Telecom Funded Review on Children and Cell Phone Radiation Should Be Retracted According to Independent Scientists of the Environmental Health Trust

[Un nuovo documento dai ricercatori di Environmental Health Trust svela incoerenze evidenti ed errori sistematici in una analisi finanziata dall’industria Telecom, la quale afferma che la dose di radiazioni al cervello di un bambino durante l’uso del telefono cellulare non differisce da quella degli adulti.

“Il nostro lavoro mostra che la letteratura pubblicata sostiene esattamente la conclusione opposta a quella cui sono giunti Foster e Chou. I bambini che utilizzano i telefoni cellulari assorbono dosi di picco più elevate di radiazioni a microonde rispetto agli adulti”, afferma la Dott.sa Devra Davis, Visiting Professor di Medicina presso l’Università Ebraica, presidente dell’Environmental Health Trust (EHT) e co-autrice del documento.]

New research claims that an industry supported review alleging children and adults absorb the same radiation from mobile phones used biased methods and contains major systematic errors.

Teton Village, WY — (ReleaseWire) — 12/17/2015 — A new paper by Environmental Health Trust researchers exposes glaring inconsistencies and systematic errors in a Telecom industry-funded review alleging that the radiation dose to a child’s brain from cell phone use does not differ from adults. According to the newly published study’s lead author, Dr. Robert Morris, Senior Medical Advisor to the Environmental Health Trust, “Our detailed analysis of this review by two researchers with extensive ties to industry reveals what appears to be a deliberate distortion of the science and a boldfaced effort to downplay potential risks to children using mobile devices. Unless the authors can correct the glaring inconsistencies and internal contradictions in their work, the paper should be retracted.”

“Our paper shows that the published literature supports exactly the opposite conclusion to that reached by Foster and Chou. Children using cell phones absorb higher peak doses of microwave radiation than adults,” states Dr. Devra Davis, Visiting Professor of Medicine at The Hebrew University, President of Environmental Health Trust (EHT) and a co-author of the paper.

BACKGROUND
In 2014, Chou and Foster published a review of 23 publications that had used computer models to compare the dose of microwave radiation absorbed by the brains of children and adults. In that review, the authors concluded that the published literature showed no consistent difference between adults and children with respect to the peak absorbed dose of microwave radiation.

RESULTS OF THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW
In this newly published critique of the 2014 review, EHT researchers found glaring internal inconsistencies and systematic errors in the presentation of data by Foster and Chou. They found summaries of the 23 studies, as quoted by Foster and Chou, support the opposite conclusion that at a fixed level of exposure, children absorb higher peak doses of radiation than adults.

The researchers point to a graphical Figure by Foster and Chou that purports to summarize results abstracted from individual studies. This graphic indicated 25% of the results showed higher peak doses in children, 30% showed little or no difference, and 46% showed higher peak doses in adults. Yet, when the authors of those same studies summarize their findings, summaries quoted by Foster and Chou, most reached the opposite conclusion. “Contrary to what Foster and Chou assert, the majority of studies find that children do absorb greater doses of microwave radiation from mobile phones than adults,” said Morris, noting that 57% of studies concluded that doses are higher in children, while only 10% concluded that doses were higher in adults. These inconsistencies are summarized in Figure 1.

“The probability of this discrepancy occurring by chance alone is less than 1%. This leaves only two possible explanations. The first possibility is that many authors of the 22 individual studies misinterpreted and/or misrepresented their review findings in their text summaries. This seems unlikely given the number of authors involved and the fact that the peer review process would need to have failed repeatedly for this to occur. The only other explanation is that a bias in the methods used by Foster and Chou introduced a systematic error in their abstraction of review results,” stated the authors.

“The authors are heavily supported by the cell phone industry,” states co-author Lloyd Morgan describing how the Mobile Manufacturers Forum (MMF) funded the 2014 Chou and Foster review and earlier had sent Foster to Greece to Co-Chair a Workshop on the this very topic with CK Chou who was then Chief EME Scientist for Motorola. Ken Foster’s research is also often funded by industry organizations such as the Wi-Fi Alliance. “CK Chou seems to have been at the forefront of protecting industry’s interests for many decades. He was a Motorola executive while serving on the IEEE Committee that created the exposure limits adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). He still chairs the IEEE Committee that will likely be involved in considering the FCC’s adoption of even higher exposure limits than exist today,” explains electrical engineer Lloyd Morgan, co-author of the paper.

The authors also summarize two key additional problems with Foster and Chou’s paper. They state that no clear protocol was specified for the identification of the reviewed studies. They question why Foster and Chou spend almost half of their discussion “focusing on papers that are more than a decade old, but say nothing about half of the studies published in the past decade, most of which contradict their primary conclusion.”

“The evidence is clear and compelling,” states Davis, “Children absorb more radiation than adults and their brains are especially vulnerable.” She refers to a newly published paper by researchers at the Federal Universities of Brazil in which sophisticated modeling of the absorption of cell phone radiation in the brains of children “confirms that substantially higher radiation doses occur in younger children as compared to adults.”

In summary, the authors conclude that the published literature supports exactly the opposite conclusion to that reached by Foster and Chou. The published literature supports a conclusion that children using cell phones absorb higher peak doses of microwave radiation than adults. “Either the majority of the original authors in the published literature misrepresented their own results or Foster and Chou have misrepresented the result of those studies. It appears that cell phone industry authors have produced cell phone industry results.,” states Morris.

Parents of Colliers Wood Willows Pre-School nursery children fear radiation sickness, burns and cancer from proposed phone mast

9 December 2015 – “www.wimbledonguardian.co.uk”, by Craig Richard

Dozens of parents and neighbours of a recreation ground have signed a petition opposing a 15metre phone mast next to a nursery over health fears.

Wimbledon Guardian:

Children enjoying the outdoors play area at Willows Pre-School in Colliers Wood

Plans for the mast to be built in the recreation ground next to Willows Pre-School in Colliers Wood is in pre-planning stages.

More than 80 concerned parents of children aged between two and five have signed a petition against what they say is the potential threat of non-ionising radiation from the mast.

But their local councillor believes all available research suggests there is no long-term risk from the same kind of radiation that is emitted by the sun, mobile phones and computers.

Non-ionising radiation energises electrons, but cannot removed them from an atom or molecule.

It is commonly found in microwaves, infrared and radio waves.

Exposure can cause burns, radiation sickness, cancer, and genetic damage.

Wimbledon Guardian:

Children from the Willows Pre-School in Colliers Wood enjoy a day out

Dr Kevin Rigley, owner and manager of Willows Pre-School at Colliers Wood recreation ground, objects to the erection of a mobile phone mast near the nursery on potential health risks.

He said: “It is a relatively new technology and all of the studies have been a short time frame. We don’t know what the long-term implications are.

“The fact that they do not know means they should err on the side of caution.”

Colliers Wood councillor Nick Draper played down parents’ fears and said the average person willingly exposes themselves to more concentrated forms of non-ionising radiation every day.

Coun Draper said: “The radiation that comes from a phone mast is a much, much less concentrated version of the radiation that comes out of phones themselves and out of computer screens.

“I was contacted by a parent using a mobile phone asking me to sign.

“If everyone signing the petition does so on the basis that they do not use any mobile phone or computer technology, I would be happy to sign.”

Coun Andrew Judge said “We’re aware residents in Colliers Wood have complained about not being able to get a mobile phone signal and this proposal from O2 and Vodafone would help address that.

“Due to Government rules, phone masts that are 15m or below do not need planning permission.

“However we would need to be assured that there will be no visual intrusion on the park.”

Wimbledon Guardian:

The proposed site of the telecommunications mast as laid out in letters posted to residents by Pegasus Group

Bristol developers Pegasus Group is consulting residents over the “integrated telecommunications” mast, and posted letters explaining the initial pre-planning application.

It read: “The proposal will be fully compliant with standards set down by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection – an independent scientific organisation whose aim is to provide guidance and advice on the health implications of telecommunications development.”

The petition can be signed at change.org

Diabetes and ElectroMagnetic Fields: the evidence

[Vecchio articolo che tratta degli studi diretti dalla dott.ssa Magda Havas, professoressa di Scienze Ambientali in Canada, i quali non solo hanno mostrato una connessione tra l’aumento del Diabete e la esposizione ai CEM, ma anche l’efficacia dei filtri applicati sulle apparecchiature che emettono ELF nel’aiutare a ridurre la sofferenza ed i sintomi dei diabetici.

Evidenziamo quanto segue:

“The connection between exposure to artificial electromagnetic radiation in high and low frequencies and the changing health of diabetics and MS sufferers is an established fact that has been demonstrated beyond doubt in numerous scientific studies.

“This correlation can be demonstrated not only scientifically but also informally by any diabetic by comparing their glycaemia levels during a few minutes spent in an irradiated zone and in one where the radiation level is low. Those who continue to dismiss this as “pseudo-science” are simply denying the facts.

“It has been observed that the number of children under 10 who suffer from type 1 diabetes is continually increasing and has in fact doubled in the last 15 years . . .

“In conclusion: the effect of EMF irradiation on a diabetic can be measured directly and immediately. The reading in the personal record provides definite proof, and shows that a diabetic exposed to artificial HF microwave radiation has to increase their dose of insulin significantly…”]

Next-up Organization 11 07 2009

The connection between exposure to artificial electromagnetic radiation in high and low frequencies and the changing health of diabetics and MS sufferers is an established fact that has been demonstrated beyond doubt in numerous scientific studies [1] [2].

This correlation can be demonstrated not only scientifically but also informally by any diabetic by comparing their glycaemia levels during a few minutes spent in an irradiated zone and in one where the radiation level is low. Those who continue to dismiss this as “pseudo-science” are simply denying the facts.

It has been observed that the number of children under 10 who suffer from type 1 diabetes is continually increasing and has in fact doubled in the last 15 years.

Officially the health authorities do not know the reason for this increase.

Genetic factors play a part in type 1 diabetes, but there is no doubt that other factors are responsible, including the environment.

Type 1 diabetes, which is insulin dependant, is an auto-immune illness caused by the hyperactivity of the immune system.

In this pathology, the insulinsecreting cells of the pancreas (the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans) are destroyed. This means that the body can no longer control the level of sugar in the blood (glycaemia). If this is not treated it can lead to a whole series of imbalances that can be fatal.

Exposure to artificial HF microwave radiation during the night significantly reduces ciliary movement thus diminishing the supply of mucus to the pancreas and causing clogging.
Unfortunately this process has received little attention from scientists – why not?

At present the causes of type 1 diabetes have not been clearly defined. Doctors suppose that environmental factors could cause the auto-immune reaction in people who are genetically predisposed. The role of viruses in the onset of the disease has been cited several times.

Certain experts speculate that repeated exposure to different viruses causes the gradual destruction of insulin-producing cells. This may go unnoticed for many years since 90% of them have to be destroyed before the diabetes manifests.

Various tests are being carried out to validate this hypothesis while other scientists are studying different environmental factors that might affect the immune system and set off an auto-immune reaction. There is no doubt that diabetes is a serious condition that often requires several daily insulin injections and in the long run can affect organs such as the eyes, the nerves, the heart, etc.

Dr Magda Havas, professor of environmental sciences in Canada, has directed several studies that have not only shown a connection between the increase in diabetes and EMF exposure, but also the effectiveness of filters on ELF electrical equipment that help to reduce the suffering and the symptoms of diabetics.

“We can take a diabetic person and put them in an environment polluted by EMR and measure their sugar levels,” she explained in an interview with Toronto magazine.

“If we then put them in a clean environment, within half an hour their blood sugar level is invariably lower. When someone is exposed to EM radiation they become a real barometer.”

Scientific publication Informa Health Care: Magda Havas “Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity: Biological Effects of Dirty Electricity with Emphasis on Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis”

All the diabetics living near relay antennas can easily prove the damaging effects of exposure to artificial HF microwave radiation by observing the spectacular increase in blood sugar levels when they are close to a source of radiation, as can be seen from the reading noted in their personal glycaemia record.
From this it is possible to determine the exact date when a diabetic has been exposed to radiation.
In conclusion: the effect of EMF irradiation on a diabetic can be measured directly and immediately. The reading in the personal record provides definite proof, and shows that a diabetic exposed to artificial HF microwave radiation has to increase their dose of insulin significantly.

Interference of artificial EMFs with the human metabolism

It is important to understand that the human body, which is totally
bio-electromagnetic, cannot function normally without certain conditions. The first of these is living in a safe environment free of
damaging factors.
Whatever the state of the immune system, an environment polluted
by artificial radiation makes it weaker. If it is already stressed the
body can no longer function normally and the endocrine system will
be seriously disrupted.
This creates The Microwave Syndrome.
Having a good immune system is the most important factor in maintaining health. When it is weak our health is endangered,
making us more vulnerable to disease and even to death.

Being in poor health is not hereditary, being in good health is not a matter of chance. Taking a new approach and taking charge of one’s health often means making changes in one’s life-style and in one’s environment, in particular taking simple steps to ward against the worst of environmental pollutions, artificial microwave radiation. Doing this boosts the immune system naturally and rapidly, producing positive results in one or two days for diabetics and for the Electro-HyperSensitive. Hence the urgent need to create White Zones and Refuge Zones for the EHS who desperately need to refresh themselves or simply to exist in peace, a right that is at present denied them.

ABSTRACT

Installation of mobile phone base stations in residential areas has initiated public debate about possible adverse effects on human health.
This study aimed to determine the association of exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic field radiation (RF-EMFR) generated by mobile phone base stations with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
For this study, two different elementary schools (school-1 and school-2 )were selected. We recruited 159 students in total; 96 male students from school-1, with age range 12–16 years, and 63 male students with age range 12–17 years from school-2. Mobile phone base stations with towers existed about 200 m away from the school buildings. RF-EMFR was measured inside both schools. In school-1, RF-EMFR was 9.601 nW/cm² at frequency of 925 MHz, and students had been exposed to RF-EMFR for a duration of 6 h daily, five days in a week. In school-2, RF-EMFR was 1.909 nW/cm² at frequency of 925 MHz and students had been exposed for 6 h daily, five days in a week. 5–6 mL blood was collected from all the students and HbA1c was measured by using a Dimension Xpand Plus Integrated Chemistry System, Siemens. The mean HbA1c for the students who were exposed to high RF-EMFR was significantly higher (5.44 ± 0.22) than the mean HbA1c for the students who were exposed to low RF-EMFR (5.32 ± 0.34) (p = 0.007). Moreover, students who were exposed to high RF-EMFR generated by MPBS had a significantly higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (p = 0.016) relative to their counterparts who were exposed to low RF-EMFR. It is concluded that exposure to high RF-EMFR generated by MPBS is associated with elevated levels of HbA1c and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Journal d’une électrosensible: l’impact des champs électromagnétiques sur nos enfants / Diary of an electrosensitive: the impact of electromagnetic fields on our children / Diario di un elettrosensibile: l’impatto dei campi elettromagnetici sui nostri bambini

16 novembre 2015 – “maisonsaine.ca”, par Hélène Vadeboncoeur

[Shared by Dave Ashton on the Facebook page “UK Electrosensitives” / condiviso da Dave Ashton sulla pagina Facebook “UK Electrosensitives”]

Depuis que j’ai découvert que j’étais devenue électrosensible, je pense souvent à nos enfants et à l’environnement dans lequel ils grandissent aujourd’hui, à partir de leur gestation dans le ventre maternel jusqu’à leur passage à l’âge adulte. J’ai donc décidé de vous faire part de certains effets biologiques de radiations non ionisantes[1] issues de l’électricité domestique et en particulier de la technologie sans fil, de la vulnérabilité de nos enfants à ces effets, et des précautions à prendre pour réduire au maximum leur exposition à ce type de radiations, et ce, dès la grossesse.

maisonsaine — Des parents inquiets ont demandé à Fisher-Price de cesser de vendre ce support à tablette car il mettrait les bébés en danger. http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2013/12/16/Newborn-Tech-Seat-Draws-Advocacy-Anger

De plus en plus, on constate que les radiations non ionisantes ont des effets biologiques sur les êtres vivants. Non seulement des effets d’électrohypersensibilité (chez les personnes les plus sensibles) qui nous renseignent sur leur impact neurologique, mais aussi des effets possiblement cancérogènes. Par exemple, les champs magnétiques de 60 hertz émis par les lignes et fils électriques ainsi que par les appareils électriques ont été classés « peut-être cancérogènes » (2B) en 2001 par le Centre international de recherches sur le cancer (CIRC), en raison du risque accru de leucémie chez les enfants surexposés. Or, au Québec, sur ce plan, le recours omniprésent au chauffage électrique, depuis les années 1960, a considérablement augmenté notre exposition à ces champs qui nourriraient le cancer,selon les travaux des chercheurs Paul Héroux et Ying Li, de la Faculté de médecine de l’Université McGill. C’est dans ce contexte qu’il faut considérer l’augmentation exponentielle, survenue depuis une quinzaine d’années, des micro-ondes émises par la technologie sans fil. Celles-ci ont été classées 2B par le CIRC en 2011. Selon ce que Paul Héroux a affirmé à l’éditeur de La Maison du 21^e siècle André Fauteux, ces champs électromagnétiques (CEM) de hautes fréquences ont les mêmes effets sur notre métabolisme que les CEM d’extrêmement basses fréquences (60 Hz) et ces effets sont synergiques et cumulatifs.

Selon les données de l’Agence de santé publique du Canada, en 2008 le Québec détenait depuis 25 ans le taux de cancer le plus élevé au pays chez les moins de 15 ans. La même année, les chercheurs Anders Ahlbom et Joachim Schüz ont effectué une revue de la littérature sur le lien entre la leucémie infantile et les CEM de 60 Hz. Dans le cadre d’un colloque international tenu par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et l’International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) intitulé Risk-factors for Childhood Leukaemia, Anders Ahlbom concluait que « les preuves dont on dispose selon lesquelles les CEM sont une cause du développement de la leucémie infantile sont plus fortes que celles qui rattachent cette maladie à la fumée secondaire et au cancer du poumon »[2].

Pourquoi les enfants sont-ils plus vulnérables?

Tous les experts en santé publique reconnaissent que les enfants sont beaucoup plus vulnérables que les adultes aux effets de la pollution. Des autorités en santé aussi prestigieuses que l’Institut national de la santé aux États-Unis se préoccupent des effets biologiques des radiations non ionisantes sur les enfants. En effet, en 2010, son President’s Cancer Panel soulignait qu’il fallait mesurer de toute urgence leur exposition cumulative aux ondes émises par les appareils sans fil. L’Académie américaine de pédiatrie [3] et l’Association médicale californienne ont quant à elles réclamé l’adoption de limites d’exposition aux radiofréquences qui protégeraient les enfants.

Une des préoccupations des autorités est l’accroissement constant des taux de cancers infantiles, de l’ordre de 1 % par année depuis 30 ans. Comme l’expliquent les experts du cancer Lloyd Morgan, Santosh Kesari et Devra Davis, plus un enfant est jeune, plus il absorbe des radiations proportionnellement à sa taille et parce que son crâne est plus mince[4].

Plusieurs chercheurs se préoccupent aussi des effets neurologiques des CEM chez les enfants. Car les CEM pourraient contribuer à endommager la myéline qui protège les neurones du cerveau[5]. Or, la première couche de myéline se développe entre la mi-grossesse et l’âge de deux ans, et le processus de myélinisation se poursuit jusqu’au début de l’âge adulte[6]. Les études sur la myéline ont été faites sur des animaux qu’on utilise habituellement dans les premiers stades de la recherche (souris, rats, cochons d’Inde, etc.). Pour la Dre Catherine Steiner-Adair, psychologue et consultante pour les autorités scolaires, l’environnement a un impact sur le développement des enfants, et les émissions de radiations non ionisantes jouent aussi un rôle. Elle souligne dans son livre The Big Disconnect : Protecting Childhood and Families Relationships in the Digital Age que le développement de la technologie et en particulier de l’Internet peut avoir un impact négatif. Pour sa part, la Dre Martha Herbert, professeure de neurologie pédiatrique à l’Université Harvard, souligne ceci, à propos de l’autisme : « Vu l’augmentation spectaculaire des cas d’autisme qui coïncide avec le déploiement des technologies sans fil, nous constatons l’urgent besoin d’examiner sérieusement les liens qu’il pourrait y avoir entre les radiofréquences des champs électromagnétiques et l’autisme. Les données dont nous disposons jusqu’à présent militent en faveur d’une révision des normes d’exposition en fonction des effets biologiques nocifs (non thermiques), accompagnée, dans l’intervalle, de mesures de précaution »[7]. Par ailleurs, à la suite d’études animales et épidémiologiques, on s’interroge sur la possibilité d’un lien entre l’exposition aux champs électromagnétiques et le trouble déficitaire de l’attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH), syndrome s’étant considérablement accru depuis près de 20 ans, en même temps que la technologie sans fil se répandait[8].

Que faire pour protéger nos enfants des radiations non ionisantes?

De plus en plus de voix s’élèvent, partout dans le monde[9], pour sonner l’alarme sur les effets biologiques néfastes de la technologie sans fil. Technologie qui s’est répandue sans avoir été évaluée au départ. Ces voix réclament qu’au minimum on adopte le principe de précaution relativement à son utilisation et à son développement. Même si nous vivons dans un monde où elle est de plus en plus présente, nous pouvons, par des gestes au quotidien ou des changements à notre domicile, et même par des actions menées auprès de la garderie et de l’école[10] que fréquente nos enfants, contribuer à réduire l’exposition de ceux-ci aux radiations non ionisantes. Voici les principales choses à faire, du plus souhaitable au minimum possible, en se rappelant que la distance entre l’équipement et le corps est un facteur important, ainsi que la durée d’exposition[11] :

• Internet Wi-Fi : le remplacer entièrement par une connexion par câble à l’ordinateur (comme c’était le cas avant l’invention du Wi-Fi); à tout le moins n’allumer le Wi-Fi que lorsqu’on va s’en servir; et l’éteindre la nuit (pour ne pas nuire au processus de réparation des dommages génétiques causés le jour et parce que le corps absorbe plus de radiations lorsqu’il est immobile). Ne pas laisser les enfants jouer avec des tablettes, etc[12]. Éloigner le routeur Wi-Fi des lieux de vie et de circulation.

• Remplacer les téléphones de maison sans fil (en particulier ceux qui utilisent la technologie digitale DECT) par des téléphones avec fil (comme avant…). Les téléphones sans fil, qu’ils soient résidentiels ou cellulaires, produisent des niveaux élevés et presque constants de radiations, même si on ne s’en sert pas. Allumés, ils émettent ou reçoivent constamment.

• Ne pas utiliser le téléphone cellulaire plus de six minutes à la fois ni, idéalement, plus de 20 minutes par jour, et utiliser le plus souvent possible le haut-parleur ou le casque d’écoute. Ne jamais l’utiliser à proximité d’un enfant , et interdire à celui-ci l’usage du cellulaire avant — selon divers pays — l’âge de 14, 16 ou 18 ans. Durant la grossesse, ne pas laisser un cellulaire allumé contre une partie de son corps (pas plus qu’une tablette, un ordinateur, etc.). Éviter d’utiliser le cellulaire en voiture, en avion, dans un train, un tunnel ou tout autre endroit où la réception est mauvaise, car il émet alors beaucoup plus fort. De même, ne jamais mettre un cellulaire contre sa tête au moment où il sonne, car la densité de puissance des ondes qu’il émet est à son maximum quand une connexion s’établit. Pour minimiser l’exposition, l’éteindre ou le mettre en mode « avion » lorsqu’on ne s’en sert pas.

• Pour éloigner son ordinateur portatif de soi, se procurer un clavier externe et une souris munie d’un fil.

• Ne pas utiliser de moniteur de surveillance du bébé, source d’émissions de micro-ondes. Si on ne veut pas s’en passer, l’installer à plusieurs pieds du bébé et ne pas placer celui-ci entre les deux moniteurs (émetteurs-récepteurs d’ondes).

• Si on tient à son four micro-ondes, s’éloigner à trois mètres de l’appareil lorsqu’il est en marche. Et ne pas placer un bébé à proximité, même s’il ne fonctionne pas (certains fours émettent quand même). Le débrancher lorsqu’on ne s’en sert pas.

• Désactiver la fonction Wi-Fi de ses appareils technologiques (cellulaire, ordinateur, tablette, modèles de caméra récents, etc.) et ne l’activer que lorsqu’on veut s’en servir. Les niveaux de radiofréquences émis sont plus élevés lorsque cette fonction est activée.

• Dans les modèles de voitures récents, désactiver la fonction Bluetooth, qui accroît considérablement l’émission et l’intensité des ondes dans l’habitacle, en particulier lorsqu’on longe des lignes électriques.

• Le compteur intelligent d’Hydro-Québec ne devrait jamais être installé dans une maison, ni à moins de trois mètres des pièces de vie, ni sur un mur extérieur donnant sur une chambre, encore moins sur celle d’un enfant. Demandez à Hydro-Québec de le remplacer par un compteur « non communicant ». À tout le moins, couvrir le compteur intelligent d’un capuchon de moustiquaire métallique ou de deux épaisseurs de papier d’aluminium (scellé au ruban aluminisé), en prenant bien soin de recouvrir totalement le globe de verre par lequel les ondes traversent les murs. Vous trouverez des instructions sur les sites d’organismes de villes ou de régions opposés à ces nouveaux appareils, tels estrierefuse.wordpress.com,refusonslescompteurs.wordpress.com et cqlpe.com, et pour les anglophones, C4ST.org, stopsmartmeters.orget takebackyourpower.net. Et convainquez vos voisins de faire de même et d’adopter des mesures relativement à leur Internet Wi-Fi !

Bref, même si du point de vue d’une électrohypersensible, l’envahissement de notre environnement ( villes, régions rurales, lieux de travail et domiciles) est décourageant, nous pouvons faire quelque chose pour diminuer notre exposition et en particulier celle de nos enfants à un type de radiations qui suscite de plus en plus d’inquiétudes. Et ce, que nous soyons ou non électrosensibles, puisqu’il existe d’autres effets biologiques des radiations non ionisantes. Ce qui se passe en Europe à cet égard peut aussi nous encourager à demander, et à exiger individuellement et collectivement, que les lieux où naissent et se développent nos enfants soient exempts, le plus possible, de ce type de radiations.

À mesure que les atomes se désintègrent, ils émettent du rayonnement sous forme d’ondes électromagnétiques et de particules subatomiques. Certaines formes de ce rayonnement peuvent détacher des électrons d’autres atomes, c’est-à-dire les ioniser, lorsqu’elles traversent la matière. Ce processus s’appelle le rayonnement ionisant. Les particules alpha et bêta et les rayons X et gamma sont des formes de rayonnement ionisant.

Mobile devices could harm kids

12 ottobre 2015 – “in-cyprus.com”

[Il Comitato Nazionale di Cipro per l’Ambiente e la Salute del Bambino (ECH) dice di preferir peccare di eccesso di cautela piuttosto che rischiare seri danni a feti e bambini, e avverte il pubblico che l’uso di dispositivi mobili potrebbe essere potenzialmente dannoso per questi soggetti ancor più che per gli adulti.]

The Cyprus National Committee on Environment and Child Health (ECH) says it wants to err on the side of caution, warning the public that using mobile devices could be potentially harmful to children.

According to World Health Organisation, electromagnetic radiation transmitted from mobile and hand-held devices, such as smartphones, tablets and Wi-Fi gadgets, are considered to be “possibly carcinogenic to humans” based on a WHO decision in 2011.

But Stella Michaelidou, President of the ECH, takes it a step further suggesting that more studies keep pointing to other possible harmful effects and society should respond by taking precautions.

“Documentation of other potential and more serious biological side effects are on the tip of an emerging iceberg,” she said.

Michaelidou cited studies that point to a lower safety threshold than the officially accepted, referring to the acceptable index for transmission of radio frequencies known as the ICNIRP index (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection).

She said multiple and frequent exposure to this kind of radiation, which falls below the acceptable levels of thermal effects, pose a health risk to a developing embryo.

Michaelidou also said that children who use their mobile phone more frequently face a higher risk at having a weaker memory, attention deficit disorder, and similar issues.

The official also admitted that a big segment of the scientific community does not agree with the elevated risk, which suggests that current safety levels are adequate.

The WHO does not have information of additional side effects than the ones made known officially. However, the orgnisation agrees that “potential harmful effects, when discovered, would be far greater and more serious for an embryo or young child compared to adults”.

Michaelidou insists that precaution is the best method to protect children from any potential health hazards.

Expert Docs Urge U.S. Secretary of Education: Play it Safe With Kids—Go Wired Not WiFi

October 2015 – “Environmental Health Trust”

[Eminenti scienziati e medici consiglieri della Environmental Health Trust (EHT), hanno inviato una lettera aperta al Segretario dell’Istruzione degli Stati Uniti Arne Duncan e al Segretario entrante John King, spiegando nei dettagli la vulnerabilità specifica dei bambini nei confronti dei danni alla salute derivanti dall’uso della tecnologia wireless.]

Top medical experts advise schools to stop experimenting on our children. WiFi in Schools is Risky Business that has never been evaluated for safety.

Leading expert scientists and doctors who are advisors of the Environmental Health Trust (EHT) have sent an open letter to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and incoming acting Secretary John King detailing children’s unique vulnerability to the health risks of wireless technology. The scientists outline specific steps the U.S. Department of Education can take to safeguard children’s health in the 21st century, such as choosing safe corded (non-wireless) technology and creating a national education program for students. The scientists applaud the fact that such efforts are already well implemented in several schools and countries and call on the United States to take a leadership role.

The letter cites how over 20 countries have taken a precautionary approach to the issue of wireless and are educating citizens on how to reduce exposures with many recommending against wireless in schools. Early in 2015, France passed a national law banning wifi from nursery schools and mandating that schools turn off wifi whenever it is not in use, and Israel has established a new national institute to review scientific evidence and recommends wired computers for teachers. In the United States, both public and private schools are taking steps to reduce and remove wireless exposures. EHT maintains an updated list of these policy actions.

In 2013, the American Academy of Pediatrics wrote to the FCC calling for more protective wireless RF-EMF radiation exposure standards and stated, “Children are not little adults and are disproportionately impacted by all environmental exposures, including cellphone radiation. Current FCC standards do not account for the unique vulnerability and use patterns specific to pregnant women and children.”

“Considering that no research documents long-term exposure to low-intensity microwave radiation as safe for children, the best approach is precautionary.” The letter references the accumulated scientific research showing that wireless radiation, also known as radio-frequency (RF) radiation or microwave radiation, could increase cancer risk and has been shown to damage the reproductive system and alter neurological development.

The letter cites the research of Yale Professor Dr. Hugh Taylor that showed prenatal exposure resulted in decreased memory and hyperactivity in offspring. This study joins a growing list of experimental research showing neurotoxic effects which has informed the BabySafe Project of over 100 physicians who recommend reduced wireless exposures for pregnant women in order to mitigate the risk of fetal brain damage.

Professor Martha Herbert, MD PhD, a Harvard pediatric neurologist, is quoted: “RF radiation from wifi and cell towers can exert a disorganizing effect on the ability to learn and remember, and can also be destabilizing to immune and metabolic function.”

The scientists made the following recommendations to the U.S. Department of Education:

1. Raise school community awareness through new educational curriculum:Students, teachers, and their families should be given information on wireless health risks and simple precautionary steps they can take to protect their health. It is important to teach children how to use technology both safely and more responsibly in order to protect their health and wellbeing.

2. Install a safe communication and information technology infrastructure in schools to meet educational needs: Solutions exist to reduce exposures to wireless emissions and mitigate the health risk. Low-EMF Best Practices have been developed allowing educational needs to be met with safer hard-wired Internet connections, which are also faster and more secure.

“A 21st century classroom must bridge the digital divide in the safest way possible. The United States of America can thoughtfully integrate safe technology into every classroom while safeguarding the health of generations to come by installing safe and secure wired internet connections.” stated Dr. Davis, President of the EHT and Visiting Professor, The Hebrew University Medical School.

Please download the letter at this link.

In fall 2014, the EHT wrote to several educational organizations—including the National Education Association, the National Association of Independent Schools and the National Parent Teacher Association—informing them of the health risks of wireless installations. Letters are available on the EHT Schools and Safe Technology webpage.

This new letter calls on the U.S. Department of Education to provide leadership on common sense technology steps to safeguard children’s health just as classrooms across the country are upgrading their technology systems. EHT applauds the Collaborative for High Performance Schools Low EMF criteria which provides the detailed steps schools can take to reduce EMF exposures.

Scientists have long been cautioning against wireless networks in schools and, most recently, new letters from scientists to a Massachusetts school were included in a federal complaint filed by parents alleging the school’s upgraded wireless network made their child ill.

In 2014, an independent group of 29 international expert scientists of the Bioinitiative Report wrote a letter to the CEOs of wireless technology education companies such as Google, Dell, Apple, Adobe and Facebook stating that, “It does not reflect well on the ethics of your corporations to encourage the FCC to provide $2 billion dollars for new wireless classroom infrastructure and devices for school children, knowing that wireless emissions have been classified as a Possible Human Carcinogen by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (2011). To promote wireless technologies in schools is to deliberately and knowingly disregard current health warnings from international science and public health experts.” These scientists have long made clear recommendations for Low-EMF Best Practices in schools based on the published scientific research.

Recently, a group of over 200 scientists (who have collectively published over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers on non-ionizing radiation)appealed to the United Nations for immediate action on this issue in order to protect public health and the environment.

Over 20 countries now take a precautionary stance towards wireless radiation. As an example, former Microsoft President Frank Clegg heads a safe technology organization C4ST calling on federal election candidates in Canada to develop an awareness campaign related to the safe use of information and communication technologies in schools after the Canadian Parliamentary Health Committee unanimously voted for 12 recommendations concerning wireless radiation and public health.

ABSTRACT

The twenty-first century is marked with aggressive development of the wireless communications (satellite, mobile phones, Internet, Wi-Fi). In addition to thousand of satellites that deliver radio and TV signals, large satellite and base station networks secure intensive instant delivery of audio and video information. It is fair to say that that the entire civilization, both biosphere and mankind are exposed to continuous exposure of multitude of radiofrequency (RF) signals. It should be taken into account that the entire world population is exposed to exponentially increasing RF radiation from base stations and satellite antennas. While several years ago the potential hazard was connected with placement of mobile phones close to human head, today “smart phones” represent small, but powerful computers continuously receiving audio and video data. The largest group of users is the children and teenagers who “need” to communicate nearly 24 h a day. This is even more important because cell phones and tablets may be seen in the hands of children as little as two years in age. There is no way to assess and predict the potential damages of children brain, vision and hearing under exposure to RF radiation. The WHO precautionary principle and IARC classification must be applied in discussing the potential hazard of the use of today’s and tomorrow’s communication devices.

Messaggio alle Scuole riguardo i dispositivi senza fili

[Recente nota sull’utilizzo di dispositivi wireless redatta dal Dr. Ronald M. Powell, scienziato americano in pensione, indirizzata alle scuole.
Traduzione in Italiano a cura della Associazione Elettrosmog Sicilia (http://www.elettrosmogsicilia.org/)]

20 Agosto 2015

di Ronald M.Powell, Ph. D.

Se nelle vostre scuole si utilizzano dispositivi wireless, come quelli che usano la tecnologia Wi-Fi, la salute del vostro personale, dei vostri insegnanti, e degli studenti può essere a rischio. Ma questo problema può essere affrontato e risolto con successo, e con beneficio per tutti.

Contesto: i dispositivi senza fili trasmettono informazioni utilizzando le radiazioni a radiofrequenza / microonde. La comunità di ricerca biomedica internazionale ha studiato l’impatto sui sistemi biologici di tali radiazioni per decenni, ma più intensamente negli ultimi anni. La stragrande maggioranza delle migliaia di pubblicazioni di ricerca peer-reviewed di questa comunità, quando sono state finanziate indipendentemente dalle industrie del settore, ha trovato effetti biologici che destano preoccupazione. Inoltre, questi effetti biologici si verificano a intensità di radiazione molto inferiore di quanto si era compreso precedentemente. In parole povere, sta emergendo una crisi sanitaria su scala mondiale e questo sta diventando un segno distintivo del 21° secolo. La comunità di ricerca biomedica internazionale sta cercando di metterci in guardia; ma, come società, non stiamo ancora ascoltando. Spero che questo messaggio possa contribuire a cambiare la situazione.

In qualità di scienziato, vi esorto a esaminare l’impatto sulla salute delle radiazioni a radiofrequenza / microonde generate da dispositivi senza fili. Esempi di tali dispositivi senza fili nel nostro ambiente sono quelli che usano la tecnologia Wi-Fi in tutte le sue varianti; telefoni cellulari e stazioni radio base (specificamente quelle situate nelle vicinanze delle scuole); telefoni cordless; computer con collegamenti senza fili, che siano modelli desktop, laptop o tablet; baby monitor senza fili; contatori elettrici intelligenti con collegamenti radio; elettrodomestici intelligenti con collegamenti radio; e forni a microonde.

Questa crisi è la conseguenza di molti fattori. Di seguito alcuni tra questi:

• Tutti gli esseri viventi sono di natura bioelettrica. Questo è alla base del funzionamento degli elettrocardiogrammi e degli elettroencefalogrammi. Tali esami misurano i deboli segnali elettrici che sono presenti nel cuore e nel cervello. Le attività svolte da tali deboli segnali elettrici, e così tanti altri segnali elettrici negli esseri viventi, possono essere disturbate dalla radiazione a radiofrequenza/microonde.
• Le intensità delle radiazioni a radiofrequenza / microonde artificialmente generate dall’uomo sono in aumento esponenziale e già superano, di molti ordini di grandezza, le intensità con le quali tutta la vita sulla Terra si è evoluta. In poche parole, stiamo annegando in un crescente mare di radiazione artificiale a radiofrequenza / microonde.
• La natura invisibile della radiazione a radiofrequenza / microonde lascia la gente comune e i preposti a prendere decisioni ignari delle intensità crescenti di radiazioni intorno a loro stessi.
• L’autentica utilità dei dispositivi senza fili promuove la negazione dei rischi.
• La pubblicità intensa, la potenza economica, e la potenza politica delle ricche industrie del settore consente loro di controllare il pubblico dibattito e di tenere in mano gli enti di controllo governativi e gli enti legislativi.
• Gli standard federali attuali per la limitazione dell’esposizione del pubblico alle radiazioni a radiofrequenza / microonde sono obsoleti e troppo permissivi. Questi standard sono basati solo sul riscaldamento termico. In pratica, il Governo sostiene che se non si viene cotti dalle radiazioni, allora va tutto bene. Questi standard federali ignorano molti effetti biologici che si verificano a intensità molto inferiori, lasciando il pubblico senza protezione.
• I governi statali e federali stanno sostenendo l’espansione illimitata delle tecnologie radio senza fili, e stanno perfino co-finanziando tale espansione, imponendo l’accettazione della tecnologie radio senza fili da parte del pubblico. Tali azioni rispecchiano una diffusa mancanza di comprensione, o una cecità volontaria per la scienza di base e le sue conseguenze per la salute pubblica.
• Alcune delle più gravi conseguenze dell’esposizione a radiazioni a radiofrequenza / microonde (come danno al DNA, cancro e infertilità) sono particolarmente nefaste perché non danno segni preliminari di allarme.
• Altre conseguenze dell’esposizione danno segnali premonitori (come disturbi del sonno, mal di testa, stanchezza, ronzio nelle orecchie, perdita di memoria, vertigini, aritmia cardiaca, e molti altri); ma questi segnali vengono troppo spesso liquidati in quanto possono avere pure altre cause, complicando l’identificazione della vera causa.
• L’assenza di formazione di routine dei medici sugli effetti biologici della radiazione a radiofrequenza / microonde rende difficile per i medici l’identificare le cause e fornire un orientamento efficace.
• Perfino i soggetti consapevoli non possono controllare la loro esposizione in ambienti condivisi con altri, perché le radiazioni che li circondano, proprio come il fumo causato da altri, è imposto su di loro da individui inconsapevoli. Solo i governi possono risolvere efficacemente questo problema, ed essi attualmente sono parte del problema. Per il momento il pubblico deve proteggersi da sé, e questo richiede un’educazione pubblica.

Fortunatamente, molti dei servizi che i dispositivi radio senza fili offrono possono essere realizzati con ben più sicuri dispositivi con cavo. I dispositivi cablati realizzano la connettività con cavi a fibra ottica, coassiali o Ethernet. I dispositivi cablati sono più veloci, più affidabili e con più alta sicurezza informatica. Tuttavia, essi sono meno mobili, meno convenienti e un po’ più costosi da installare. Ma questi svantaggi impallidiscono in confronto ai benefici di una buona salute. In sintesi, le scuole pubbliche possono proteggere il loro personale, gli insegnanti e gli studenti dai rischi alla salute derivanti dai dispositivi radio senza fili, tra cui quelli utilizzanti Wi-Fi, attraverso la conversione alla connettività cablata, utilizzando cavi Ethernet. Inoltre, agli studenti può essere insegnato un uso sicuro della tecnologia e possono trasferire a casa ciò che imparano per proteggere le loro famiglie.

Come punto di partenza consigliato per esplorare le preoccupazioni riguardanti le radiazioni generate dai dispositivi radio senza fili, ho allegato un elenco commentato di riferimenti e un elenco commentato di video. Si prega di vedere, in particolare, il video (1), chiamato “Wi-Fi nelle scuole, i fatti”, realizzato in Australia, a pagina 6.

Saluti.

Il mio profilo

Sono uno scienziato del Governo USA in pensione (Ph.D., Fisica applicata, Università di Harvard, 1975). Durante la mia carriera, ho lavorato per l’Ufficio Esecutivo del Presidente, la National Science Foundation, e il National Institute of Standards and Technology. Per queste organizzazioni, rispettivamente, ho svolto valutazioni di programmi di ricerca e sviluppo, ricerca su politiche ambientali, e sviluppo di misure a supporto di industrie del settore elettronico ed elettrico e della comunità di ricerca biomedica. Attualmente interagisco con altri scienziati e medici di tutto il mondo sull’impatto dell’ambiente – incluso l’ambiente elettromagnetico a radiofrequenza / microonde – sulla salute umana.

LISTA DI RIFERIMENTI CON ANNOTAZIONI

La comunità internazionale di ricerca biomedica ha condotto migliaia di studi che cercano di identificare gli effetti biologici dell’esposizione ai campi elettromagnetici sia alle basse che alle alte frequenze, estendendosi alla regione delle microonde. Sono così tanti gli studi i quali hanno trovato effetti biologici seri originati da tali campi, a intensità precedentemente ritenute sicure, che sono necessarie immediate misure per allertare l’opinione pubblica e per abbassare i livelli di esposizione consentiti.

La revisione più massiccia di letteratura biomedica è il BioInitiative Report del 2012 di 1479 pagine che considera circa 1800 pubblicazioni di ricerca biomedica, la maggior parte delle quali uscite nei precedenti cinque anni. Il BioInitiative Report del 2012 è stato preparato da un gruppo internazionale di 29 esperti, tra cui molti Ph.D. e medici, da dieci nazioni tra cui gli USA che ha contribuito con il maggior numero. La revisione conclude che “La continua implementazione di tecnologie e dispositivi radio senza fili pone la salute pubblica globale a rischio a causa del commercio illimitato del settore wireless a meno che siano implementati dei limiti di esposizione nuovi e di gran lunga inferiori e forti avvertimenti precauzionali.”

BioInitiative Working Group, Cindy Sage, M.A. and David O. Carpenter, M.D., Editors, BioInitiative Report: A Rationale for Biologically-based Public Exposure Standards for Electromagnetic Radiation, December 31, 2012 http://www.bioinitiative.org

Un gruppo di sei medici in Oregon, guidato dal Dott. Paul Dart, ha rilasciato nel Giugno 2013, una revisione di 79 pagine di 279 pubblicazioni di ricerca biomedica. Questa review esamina la questione salute rispetto a “telefoni cellulari, stazioni radio base, Wi-Fi, contatori intelligenti e altri dispositivi che emettono radiofrequenza o frequenza estremamente bassa”. Questa review osserva che “E’ necessario ridurre gli attuali livelli di esposizione, invece di aumentarli. La FCC – Federal Communications Commission deve proteggere specialmente i gruppi vulnerabili nella popolazione inclusi i bambini e gli adolescenti, le donne in gravidanza, gli uomini in età riproduttiva, gli individui con sistemi immunitari compromessi, gli anziani e i lavoratori.” Questa review è pubblicata sul sito web della FCC al link titolato “Health Effects of RF – Research Review (87)”.

Circa 200 scienziati di 39 nazioni hanno sottoscritto un appello internazionale alle Nazioni Unite e all’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità nel Maggio 2015. Questi scienziati chiedono una migliore protezione per il pubblico dai danni da radiazione prodotti da molte sorgenti radio, 4 tra cui “telefoni cellulari e cordless e le loro stazioni radio base, Wi-Fi, antenne per radiodiffusione, contatori intelligenti, e baby monitors” tra gli altri. Complessivamente questi scienziati hanno pubblicato circa 2000 articoli di ricerca sull’argomento.

L’agenzia Internazionale per la Ricerca sul cancro, dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità, ha già classificato i campi elettromagnetici a radiofrequenza nella classe 2B (“possibile cancerogeno”), principalmente sulla base dell’aumentato rischio di cancro al cervello. Tale decisione ha avuto luogo nel 2011. Da allora, si è incrementata la ricerca che supporta una classificazione più severa del rischio (“probabile cancerogeno” o anche “noto cancerogeno”)

L’American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM), che forma i medici per la Certificazione in Medicina Ambientale, ha dichiarato: “AAEM sostiene fortemente l’utilizzo di connessioni internet cablate, e incoraggia l’evitamento della radiofrequenza come il Wi-Fi, telefoni cellulari e cordless e loro stazioni radio base e ‘contatori intelligenti’.” AAEM afferma inoltre che “la letteratura scientifica peer reviewed dimostra la correlazione tra esposizione a RF (radiofrequenza) e malattie neurologiche, cardiache e polmonari come pure disordini riproduttivi e allo sviluppo, disfunzioni immunologiche, tumori e altre condizioni di salute. L’evidenza è inconfutabile.” AAEM conclude: “Installare tecnologia Wi-Fi nelle scuole e in spazi pubblici rischia di essere un diffuso pericolo per la salute pubblica che il sistema medico non è ancora preparato ad affrontare.”

L’American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), I cui 60000 dottori si prendono cura dei nostri bambini, supporta lo sviluppo di standard per l’esposizione a radiazione a radiofrequenza più restrittivi che proteggano meglio il pubblico, particolarmente i bambini. L’AAP, in una lettera alla Federal Communications Commission (FCC) e alla Food and Drug Administration (FDA), datata 29 Agosto 2013, dichiara che “I bambini non sono piccoli adulti e che sono impattati sproporzionatamente da tutte le esposizioni ambientali, inclusa la radiazione da telefono cellulare. Gli standard FCC attuali non prendono in considerazione tali distinte vulnerabilità e non usano modelli specifici a donne in stato di gravidanza e a bambini. E’ essenziale che ogni nuovo standard per telefoni cellulari o altri dispositivi radio senza fili siano basati sulla protezione delle popolazioni più giovani e maggiormente vulnerabili per assicurare che siano salvaguardate in tutta la loro vita.”

Il Governo USA ha una grande responsabilità per la crescita esponenziale dei livelli di radiazione da dispositivi radio senza fili nell’ambiente. Nel 1996, il Congresso degli Stati Uniti ha approvato, e il presidente ha firmato, il Telecommunications Act. Sotto la pressione delle industrie del telefono cellulare, tale legge includeva questa disposizione: “Nessun governo statale o locale o strumento di essi possono disciplinare il collocamento, la costruzione e la modifica degli impianti per i servizi radio personali [stazioni di telefonia mobile] sulla base degli effetti ambientali delle emissioni a radiofrequenza nel caso in cui tali impianti siano conformi alle norme della Commissione Federale delle Comunicazioni [FCC] riguardanti tali emissioni.”. Poiché le norme della Commissione Federale delle Comunicazioni sulla esposizione a radiazioni sono così permissive, questa disposizione impedisce ai governi statali e locali di proteggere la loro popolazione dalle radiazioni delle stazioni di telefonia mobile, per motivazioni di preoccupazione per la salute.

La Commissione Federale delle Comunicazioni (FCC) ha agito in partnership con le industrie del settore wireless consentendo livelli di radiazione di gran lunga superiori a quelli che la letteratura di ricerca biomedica indica siano necessari per proteggere la salute umana. Il successo delle industrie wireless nel controllare la FCC, le commissioni del Congresso degli Stati Uniti che supervisionano la FCC e l’esecutivo è dettagliato in una nuova monografia del Centro di Etica dell’Università di Harvard. Come esempio di tale controllo, il Presidente recentemente nominato, come capo della FCC, l’ex capo della CTIA – l’Associazione Wireless, che è l’organizzazione di lobbying più importante per il settore wireless. Questo, ovviamente, è il fenomeno cosiddetto della “porta girevole”.

Inoltre, il “American Recovery and Investment Act del 2009” del Governo USA ha fornito finanziamenti che sono stati utilizzati per motivare l’installazione di contatori intelligenti radio (anche chiamata la “Advanced Metering Infrastucture” o “AMI” – infrastruttura di contabilizzazione avanzata) offrendo una partecipazione nei costi ai gestori pubblici che avrebbero adottato tali contatori.

Molti stati hanno poi esteso l’impatto del sopra citato Atto imponendo l’accettazione dei contatori intelligenti radio da parte del pubblico. Questi contatori contengono trasmettitori e ricevitori a microonde e sono collocati su, o all’interno ogni casa. Un documento redatto per ordine di una corte Californiana indica che ogni contatore intelligente diffonde impulsi di radiazioni in media 10000 volte al giorno e fino a un massimo di 190000 volte al giorno. Tali impulsi inondano il vicinato con radiazioni, ogni giorno e ogni notte per tutto l’anno.

Sempre di più, la gente sta diventando consapevole della minaccia che le radiazioni a radiofrequenza pongono sulla salute. L’opposizione iniziale si concentra primariamente sulle sorgenti di esposizione imposte, specialmente quando gli individui esposti comprendono bambini non ancora nati e bambini piccoli, poiché sono tra i soggetti più vulnerabili. Così, l’opposizione iniziale più forte affiora per l’installazione di ripetitori telefonici, specialmente nelle vicinanze di scuole; per il Wi-Fi nelle scuole; e per i contatori intelligenti wireless piazzati sulle case o al loro interno. La maggior parte di stati attualmente hanno gruppi di opposizione, e alcuni stati hanno anche 10 o 20 di tali gruppi. Tali gruppi stanno cercando una liberazione attraverso gli enti regolatori statali, attraverso le legislature statali, e attraverso i tribunali. Di seguito è riportato un esempio delle centinaia di siti web USA che rispecchiano la natura e la portata dell’opposizione per l’espansione sfrenata della tecnologia wireless. Tali siti cercano di educare il pubblico e i decisori, e, quindi, di promuovere azioni di risposta fondate su basi scientifiche.

ABSTRACT

Only few studies have so far investigated possible health effects of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) in children and adolescents, although experts discuss a potential higher vulnerability to such fields. We aimed to investigate a possible association between measured exposure to RF EMF fields and behavioural problems in children and adolescents. 1,498 children and 1,524 adolescents were randomly selected from the population registries of four Bavarian (South of Germany) cities. During an Interview data on participants’ mental health, socio-demographic characteristics and potential confounders were collected. Mental health behaviour was assessed using the German version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Using a personal dosimeter, we obtained radio-frequency EMF exposure profiles over 24 h. Exposure levels over waking hours were expressed as mean percentage of the reference level. Overall, exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields was far below the reference level. Seven percent of the children and 5% of the adolescents showed an abnormal mental behaviour. In the multiple logistic regression analyses measured exposure to RF fields in the highest quartile was associated to overall behavioural problems for adolescents (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.1-4.5) but not for children (1.3; 0.7-2.6). These results are mainly driven by one subscale, as the results showed an association between exposure and conduct problems for adolescents (3.7; 1.6-8.4) and children (2.9; 1.4-5.9). As this is one of the first studies that investigated an association between exposure to mobile telecommunication networks and mental health behaviour more studies using personal dosimetry are warranted to confirm these findings.
