The Canadian initiative to stop Wireless Electrical and Electromagnetic Pollution
30 January 2017
The BioInitiative Working Group - Comment to FCC
We have submitted a comment to the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, DC
on their proposal to streamline the process for small wireless facility permitting, and exempt small cell
installations from normal regulatory review as now required by the 1996 Telecommunications Act
for new cell towers (masts). If adopted, it will permit millions of new wireless antennas (small cells transmitting at high gigahertz frequencies) that are untested for effects on human health. It is the new infrastructure network envisioned to
establish 'The Internet of Things" where all devices, appliances and home controls are wirelessly interconnected.
FCC Docket 16-421 - STREAMLINING DEPLOYMENT OF SMALL CELL
INFRASTRUCTURE BY IMPROVING WIRELESS FACILITIES SITING POLICIES.
The FCC has not yet completed its investigation of RF health effects of low-intensity radio frequency radiation in the
800 MHz to 3 GHZ frequency range (cell phone radiation and Wi-Fi frequencies) which has been going on for the last two years.

French companies will have to protect employees from electromagnetic waves
(Google translation from French)
France Inter with Yann Gallic, January 1, 2017 This is one of the novelties of January 1: companies will now have to take into consideration the issue of electromagnetic waves to which employees are exposed

These waves are emitted especially by wireless equipment: Wi-Fi, mobile phones or tablets. It took three years for this European directive to be applied in France. A decree, published on August 6 in the Official Journal , on the "protection of workers against the risks arising from electromagnetic fields," said the exposure thresholds that must not be exceeded.
The employer must assess the risks incurred by its employee Employees should be informed of the risks and the workplaces where they are likely to be exposed to "electromagnetic field levels exceeding the values" should be reported to them and their access be limited. The results shall be communicated to the occupational physician and the health, safety and working conditions committee or, failing that, to the staff representatives and in the event of crossing the levels, workers may be given a medical examination.
Pregnant women and employees under 18 years of age will also receive special attention. Every effort should be made to ensure that the impact of waves is the lowest.
A first step for all employees "electrosensibles"
Sophie Pelletier is an engineer and works in a public administration in the center of Paris. For six years she has hardly any working life. Electro diagnosed by doctors, it is now recognized as a disabled worker because his health has continued to deteriorate due to electromagnetic waves: "In the meeting rooms and wifi in the subway and public transportation , Throughout the week I accumulate this exposure which ends up echoing my general state, with great fatigue, and creates me troubles of the heart rhythm, memory and attention that prevent me to return to work When I'm too tired ".
Sophie Pelletier continues the sick leave. She has repeatedly requested that her position and working time be adjusted. But she has always run into the misunderstanding of her employer. "It's a disease that does not fit in the boxes," she explains, "it's complicated for the employer to arrange a number of things to allow me to keep myself properly in the job. 'I lost two thirds of my salary for several years and it annoys me because I put a damper on my career, or my health, or both at the same time.
According to estimates, in France, there are now nearly 70,000 people with électrosensibibilité.

Krakow's bold step to curb electromagnetic pollution reflects growing evidence of harm
Lynne Wycherley summarises 2016's news highlights on the emerging bio-risks of rising exposure to non-ionisiong radiation. For how much longer can governments continue to ignore the growing evidence of harm?
---------------------------------------------------
In perspective: 878 Russian studies (1960-1997)
Regarding the
Hecht report, now you know why our Vice-President,
Chris Bird, so persistently encouraged the publication of these Russian studies into English in New York, in the 1980s (involving several visits to Moscow, especially to negotiate with Prof. Dr.
Alexander P. Dubrov, their principal compiler, and who became Minister of Health under Gorbachev, and also a PACE associate) and why we used these, as well as Polish, Czechoslovak, Belorussian, Ukrainian ones, in order that Dr.
Jerzy Kulcycki (
Polish Solidarity movement, neuroscientist at
Carleton University, and author of
Basis of Electromagnetic Hygiene, published by PACE) be able to merge this knowledge with the Western research in order
to develop some sense of full-spectrum non-ionizing radiation standards, which have since developed into
BioInitiative, EC/EP
Resolution 1815 (2011), now being implement throughout for many new installations.

Look at the photo of the device addicted audience, playing with their dangerous phones. This author needs to do more reading about the dangers of EMFs, before he lectures about technology.
Comment to article
Wi Fi is not a benefit, it is a strong and dangerous pollutant which, in the long term is likely to cause serious harm to children exposed to it.
There are thousands of scientific studies which show various adverse biological effects caused by wireless microwave radiation. The World Health Organization refers to wireless radiation as a class 2b possible carcinogen. Other studies indicate that it is a strong carcinogen.
The recent extensive USA study by the NTP indicated significant brain cancer, heart cancer and damage to DNA from wireless radiation.
Is this something that children should be exposed to?
Do your own research at www.bioinitiative.org a scientific report based on thousands of studies.

Keep Parks Safe from Wireless Radiation
The public were asked for their input for improving Canadian Parks:
Dear Ministers
Please keep Wi Fi, cell phone towers, other broadcasting antennas and any form of microwave radiation (other than for emergency services) out of Parks Canada properties and parks.
There is a massive amount of scientific information that indicates that wireless radiation causes cancers of various types, affects brains, damages DNA, changes blood composition, causes depression and disrupts sleep. There are people who can no longer live in their homes because they have become highly sensitized to wireless and other electromagnetic fields, they need safe areas like our National Parks so that they can survive and recover.
In addition to the harm to humans many studies have show serious harm to insects, birds, animals and trees when they are exposed to microwave radiation. This is not the kind of modern pollutant that should be allowed in the National Park system! The damage that wireless can do, may not be seen for several years and by then it will be too late!
As Stewards of our National treasures, please ensure that the Parks are kept as safe and as pristine as possible.
If you require more scientific information about the dangers of wireless radiation, I would be pleased to assist you.

Two new bills have been introduced in Massachusetts
I wanted to share with you that
this legislative session in Massachusetts
to help educate the public on the health effects of wireless radiation:
Senate Docket 1462: Resolve creating a special commission to examine the health impacts of electromagnetic fields; Presenter: Senator Karen Spilka
https://malegislature.gov/Bills/190/SD1462: This bill aims to form a commission to bring the right minds to the table at the State level to examine the biological and psychological effects of wireless radiation and excessive screen time. You may recall last session the bill was reported out favorably by the Joint Committee on Public Health. As bills typically don't progress the first time they are introduced, especially when submitted by citizen request, we are very grateful for the bill's initial movement. This session, we are humbled that Senator Karen Spilka has introduced the bill under her own name. The bill now indicates that commission members shall have no financial ties to the telecommunications, technology and energy industries and members are to examine non-industry funded peer-reviewed scientific studies in their analysis.
Senate Docket 344: An Act relative to utilities, smart meters, and ratepayers' rights ; Presenter: Senator Michael O. Moore
https://malegislature.gov/Bills/190/SD344: National Grid is piloting the utility "smart" meter grid in Worcester, MA
installing wireless meters on residences and businesses that emit microwave radiation 24/7 without informed consent. If the pilot succeeds, "smart" utility meters will be installed throughout Massachusetts. These have caused microwave sickness (electrosensitivity) to citizens here and in other states. This bill would give Massachusetts citizens the choice of keeping or re-installing mechanical analog meters that do not emit electromagnetic radiation. There would be no fee to choose the analog meter.
This is the week for constituents to ask their representatives to co-sponsor bills. Given you r commitment to raising awareness of EMFs,
I wonder if I might impose upon you to make a phone call to your State Representative and State Senator asking them to co-sponsor these two bills if you live in MA (and/or forward to others you may know in MA)
. If folks
would be so kind as to send a follow-up email to MA legislators
(and cc: me for tracking purposes), I understand they will be sitting down this week with printouts of all constituent requests to determine which bills folks care about. I am told there are more than 6,000 bills this session so it is important to set these two bills apart. E
mail s
needn't be long but should include sender's
name, address and phone number. Feel free to copy and paste the bill info above.
It would be a gift to all citizens, especially our children,
to look out for their health in this way. Here is a link to help find MA
legislators (and/or to send a thank-you to Senators Spilka and Moore for their leadership)
:
For folks who
haven't had a chance to examine the effects of wireless radiation on health, I hope they
will watch this five-part cable series. Each episode averages a half hour, and by
click ing
on SHOW MORE in the description on YouTube, folks
will find links to supporting information: tinyurl.com/Dangers-of-Wi-Fi. Please feel free to share with your colleagues and loved ones, and even your legislators.

FCC Causing a Danger to All
Dear EMF Stakeholders,
When it rains, it pours. Two days ago I sent an update asking folks in MA to request their legislators co-sponsor MA bills on EMFs (please still do that). Then we
learned something big is up at the Federal level. Below is an email I am sending to my contacts, please feel free to use any of it if it might help with your efforts too...
The FCC and industry are fast-tracking legislation that would take authority away from our municipalities in deciding whether or not we want the infrastructure needed for 5G and t
he Internet of Things. They did this back in 1997 too when they circumvented safety testing on cell phone technology then got the Telecommunications Act passed. That left our local authorities powerless as the industry put cell towers near homes, schools, hospitals, churches and senior housing. Many have become very ill, with no recourse.
Now the FCC and industry are trying to push through two bills in D.C. that will put small but extremely hazardous cell antennas in our neighborhoods on utility poles right outside our homes, schools, offices, everywhere. The 5G signal will carry huge doses of data faster, but not very far so the industry wants to install millions of these small cell antennas to carry the data from pole to pole. 5G will also use 3G and 4G technology so existing towers won't come down; 5G will add to the electrosmog. These small cell antennas will pulse biologically hazardous microwave radiation at us 24/7 at close range.
The way the Telecom Act is written today, industry is supposed to submit an application to town officials to put in antennas, and these new bills are trying to override this control measure for local authorities. Why is the FCC and industry in such a rush? The U.S. National Toxicology Program is in the middle of reporting out findings from a $25M multi-year study that has already found this radiation causes DNA damage, brain and heart tumors. More findings will come out in 2017.
The industry leaders are not concerned with
public health, they just want to be first to market. As soon as the NTP findings came out, they pushed to get approval to use the 5G spectrum. The Cellular Telephone Industry Association (CTIA-The Wireless Association) did its own big cancer study in the 1990s which showed the same findings, but they didn't inform the public. Instead, they crafted the Telecom Act and pushed cell phones and infrastructure on an unsuspecting public. Then they introduced wi-fi which exposes us even further indoors, and now they plan to roll out t
he Internet of Things and blanket our neighborhoods in radiation.
Please, don't take my word on all of this, when you have time I encourage you to investigate on your own (thank you, Katie Singer, author of Invisible Silent Spring, and others for this great resource on these two bills, and thank you world scientists for the EMF Scientists website which presents the facts on wireless radiation).
But for today, we need your voice (and every adult's in your house) in two ways:
1. Call your U.S. Senators' office with the following message; you can read it to the person who answers the phone, or leave it in voice mail. Phone numbers are given at the end of this email:
My name is ______ from (city/state) and I am calling to ask the Senator to Vote NO on MOBILE Now Act S.19 and DIGIT Act S.88 to stop 5G infrastructure and rollout of the Internet of Things. The National Toxicology Program has found the electromagnetic radiation used by wireless technology causes DNA damage, and brain and heart tumors. Non-industry funded studies all over the world report other short-and long-term biological effects, ranging from infertility, Alzheimer's and autism to digital addiction, insomnia, headaches, skin rashes, learning disabilities, behavioral issues, depression, anxiety and more. Please VOTE NO on the MOBILE Now Act S.19 and DIGIT Act S.88. Please insist on public hearings, and send a clear message to industry that they need to work with non-industry funded scientists to develop biologically safe technology. Thank you.
2. Email your U.S. Senators with the following message; email links are given below:
The National Toxicology Program has found the electromagnetic field (EMF) of radiation emitted by wireless technology causes DNA damage, and brain and heart tumors. Non-industry funded studies all over the world report other short-and long-term biological effects, ranging from infertility, Alzheimer's and autism to digital addiction, insomnia, headaches, nausea, nose/ear bleeds, skin rashes, cognitive impairment, learning disabilities, behavioral issues, depression, anxiety and more. Children, fetuses, the elderly and those with known health compromises are especially vulnerable. See www.emfscientist.org.
If this subject is new to you, you will likely have questions as we have all rapidly adopted wireless technology into our lives. Please read this high-level three-page overview titled, "EMF Points of Confusion vs. Fact" at
TinyURL.com/EMF-Facts. The FCC and industry are trying to fast-track these bills which will take away local authority from communities to decide whether they want toxic 5G/Internet of Things infrastructure installed at the street-level on poles right outside homes, schools, and offices. Please insist on public hearings, and send a clear message to industry that they need to work with non-industry funded scientists to develop biologically safe technology. Retired Microsoft Canada President Frank Clegg assures us they can, if given a nudge. See https://vimeo.com/134411701.
Please VOTE NO on the MOBILE Now Act S.19 and DIGIT Act S.88. Thank you.
This is how the system works. They log your call, then print out your email for the legislator. Multiple calls and emails get their attention. If there is no activity, or very little, the industry wins.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email. I hope you will take another ten minutes to call and send an email to your legislators before your head hits the pillow tonight. The Senate will vote on this any day now, and most do not even know wireless is hazardous yet. They've only heard the benefits from persuasive industry lobbyists.
Thank you for the courage to use your voice in a way that might really make a difference in our world!
