 Scientific research concerning human well-being and health in the vicinity of phone masts.This is an overview of all epidemiologic and provocative research concerning human well-being and health in the vicinity of masts for GSM and UMTS (3G) mobile communication. The object of the research are living humans. This overview does not contain in vitro or in vivo (animals) laboratory research, because they do not give a consistent picture of what happens to people who are exposed permanently to pulsed radiofrequency radiation. more see also "Bisherige Studien zu Schädigungen durch Mobilfunk-Sender" and (ex) Research Studies done on Microwave Radiation Google News Alerts for: Electrical fields, cell phone masts cancer Electromagnetic fields linked to cancers in railway workers Insider Medicine - Kingston, Ontario, Canada Electric and magnetic fields are areas of energy that surround any electrical device, and are produced by power lines, electrical wiring and appliances.

 Leukämiegefahr in der Nähe von deutschen Kernkraftwerken aus KiKK-StudieKaatsch P, Spix C, Schulze-Rath R, Schmiedel S, Blettner M. Leukaemia in young children living in the vicinity of German, nuclear power plants. Int J Cancer. 2008 Feb 15;122(4):721-6. Stellungnahme des externen Expertengremiums des BfS zur KiKK-Studie Kernkraft und Kinderkrebs Studie im Auftrag des Bundesamtes für Strahlenschutz Man hat es geahnt, gefühlt, gewusst, aber noch nicht beweisen können. Eine neue Studie des Bundesamtes für Strahlenschutz, die der Süddeutschen Zeitung vorliegt, legt es jetzt offen: Im Umkreis der 16 deutschen Reaktor-Standorte erkranken Kleinkinder überdurchschnittlich häufig an Leukämie. Süddeutsche Zeitung 07.12.2007 Von Werner Bartens und Michael Bauchmüller  Kleinkinder, die in der Nähe von Kernkraftwerken leben, erkranken offenbar häufiger an Krebs. Das geht aus einer Studie im Auftrag des Bundesamtes für Strahlenschutz hervor, die der "Süddeutschen Zeitung" vorliegt. Demnach steigt die Zahl krebskranker Kinder, je näher ihr Wohnort an einem der 16 deutschen Reaktorstandorte liegt. Dieser Zusammenhang sei "statistisch signifikant".Forscher der Universität Mainz stellten fest, dass im Fünf-Kilometer-Umkreis der Reaktoren 37 Kinder neu an Leukämie erkrankt sind. Im statistischen Durchschnitt wären im Untersuchungszeitraum zwischen 1980 und 2003 aber lediglich 17 Fälle zu erwarten gewesen. Daher stünden 20 zusätzliche Leukämiefälle laut Analyse der Forscher im Zusammenhang damit, dass die Kinder so nah an den Kernkraftwerken wohnten. "Unsere Studie hat bestätigt, dass in Deutschland ein Zusammenhang zwischen der Nähe der Wohnung zum nächstgelegenen Kernkraftwerk zum Zeitpunkt der Diagnose und dem Risiko, vor dem fünften Geburtstag an Krebs (bzw. Leukämie) zu erkranken, beobachtet wird", schreiben die Forscher. Ein Mitglied* des Expertengremiums, das die Studie betreut hat, hält die Schlussfolgerungen sogar für untertrieben. Ihm zufolge weisen die Daten sogar auf ein erhöhtes Krebsrisiko für Kinder im Umkreis von 50 Kilometern hin. *siehe Bericht unten das ist ein Beweis wie diskret SZ manipuliert. |

| Wie Frau Dr. Blettner und Frau Dr. Kaatsch mal wieder alles verharmlosen. auf iddd.de seit 12.02.2009 die Stellungnahme wurde der amtlichen Seite des BfS entnommen. Die Leukämiefälle mit natürlicher Radioaktivität zu erklären, ist lächerlich. Stellungnahme des externen Expertengremiums des BfS zur KiKK-Studie Dr. I. Brüske-Hohlfeld , Prof. Dr. E. Greiser, Prof. Dr. W. Hoffmann, Dr. A. Körblein , Prof. Dr. K.H. Jöckel, PD Dr. H. Küchenhoff , Dr. S. Pflugbeil, Dr. H. Scherb, Dr. K. Straif , Prof., Dr. J.U. Walther , Prof. Dr. S. Wirth , K. Wurzbacher Nach einer internen Diskussion des Abschlußberichtes zur KiKK-Studie am 9. und 10.12.2007 kommt das externe Expertengremium zu folgenden Bewertungen A. Analysen im Rahmen des Studienauftrages 1) Hauptergebnis der Studie ist eine kontinuierliche Zunahme des Erkrankungsrisikos für Krebserkrankungen und Leukämie bei unter 5jährigen Kindern mit zunehmender Wohnnähe zum nächstgelegenen Atomkraftwerksstandort. 2) Das abgestimmte Design entspricht dem Stand der epidemiologischen Wissenschaft. 3) Die Methodik der Modellierung der kontinuierlichen Entfernungsvariablen ist adäquat. Beide in der Studie verwendeten Modelle zeigen eine gute Anpassung an die erhobenen Daten. Die Modelle erlauben eine Schätzung der Erkrankungsrisiken in Abhängigkeit von der Entfernung des Wohnortes vom nächstgelegenen Atomkraftwerksstandort. 4) Die Anregungen des externen Expertengremiums hinsichtlich Analysen zur Daten- und Ergebnisqualität wurden mehrheitlich umgesetzt. Aus diesen Analysen ergeben sich keine Hinweise auf bedeutsame Verzerrungen der Ergebnisse. 5) Die Autoren konstatieren zu Recht, dass das Erkrankungsrisiko an kindlichen Krebserkrankungen und Leukämie mit zunehmender Wohnnähe zu einem Atomkraftwerk signifikant und stetig zunimmt. Die Studie ist weltweit die methodisch aufwendigste und umfassendste Untersuchung dieses Zusammenhanges. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Wohnnähe und Erkrankungsrisiko ist damit für Deutschland hinreichend belegt. 6) Die Qualität der Datenerhebung, -aufarbeitung und -analyse kann derzeit nicht abschließend beurteilt werden, weil die dafür erforderlichen Informationen dem externen Expertengremium nicht zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Diese Fragen hätten durch das vom externen Expertengremium vorgeschlagene Audit geklärt werden können. Das Expertengremium empfiehlt, die Frage des Audits weiter zu verfolgen. B. Weitere Analysen durch die Auftragnehmer 7) Die Berechnungen zum Attributivrisiko waren im Auswerteplan nicht vorgesehen. Für die Kommunikation der Ergebnisse an die Politik und Öffentlichkeit ist eine Angabe des der Wohnortnähe zum Reaktor zuzuschreibenden Risikos und zum bevölkerungsbezogenen Risiko unverzichtbar. 8) Im vorliegenden Fall wurden die Berechnungen nicht korrekt durchgeführt. - Es wurde lediglich die 0-5 km-Region um die Atomstandorte berücksichtigt, während die übrigen Anteile des Untersuchungsgebietes außer acht blieben, obwohl auch dort signifikant erhöhte Risiken berechnet wurden. - Die Bezugspopulation für die Berechung des Anteiles aller Krebs- und Leukämiefälle bei Kindern unter 5 Jahren ist nicht korrekt bestimmt. In der Konsequenz wurde der tatsächlich auf die Wohnnähe zu Atomstandorten zurückzuführende Anteil der Krebsfälle unterschätzt. - Statt der von den Autoren allein für die 0-5 km Region angegebenen zusätzlichen 29 Krebsfälle bei Kindern unter 5 Jahren muss von mindestens 121-275 zusätzlichen Neuerkrankungen im Umkreis von 50 km um alle westdeutschen Atomstandorte im Zeitraum zwischen 1980-2003 ausgegangen werden. Dies entspricht 8-18 % aller im 50 km Umkreis um Atomanlagen aufgetretenen Krebserkrankungen bei unter 5jährigen Kindern. - Bezogen auf alle im Deutschen Kinderkrebsregister gespeicherten Erkrankungsfälle im gleichen Zeitraum entspricht dies einem Anteil von 1,03 - 2,35 %. Bei dieser Zahl muss davon ausgegangen werden, dass es sich hierbei um eine Unterschätzung handelt, weil designbedingt nicht alle betroffenen Kinder erfasst werden konnten. Dieses Risiko liegt erheblich über dem von den Autoren berichteten 0,22%. 9) Die Autoren schreiben, dass "… aufgrund des aktuellen strahlenbiologischen und strahlenepidemiologischen Wissens die von deutschen Kernkraftwerken im Normalbetrieb emittierte ionisierende Strahlung grundsätzlich nicht als Ursache interpretiert werden kann." Im Gegensatz zu den Autoren ist das externe Expertengremium einhellig der Überzeugung, dass aufgrund des besonders hohen Strahlenrisikos für Kleinkinder sowie der unzureichenden Daten zur Emissionen von Leistungsreaktoren dieser Zusammenhang keinesfalls ausgeschlossen werden kann. Darüber hinaus sprechen mehrere epidemiologische Kausalitätskriterien für einen solchen Zusammenhang. Es ist jetzt Aufgabe der Wissenschaft, einen Erklärungsansatz für die Differenz zwischen epidemiologischer und strahlenbiologischer Evidenz zu finden. 10) Die Autoren der Studie führen zur Erklärung des von ihnen nachgewiesenen Risikos um Atomkraftwerke noch unbekannte Faktoren (sog. Confounder), nicht näher beschriebene Selektionsmechanismen oder den statistischen Zufall an. Alle drei Erklärungsansätze hält das externe Gremium angesichts der Studienergebnisse für unwahrscheinlich. Frankfurt/Main, am 10.12.2007 Für das Expertengremium: E. Greiser K-H. Jöckel W.

Moreno,† and Cristina García-Viguera*† Food Science and Technology Department and Plant Nutrition Department, CEBAS-CSIC, P.O. Box 164, Espinardo, Murcia, Spain Received June 8, 2007 Abstract: Cooking as a domestic processing method has a great impact on food nutrients. Most Brassica (Brassicaceae, Cruciferae) vegetables are mainly consumed after being cooked, and cooking considerably affects their health-promoting compounds (specifically, glucosinolates, phenolic compunds, minerals, and vitamin C studied here). The microwave cooking process presents controversial results in the literature due to the different conditions that are employed (time, power, and added water). Therefore, the aim of this work was to study the influence of these conditions during microwave cooking on the human bioactive compounds of broccoli. The results show a general decrease in the levels of all the studied compounds except for mineral nutrients which were stable under all cooking conditions. Vitamin C showed the greatest losses mainly because of degradation and leaching, whereas losses for phenolic compounds and glucosinolates were mainly due to leaching into water. In general, the longest microwave cooking time and the higher volume of cooking water should be avoided to minimize losses of nutrients. Keywords: Brassica oleracea; microwave; domestic; cooking; glucosinolates; phenolic compounds; ascorbic acid; minerals. |

| Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) Cell Phone Units Produce Elevated Extremely-Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field Emissions From: Martin Weatherall, weather on golden.net Subject: Fw: Mobile under the pillow Wed, 14 Nov 2007 Hi All This series of e-mail messages and the attached scientific document, illustrate the dangers of sleeping close to a cell phone or PDA device, or carrying this type of device close to the body. Please warn others about this danger. Martin The original Report on iddd.de, 21.11.2007, .pdf. 188,4 KB Cindy Sage,1 *Olle Johansson,2 and S.Amy Sage 1 1 1396 Danielson Road,Santa Barbara,California 2 The Experimental Dermatology Unit, Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute,Stockholm, Sweden Initial tests indicate that personal and occupational use of personal digital assistants (PDAs or palm-held wireless units) produce high intensity bursts of extremely-low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF). These emissions could result in comparatively high ELF-EMF exposure in persons that carry a PDA close to the body (i.e., in a pocket or on a belt); or held to the head for cell phone conversations. ELF-EMF emissions of 10 mTwere recorded on PDAs during normal office use over a 24 h test period. Results of ELF-EMF measurements show that email transmit and receive functions produce rapid, short-duration ELF-EMF spikes in the 2-10 mikroT range, each lasting several seconds to over a minute apparently depending on file download size. Some units produced spikes as high as 30-60 mikroT during email activities. Cell phone activity on PDAs produced continuously elevated ELF-EMF readings in the 0.5-1 mikroT range, as opposed to the rapid spiking pattern for email receipt and transmission. Switching the PDA unit from "OFF" to "ON" position resulted in single ELF-EMF pulses of over 90 mikroT on two units. Email downloads into the PDA can occur randomly throughout the day and night when the unit is "ON"; thus the user whowears the PDAmay be receiving high-intensity ELF-EMF pulses throughout the day and night. The frequency of email traffic on the PDA, and the power switching unit (battery unit) may affect the frequency and intensity of ELF-EMF emissions. Bioelectromagnetics 28:386-392, 2007.

| Topical Vitamin C Stops Basal Cell Carcinoma 21.11.2007 From: "Iris Atzmon" Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, November 9, 2007 Topical Vitamin C Stops Basal Cell Carcinoma (OMNS Nov 9 2007) The most common form of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, often responds to a remarkably simple, safe, at-home treatment: vitamin C. Physicians and patients report that vitamin C, applied directly to basal cell skin cancers, causes them to scab over and drop off. [1] Successful use involves a highly-concentrated vitamin C solution, directly applied to the blemish two or three times a day. Vitamin C is selectively toxic to cancer cells, but does not harm healthy skin cells. This is also the basis for high-dose intravenous vitamin therapy for cancer. [2] Even higher concentrations of vitamin C can be obtained by direct application. The use of topical vitamin C to kill basal cell carcinoma has been known at least since 1971. Frederick R. Klenner, MD, wrote: "We have removed several small basal cell epithelioma with a 30 percent ointment" of vitamin C. [3] One person, who reported that a 2mm diameter spot on the nose would not heal for months, had it disappear within a week with twice-daily concentrated vitamin C applications. Another patient reported that after dermatologist-diagnosed multiple spots of basal cell carcinoma were coated with vitamin C, the spots fell off within two weeks. [4] Basal cell carcinomas are slow growing and it is rare for them to metastasize. This provides an opportunity for a therapeutic trial of vitamin C, provided one has proper medical diagnosis and follow-up. Preparation of a water-saturated vitamin C solution is simple. Slowly add a small amount of water to about half a teaspoon of vitamin C powder or crystals. Use just enough water to dissolve the vitamin C. Using less water will make a paste. Either way, application with the fingertip or a cotton swab, several times daily, is easy. The water will evaporate in a few minutes and leave a plainly visible coat of vitamin C crystals on the skin. Consult your doctor before employing this or any other self-care treatment. A physician's diagnosis is especially important, since other forms of skin cancer, such as melanoma, are faster growing and more dangerous. If the vitamin C treated area is not improved after a few weeks, a doctor should be consulted once again. References: [1] William Wassell, MD: Skin cancer and vitamin C.

| Adlkofer suggests connection between ERK-cascade and DNA-damage by EMF Thu, 8 Nov 2007 sent by Frans van Velden And what does Xu, the ICNIRP member who found non-thermal DNA damage, have to say about the thermal ICNIRP standard which he represents? Iris Atzmon 'Genes damaged by radiation' 'Connection between ERK-cascade and DNA-damage' Prof. Franz Adlkofer suggests a connection between the ERK-cascade found by Rony Seger and his team and the damage to DNA by high frequency electromagnetic fields, as found by scientific research. The DNA-damage might develop because the weak signal of the high frequency radiation is detected and amplified. Adlkofer suggested the connection at a meeting of the Open University at Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Adlkofer of the Verum Foundation in München, Germany, was the leader of the European Reflex Study. A significant increase of damage to DNA by high frequency fields was found in part of the research. The Rony Seger team of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, found that the so-calles ERK-cascade is activitated by high frequency electromagnetic fields, at a 'non thermal' density. The ERK-cascade is a relatively fast reaction to a signal detected by a cell, working like a biological amplifier by transcription of proteins. ERK is short for 'extracellular signal regulated kinase', a signal activated enzym. The findings of the team were published by Friedman in the peer-reviewed magazine Biochemical Journal. Adlkofer was the leader of the Reflex-project ('Risk evaluation of potential environmental hazards from low energy electromagnetic fields exposure using sensitive in vitro methods'). The research found a significant increase of DNA-breaking and micro-nuclei in certain cells influenced by non-thermal high frequency fields. The Chinese researcher Xu (a member of a committee of ICNIRP) had found the same before in 2005. The observations were confirmed by Schär of the University of Basel, Switzerland, but could not be confirmed by Speit of the University of Ulm, Germany. Why not, is unclear. As a matter of fact, many more scientists foudn a significant increase of DNA-breaking, among them Gandhi in India, who tested in vivo (living people with and without mobile phone) Adlkofer said that epidemiological studies, like the most recent research of the Interphone studies, show that the chance of a brain tumor increases after ten years. It is well known, that the time between DNA-damage and the development of a tumor can be long. Adlkofer emphasized that it the suggestion, that only thermal high frequency fields would have negative consequences for health, is wrong. It is a fact without doubt that DNA-damage and the amount of micro-nuclei can increase siginificantly, though according to him it has not been confirmed in vivo sufficiently yet. He said possibly the use of electromagnetic fields is a high risk for public health. 6 november 2007 Sources: - original sheets by Adlkofer, Open University, Gelsenkirchen, Germany, version 27 09 07 - Friedman et al.

But it's getting harder when the force becomes stronger. That is what is needed to stregnthen. They need to explain to the public how they ignore clear existing scientific data. They need to explain their selective glasses. "We checked it and the WHO/ICNIRP is OK" is not good enough. But they try it until they will get the next hit.

| MTHR report PL (from Mona Nilsson) and Hardell's studies excluded Thu, 13 Sep 2007 on iddd.de 18.9.2007 Iris Atzmon: "We cannot rule out the possibility [of] an association for exposures for more than 10 years. The numbers appeared to show some slight hint ... it's a faint suggestion that needs to be followed up." (press release) On mechanisms: "stress could be produced by RF exposure at levels well below guidline values" "although the power loss resulted in a rise in temperature of only about 0.2 C degrees, the reporter gene was sufficiently sensitive to detect this effect and this accounted for the stress response previously attributed to a non-thermal mechanism." "it seems most unlikely that the interaction of the modulated RF fields with tissue could differ appreciately from that of the original wave, however...."  And another thing: the author of the attached meta-analysis won't tell me why he excluded Hardell's studies. (Cellular phone use and brain tumor: a meta-analysis Peter Kan; Sara E. Simonsen; Joseph L. Lyon; John R. W. Kestle, .pdf, 206 KB)from Mona Nilsson: Hint of cancer risk after 10 years mobile phone use, say researchers - Study finds no danger for adults over shorter period - Advice to ban mobiles for children under eight holds a.. Alok Jha, science correspondent b.. The Guardian c.. Thursday September 13 2007 Mobile phones do not pose health problems to adults in the short term but there is a "slight hint" of a cancer risk for long-term users, according to the results of a study which could not rule out risks of brain or ear cancer for those who have used mobiles for more than 10 years. "We found no association between incidence and exposure for people who have used their phones for less than 10 years," said Lawrie Challis, chair of the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research programme. "But we cannot rule out the possibility [of] an association for exposures for more than 10 years. The numbers appeared to show some slight hint ... it's a faint suggestion that needs to be followed up." The researchers involved in the six-year study said they would further investigate in the next phase of their work, which would also examine the effects of mobile phones on children's health. The £8.8m MTHR programme is a joint project funded by government and the mobile phone industry in response to Sir William Stewart's independent inquiry in 2000 into the safety of mobiles. He has concluded that mobile phones seem to pose no problems but has recommended further research. The group's report, published yesterday, collates the work of 28 studies it has backed, as well as other research from around the world that has looked at the effects of mobile phones on health factors such as blood pressure, brain function and cancer. It concludes that there is no evidence of short-term effects from either GSM or 3G handsets or base stations. There is also no evidence, the researchers say, of the phones causing the symptoms described as electrical hypersensitivity, a phenomenon affecting up to 4% of people in the UK who describe a sense of tingling or dizziness in the presence of electrical signals. For the long term, however, there is less certainty. Paul Elliott, an epidemiologist at Imperial College London, said: "In some of the studies there was an excess of malignant brain tumours and acoustic neuromas [ear cancers]. But the excess is quite small and is at the borderline of statistical significance." Regarding the question over the effects of mobiles on children, Professor Challis said: "At this stage we have no evidence at all that mobile phones or masts hurt children. But we do know that [regarding] a number of other environmental agents - lead, tobacco smoke, ultraviolet radiation, ionising radiation - children react differently to them and often more severely, than do adults." The professor said that his group's findings did not contradict the advice from Sir William, who, in 2005, urged parents to limit their children's use of mobile phones as a precaution, and advised that under-eights should not use them at all. Starting next year the MTHR researchers will begin a £6m health study on more than 200,000 mobile phone users from across Europe. http://guardian.co.uk/science/2007/sep/13/mobilephones.health?gusrc=rss&feed=11 More: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6989132.stm http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91221-1283668,00.html MTHRs pressrelease http://mthr.org.uk/press/p7/p7_2007.htm http://mthr.org.uk/documents/MTHR_report_2007.pdf |

| Pulsed radio-frequency electromagnetic fields: dose-dependent effects on sleep, the sleep EEG and cognitive performance J Sleep Res. 2007 Sep;16(3):253-8. Regel SJ, Tinguely G, Schuderer J, Adam M, Kuster N, Landolt HP, Achermann P. Institute of Pharmacology & Toxicology, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. To establish a dose-response relationship between the strength of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and previously reported effects on the brain, we investigated the influence of EMF exposure by varying the signal intensity in three experimental sessions. The head of 15 healthy male subjects was unilaterally exposed for 30 min prior to sleep to a pulse-modulated EMF (GSM handset like signal) with a 10 g-averaged peak spatial specific absorption rate of (1) 0.2 W kg(-1), (2) 5 W kg(-1), or (3) sham exposed in a double-blind, crossover design. During exposure, subjects performed two series of three computerized cognitive tasks, each presented in a fixed order [simple reaction time task, two-choice reaction time task (CRT), 1-, 2-, 3-back task]. Immediately after exposure, night-time sleep was polysomnographically recorded for 8 h. Sleep architecture was not affected by EMF exposure. Analysis of the sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed a dose-dependent increase of power in the spindle frequency range in non-REM sleep. Reaction speed decelerated with increasing field intensity in the 1-back task, while accuracy in the CRT and N-back task were not affected in a dose-dependent manner. In summary, this study reveals first indications of a dose-response relationship between EMF field intensity and its effects on brain physiology as demonstrated by changes in the sleep EEG and in cognitive performance.

| Mobile phone use and cancer linked By Nic Fleming, Science Correspondent Last Updated: 2:11am BST 30/08/2007 Fresh fears over the health hazards linked to using mobile phones have been raised after scientists found that handset radiation could trigger cell division. A study found that exposure to mobile phone signals for just five minutes stimulated human cells to split in two - a process that occurs naturally when tissue grows or rejuvenates, but that is also central to the development of cancer. a.. Previous research on the safety of mobile use has led to conflicting conclusions, with some suggesting links with tumours in the nervous system and others finding no risks. The six-year Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme, which provided £8.4 million of Government and industry funding for 25 studies, is expected to present its final report next month. Official guidance that mobile phones were safe was based on the mainstream scientific assumption that electromagnetic radiation from such devices could damage cells and tissue only by heating them. But the new research, reported in this week's New Scientist, supports the position of those researchers who argue that handsets can trigger potentially harmful changes to cells irrespective of temperature changes. a.. Prof Rony Seger, a cancer researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and colleagues exposed rat and human cells to electromagnetic radiation at a similar frequency to that emitted by mobiles but at only about one tenth of the power. After just five minutes the researchers identified the production of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) - natural chemicals that stimulate cell division and growth. Cancers develop when the body is unable to prevent excessive growth and division of cells in the wrong place. Prof Seger said yesterday: "The real significance of our findings is that cells are not inert to non-thermal mobile phone radiation. We used radiation power levels that were around one tenth of those produced by a normal mobile. The changes we observed were clearly not caused by heating." The UK has adopted international safety standards for electromagnetic radiation. These state that the amount of energy absorbed from an electric field or radio wave cannot exceed two watts per kilogram (W/kg) when averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Almost all mobile phones emit less that than one W/kg. Graham Philips, of Powerwatch, a lobby group that campaigns on mobile phones, masts and powerlines, said: "Current safety guidelines assume health effects from mobiles can occur only when significant heating of body tissue occurs. "This study shows biological changes in response to low-level mobile phone radiation - something that could have implications for health. Further research is required. However, guidance based purely on thermal effects is clearly out of date." Other scientists pointed out that cell division occurred naturally as tissue grew or rejuvenated within the body, and that the preliminary study did not prove any health effects. Simon Cook, a biochemist at the Babraham Institute near Cambridge, said: "The reason people are intrigued is that this pathway is frequently activated in cancer. "The research is certainly interesting. However, they saw a very transient activation of this pathway, which we know is not sufficient to promote cell division. In cancer you see a much stronger, persistent and sustained activation and even this is just one of many changes required for cancer development." Simon Arthur, from the University of Dundee, said: "The ERK1/2 pathway can be turned on by a huge variety of different things such as natural compounds produced by the body that regulate cell growth, and various forms of environmental and chemical stress. "The research shows the effect on cells in culture in tightly-controlled laboratory conditions. In a living person there are lots of different processes occurring at the same time, so we do not know whether the signal from radio waves would produce a similar measureable effect." The health debate - May 2000: Parents left confused after an official report, chaired by Sir William Stewart, then chairman of the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB), concluded that there were no proven health risks associated with mobile phones but that children should minimise their use as a precaution. - Feb 2001: The Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme (MTHR) set up to encourage further research into potential health hazards of handsets and masts. - May 2001: Research in America suggested children's brains absorbed 50-70 per cent more radiation from handsets than adults because their skulls were smaller. - Oct 2004: Swedish research concluded that those who used mobiles for 10 years were almost twice as likely to develop an acoustic neuroma - a tumour on a nerve connecting the ear to the brain. - Jan 2005: Chairman of the Health Protection Agency advised parents not to allow children under nine to use mobiles because of potential but unproven risks. - Dec 2006: A Danish study of people with brain tumours concluded there were no increased risks for heavy users. - Jan 2007: A study in Finland of people with nervous system tumours called gliomas found no link with mobile use until it separated out long-term, regular users. It was concluded that they were 39 per cent more likely to get a glioma on the side of their head where they held their handset. - Sept 2007: MTHR expected to present final report, including results of several unpublished studies. Prof Lawrie Challis, the chairman, expected to say there are no proven risks from short-term use, but to announce large-scale monitoring of health of handset users over 10 years. http://telegraph.co.uk/core/ Only ten minutes on a mobile could trigger cancer, scientists believeBy DAVID DERBYSHIRE - Last updated at 19:35pm on 30th August 2007 It only takes ten minutes on the phone to trigger dangerous brain chemical changes, scientists say Mobile phones can take as little as ten minutes to trigger changes in the brain associated with cancer, scientists claimed yesterday. They found even low levels of radiation from handsets interfere with the way brain cells divide. Cell division encourages the growth of tumours. Although the researchers did not come up with evidence that mobile phone signals are harmful, the findings suggest they could be. Several major studies have also found no link between mobile use and brain tumours, nor a dramatic rise in cancer rates. But campaigners insist the discovery undermines official advice that the devices are safe. The guidance is based on the assumption that the phones emit too little radiation to heat the brain dangerously. However, the new study by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel suggests "nonthermal" radiation could pose a risk. The Israeli scientists exposed human and rat cells in a laboratory to low-level radiation at 875 megahertz - a similar frequency to the one used in many mobile phones. Although the radiation was far weaker than emissions from a typical handset, it began to switch on a chemical signal inside the cells within ten minutes, the researchers report in the Biochemical Journal. The chemical signals they detected were involved in the division of cells. The researchers say the reaction was not caused by heating and claim they have found a separate way in which mobile phones could damage health. Dr Rony Seger, a co-author of the study, told the magazine New Scientist: "The significance lies in showing cells do react to cellphone radiation in a non-thermal way." Although changes in the chemical pathway seen by the Israeli scientists have been linked to several cancers, the researchers say there was no sign of a cancer-causing effect. Dr Simon Arthur, a health expert at Dundee University, said the effect was 'unlikely to cause cancer'. Dr Dariusz Leszczynski, of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Helsinki, said: "If cell-phone radiation cannot induce biological effects then there will never be any health effects. "On the other hand if we can show this radiation is able to induce biological effects then we have a different story." A major review of mobile phone safety is due to be published by the Health Protection Agency next month. The agency's last major report, in 2004, found no evidence mobiles were a serious health risk. It did, however, caution against excessive use, especially by the young. Dr Michael Clark, a spokesman for the agency, said: "Because of findings like this that pop up from time to time, a precautionary approach is justified." Graham Philips, of campaign group Powerwatch, said: "Safety guidelines assume health effects from mobiles can only occur when significant heating of body tissue occurs. "This study shows biological changes in response to low-level mobile phone radiation - something that could potentially have implications for health. "Further research is required, however guidance based purely on thermal effects is clearly out of date." Mobile Phones 'May Cause Brain Damage' Wednesday, 29th August 2007, 19:25 Category: Healthy Living Mobile phone radiation may cause serious damage to the brain by triggering a chemical reaction that causes cells to divide, say scientists. The finding could be the key to claims that mobiles cause cancer and other health problems. Fears over their use has centred on "brain heating" but Dr Joseph Friedman and colleagues say the real risk is low intensity radiation - known as non-thermal radiation. The Israeli researchers have now identified a mechanism through which the radiation may affect the differentiation and division of cells. There have been suggestions mobile phones can cause brain tumours and Alzheimer's disease but research has been inconclusive and manufacturers take great care to ensure their gadgets don't overheat your brain. No clear mechanism is yet known by which radiation at mobile frequencies and power levels could harm living cells. The frequencies are too low to damage DNA directly and the power of the signal is well below the level that could overheat cells. Previous evidence of non-thermal effects on cells is mixed because it is very difficult to expose cells to radiation without heating them to some degree. So researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot exposed rat and human cell cultures - and also isolated cell membranes - to low-level electromagnetic radiation at 875 megahertz - a similar frequency to those of GSM phone signals. The power of the signal was far lower than the intensity of the typical mobile but after only 10 minutes of exposure the team identified activation of the pathway for ERK1/2 - an enzyme, or protein, that regulates cell differentiation and division. The researchers then inhibited various stages in the pathway upstream of ERK1/2 and concluded the chemical trigger for the enzyme is the release of reactive oxygen species [[FREE RADICALS I.A]]- very small molecules which damage DNA - in the cell membrane. The team, whose findings are published in Biochemical Journal and reported by New Scientist, is confident the effect was not caused by heating. Team member Dr Rony Seger said: "The radiation we used was very low-energy and our sensitive thermostats did not register a change in the temperature of the cell medium. The significance lies in showing that cells do react to cellphone radiation in a non-thermal way." While mutations in ERK pathways have been linked to several cancers experts caution this is not necessarily evidence of a cancer-causing effect. Dr Simon Arthur, of Dundee University, said: "Transient and reversible activation such as this is unlikely to cause cancer." In fact, he says, "transient activation of ERK1/2 occurs frequently in response to a huge variety of signals and is an essential component of many aspects of cellular physiology." Dr Dariusz Leszczynski, of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Helsinki, Finland, also cautions against making the leap between cells and health effects but says they cannot be ruled out. He said: "If cellphone radiation cannot induce biological effects then there will never be any health effects. On the other hand if we can show this radiation is able to induce biological effects then we have a different story. It doesn't automatically mean it will be harmful but we will need to study it further." In 2002 Dr Leszczynski reported cellphone radiation stimulated a stress-related pathway downstream of ERK1/2, but did not investigate what could be triggering it. http://lse.co.uk/ |

Albany, New York (ots/PRNewswire) - Eine internationale Arbeitsgruppe renommierter Wissenschaftler, Forscher und Gesundheitspolitik-Experten (The BioInitiative Working Group) hat ihren Bericht über den Einfluss elektromagnetischer Felder (EMFs) auf die Gesundheit veröffentlicht. Der Bericht äussert schwere Bedenken zur Sicherheit von existierenden öffentlichen Grenzwerten, die regulieren, wie viel EMF von Stromleitungen, Handys und vielen anderen Quellen der EMF-Belastung im täglichen Leben zulässig ist. Der Bericht trägt die wissenschaftlichen Beweise zusammen, die Bedenken über den Einfluss auf die Gesundheit von Menschen erheben, einschliesslich Kinderleukämie (von Stromleitungen und anderen elektrischen Emissionen), Gehirntumoren und Akustikusneurinomen (von Handys und schnurlosen Telefonen) sowie Alzheimerkrankheit. Es liegen Beweise vor, dass EMFs ein Risikofaktor für Krebs sowohl bei Kindern als auch bei Erwachsenen sind. EMFs von Quellen wie Starkstromleitungen, elektrischen Gebäudeverdrahtungen sowie Erdungsvorrichtungen von Gebäuden und Geräten werden mit erhöhten Risiken von Kinderleukämie in Zusammenhang gebracht und können später im Leben die Weichen für Krebs bei Erwachsenen stellen. Der Bericht der BioInitiative, der am Freitag, den 31. August 2007 veröffentlicht werden wird, dokumentiert die wissenschaftlichen Beweise dafür, dass EMF-Emissionen von Stromleitungen jedes Jahr für Hunderte neuer Fälle von Kinderleukämie in den Vereinigten Staaten und anderen Ländern der Welt verantwortlich sind. Wireless-Technologien, die Hochfrequenzstrahlung (HF) zum Versenden von E-Mail-Nachrichten und Sprachkommunikation verwenden, sind tausende Male stärker als die Pegel, die Berichten zufolge Schlafstörungen, Kopfschmerzen, Gedächtnis- und Konzentrationsprobleme sowie andere gesundheitsschädigende Symptome verursachen. Der Gesundheitspolitik Experte und Mitherausgeber des Berichts, Dr. David O. Carpenter, Direktor am Institute for Health and the Environment der University of Albany im US-Bundesstaat New York, erklärte: Dieser Bericht sendet eine Warnung, dass die langfristige Belastung durch bestimmte Arten von EMFs starke negative Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit haben kann. Daher ist nun eine sorgfältige Planung der öffentlichen Gesundheit gefordert, um Krebs und neurologische Erkrankungen zu verhindern, die mit den Emissionen von Stromleitungen und anderen EMF-Quellen in Zusammenhang gebracht werden. Wir müssen die Öffentlichkeit und unsere Entscheidungsträger darüber aufklären, dass es nicht wie gewohnt weitergehen kann. Mitherausgeber Cindy Sage von Sage Associates bestätigte: Experten für Gesundheitspolitik und EMF-Richtlinien haben nun ihre Einschätzung der Beweislast vorgelegt. Die existierenden FCC- und internationalen Emissionsgrenzwerte für EMF- und HF-Strahlung in der Öffentlichkeit und im Arbeitsumfeld schützen die öffentliche Gesundheit nicht in ausreichendem Masse. Basierend auf der Gesamtlast der Beweise sind neue Grenzwerte für die öffentliche Sicherheit und Beschränkungen der weiteren Entwicklung von risikoreichen Technologien angebracht. |

University of Albany, New York- August 31 / Serious Public Health Concerns Raised Over Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) from Power Lines and Cell Phones An international working group of scientists, researchers and public health policy professionals (The BioInitiative Working Group) has released its report on electromagnetic fields (EMF) and health. It raises serious concern about the safety of existing public limits that regulate how much EMF is allowable from power lines, cell phones, and many other sources of EMF exposure in daily life. Electromagnetic radiation from such sources as electric power lines, interior wiring and grounding of buildings and appliances are linked to increased risks for childhood leukemia and may set the stage for adult cancers later in life. A report from the BioInitiative Working Group (bioinitiative.org) released on Friday, August 31st documents the scientific evidence that power line EMF exposure is responsible for hundreds of new cases of childhood leukemia every year in the United States and around the world. The report provides detailed scientific information on health impacts when people are exposed to electromagnetic radiation hundreds or even thousands of times below limits currently established by the Federal Communications Commission (US FCC) and International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection in Europe (ICNIRP). The authors reviewed more than 2000 scientific studies and reviews, and concluded that the existing public safety limits are inadequate to protect public health. From a public health policy standpoint, new public safety limits, and limits on further deployment of risky technologies are warranted based on the total weigh of evidence. The report documents scientific evidence raising worries about childhood leukemia (from power lines and other electrical exposures), brain tumors and acoustic neuromas (from cell and cordless phones) and Alzheimer's disease. There is evidence that EMF is a risk factor for both childhood and adult cancers. Public health expert and co-editor of the Report Dr. David Carpenter, Director, Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany, New York says "this report stands as a wake-up call that long-term exposure to some kinds of EMF may cause serious health effects. Good public health planning is needed now to prevent cancers and neurological diseases linked to exposure to power lines and other sources of EMF. We need to educate people and our decisionmakers that "business as usual" is unacceptable." |

Unfortunately the Telegraph have made a serious error with their title, because that is not what the story is about and it simply, is not true. The story is about electro hypersensitivity and testing at Essex University. EHS volunteers failed to identify exposure to cell phone emissions, but there are good reasons why this happened. If you look at the readers comments below the newspaper article you will find at least five people who have given good reasons why the testing failed. You will also find ignorant comments from stupid people who either do not know what they are talking about or they are deliberately trying to confuse the true situation. The e-mail attachment above - Essex EHS Study.eml, will show you very good reasons why the testing was a failure. The other document that is attached is about the EHS testing that is done at a clinic in Wiesenthal, Germany. I have no reports as to the effectiveness of the clinic's testing procedure.

Leukemia and brain cancer patients under age 15 years, along with controls with respiratory illnesses who were matched to cases on age, sex, and year of diagnosis (1993-1999), were selected from 14 South Korean hospitals using the South Korean Medical Insurance Data System. Diagnoses were confirmed through the South Korean National Cancer Registry. Residential addresses were obtained from medical records. A newly developed prediction program incorporating a geographic information system that was modified by the results of actual measurements was used to estimate radio-frequency radiation (RFR) exposure from 31 amplitude modulation (AM) radio transmitters with a power of 20 kW or more. A total of 1,928 leukemia patients, 956 brain cancer patients, and 3,082 controls were analyzed. Cancer risks were estimated using conditional logistic regression adjusted for residential area, socioeconomic status, and community population density. The odds ratio for all types of leukemia was 2.15 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00, 4.67) among children who resided within 2 km of the nearest AM radio transmitter as compared with those resided more than 20 km from it. For total RFR exposure from all transmitters, odds ratios for lymphocytic leukemia were 1.39 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.86) and 1.59 (95% CI: 1.19, 2.11) for children in the second and third quartiles, respectively, versus the lowest quartile.

| A new study from Israel, a scientific breakthrough Mechanism of a short-term ERK activation by electromagnetic fields at mobile phone From: "Iris Atzmon" <atzmonh <@> bezeqint.net> 27 Apr 2007 Dear all, I had the honour to speak with Joseph Friedman this morning. He is excited about his findings as he made a scientific breakthrough. I have yet to read the full paper but meanwhile he told me these findings are stable, they repeated 20 and 30 times and got the same result and the findings are especially strong because they occured at the level of the membrane and not only cells. They used fibroblasts and cells of the cervix. He said that one thing is clear and this is that "the cells are not indifferent to the radiation". They checked different frequencies but especially 875MHz. This study lasted 8 (!) years. He would be glad to receive reactions from the scientific community. Iris. Biochem J. 2007 Apr 25; [Epub ahead of print] Mechanism of a short-term ERK activation by electromagnetic fields at mobile phone frequency. a.. Friedman J, b.. Kraus S, c.. Hauptman Y, d.. Schiff Y, e.. Seger R. The exposure to non-thermal microwave electromagnetic field generated by mobile phones affects the expression of many proteins. This effect on transcription and protein stability can be mediated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, which serve as central signaling pathways, and govern essentially all stimulated cellular processes. Indeed, a long-term exposure of cells to mobile phone irradiation results in the activation of p38MAPKs as well as the ERK/MAPKs. Here we studied the immediate effect of irradiation on the MAPK cascades, and found that ERKs, but not stress related MAPKs are rapidly activated in response to various frequencies and intensities. Using signaling inhibitors we delineated the mechanism that is involved in this activation. We found that the first step is mediated in the plasma membrane by NADH oxidase, which rapidly generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS then directly stimulate matrix metalloproteinases and allow them to cleave and release heparin binding-EGF. This secreted factor, activates EGF receptor, which in turn further activates the ERK cascade. Thus, this study demonstrates for the first time a detailed molecular mechanism by which electromagnetic irradiation by mobile phones induces the activation of the ERK cascade and thereby induces transcription and other cellular processes.

| Professor Adlkofer of the Verband der Cigarettenindustrie (VdC), the leader of the project REFLEX funded by the European Union on iddd.de since 29.4.2007 in deutsch wichtiger Artikel from old dokument, .doc, 62,2 KB This document reveals a pivotal moment in 1988 when members of the global tobacco industry came together to talk about the difficulties they faced regarding the issue of envirnmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Thanks to a rare voice of reason from within their ranks, they had an opportunity at this moment to decide between staying their present course of global deception on ETS, or deciding to deal with the issue honestly and realistically. It isn't often you get to see a tobacco industry scientist stand up to the rest of the industry and urge them to deal with reality, but we see it in this document. These are privileged and confidential minutes of a joint industry meeting held in London in 1988. Representatives of the European, Japanese, Canadian, the American and United Kingdom tobacco companies were present. Of particular interest are the statements of German cigarette industry scientist, Dr Adlkofer, who questioned the industry's creation of it's own "marketable science." In a stunning departure from Dr. Adlkofer further said that "real science" would be "essential if the industry was to prevail on the ETS issue." Admirably, Dr. Adlkofer proved to be a voice of honesty from within the industry. According to these minutes, Dr. Adlkofer "refused to endorse a situation in which scientific research is guided by public relations needs." Moreover, Dr. Adlkofer questioned the wisdom of the industry's present course on ETS. He urged the industry instead to concentrate on identifying a threshold level for risk of ETS exposure. This controversial suggestion instantly caused a flurry of "widespread disagreement" among the meeting's participants.

It was produced by Canadian researchers from the Department of Anatomy, Queens University, Kinston, Ontario in April 1973. It was produced in collaboration with the Division of Mechanical Engineering, Government of Canada. It is very clear from this report that researchers knew of the human health dangers from microwave radiation at least thirty four years ago and warned the Canadian Government about that danger. The researchers suggested detailed testing to determine safe exposure levels. The document was written years before microwave antennas appeared on every major street corner, along every major highway and in the homes of most citizens. How could our the Canadian government and many other governments go so wrong, when information such as this was available? The references are of special interest because show significant EMR research that was completed prior to 1973. Martin |

| Electrosensitive patients showed reduced intracortical facilitation as compared to both control groups, while motor thresholds and intracortical inhibition were unaffected. 22.3.2007 From Mona Nilsson J Psychosom Res. 2007 Mar;62(3):283-8. Altered cortical excitability in subjectively electrosensitive patients: Results of a pilot study. Landgrebe M, Hauser S, Langguth B, Frick U, Hajak G, Eichhammer P. Department of Psychiatry, Psychosomatics, and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany. OBJECTIVE: Hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields is frequently claimed to be linked to a variety of unspecific somatic and/or neuropsychological complaints. Whereas provocation studies often failed to demonstrate a causal relationship between electromagnetic field exposure and symptom formation, neurophysiological examinations highlight baseline deviations in people claiming to be electrosensitive. METHODS: To elucidate a potential role of dysfunctional cortical regulations in mediating hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields, cortical excitability parameters were measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation in subjectively electrosensitive patients (n=23) and two control groups (n=49) differing in their level of unspecific health complaints. RESULTS: Electrosensitive patients showed reduced intracortical facilitation as compared to both control groups, while motor thresholds and intracortical inhibition were unaffected. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study gives additional evidence that altered central nervous system function may account for symptom manifestation in subjectively electrosensitive patients as has been postulated for several chronic multisymptom illnesses sharing a similar clustering of symptoms.

The results were based on answers from 542 (92%) cases with seminoma, 346 (89%) with non-seminoma, and 870 (89%) controls. Regarding seminoma the use of analog cellular phones gave odds ratio (OR) 1/4 1.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1/4 0.9-1.6, digital phones OR 1/4 1.3, CI 1/4 0.9-1.8, and cordless phones OR 1/4 1.1, CI 1/4 0.8-1.5. The corresponding results for nonseminoma were OR 1/4 0.7, CI 1/4 0.5-1.1, OR 1/4 0.9, CI 1/4 0.6-1.4, and OR 1/4 1.0, CI 1/4 0.7-1.4, respectively. There was no dose-response effect and OR did not increase with latency time. No association was found with place of keeping the mobile phone during standby, such as trousers pocket. Cryptorchidism was associated both with seminoma (OR 1/4 4.2, CI 1/4 2.7-6.5) and non-seminoma (OR 1/4 3.3, CI 1/4 2.0-5.6), but no interaction was found with the use of cellular or cordless telephones. see more from Hardell: Tumour risk associated with use of cellular telephones or cordless desktop telephones | Pooled analysis of two case-control studies on the use of cellular and cordless telephones and the risk of benign brain tumours diagnosed during 1997-2003. | Pooled analysis Update | The paper by Hardell, Richter et al makes headlines: Industry 'paid top cancer expert' |

The potential for distorting the epidemiological assessments of hazard and risk through paid consultants, pretending to be independent, is not exclusive to the tobacco industry. The shortfalls cited in this article illustrate the need for improved transparency, regulations that will help curb abuses as well as instruments for control and enforcement against abuses. end quote. The Swedish professor mentioned in the abstract is Ragnar Rylander, whose case has been quite thoroughly investigated in Sweden and Geneva and is widely publicized on the Web in the main European languages. The universities of Gothenburg and Geneva have been somewhat defensive during this process. As we know, cases of unethical behaviour in academia would often go unnoticed if it were not for the efforts of investigative journalists. more |

Our present results suggest that the decrease in oviposition previously reported, is due to degeneration of large numbers of egg chambers after DNA fragmentation of their constituent cells, induced by both types of mobile telephony radiation. Induced cell death is recorded for the first time, in all types of cells constituting an egg chamber (follicle cells, nurse cells and the oocyte) and in all stages of the early and mid- oogenesis, from germarium to stage 10, during which programmed cell death does not physiologically occur. more |

El-Batanouny, E. Salem Community, Environmental and Occupational Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufiya University, Shebin El-Kom, Egypt Received 20 October 2005; accepted 18 July 2006 Results: The prevalence of neuropsychiatric complaints as headache (23.5%), memory changes (28.2%), dizziness (18.8%), tremors (9.4%), depressive symptoms (21.7%), and sleep disturbance (23.5%) were significantly higher among exposed inhabitants than controls: (10%), (5%), (5%), (0%), (8.8%) and (10%), respectively (P < 0.05). The NBTB indicated that the exposed inhabitants exhibited a significantly lower performance than controls in one of the tests of attention and short-term auditory memory [Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT)]. Also, the inhabitants opposite the station exhibited a lower performance in the problem solving test (block design) than those under the station. All inhabitants exhibited a better performance in the two tests of visuomotor speed (Digit symbol and Trailmaking B) and one test of attention (Trailmaking A) than controls. The last available measures of RFR emitted from the first mobile phone base station antennas in Menoufiya governorate were less than the allowable standard level. Conclusions and recommendations: Inhabitants living nearby mobile phone base stations are at risk for developing neuropsychiatric problems and some changes in the performance of neurobehavioral functions either by facilitation or inhibition. So, revision of standard guidelines for public exposure to RER from mobile phone base station antennas and using of NBTB for regular assessment and early detection of biological effects among inhabitants around the stations are recommended. more umtsno: see also Association of mobile phone radiation with fatigue, headache, dizziness, tension and sleep disturbance in Saudi population |

Rubins et al provocation study- further comments April 21, 2006 From: "Clas Tegenfeldt" tegen von bemi.se A dual band GMSM telephone can have an transmitter power of 0,002 W up to 2 Watts. The SAR of some GSM telephones reach 2 W/kg, if we assume this happens when the phone transmitts 2 W then we would have 0,002 W/kg when the phone transmitts at its lowest level. Thus the sham exposure in the report is about the same as when someone is talking in a GSM telephone near a basestation (thus the lowest transmitted power). This happens for indoor GSM systems as well as macro cells (if you are some hundred meters from the basestation). The difference reported in the study is 1,4 W/kg and 0,002 W/kg for exposure and sham respectively, that is less than a factor of thousand I used above. It is therefore HIGHLY questionable that the SHAM exposure can be regarded as such! If there would be a clear cut threshold for symptoms provoked by the exposure that happened to be between the 0,002 and 2 W/kg exposures then - maybe - the study would have given some information. more |

This is not the definition of electromagnetic (hyper)sensitivity (EHS). EHS is a condition in which symptoms are reported as related to and attributed to exposure to electromagnetic fields (WHO factsheet 296, to be found exhere.)

TenneT (the Transmission System Operator (TSO) in the Netherlands) has introduced a new high voltage system: http://tennet.nl/english/news/archive/8693.asp#0 The magnetic fields by the Wintrack powerline system are decreased, because the lines are always six in a perfect circle (before, they were in triangles). The magnetic fields neutralize each other extensively. Moreover there are conductors in the ground, I don't understand exactly how, I think they take stray fields away.

| Das Verhältnis zwischen Leukämie-Risiko bei Kindern und Hochspannungsleitungen EN Kinder, die in der Nähe von Hochspannungsleitungen aufwachsen, erkranken häufiger an Leukämie als Kinder, deren Zuhause weit von Starkstromleitungen entfernt liegt. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommen Wissenschaftler der Universität Oxford in der Studie "Childhood cancer in relation to distance from high voltage power lines in England and Wales: a case-control study". Die Wissenschaftler hatten dazu die Wohnorte von 29.000 krebskranken Kindern - 9700 mit Leukämie auf der Insel untersucht und festgestellt, daß überdurchschnittlich viele an Leukämie erkrankte Kinder in der Nähe von Überlandleitungen leben. Kinder, die weniger als 200 Meter entfernt von einer Hochspannungsleitung auf die Welt kommen, haben demnach ein 69 Prozent höheres Risiko an Leukämie zu erkranken als Kinder, die mehr als 600 Meter entfernt von einem Starkstrommasten geboren wurden. Leben Kinder in einer räumlichen Entfernung von 200 bis 600 Metern zu den Überlandleitungen, ist das Risiko einer Leukämie-Erkrankung gegenüber der weiter entfernt wohnenden Vergleichsgruppe laut Studie um 23 Prozent größer. Für andere Krebsformen wurde kein erhöhtes Risiko gefunden. Die Autoren, die ihre epidemiologischen Erkenntnisse jetzt in der Fachzeitschrift British Medical Journal veröffentlicht haben, weisen allerdings darauf hin, daß es für die statistischen Daten derzeit keine akzeptierten biologischen Wirkmechanismen gebe. 9.6.05, Anm. von Krzysztof Puzyna (umtsno) Es gibt verschiedene Theorien über die Wirkung der elektromagnetischen Felder auf Lebewesen: Manczarski - Plasma-Theorie, die Tesla-Resonanz-Theorie oder die Studie von Bo Sernelius. siehe auch die Erklärung von Dr. Hyland während der Konferenz der Whistleblower am 07.09.2003 in Starnbek Ihrer gemeinsame Nenner ist, daß die elektromagnetischen Felder in der Milliarden mal kleineren Stärke als die Grenzwerte der ICNIRP-Maffia ( und durch diese Maffia unterwanderte WHO-Organisation in Genf) die lebenden Organismen schädigen. Keine dieser Theorien hat jemals eine Chance auf Anerkennung solange die Verbrecher und Lobbyisten von Vodafone bei WHO in Genf ihr Unwesen treiben dürfen.

| Association between childhood leukaemia and high voltage power lines DE Conclusions There is an association between childhood leukaemia and proximity of home address at birth to high voltage power lines, and the apparent risk extends to a greater distance than would have been expected from previous studies. About 4% of children in England and Wales live within 600 m of high voltage lines at birth. If the association is causal, about 1% of childhood leukaemia in England and Wales would be attributable to these lines, though this estimate has considerable statistical uncertainty. There is no accepted biological mechanism to explain the epidemiological results; indeed, the relation may be due to chance or confounding. more ex more see also ex Residential and Occupational Exposures to 50-Hz Magnetic Fields and Breast Cancer in Women see Advice to Governments from Repacholi-WHO |

| Adlkofer's study from REFLEX DE 17.05.2005 Non-thermal DNA breakage by mobile-phone radiation (1800MHz) in human fibroblasts and in transformed GFSH-R17 rat granulosa cells in vitro. Diem E, Schwarz C, Adlkofer F, Jahn O, Rudiger H. Division of Occupational Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, Waehringer Guertel 18-20, Vienna 1090, Austria. Cultured human diploid fibroblasts and cultured rat granulosa cells were exposed to intermittent and continuous radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) used in mobile phones, with different specific absorption rates (SAR) and different mobile-phone modulations. DNA strand breaks were determined by means of the alkaline and neutral comet assay. RF-EMF exposure (1800MHz; SAR 1.2 or 2W/kg; different modulations; during 4, 16 and 24h; intermittent 5min on/10min off or continuous wave) induced DNA single- and double-strand breaks. Effects occurred after 16h exposure in both cell types and after different mobile-phone modulations. The intermittent exposure showed a stronger effect in the comet assay than continuous exposure. Therefore we conclude that the induced DNA damage cannot be based on thermal effects. exAbstract Weitere Teilstudie im Rahmen des Europäischen REFLEX-Projekts.EN Nicht-thermische DNA-Brüche durch Mobilfunkstrahlung (1800 MHz) in menschlichen Fibroblasten und in veränderten GFSH-R17 Granulosazellen von Ratten in vitro Studie Abstract: Rattenkulturzellen (diploide Fibroblasten und Granulosazellen) wurden in intermittierender und kontinuierlicher hochfrequenter elektromagnetischer Strahlung (RF-EMF) mit verschiedenen spezifischen Absorptionsraten (SAR) und unterschiedlichen mobilfunktypischen Modulationen exponiert. Die Brüche der DNA-Stränge wurden mit Hilfe der alkalischen und neutralen Comet Assay-Methode bestimmt. Die RF-EMF Exposition (1800MHz; SAR 1,2 oder 2W/kg; unterschiedliche Modulationen; während 4, 16 und 24 Stunden; intermittierend 5 min an / 10 min aus oder kontinuierliche Wellen) bewirkte DNA Einzel- und Doppelstrangbrüche. Diese Wirkungen traten nach einer Exposition von 16 Stunden in beiden Zelltypen auf und nach unterschiedlichen Mobilfunkmodulationen. Die intermittierende Exposition zeigte stärkere Auswirkungen beim Comet Assay als die kontinuierliche Exposition, woraus die Autoren schließen,daß die Schädigung der DNA nicht durch thermische Effekte verursacht wird.

Nach dreiwöchiger täglicher Exposition (1, 2, 3 und 8 Stunden) wurde die Menge des Chlorophylls gemessen. Dabei wurde festgestellt, daß die Menge an Chlorophyll-a als auch die an Chlorophyll-b gesunken war, außer bei einer Expositionszeit von zwei Stunden, bei der eine beträchtliche Steigerung zu verzeichnen war. Der Versuch zeigte, daß das Verhältnis der beiden Haupttypen des Chlorophylls logarithmisch abnahm in dem Maße wie die tägliche Exposition andauerte.

| Cell phone base stations change brain currents and cause unwellness DE Research in Austria The radiation of a cell phone base station at a distance of 80 metres causes significant changes of the electrical currents in the brains of testees (measured by electroencefalogram, EEG). All the testees said they felt unwell during the radiation, some of them seriously. That is the result of an investigation by a team of Austrian scientists. They measured alpha 1 (8 to 10 Hz), alpha 2 (10 to 12 Hz) and beta waves (13 to 20 Hz). A small density of GSM 900 and GSM 1800 radiation already caused several significant changes in these three frequency ranges. This means the body is stressed - temporarily this may have some positive effect, in the long run however stress certainly reduces the quality of life, capacity for work and state of health. more |
