Another Smart Meter Fire

Rosalinda's Filipino Kitchen is currently closed after an electrical fire broke out inside the restaurant. The fire, which broke out shortly before 1 p.m., originated from an electrical panel, where a BC Hydro smart meter was located.

Smart Meter interupts electrical system

A huge pulse repeat every 10 seconds interrupting WIFI, blue tooth and wireless internet.
Stay with your original analog meter. I'm so pissed. My recording studio clients and friends won't use my facility.
Is there someone with an original analog meter that can legally switch me back? I don't want their new analog alternative either.
My trust in power conglomerates is irretrievably lost after this Smart Meter s**t.
This pulse is endlessly transmitted to every outlet and extension cord. It's nasty. Don't let them take your meter.

Beware of School Busses

They could cause heart attacks. stroke and accidents - wirelessly

The Wi-Fi works up to a 200-yard radius around the bus, which allows for more hands-on learning opportunities.

F.C.C. Wi Fi Rules

January 13, 2013

Dear Colleagues,

Below is the FCC's newly proposed rulemaking to provide for internet access on all commercial and private aircraft.

Please join us in commenting on this rulemaking at the FCC website (pertinent facts and link follow):

To date, there are NO comments submitted by any individual or organization representing health considerations.

The comments made (all in favor of) are by airline, telecom or satellite industry representatives and engineering and governmental agencies such as Homeland Security, etc.

It is imperative that your comment be submitted NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 25, 2013.

FACTS:

In the 90 page proposal, there is only 1 short mention of the requirement to submit "a radio frequency hazard analysis….via calculation, simulation or field measurements." (pg 83: 16.(b)(8) – document attached) And, this requirement only involves the exposure from the access point/antenna (aka ESAA) transmitting to/from the satellite; there is no consideration of the significant RF exposure passengers and crew will receive from simultaneous transmissions from passengers' numerous laptops, smartphones and tablets being used throughout the metal enclosure of the aircraft for the duration of the flight.

And, especially troubling is that the FCC's exposure compliance limit specified for applicants is the 20 year old (IEEE 1992) 1 mW/cm² for 30 minutes. This does not take into account non-thermal health effects from RF which have been documented by over 1,000 studies. Many of these studies document biological effects at exposure levels thousands of times lower than the FCC limit.

The FCC's obsolete and inadequate exposure limit does not consider the obvious fact that nearly every flight providing WIFI is over 30 minutes in duration, with many being as long as 8 hours of continuous microwave radiation exposure to passengers and crew.

Another serious issue is that passengers are being involuntarily exposed to potentially harmful levels of microwave radiation which has been classified by the World Health Organization as a possible human carcinogen – in the same category as lead and DDT.

Summary:

IB Docket No. 12-376 - NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING AND REPORT AND ORDER:

"In this Report and Order, we provide for the efficient licensing of two-way in-flight broadband services, including Internet access, to passengers and flight crews aboard commercial airliners and private aircraft. These rules will enhance competition in an important sector of the mobile telecommunications market in the United States and promote the widespread availability of Internet access to aircraft passengers." … "By means of satellite antennas mounted on the exterior of aircraft, satellites will be able to communicate with mobile devices used by passengers and crew of those aircraft. The satellite antenna will carry the signal to and from the aircraft, and mobile technologies such as Wi-Fi will provide communications within the aircraft's hull."

Proposed Part 25 Amendment:

§ 25.227 Blanket Licensing provisions for Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft (ESAAs) receiving in the 10.95-11.2 GHz (space-to-Earth), 11.45-11.7 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 11.7-12.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency bands and transmitting in the 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency band, operating with Geostationary Satellites in the Fixed-Satellite Service.

*** To submit a comment before Feb 25, 2013, go to: ***

http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=of77k

Under "Submit a Filing" – Enter the following proceeding number: 12-376

The required fields include the proceeding number, your name, your address and the uploading of your comments from a word or pdf file from your computer. You can also upload other supporting documents and attach them.

For those of you that are outside of the United States, please send this to your contacts in the states who are concerned about this issue.

Feel free to contact us for more information; one need not be an expert to comment.

What does the WHO IARC Classifications of ELF-EMF and RFR as Group 2B Possible Human Carcinogens Mean?

The World Health Organization International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC)

designated ELF-EMF as a Group 2B (Possible) Carcinogen in 2001. This is the kind of exposure from power lines, battery switching in cell phone devices, laptop computers and appliances. The World Health Organization specifically reaffirmed it's finding that EMF is classifiable as a Group 2B Possible Human Carcinogen in 2006 in their Health Criteria Monograph #238.

World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Cancer Classifications

Group 1 Known Human Carcinogen

Group 2A Probable Human Carcinogen

Group 2B Possible Human Carcinogen

Group 3 Insufficient Evidence

Group 4 Not A Carcinogen

In 2012, IARC determined that scientific evidence is sufficient now to classify radiofrequency radiation (non-ionizing) as a Group 2B Possible Human Carcinogen. This is the kind of exposure from cell and cordless phones, cell towers, WI-FI, wireless laptops, electronic baby monitors and wireless 'smart' utility meters.

So, what does this mean? According to the classification categories, it is again clear IARC did NOT find so little clear and consistent evidence to support a finding of "Not A Carcinogen". That would be the valid test that RFR is safe, as best public health experts can judge the evidence. Nor did IARC find that the evidence we have is just not sufficient yet to decide the question (to make a judgment). Rather, IARC found the evidence supports classification as a Possible (not Probable or Known Carcinogen) cancer-causing agent.

That is not a weak or reckless judgment made with few facts. It should be a strong warning to governments to reconsider their safety standards, particularly in light of the billions of people at potential health risk from new wireless technologies. That studies of cell and cordless phones and of wireless whole-body RFR exposures already make health impacts 'epidemiologically visible' (Sections 11 and 21).

EMI and Medical Implants

Prof. Gary Olhoeft's Powerpoint presentation on "EMI and Medical Implants". Prof. Olhoeft has a Deep Brain Stimulator (DBS) in his head for Parkinson's disease, and he has a cardiac pacemaker so awareness of sources of EMI is of great relevance to his personal health and safety.

The video of his presentation, "Electromagnetic Interference and Medical Implants" to the EMR Policy Institute on December 7, 2009, is available on YouTube at:
