While around her kids Wyatt and Levi, Crow keeps her cell phone off at their request. "My 5-year-old...[said] 'Mommy, turn your phone off.' I realized: I'm with him and I'm somewhere else."

Effects of cellphone use on children studied

Kiwi scientists will investigate whether children who regularly use mobile phones are at greater risk of brain cancer because their skulls are smaller and softer than adults'.

A group of Massey University researchers in Wellington has received government funding to find out just how vulnerable children are to the radio-frequency electromagnetic fields given off by mobile phones.

Phone mast petition lodged by Rutherglen councillor gains weight in Scottish Parliament

The petition was lodged following concerns about the limited powers of the local planning committees over the siting of phone masts in a number of contentious applications in Rutherglen and Cambuslang – especially with regards to health issues.

Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board too stupid to properly research the health effects of Wi Fi radiation before implementing this dangerous new technology

Now all their children will be exposed to a possible carcinogen, known to cause heart problems and neurological harm etc.

Nonprofit forms to fight Northampton cell phone towers

Township residents against the ATC system want to join the court fight. Audrey Shapiro, one of the residents who helped form CONTACT, said the group's attorney, David Truelove, has filed petitions in both courts requesting that the citizens group be allowed to intervene on the side of the township. There's been no ruling on those requests.

Mobile phone giants' plans to axe 2000 masts in bid to save money
Daily Mail

By Daily Mail Reporter Vodafone and O2 are to tear down thousands of mobile phone masts, offering hope to opponents of the 'unsightly' towers. The two telecoms giants unveiled plans to share their telephone mast networks, allowing them to dismantle ...

iPad Dangers

I would like to bring to your attention that WiFi-enabled iPads (which are used in direct contact with chidren's bodies - hands, lap, abdomen etc) represents a health hazard comparable to cellphone , to our younger generation.

"an average smartphone uses 35 times the bandwidth of a regular cellphone", "tablet uses up to 121 times the bandwidth." http://goo.gl/QHYpS

In Canada, parents and schools are spending thousands and thousands of dollars purchasing iPads for use in homes and classrooms (even tho' they are 3 times the price of a netbook which can be wired). Toddlers are given iPads as toys and I was horrified to hear that a parent put an iPad next to a young child's pillow for bedtime stories and music. Parents need to be warned.

I have measured the microwave radiation of an iPad (with WiFi button turned on only, not browsing the internet and not downloading anything). The measurements from the WiFi-iPad spiked several times HIGHER than an iPhone on talking mode. I have also checked an iPad's magnetic field (WiFi off, just playing an already downloaded game) and it read 20 milligauss. I would like to share the following videos with you. Please feel free to test on your own. I think this danger which is fast-advancing in schools and homes across nations need to be brought to public awareness.

On the Apple forum, there have been repeated posts of complaints from people feeling dizziness and nausea after using iPad and had to return them. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2399586?start=0&tstart=0

Wi-Fi and Cellphone Radiation Comparison

Here are 2 videos to illustrate the comparison between an iPad on Wi-Fi mode and an iPhone on talking mode:

iPhone on Talking mode:
-Peaked at 19 μW/cm2 (microwatts/cm2). Most of the time measurements varied between 4-11μW/cm2.

-Continuous signal, but duration of use in talking mode likely shorter than internet browsing.

-Phone will be in direct contact with the ear and head (unless handsfree or headset are used).
-Wi-Fi was turned off on this phone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n097VN7KB_A

iPad on Wi-Fi mode:
-Peaked at 70 μW/cm2; several times higher than iphone on talk mode.

-Continual signals. Stop and spike every few seconds, from 0 to 50-70 μW/cm2 every few seconds.

-Duration of use for iPad is likely longer than talk-mode on cellphone - possibly for hours a day.

-iPad will be in direct contact with the student's hands or/and lap/abdomen.
-Note that there is no Wi-Fi network available. The iPad is not even logged onto any Wi-Fi network nor downloading anything.
-The iPad is not on airplane mode but there is no SIM card in it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVJI-0YogGo
-In this other video, the airplane mode is on and Wi-Fi is turned on. This one peaked at 39 microwatts/cm2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0qU2ov2U1w

* The highest I have measured of an iPad on Wi-Fi mode was actually at 90 μW/cm2, but I was not filming that time. Also, the probe of the RF meter is located in the middle of the spherical casing, about 2cm further from the outer shell of the case. As a result, the readings indicated in the video are not from "direct" contact of the iPad, which would be even higher; whereas the children's bodies would be in direct contact with the iPad - sometimes in the hands, sometimes on their laps against their reproductive organs.

Apple iPad2 Magnetic Fields:

http://youtu.be/dryhmu2GBVM

This is the back of the iPad which will be resting on children's laps. Look at the top line of the Tri-Field Meter, it shows that the magnetic fields of the iPad2 was at 15-20 milligauss even with Wi-Fi turned off and the unit is on Airplane Mode (no cellphone reception/connection).

Write to your MPs

I am going to meet two Members of Parliament this morning to promote Federal change of EMR standards.

Any help and information that you can provide about EMR dangers and safety suggestions will help.

Please write and send the information to your Federal Representatives (MPs).

The basis of the Israeli Env. Ministry's warning is this study:

SACRAMENTO, California, July 16, 2001 (ENS) - Added risk of miscarriage, childhood leukemia, brain cancer and greater incidence of suicide are some of the health risks associated with exposure to electric and magnetic fields such as those that radiate from power lines, according to a California health department review....Still, these results were not readily released to the public, according to the California First Amendment Coalition (CFAC) which mounted a lawsuit to make them public. In late June, the lawsuit was filed in Alameda Superior Court by the California First Amendment Coalition and Citizens Concerned about EMFs, two public benefit non-profit organizations. Defendants named in the suit are the California Department of Health Services (DHS), DHS Director Dr. Diana Bonta, the California Electric and Magnetic Fields Program, and EMF program Director Dr. Raymond Neutra. The two reports, one a compilation of all available scientific evidence, the other examaning policy implications of the data, were originally ordered by the California Public Utilities Commission in 1993. "We are delighted that the state decided to abide by the California Public Records Act rather than go through protracted litigation", said CFAC executive director Kent Pollock.

"The people of California won an important victory this morning."

"Note that the researchers used the word "cause" in this finding. This is a stronger finding than merely identifying a statistical link. Statistical links can result from unrelated phenomena. By using the term "cause" the research means they believe that power line magnetic fields is the agent that induces the enumerated diseases"
