Organized by the Popular Unity bloc was held in the annex building of the Chamber of Deputies a public hearing to discuss the effects they have on the health of people.
The national deputy Antonio Riestra, Popular Unity bloc, presented by the legislator of Buenos Aires in Buenos Aires for all UP Laura Garcia Tunon and neighborhood organizations autoconvocados held a public hearing on the effects on the health of the population, Electromagnetic pollution from phone masts, FM, Wi-Fi and other devices.
In opening the hearing, Rep. Riestra said that "although not yet know all the aspects of this problem, it is clear that safety standards limiting radiation levels in almost every country in the world, seem to be thousands of times higher than the levels at which the risk actually disappear or be minimized. "So, estimated that" new approaches are needed to find alternatives that do not pose the same level of health risk, while it is time to those changes. "
"As people became aware of the effects on health when installing antennas in neighborhoods, the lawsuits brought against these authorizations, the complaints filed with the municipalities were increasing. And this happens not only in Argentina , multiply global social and environmental movements that seeks review of regulations and protection of human health, "the national legislature.
On this point, Riestra submitted to debate the bill of his own which he said, "establishes minimum budgets for environmental protection in the matter, according to the rules set forth by Article 41 of the Constitution guaranteeing the right to health and to live in a healthy environment. The Office is authorized to issue such rules in order to match the floor of environmental regulation across the country. Each province can from there pass laws stricter but not more lax. "
"We want to discuss all this project, the standards development process is usually done with little contribution from other sectors. We want to hear about all the experts in public health. The project is open to be modified and improved. What we ask and we want to promote through this activity is being processed, the discussion of the issues raised, "said Riestra.
In turn Buenos Aires legislator Laura Garcia Tunon said that "as legislators have a duty to safeguard the health of citizens and regulate through rules to avoid getting sick antennas to the population and yet appeal to the political and business will, the way is that we all think of a city and a country that does not contaminate and sicken the population by the use of satellite communication and television daily proliferate without any care. "
Marta Maffei, driving the initiative at the parliamentary level, noted that "Electromagnetic pollution from phone masts, FM, Wi-Fi and other devices that emit ionizing radiation, and has plenty of evidence around the world. The years since installation, possible to corroborate serious health effects, including embryos, children, youth and pregnant. "
The People's Union leader said: "Our legislation is insufficient and backward into the specifics, especially the judicial reluctance to implement effective precautionary principle." He considered that "it is imperative to the dictates of national rules setting clear limits and renewal of the companies providing services replacing obsolete existing technologies that allow safe and adequate health protection for all."
Finally, the president of deputies of the Unidad Popular, Claudio Lozano, said that "companies have to invest in network redesign and relocate cell antennae to defend the health and lives of our people."
In closing the debate, Riestra thanked the experts and the militancy of the neighbors on these issues and said that "the pain of mothers and families make one put more cargo than any other legislative proposal. I also express my presence is only the continuation of a task that began some time ago Marta Maffei, then continued Benas who gave Veronica joined the project and now I am giving continuity is continuity have always set you (referring to present residents and specialists) who are the military started this topic. Summoning us to move forward, aware of what is now said, and knowing the power against whom the dispute, will continue to insist all the time necessary to move forward with this proposal. "

Intelligence chiefs have warned that plans to install smart energy meters in every house will leave families vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
According to the Government's listening agency GCHQ, the plans will create a 'strategic vulnerability', giving foreign computer hackers the opportunity to target individual homes, municipal buildings and even whole districts.
Described by security experts as the 'modern day equivalent of a nuclear strike', hackers would be able to switch off meters from overseas, cutting off targets from the national grid.

Kirkland cell-phone tower
Mayor McMurchie has been trying to avoid dealing with the cell-tower issue from the time it exploded in Pointe-Claire a couple of years ago. The protests here resulted from poorly thought-out decisions by the city on the location of 2 out of 3 proposed Rogers towers.
In addition to any possible direct long-term health risks, aesthetics and effects on nearby property values, for many thinking people cell-phone towers have in effect become lightning rods for a whole range of larger citizen concerns about what we value and cherish, both as individuals and as communities when confronted by the never-ending, in-your-face media barrage of "newer, bigger/smaller, FASTER, FASTER, FASTER!!!".
Among them:how do we develop a healthy relationship with technology so that it does truly function as our servant, rather than as our master, as is too often the case now? How many apps buy happiness? 20 thousand? 100 thousand? And what are we in danger of losing, as our attention spans and life skills shrink in direct proportion?
What is the role and relative power of citizens vis-a-vis ever-larger, unaccountable corporations whose one and only motivation is ever-expanding profit? In reference to the infamous "citizens united" American Supreme Court decision, a Texas political observer said it well: "I'll believe a corporation is a citizen when one is hanged".
There is already a lot of pressure on municipal politicians and we expect them to deal with it. We expect them to really listen to a wide range of input on any given situation and to make the best informed, balanced and fair decisions possible. We expect them to educate themselves on a given topic when necessary and we expect them to be guardians of the local public good. That is what we elect and pay them a salary to do. Otherwise why have them at all?
"Ninety per cent of our time would be spent on deciding where a tower could go and could not go," he said. I believe that is what my high-school English teacher called "hyperbole". And choosing to bury one's head in the sand is an abdication of responsibility and leadership.
A friend of ours just came back to this country for a visit and also for an eye doctor because he has lost 90% vision in his right eye...
He came to my room and it happened that I showed him my electrosmog meter for fun. He immediately attacked me telling me this is all nonsense and RF is everywhere etc etc... so I showed him the difference in RF levels we have simply by opening the window! But he was not convinced...

CT Scan Radiation Triples Brain Tumor Risk in Children
CT scans, routinely performed on children and adults alike at the suggestion of their doctor, may actually triple the risk of developing leukemia or brain tumors in children. Scientists are now warning over the link between CT scan radiation and elevated brain tumor risk after the information was brought to the surface, thanks to new research stemming from Newcastle University. Alternative health experts have long warned against the large amount of unnecessary CT scans and other scanning techniques involving radiation.
