Fresh fears over mobile phone risk to kids health

Starmail — 2008-05-03T11:33:00Z

May 2 2008 by Gregory Tindle, Western Mail

NEW research has triggered fresh fears for the long-term health of children and teenagers who use mobile phones today.

The study warns that the risks are little lower than those alcohol and tobacco pose to youngsters health and could also last a lifetime.

It suggests mobile phone use exposes youngsters to the risk of early memory loss and sleep problems, then brain tumours in their 20s followed by the early onset of dementia in their 50s.

Welsh experts claim this latest evidence should force the Government to update and strengthen its warnings on phone use.

Fight against mast

Starmail — 2007-04-20T11:23:00Z

By Alli Pyrah

CONCERNED campaigners are fighting plans for a second T-mobile phone mast in the middle of a Cashes Green residential area, near a primary school.

Phone company T-mobile has sent leaflets to some residents, saying it will apply for planning permission to build the mast on the corner of Springfield Road and Sunny Hill with the next fortnight.

There is already a Hutchinson 3G mast on the roundabout at the bottom of Springfield Road, just 20 metres away from the proposed site, which was built two years ago despite vigorous opposition from Cashes Green residents.

Residents and safety campaigners say that one mast is enough, and want local politicians to refuse the application.

Concerned resident Caroline Wilmot, of Springfield Road, is worried that many residents were unaware of the plans.

"We already have one mast," said Miss Wilmot, 26.

"People can't believe that we are going to have another one."

And Lynne Edmunds, the Gloucestershire representative of safety campaign group Mast Sanity, urged residents to write to T-mobile and the council.

"After the strong fight to stop the existing mast going up in the middle of a densely populated part of Cashes Green, extremely close to a primary school, these operators must make themselves aware of how much community opposition there is to any possible health risks," she said.

"As did the operators pushing for a mobile phone mast in Stonehouse recently, they should look for a site further flung away from homes and schools.

"The amount of scientific evidence pointing to health dangers, particularly to children, is growing very rapidly."

A spokesman for T-Mobile said: "There are 60 million mobile phones in the country and T-Mobile is seeking to install this mast in order to enhance and improve service to customers.

"Without a mobile base station, mobile phones simply do not work.

"All our installations conform to rigorous national and international health and safety guidelines."

I am appalled that the mobile operators are still siting their harmful, electro magnetic radiation emitting phone masts near schools and housing. There are over one thousand independent research studies proving that mast radiation caused ill health and cancers. This week the national papers reported that T-MOBILE has been accused of burying a scientific report it commissioned that concluded handsets and masts contribute to cancer and genetic damage. The report argued that officially recommended limits on radiation exposure should be cut to 1/1000th of those in force. The suggestion has not been taken up by the company or by regulators. Campaigners claimed T-Mobiles handling of the report was part of a wider pattern of behaviour by the industry in its efforts to keep discussion of the health risks off the agenda. The idea that unelected bodies (the mobile phone companies) have a right to expose people to this proven risk, amounts to enrolling the population in a giant biological experiment without their consent. Considering that children, the most vulnerable of all, are included in this experiment is a national disgrace. It is shameful that their interests are disregarded so cynically in the pursuit of profit.

If there was a scientific risk I'm sure the government will not allow the population to be exposed to any harmful elements. It leads me to think that the attention seeking mast focus groups are ironically the only part of the mast debate that actually causes health issues by stressing out communities into thinking there is cause for alarm by their constant potentially-libelous claims. Mr Elliott claims there are a 1,000 research papers, I am sure the Government has 10,000 papers stating the opposite? We must learn to evolve as communities and accept that infrastructure changes with time. If we put a stop to a mobile phone mast due to potential 'risks' then we must also carry on this trend and put a moratorium on roads, rail, aeroplanes and any other form of infrastructure that has an element of risk. In essence, society should stand still as everything has a risk attached to it - even eating a Mars Bar!

Oh dear James you have a lot to learn about government. The government receive £10 billion per annum in taxes from the phone operators. It has taken our government 50 years to finally take measurers to protect us from smokers. Asbestosis, over head power lines, thalidomide, CJD together with smoking, how long did successive governments hide the truth from the general poulation despite repeated research warning them of the dangers? Money and big business will always preside over people's health. Eight years ago they sold the airwave licences to the phone operators for £23 billion without proof that this technology was safe. Oh and by the way the only research which alleges that this technology is safe is that funded by the phone operators. But as we have seen this week, even their own vested interested research proves that it causes cancer! The risk is not "potential" it is actual! And no, the government has not carried out ANY research at all into the long term safety of this technology. But don't take my word for it, look at the Powerwatch and Mast Sanity websites. The cat is now out of the bag on this. The ill health and cancer clusters in the vicinity of phone masts can no longer be ignored.

The article does say that the campaign is headed by "Lynne Edmunds, the Gloucestershire representative of safety campaign group Mast Sanity" so someone should have her contact details.

A current cancer cluster not on the list is one at Berkeley Flats, Staple Hill, Bristol. I don't have any contact details of the residents but the councillor involved is Shirley Potts, email address: shirley.potts @southglos.gov.uk. 2 masts already sited on top of the flats with about 7 cancer cases appearing after they were sited. They now want to site another mast on top of the flats.

Mobile phones: an inconvenient truth

Starmail — 2007-04-03T14:18:00Z

The excellent Worthing activist newsletter the Portkbolter has just published my letter as below.

Gary

Mobile phones - an inconvenient truth

WE ALL know that 'passive smoking' is bad for you - that's why lighting up is on the no-no list everywhere you go nowadays. But whayt about 'passive' radiation from other people's mobile phones and the masts which are springinmg up all over the porkin' place? Nothing to worry about? A stupid fuss about nothing?

Not according to Robert Kane, PhD, former Motorola Senior Research Scientist, who has gone public with his conscience: He says: "Recent research indicates that even short-term exposure to radiation power densities emanating from a nearby cell phone suffices to modify brainwaves, affect short-term memory, and modify an individual's ability to perform physical tasks such as driving an automobile."

"Every time someone in an automobile next to you activates his cell phone or someone at a table in a restaurant near to you activates her phone, your brain is being irradiated. The cell phone users also include everyone nearby by bringing everyone into the high-risk pool".

"The available research indicates that the operation of a nearby cell phone exposes a non-user to radiation, some of which is deposited into the brain of the non-user, at levels higher than necessary to elicit undesirable biological effects even though the phone may be more than ten feet away from him"

"After that cell phone user departs, he leaves behind, within the brain of every nearby person, the residual effects and damage. These are effects and damage known to the scientific community but not acknowledged by the industry placing their products into the commercial stream"

This ties in with the views of a group of European Doctors who in 2002 launched a global petition entitled "The Freiburger Appeal".

They wrote that they had observed "a dramatic rise in serious and chronic diseases" including extreme fluctuations in blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes among younger people, brain degeneration, leukaemia and brain tumours.

They put this down to "installation of a mobile telephone sending station in the near vicinity, intensive mobile telephone use, and installation of a Digital Cordless (DECT) phone at home or in the neighbourhood"

In other words if we think we can carry on like this, we all need our heads examining - in more ways than one!

My comments to the Mail online

Perhaps Prof Challis should read Dr George Carlo's book. "Cell phones, invisible hazards in the wireless age" [ http://omega.twoday.net/stories/418854/ ]. It details the results of his 5 year investigation heading up the US phone industry research programme between 1993 and 1999. He had 200 scientists working for him and completed 56 studies at a cost of $28 million. His book details the industry's reaction when they found evidence for genetic damage and an increase in risk of brain tumour as a result of mobile phone use. Dr Carlo also advocates that wireless computers whould not be put in schools because of the risk of genetic damage to children from the microwave radiation constantly emitted by the laptops and wireless access points.

BEWARE THE HEADLINES ONCE AGAIN

There has been an interesting article circulating in the past couple of days
( http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2556768,00.html -- Cancer study ordered into mobile phones http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2556768,00.html ). And once again, what you read on the surface betrays what is below the surface.

When you read the article behind this link, please understand that the mobile phone industry is behind it. In the UK, the mobile phone mast issue is gaining a great deal of momentum. Whenever that happens, the political solution involves putting some money into a study -- a study that will take years to complete -- to assuage the public concern. The tactic is part of the industry's overall strategy to "buy time". With the mobile phone health risk issue, this goes back to the very early days of the WTR when the industry funded our research program, in their mind, "as an insurance policy to buy time". With research going on, the argument can be made in public that the "jury is still out" and from the industry's perspective, "the heat is off". In this case, note specifically that the studies mentioned at the end of the article -- a very selected few from the numerous studies now in the open literature -- are only the studies funded by the industry, with results that mute the present day concern. Don't fall for it.

More research is always a good thing. But, research does not help people who are being exposed to dangerous ICRW (Information-Carrying Radio Waves) today. Research always should be joined with surveillance of high risk groups and the implementation of primary, secondary and tertiary interventions in those high risk groups as appropriate.

DID THIS PHONE MAST GIVE ME CANCER?

10:28 - 08 November 2006

Families living within feet of a phone mast say it is to blame for 27 deaths and illnesses in their streets in the past 13 years.

Now residents are spending hundreds of pounds trying to protect themselves from radiation.

They are lining their lofts with tin foil, putting up metal mesh curtains and installing specialist windows.

They want the 82-foot Orange-owned antenna in Shooters Hill, Stoke-on-Trent - which collects and distributes signals from other masts - to be torn down.

They say the microwaves from the mast are potentially lethal.

Mother-of-two Karen Owens, pictured, aged 40, who lives 300 feet from the mast, has just had a mastectomy after contracting cancer.

She said: "Since I was diagnosed it has always been in the back of my mind that it could be connected to the mast."

Protesters have recorded brain haemorrhages, tumours and cancers in the area, as well as strokes, irregular heartbeats, epilepsy, high blood pressure and sleeplessness.

Some medical experts believe these conditions could be linked to certain types of microwave radiation.

Chris Cornes has used about 50 rolls of tin foil to line her loft and bed headboard after monitoring equipment showed one side of her home has much more microwave radiation than the other.

Mrs Cornes, whose husband died from cancer four years ago, said: "We only use the lounge at the opposite end of the house.

"When you hear that meter giving out all that noise because of the microwaves it is detecting, what would you do?

"When you sit on my grass you also get all the rays, so we have to avoid that as well. I think it's disgusting we have to live like this. The mast should come down."

Jean Hopkins, who lives in Cherrywood Grove, was suffering from headaches until spending £1,000 on precautions.

Mrs Hopkins said: "We've lined the loft with 40 or 50 rolls of aluminum foil.

"Initially we put it over the windows at the back because we thought it was the only way of stopping the radiation.

"We then bought these special metal mesh curtains which cost about £40 a square metre and we have those up at all six of the back windows. They are drawn all the time."

Mrs Hopkins added: "I'm not a hypochondriac and I don't make things up. Residents shouldn't have to live like this. It destroys your quality of life."

Pensioner Alfred Oakes, who lives close to the mast on Sandon Road, believes his skin cancer could be connected to waves from the mast. He said: "I think the mast should be taken down."

Should the mast be removed?

Global warming through use of mobiles

Starmail — 2006-11-02T14:01:00Z

I am very surprised to note that there has been no mention of the recent french study, which used a satellite to measure the heating effetcs in the ionosphere due to e-smog in the atmosphere. I have tried twice to send the information, firstly through a link to the website and second as an attachment. In both cases the server rejected them. However, the information can be found on Next-Up News and it is under the DEMETER satellite, which I am sure a search of the Next-Up site will bring up the required news. They claim that this is the major cause of global warming and would certainly account for the fact that researchers looking into the greenhouse gas effects cannot explain why the rate of global warming is exceeding their predictions when looking into the effects of greenhouse gases.

We are all concentrating on the potential adverse health effects from exposure to microwaves, but here is another very important effect. Global warming is currently high on the agenda for most governments, who are stressing the need for us all to conserve energy and thus reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. If the french studies are correct, then all efforts to reduce carbon emissions could be in vain as the heating effect from microwaves and EMF's in the atmosphere would continue the heating process.

Kind regards to all,
