Re:   Canada Gazette, Part I, Regulations Amending the Energy Efficiency Regulations

I am delighted that Natural Resources Canada is considering a two-year delay for banning incandescent light bulbs.

In 2008, Tom Hutchinson and I sent a petition to the Auditor General of Canada that is attached.  It outlines the key problems with CFL bulbs and includes the following:

1.  Mercury content a concern during breakage inside buildings (homes, schools, offices, etc) and disposal in waste dumps contributes to the global load of mercury.  It is also contributing to ill health among many Chinese workers.  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6211261.ece 

2.  CFL emit UV radiation and Health Canada has already issued a warning that people should sit further away and use the light bulbs for less than 2 hours at a time to minimize their UV exposure.  Some bulbs now have a double envelope, which does reduce the UV considerably, but many bulbs still generate UV radiation.

3.  CFL bulbs generate radio frequency radiation that flows along electrical wires and contributes to poor power quality also known as dirty electricity.  Dirty electricity has been linked to ill health, increased blood sugar among diabetics who are electrically sensitive, increased tremors and difficulty walking among those with Multiple Sclerosis, and problems with student behaviour in schools.  All of this is properly referenced in the attached Environmental Petition sent to the Auditor General of Canada.

4.  CFL bulbs generate radio frequency radiation that can interfere with marine wireless communication and some GE bulbs have this warning on the package.

5.  A recent study in Germany documented release of carcinogenic substances from CFL bulbs including styrene.  While this needs to be replicated, this is yet another possible toxin released into the indoor environment.  Link:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/8462626/Energy-saving-light-bulbs-contain-cancer-causing-chemicals.html 

6.  CFL bulbs are making people ill.  This includes those who have migraine headaches, epilepsy, those with electrosensitivity, and those who have skin problems.  Details are provided in the attached report.

If the government waits for an additional two years, light emitting diode (LED) technology will have improved in terms of light quality and intensity and the price will have dropped as did the price of CFLs when they first came on the market. 

Canadians are attached to their incandescent light bulbs and it makes sense to use light bulbs that will add to the heating of rooms especially during the long Canadian winters.   CFL technology is deeply flawed and it was a mistake for the government to tell people what type of light bulbs they should or should not use.  There are alternative ways to alter choice without banning a product.  I would urge the government to remove the ban all-together but extending it for an additional two years makes sense because it will give Canadians a choice with technology that is likely to be even more energy efficient without the side effects of CFL bulbs. 

Please confirm receipt of this email.

Sincerely,
-magda havas

Subject: Radiofrequency wireless technologies: WHO classification 
group 2B

Dear Minister,

As you know, the IARC, International Agency for Research on Cancer, an 
agency of WHO, concluded May 31, 2011 that the radio frequencies used 
notably by mobile phones are "possibly carcinogenic" to humans.

While many red flags existed previously, this radically new context 
requires the government to adopt a new attitude vis-à-vis the 
technologies using radiofrequencies.

It is indeed no longer possible to rule out altogether, as has been 
done so far, the implementation of the precautionary principle which 
is applicable in the presence of a possible risk.

There is good reason to take the following steps:

- changing the message transmitted by government websites (including 
the site "Radiofrequency and Health") finding no evidence of 
deleterious effects on health. Operators now widely relay this message 
to their customers to convince them of the safety of mobile phones;

- information campaign directed to children, young persons and 
pregnant women, including a message without any ambiguity discouraging 
use of mobile devices in young persons under 14 years of age;

- banning of Wi-Fi enabled by default on the "box" installed in 
private homes; the installation of Wi-Fi will be the result of an 
operation carried out voluntarily by the customer or installer ;

- compulsory presence on the same "box" of an external switch, 
combined with a light control for all wireless networks  (Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 
Community, Wi-Fi easy pairing, DECT, femtocells), and formal 
recommendation to turn off Wi-Fi at night, even in cases of non-use;

- removal of Wi-Fi in favor of wired Internet connections in 
educational institutions;

- appropriate labeling on all devices emitting radiofrequencies.  More 
and more objects apart from  wireless mobile devices use these 
technologies today, and parents buy their children "smart objects" 
without even knowing it.

All this is neither oppressive nor complicated.  None of the above 
measures requires legislative text, so that the "agenda of the member 
of Parliament responsible" is not an argument to refrain from action.

Changing the message of public websites can be done immediately.

The information campaign, which should be radically different both in 
substance and in form, from that issued prior to the decision of WHO 
released at the end of 2010, constitutes a simple administrative 
procedure.

The provisions for "box" Internet access at home are of the order of a 
simple decree, not a law. They carry no significant impediment to 
freedom of commerce and industry. Technologies allowing attainment of 
the desired results already exist.

It is the same action for objects using radiofrequencies, similar to 
the mandatory posting of the SAR, carried out by decree.

The removal of Wi-Fi in educational institutions can be decided by a 
simple circular; it is a question of the internal choice of the 
administration.

It is unrealistic to expect, as has been done so far, that the 
profession propose or take the appropriate measures itself, be it in a 
concerted framework ("Grenelle des Ondes" and others).  Protection of 
the population is a duty of the public authorities which cannot be 
relegated to others. The recent decision of WHO, associated with the 
constitutional principle of precaution, is the source of their 
obligation for immediate action, where non-compliance goes against 
their responsibility.

Counting on prompt action on your part,

Respectfully yours,

Etienne CENDRIER
National Spokesperson

New Method for Measuring Parkinson's Disease Prevalence Reveals Sharp Increase in Israel

ScienceDaily (June 13, 2011) — In a new study published in the inaugural issue of the Journal of Parkinson's Disease, Israeli researchers report that by tracking pharmacy purchases of anti-Parkinson drugs they could estimate the number of Parkinson's disease (PD) cases in a large population. The study identified a sharp rise in PD prevalence from 170/100,000 in 2000 to 256/100,000 in 2007 in Israel, which warrants further investigation.

They urge politicians to take action against electromagnetic radiation

Life | 23/06/2011
 
Madrid. (EFE) .- Some 500 social groups have signed a manifesto against electromagnetic pollution, which urge the parties to take measures to protect citizens' health against electromagnetic radiation. To mark tomorrow's International Day against electromagnetic pollution, that document was sent to the general secretaries of the various political formations.

In the manifesto, the signatories recall that last May, the World Health Organization ranked the radio frequency electromagnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" based on an increased risk of glioma, a cancer of the brain associated with the use of mobile phones.

In this same classification of risk and were included in 2002 the low-frequency magnetic fields, ie those produced by pylons, transformers and electrical installations city, among others. The undersigned organizations call for legislators and administrations all correctly implement the precautionary principle and revise the exposure limits currently covered by law.

The text claims, moreover, that the electrical and telecommunications companies to take measures in the shortest possible time to resolve "any situation that may cause harm to the health of people." Among other things, prevents any pylons and transformers near the house, away from phone masts within the population and eliminate Wi-Fi systems in schools, malls, hotels, parks and other recreational public.

On the other hand, denies that there is a real scientific debate about the potential risk of electromagnetic radiation and described as "unacceptable" that when citizens defend their rights, the system requires them to be the ones who demonstrate the harmful effects of the technologies around them.

According to the laws and the precautionary principle is "the industry to prove that the products and technologies introduced in the market are safe for people. Is necessary to prevent it from happening again what happened with asbestos, snuff, lead, benzene, DDT and many other toxic products marketed irresponsibly. "

The signatories include State Platform Electromagnetic Pollution, the Association of Patients with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome de Asturias, the Spanish Confederation of Parents of Students, Ecologists in Action, the Institute of Work, Environment and Health CCOO and the World Association for Cancer Research (WACRA, its acronym in English).

Treatment of occupational diseases

The professional conditions cost over 100 million a year to Osakidetza
 
20/06/2011 - 13:55
 
San Sebastian, June 20 (EFE) .- The Basque Public Health supports an annual expenditure of over one hundred million euros for the treatment of occupational diseases reported, the cost should be borne by the mutual, according to the director general said today Basque Institute of Health-Osalan, Pilar Collantes.

Collantes has released these figures in a press conference in San Sebastian where there have been several summer courses at the University of the Basque Country, which start today at the Miramar Palace, devoted to occupational health or radio journalism.

Pilar Collantes said that occupational diseases are a "great danger", whose dimensions are unknown, since they are being treated as common ailments conditions, however, have been caused by the performance of work activity.

He stated in this connection that endured Osakidetza in 2008 spending more than 106 million euros for the treatment of occupational diseases "hidden", an amount that represented 0.16% of Basque GDP for that year (67924.5 million ) and 3.3% of Basque public health spending (3,200 million).

In addition to "face" known and most dramatic of these diseases, which may, for example, death by exposure to asbestos, Collantes also commented that this section are part of musculoskeletal diseases, as well as others that may arise from stress, bullying, or perhaps in the future of electromagnetic pollution.

Stressing that "prevention" should be a priority, Collantes has welcomed the diseases are as a matter of debate in college.

Kendall said a recent study from the World Health Organization's International Agency on Research on Cancer that labelled the electromagnetic fields caused by cellphones and the like as "a possible human carcinogen," suggested the EMF level is ...
 
 
Response to above article:
 

Dear Editor,

 

Duffy quotes Provincial Health officer Dr Perry Kendall. "I don't think there is any convincing evidence that the levels [of (rfr) radio frequency radiation] that we are being exposed to are in fact causing harm" I find this statement strange as there are thousands of peer reviewed studies that show adverse health effects as a result of exposure at the levels experienced when immersed in a WI-FI hot spot, or when using a cell phone, and when you head is just inches from a so called smart meter. For starters I ask readers to visit;

 

http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/science/studies.asp#phones   

   

Therein you will find what is considered by scientists as credible evidence that rfr at everyday levels of exposure as being harmful.

 

 Kendall claims "According to Hydro the meters are only reporting back, on average, less than a minute a day; it is not 24/7". I ask readers to visit and click on to the video of a Smart meter while operating. You will see it is operating 24/7.

 

http://www.youaretheanswer.ca/radiation-sources/smartmeters/

 

Kendall claims that the recent designation by the World Health Organizations, International Agency on Research on Cancer that placed radio frequency radiation as a possible carcinogen as being based upon one study with weak evidence. This statement is also strange. The committee themselves said. "The working group considered hundreds of articles". I recomend visiting the official IARC web site at to read their full statement.

 

http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2011/pdfs/pr208_E.pdf

 

 The one finding that Kendall refers to was from the Interphone study.   This study was included in the IARC analysis.  I also find it strange he not mention a publication titled "Public health implications of wireless technologies" cites that Lennart Hardell found age is a significant factor. The report repeated the finding that the use of cell phones before age 20 increased the risk of brain tumors by 5.2, compared to 1.4 for all ages. A review by Hardell et al. concluded that current mobile phones are not safe for long-term exposure.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health.

 

 One would think a medical doctor would consider this as credible evidence. Not absolute proof perhaps but sufficient to warrant some precautionary guidelines.

 

Kendall also claims that the "possible association between mobile phone use and cancer risk"warrents further study [the consensus of public health practniconers is that the current exposure levels to EMF's does not constitute a threat to the health of the public].

 

This statement is also strange given the division of opinions within the public health community on this issue. Dr. John Blatherwick, ex chief medical health officer of the city of Vancouver BC is shown in the link below in a BC Hydro information meeting in March as saying, Safety Code 6 is grossly out of date because it is based upon tissue heating. The health effects we are discussing are a result of what is called non thermal effects. He claims safety Code Six needs to be updated and upgraded.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFaTpkTx-oA&feature=player_embedded

 

Indeed, Dr, Shelia Basrur , Kendall's successor in the position as medial health officer of the City of Toronto called for guidelines to rfr exposure 100 times stricter than Canada's standards.

 

http://www.toronto.ca/health/hphe/pdf/cell_tower_conference.pdf

 

  In a London Telegraph article on May 21, 2007, the chairman of Great Briton's Health Protection Agency called for a review of WI FI risks in schools.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1552205/Wi-Fi-risks-in-schools-must-be-reviewed.html

[Speaking about his review of the evidence for health risks linked to mobile phones and masts published in the year 2000, Sir William said: "There may be changes, for example in cognitive function... there were some indications that there may be cancer inductions... there were some molecular biology changes within the cell and these were issues that we had to bear in mind."]

The above statements seem to contradict Kendall's claims of unanimity amongst heath professionals that the rfr such as that emitted from a wireless hydro meter is safe. In my opinion the opposite seems to be the case.

Green Party Premier:  Germany

Not only has the first Green Party member, Elizabeth May, been elected to the Canadian Parliament in spring 2011, but the citizens of the State of Baden-Württemberg have elected the first Green Party premier in all of Germany. Diagnose-Funk, an environmental and consumer organization for the protection against electromagnetic pollution, seized this opportunity to share its recommendations regarding a sustainable wireless technologies policy with their new state government in April 2011.

Recommendations for the New Government of Baden-Württemberg in Germany regarding a Sustainable Wireless Technologies Policy

As a result, the Coalition Agreement of the new state government in Baden-Württemberg says in its chapter on Environmental Policy as a Health and Social Policy (p. 38) [English translation]:

We will reinforce the precautionary principal and technology assessment. For cell antennas below 10 meters, we will reintroduce the requirement for a building permit authorization. Municipalities and the public shall be given greater rights of participation regarding the siting of cell towers. In communication with those affected, we will also develop strategies to minimize the exposure to electromagnetic fields. On a federal level, we will work toward lowering the exposure limits of electromagnetic radiation.
