Abstract

Increasing use of mobile phones creates growing concern regarding harmful effects of radiofrequency non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (NIER) on human tissues located close to the ear where phones are commonly held for long periods of time. We studied 20 subjects in the 'mobile phone group' who had a mean duration of mobile phone use of 12.5 years (range 8-15) and a mean time use of 29.6 hours per month (range 8-100). Deaf individuals served as controls. We compared salivary outcomes (secretion, oxidative damage indices, flow rate and composition) between mobile phone users and non-users.

We report significant increase in all salivary oxidative stress indices studied in mobile phone users. Salivary flow, total protein, albumin and amylase activity were decreased in mobile phone users. These observations lead to the hypothesis that the use of mobile phones may cause oxidative stress and modify salivary function.

Mount Alexander Council requests smart meters health safety guarantee!

http://stopsmartmeters.com.au/2012/08/20/mount-alexander-council-requests-smart-meters-health-safety-guarantee/

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Stop Smart Meters Australia

Mount Alexander Council has passed a motion last week calling for the roll-out of wireless smart meters in the Shire to be made voluntary until a public statement can be provided, guaranteeing safety from non-thermal chronic exposure to RF radiation from smart meters. The motion calls for the Council to write to the Minister for Energy and Resources, the Honourable Michael O'Brien, requesting this guarantee in the light of concerns regarding the potential ill health effects of smart meters. The response from the Minister is to be brought to a future Council Meeting.

In addition, the motion calls for the Council to ask the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) to put forward a Notice of Motion at the next State Council requesting the MAV to investigate possible health problems associated with smart meters and, based on the outcome, to take appropriate action.

Stop Smart Meters Australia applauds Mount Alexander Shire Councillors on this initiative. We look forward to more Councils lobbying the MAV!

Mount Alexander Shire councillors have shown that they truly are listening to residents' concerns regarding the health safety of wireless smart meters. We await the response from the Minister for Energy and Resources to their motion!

Wi-Fi goes to high court in Israel

Lawyer Michael Bach represents 1) lawyer Dafna Tachover 2) the chairwoman of the national parents leadership 3) sane cellular forum. The education ministry was warned in a letter before lawsuit in the high court that if they do not ban the Wi-Fi until Monday they will be sued.

The responses to an article that was published about it, show that most people do not understand what's the problem, many mocking, claiming that there is radiation everywhere anyway, that parents who sue are parents who give their children cell phone iphone etc... most of the responses are like that.

Ynet is the most popular website in Israel, belonging to the biggest national newspaper.

California Coastal Commission Votes Unanimously to Approve Big Basin State Park Verizon Cell Sites

Studies of tadpoles exposed to cell tower radiation show 90% mortality rates, and the wetlands adjacent to one of the cell sites is crucial habitat for the red-legged frog and other endangered species.

Cell Phone Towers Disrupt Police Radio System

Specifically, officials said, cell phone towers operated by AT&T Wireless have been interfering with the city's public safety communications frequency and causing radio failures among police and firefighters on city streets.

"If the officer is in an area close to one of their cell sites, essentially the cell site overpowers their radios," he said.

Group Claims Smart Meters Are Hazardous To Your Health

The utility company said it's smart meter will take a reading once an hour, but only send back a message once a day, much different from a cell phone that is on constantly and always sending a signal.

(Note - once a day is much different from most smart meters that we are aware of - does this mean the utility company is not telling the truth, as others have in the past, or have they found a method of using smart meters much more safely? Why not only once a week or once a month to be even more safe?)

Implications of IARC classification that are not spoken aloud

The IARC classification justifies implementation of the Precautionary Principle, confirms the existence of non-thermal effects and justifies revision of safety standards.

Wi Fi Dangers to Children

Mr Gibb. Minister For Schools.

Date: 13/10/2011

Wi-Fi Risk in Schools.

Minister,

Following our discussion last Friday, please find enclosed the letter requested.

By 1976, thousands of Government research documents existed highlighting the health dangers of below-thermal (Wi-Fi) microwave irradiation. In this year, the U.S Government advised Western Governments to... 'not enforce stringent exposure standards as this would become unfavourable for industrial output.'

This directive exists today. The U.S Government listed both physiological and neuropathological illnesses from low-level microwave irradiation.

Concerning the above radiation:

Children are more vulnerable than adults due to immature immune systems, soft bones, the blood-brain-barrier being under-developed, damage to ovarian follicles and their size ( they absorb more radiation).

Research has shown over 200 clusters of Staff and Childhood illnesses in schools, attributed to low-level microwave irradiation. I know of three countries removing Wi-Fi from schools purely on health grounds.

These phenomena have been raised by MP's in the House of Commons, arguing over cancer clusters of children exposed to such radiation. One such case concerned eleven children under the age of eleven- another contained twelve children.

Following each such debate a Minister stands and says "...HPA adheres strictly to the I.C.N.I.R.P Guidelines ..."- or similar words. These statements are in fact untrue. The I.C.N.I.R.P statement actually says: 'Children may have a lower tolerance ... than the rest of the population ... decision-makers should review current scientific literature ... determine appropriate reduction factors.'

This became the focus of the international Bio-Initiative Report which set new safety levels as recommended by the Council of Europe.

A classroom of Wi-Fi laptops exceeds, by many orders of magnitude, this E.U safety level. The classrooms' radiation level even exceeded that from a W.H.O adviser, who found that 47.7% of pregnant women miscarried before the 8th week of pregnancy, with levels much lower than those in any classroom. This phenomenon has now been confirmed experimentally with other mammalian species, and published.

Exacerbating this is the 'knock on effect' of ovarian damage to young girls. This problem is two-fold:

Firstly, the ovarian follicles can suffer D.N.A damage (mitochondrial DNA is 10 x's more susceptible to low-level chronic microwave irradiation than other DNA) leading to genetically damaged offspring.

N.B. Mitochondrial DNA is irreparable, thence will succeed through successive generations.

Secondly, should a pregnant student or teacher suffer this irradiation, the embryo/foetus has little or no defence mechanisms for the first ~100 days of pregnancy. At this time, the lady may not know she is pregnant and hence take little or no precautions, for the protection of her embryo. There is no known safe level for an embryo/foetus or child.

Often, an overlooked point is that the absorption of this radiation is accumulative and a low dose can be as harmful, over a long period, as a short high dose. The industry's own research shows this-hence their warnings to children/pregnant women.

Finally, on a global scale, research publications now show the Communications Industry to be the most polluting on the Planet, re carbon footprint - exceeding that of the Aviation Industry.

Introducing Wi-Fi into every school can only compound this problem. Also my personal discussions with Royalty, Ministers, Governments and Leaders of Communities, show that they worry about a possible ~ 40% increase in their health budget in anticipation of the (minimum) ~ 3% + to (maximum) ~ 47.7% of sick populations - some of this from the modulations/pulses entraining the brain waves, causing mental illness and severe physical conditions.

Biological Effects on Vegetables by Electricity

The electric current apparently stresses the potatoes, and they produce more polyphenols as a protective measure. The team suspected that the same effect would occur with sweet potatoes, but until now, nobody had tried.
