New Delhi, Sep 1 (ANI): India will be among the select few countries in the world to have stringent EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency) Radiation Standards, established in the interest of public health, for mobile towers and mobile handsets, beginning today.
EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency) exposure limit (Base Station Emissions) has been lowered to 1/10th of the existing ICNIRP exposure level

Dangerous Cell Phone 'Hot Spots' and 'Pinging'
 
Here's a quick follow up to how smartphones still emit high levels of RF even when "off".  There are two things at work here.  One is the apps for turning phones into part of the wireless mesh network, essentially turning the phones into hotspots.  These apps mean that the phone will receive and send data for other phones.  Networks are moving to this more and more as they cannot provide enough bandwidth for all of the phones to be in use all of the time.  This feature appears to not be widely adopted yet, but is in the works.  The other issue is pinging.  Phones have always pinged, which is how they keep in touch with the closest infrastructure transmitters, but today's smartphones also have apps which keep in touch.  According to the article below this pinging can occur up to 2,400 times an hour.  Each ping creates a burst of radiation.  I consistently register these bursts when I test phones and they happen even when the phone is off.

Mesh networks are in your smartphone's future
Excerpt

Micha Benoliel's company, Open Garden, makes a mesh networking utility for Android smartphones and for Windows and Mac laptops (support for iOS is coming). It's a free app that turns your device into a mobile hot spot. No matter how you're connected to the Net (Wi-Fi or cellular), it makes that connection shareable (over Bluetooth) to other Open Garden users. Likewise, if you're running the product but don't have a connection to the Net, and you're near a user who does, this service seamlessly gets you online.
Benoliel says that, for the most part, carriers and ISPs welcome technologies that improve bandwidth for customers and that also lower power requirements (connecting to a nearby hot spot over Bluetooth takes a lot less power than linking to a cell tower). "The only way to improve the wireless networks is to increase the density of microcells or hot spots. I think carriers really understand that," he says. His pitch: "We turn every device into a hot spot... and we improve the network itself."
 
 
Man, Smartphones Just Don't Shut Up

A less talked-about issue is the fact that many smartphone apps are constantly pinging the network, like a kid asking his or her parents every few seconds, "Are we there yet?"

Only smartphone apps are even more annoying. Some ping the network as often as 2,400 times an hour.  If current trends continue, the constant pinging of the network could eventually amount to 25 trillion signaling events per hour.

Did 14,000 Americans Already Die from Fukushima Radiation?

"Deaths rose 4.46 percent from 2010 to 2011 in the 14 weeks after the arrival of Japanese fallout, compared with a 2.34 percent increase in the prior 14 weeks. The number of infant deaths after Fukushima rose 1.80 percent, compared with a previous 8.37 percent decrease. Projecting these figures for the entire United States yields 13,983 total deaths and 822 infant deaths in excess of the expected.

Wi
-Fi has been one of the most useful technologies developed over the past couple of decades and it's about to get even better (more harmful) now that manufacturers will be allowed to create devices that run on the former television "white space" spectrum that lets signals travel further and penetrate more deeply into buildings.

Children are vulnerable to mobile phone radiation

WHO classified the last electromagnetic fields from wireless information as 
possible carcinogens. Why do we expose children and young people?

Text Olle Johansson Translated and adapted by Iver Mysterud

Researchers, including those from Norway, have found that one learns letters more 
effective if you get hand-writing. The brain receives feedback from motor 
skills when writing by hand. The letters also provide impression in the 
motor memory in the brain's speech center. Draw The form connected with our 
way and express them, which promotes learning. Studies also show clearly 
that children who have learned to write by hand, remember the letters much 
better than those who just have to use the keyboard.

For time is an ongoing debate in Sweden about the school and children's 
learning. "Fornyerne" will replace textbooks and pens with the new wireless 
reading levels. Other highlights a cautionary educational finger.

These new wireless tools flooding Now schools and homes. Examples of such 
radiation sources are wireless routers, computers with wireless network 
adapters, wireless fixed phones, tablets (like the iPad) and mobile phones. 
While there are already several years ago demonstrated that exposure of such 
equipment, the electromagnetic fields can have strong biological effects and 
negative health effects.

Extensive documentation
There are now many scientific evidence that children are probably more 
vulnerable to pulsed microwave radiation than adults, and new research 
shows, among other serious effects on behavior and innlæringsevne.i, ii, iii 
It encourages general agreement among scientists that electromagnetic fields 
penetrated deeper into in the brain in children than in adults because 
children's skulls are thinner. There is also broad consensus that children 
are more susceptible to harmful effects of radiation because their bodies 
are developing. Children are not "little adults"!

WHO classified the last electromagnetic fields from wireless information as 
possible carcinogen, kreftframkallende.iv European Council Environment Committee 
requires in its Resolution 1815 of May 2011 strong measures to protect the 
public against cellular trawl applying effects. Among other things, it will 
have the ban on mobile phones and wireless internet in schools for the sake 
of children helse.v Committee will also lower the threshold for mobile 
sharply, which is fully consistent with the requirements of 
Seletunrapportens 2010.vi In this report requires an international group of 
scientists stop the further development of the wireless systems and new 
values. Seletun science panel (The Seletun Scientific Panel) published in 
February 2010 a resolution by a number of common positions and 
recommendations, based on a review of research that was then available on 
the health effects of electromagnetic felt.Error: Reference source not found 
Since then it has made even more rapporter.vii, viii, ix, x, xi, xii, xiii

Light radiation?
Sometimes we see the debate, some - often represent a radiation authority - 
claims that there is no danger because "radiation is so weak." Light in 
relation to what, I ask myself.

Today seated child in radiation levels that easily can be 1018 (a trillion) 
times higher than our natural background radiation. How is such a number 
described as "weak"?

Children who use a laptop for downloading from wireless internet, are 
exposed to as much radiation (about 1,000 microwatts per square foot and up) 
as if they were close to a base station for mobile telephone (50-100 
meters). There are many parents who are not aware of this. The numbers are 
not taken out of the air, but in the public polls that the Norwegian Post 
and Telecommunications Authority has made, including in schools in Oslo. 
Whether it concerns base stations, wireless networks or mobile phones, are 
we talking about the same type of radiation (range 1 to 2.5 gigahertz).

Behavioral Problems
A group of researchers in California recently conducted a large study of 
mobile phone use in pregnant kvinner.xiv They studied children who were born 
in Denmark some years (1998/1999) and interviewed mothers about their mobile 
phone use during pregnancy. They also asked about the child's cell phone use 
and behavior.

To the researchers' surprise, it turned out that the mothers who had used 
their phones most during pregnancy had the greatest risk of having children 
with behavioral problems, both autism and AD / HD-like behavior. The 
increase in risk was statistically significant and also increased further if 
the child used a mobile phone.

Such a study might not be sufficient to conclude that electromagnetic fields 
are dangerous for children. German researchers wanted to measure the 
radiation dose to children and young people are exposed to in daily life. 
They asked about 3000 children and adolescents in Bavaria to carry a 
dosimeter from morning to night. Dosimeters measured the radiation from cell 
phones, base stations and wireless networks.

It turned out that the quarter of the children who had been most exposed to 
radiation, more concentration problems at night than the rest of the kids. 
The same group also had more headaches and were more irritated than other 
youngsters. The result was again statistically signifikant.xv

Stress Hormones
An important question is which (n) mechanism (s) that could explain these 
symptoms in children and adolescents. The two German researchers Buchner and 
Eger measured levels of stress hormones in 60 residents of an area before 
you mounted one basestasjon.xvi Then they were again measured after six 
months and again after 1 ½ years after the antenna became operational. It 
turned out that residents had much higher levels of stress hormones 
epinephrine and norepinephrine six months after the base station was put 
into operation, and after another year the situation was not improved. It is 
obviously harmful to living with a constant stress situation in the body.

Effects on the fetus
Believing now that this is not just about children. No, even fetuses 
affected significantly and in a particularly alarming manner. Chinese 
scientists have studied the effects of mobile phone radiation on 
rottefostre.xvii researchers measured changes in both nerve cell 
neurotransmitters and effects on antioxidative enzymes that will protect our 
cells against oxidative stress. Conclusion? Mobile Trawl Inga during 
pregnancy resulted in damage to fetuses brains! They were thus born with 
brain damage. What mothers and fathers will?

Based on the above, urging the People Strålevernxviii in Norway parents of a 
formal agreement to which parents do not agree that the school or 
kindergarten expose their children to microwave radiation from wireless 
communication technology either in the classroom or indoor general. As 
parents encouraged Mon to also require that school / kindergarten adopt 
precautionary measures to minimize radiation exposure and the institution as 
soon as possible goes back to wired solutions for computer networks and 
internal telephone. The guardians are also encouraged to demand answers on 
who is responsible if the child is injured because of strålingseksponeringa.

Students and teachers report more frequently if abnormal fatigue in their 
work environment, ie school, and one can not currently dismiss the suspicion 
that exposure from wireless networks represent a significant and unnecessary 
risk to our children's and teachers' health. Academic course is not 
particularly complicated, as if for a layman may seem difficult to assess. 
The lack of knowledge is due today entirely inadequate research resources, 
not lack of ideas, hypotheses, theories or engagement.

It is impressive that the People Radiation now taking the initiative to 
protect the health of children and staff in schools and kindergartens and 
schools. But when will our responsible politicians realize that this issue 
deserves attention? Perhaps it is time to give our politicians understand 
their own boards instead of a tablet?
