XI for removal of the tower adjacent to the Onninks' home
or, in the alternative, injunctive relief sufficient to shield
plaintiffs from microwave radiation greater than background radiation in
the South Bend-Mishawaka region by means short of termination of all
emissions from such towers if technically and physically feasible, but
if not, termination of all emissions from such tower.
5. For plaintiffs cost of suit incurred herein.
6. For such other relief as the Court deems just.

New organization forms

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 17, 2003

The EMR Policy Institute Forms

Janet Newton has resigned as president of The EMR Network in order to
form a new organization called The EMR Policy Institute. The Institute
will focus its efforts on addressing U.S. federal policy for
environmental exposures to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (EMR).

Such exposures are increasing daily given the buildout of broadcast,
radar, mobile phone and personal wireless technologies. Science, legal,
and environmental advisory boards are currently being formed for the new
organization.

Having worked with The EMR Network since its founding, Ms. Newton hopes
that organization will continue through its public education work to
bring awareness of the potential safety issues regarding low-level
radiofrequency (RF) exposures such as the inappropriate placement of
broadcast and mobile phone towers too close to the population.

The new organization will be structured in Vermont where Ms. Newton
lives, with the advisory boards published at a later time. "We're still
in the formation stage but some top technical people have already signed
on because experts from the science community in particular recognize
that this problem will only increase as wireless technologies continue
to burgeon," said Ms. Newton.

"There's no end in sight, especially with wireless computer networks
going into indoor environments like schools, offices, and businesses
such as McDonalds and Starbucks. Along with ubiquitous service, we are
creating ubiquitous exposures for the first time in history. No one
really understands the implications of this. It could be a serious
public health problem. It certainly requires closer scrutiny and many
people in the science community know that. The new organizatio will
concentrate on keeping these questions before federal agencies and the
Congress."

For additional information, Ms. Newton may be reached at: (802)426-3035.
A web site is under construction at: www.emrpolicy.org
JNewton@emrpolicy.org will be operational for e-mail shortly.
