Hi Martin,
I am attaching a copy of a Witness Statement that I sent in response to a request from the Standing Committee on Health of the Canadian House of Commons.
It covers many aspects of the non-thermal effects of cell phone radiation, but perhaps the most important observation is that the greatest threat to mankind comes from its effects on sperm, which can lead to infertility and progressive genetic damage to future generations. However, unlike the Interphone study, which took many years to reach even inconclusive results, the effects on sperm can be shown clearly in a matter of days and used to assess the biological safety of virtually all forms of wireless telecommunications.
Best wishes
Andrew

CBC Radio The Current
For those who didn't get a chance to listen to the interview of the Interphone Study on CBC Radio The Current (May 18th 2010) you can listen at this link:
http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/2010/05/may-18-2010.html
Several people were interviewed including Christopher Wild (IARC), Bernard Lord (Canadian Wireless Telecommunication Association), Magda Havas (Trent University), and Andrea Boland (Maine's State House of Representatives).

Hi All,
The result of the interphone study are not surprising. The metrology for the study are imprecise. Instead of looking at the cancer link, I would be looking for evidence increased neurodegenerative disease due to RF exposure.
Working form theory it would be expected that exposure to RF would exacerbate neurotoxic effects causing cell death at the point of exposure and bystander effects.
For example under particular circumstances exposure to GSM modulated, 900 MHz signal is shown to act as a co-stressor for oxidative damage of neural cells resulting in neurodegenerative disease and immune system impairment.

Hope you enjoy this light hearted break from EMR and Interphone
This is a video of a homeless man in Santa Barbara and his pets. They work State Street every week for donations. The animals are pretty well fed and are mellow. They are a family. The man who owns them rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn't have to walk so much (like the dog and himself).
At some juncture the rat came along, and as no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started riding with the cat and, often, on the cat!
The dog, will stand all day and let you talk to him and admire him for a few chin scratches. The Mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a holiday card.
