Sensation, Österreich: Handywarnung in allen Medien

Die Warnung der Wiener Ärztekammer, siehe unten, ist ein wichtiger Schritt .

Die Tatsache aber, dass diese Meldung in allen österreichischen Medien, incl. der Hauptnachrichtenblöcke in Radio und TV, dazu auf beinahe allen Titelseiten prominent veröffentlicht wurde, ist als Sensation zu werten.

Wird hier eine Wende eingeläutet? Auf jeden Fall kann niemand aus Politik und Wirtschaft daran vorbei und an der panischen Reaktion der Betreibervertreter ist deutlich die Hilflosigkeit abzulesen.

mit freundlichen Grüßen

Handys für Kinder riskant

06.08.2005

Eine neue Studie der EU gibt Anlass zu begründeter Sorge: Mobilfunkstrahlen verändern die Erbsubstanz. Die Wiener Ärztekammer rät: Eltern sollen Kinder schützen.

Wien (SN, APA). Die Wiener Ärztekammer hat am Freitag davor gewarnt, vor allem Kinder übermäßig viel mit dem Handy telefonieren zu lassen. Denn laut einer jüngsten Untersuchung - der so genannten Reflex-Studie - sei eindeutig ein gentoxischer Effekt von Mobilfunkstrahlen nachgewiesen worden. Als erste Konsequenz daraus hat die Ärztekammer einen Katalog mit Verhaltensregeln erstellt.

Die von der EU geförderte "Reflex-Studie" wurde laut Ärztekammer an mehreren bedeutenden Forschungszentren in Europa - unter anderem am Wiener AKH - durchgeführt. Dabei wurde die so genannte Mutagenität elektromagnetischer Felder überprüft. Das heißt: Man untersuchte Veränderungen in der Erbsubstanz, die der mögliche Beginn einer Tumorerkrankung sein können.

Ergebnisse: Es gibt laut Ärztekammer tatsächlich einen derartigen gentoxischen Effekt auf menschliche Zellkulturen von Mobilfunkstrahlen in der Stärke, wie sie von jedem GSM-Handy erzeugt werden. "Würden Medikamente dieselben Prüfergebnisse wie Handystrahlen liefern, müsste man sie sofort vom Markt nehmen", sagt Erik Huber, Referent für Umweltmedizin der Ärztekammer für Wien. Die Wiener Ärztekammer sieht sich daher veranlasst, die Bevölkerung zu mehr Sorgfalt im Umgang mit Mobilfunkgeräten insbesondere bei Kindern aufzurufen. Huber: "Wir müssen davon ausgehen, dass Kinder gegenüber hochfrequenter Strahlung empfindlicher sind als Erwachsene, da der Schädelknochen dünner ist und die Zellen eine erhöhte Teilungsrate, in der sie auf gentoxische Effekte empfindlicher sind, aufweisen."

Empfohlen wird unter anderem - und dies nicht nur Kindern: Telefoniert werden sollte nur in dringenden Fällen und dann nur kurz. Das Tragen von Handys in der Hosentasche - und auch SMS-Versenden unter der Schulbank - könne die Fruchtbarkeit beeinträchtigen und sollte überhaupt unterlassen werden.

Weiters sollten Handys laut Ärztekammer nachts ausgeschaltet werden. Falls sie eingeschaltet bleiben, sollten sie nicht in Kopfnähe aufbewahrt werden. Abgeraten wird außerdem vom Spielen am Handy.

Lethal bombings over the past few weeks, including a roadside bomb that claimed the lives of 14 Marines on Wednesday, have made the situation look even bleaker than US military experts suggest it is.

ONE OF the great mysteries of the Bush War in Iraq has been the incredible acquiescence of the American people to the unfolding tragedy. There is a seemingly passive acceptance of the conflict-without-end. Some have called the unquestioning silent assent obscene.

Bush's dirty war is having a counterproductive effect, just as dirty wars did in Vietnam, Algeria and Argentina. For every militant abused or killed, a community of like-minded militants is inspired. Hatred, resentment and vengeance are the natural outcomes. There has never been a victory through a dirty war over these forces.

I feel these programs are destructive to your child especially when they are targeted at children already very self image aware. PeTA uses Milk as the excuse for everything from gas to Type 1 diabetes and uses images of children to scare children. This type of trauma can effect a child in ways PeTA chooses to ignore, like the reasons given by Psychologists and school officials.

PeTA has taken a 29 million dollar a year budget gifted to save animals not kill them nor to scare our children. These tactics are wrong and require intervention for PeTA to continue to get a tax exemption as well as review of there "adoption" and euthanasia program.

Peace Bill

There has been much talk in alternative news about electromagnetic weapons and weather alteration devices becoming a reality or indeed, are already a reality.

http://unslaver.com/forum/index.php/topic,286.0.html

The theory seems too science fiction like for most people who have cursed any number of deity through the ages over the rains or lack thereof.

Still, there's mounting evidence that 'something' about the subject is true. Otherwise there's going to be a lot of disappointed conspiracy theorists. The unproven truth is that the first common mankind will know is when he finds himself held hostage by a rogue state that has against all odds learned to literally control the weather and - we'll do as we're told.

It's pretty scary. You can either dehydrate or drown, freeze or snap bake. Your crops will die of either too much or too little water. From one week to the next you might have to look out your front door to find out which shoes to wear!

The civilian outcome is pretty darned frightening - when those dams run to critical and no river is running for hundreds of miles... or flooding unstoppably. The military application is very neat when it is a precision event - mud will eventually slow down even the most determined of tracked war machines and; fog slows down aircraft substantially. A snow storm will stop unprepared soldiers fairly rapidly as well.

Certainly, it'd be more useful as a shield against attack rather than a weapon of attack. You'd think so, anyhow.

Leserbrief im HANAUER ANZEIGER 6.08.2005

Zum Artikel „Keine Alternative zum Standort“ über den Mobilfunksender in Rodenbach (HA vom 26. Juli):

Wirklich keine Alternative zum Standort?

Der Fall Niederrodenbach zeigt aufs Neue, dass Menschen ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste dem Diktat der Ökonomie unterworfen werden.

Die abstruse Schuldzurückweisung von T-Mobile ist nichts als Erbsenzählerei.

Unabhängig vom Verlauf des Dialoges zwischen Bürgermeister Klaus Schejna und dem Betreiber heißt es in der “Freiwilligen Vereinbarung zwischen Betreibern und den kommunalen Spitzenverbänden“, „dass auch bei umstrittenen Standorten die Belange und Interessen beider Seiten möglichst weitgehend berücksichtigt werden sollen.“

Das angestrebte "partnerschaftliche Zusammenwirken", welches zur Konfliktminimierung Priorität haben sollte, wurde seitens des Betreibers, wie fast überwiegend, auch in Niederrodenbach unterlaufen. Die rücksichtslose Vorgehensweise, die Installation gegen den Gemeindewillen, bestätigt ein weiteres mal, was von der angeblichen Seriosität der Betreiber zu halten ist. Dass T-Mobile die Teilnahme an einem runden Tisch wegen fehlendem politischen Mandat der Bürgerinitiative verweigert, obwohl diese von den Mandatsträgern miteinbezogen wurde, spricht für eine lediglich vorgetäuschte Bereitschaft zum Einlenken. Wurde dabei nicht in Wirklichkeit den unbequemen Argumenten der engagierten Bürger aus dem Weg gegangen?

Jedenfalls verdient das Bemühen des Bürgermeisters um Risikominimierung Respekt, der ja zu Recht gegen die Anlage im Wohngebiet votiert. Warum haben die Betreiber nicht externe neutrale Berater/Planungsunternehmen zu Rate gezogen, um eine Einigung für ein gesundheitsverträgliches Mobilfunkkonzept zu erreichen?

Diese Art der Durchsetzung monetärer Konzerninteressen belegt die Verwilderung demokratischer Kultur und macht ein weiteres Mal die Verabschiedung von unseren Grundwerten und die faktische Ausbürgerung gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung bewusst.

Erste Bürgerinformation im Moritzburger Gemeindeblatt 1-08-05

„Leben“ im Hauptstrahl von Mobilfunksendeanlagen für GSM und UMTS

Mit Mobilfunk hatte ich mich bisher nicht beschäftigt. Hätte mir vor einem halben Jahr jemand gesagt, dass bei dieser Technik mit Mikrowellenstrahlung gearbeitet wird, hätte ich ihm wahrscheinlich nicht geglaubt.

Die damalige Installation der Antennen auf dem Gebäude der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Moritzburg registrierte ich zwar, dachte mir aber nichts dabei. Es erfolgte auch keinerlei öffentliche Information von Seiten der Betreiber dieser Anlagen.

Seit fünf Monaten hat unsere Tochter regelmäßige Kopfschmerzen morgens nach dem Aufstehen. Anfangs verschwanden diese Schmerzen im Verlaufe des Vormittags, später hielten sie teilweise über den ganzen Tag an. Dazu kam allgemeines Unwohlsein, eine blasse Hautfarbe und in letzter Zeit Ohrenschmerzen. Mehrere Arztbesuche brachten kein Ergebnis. EEG war ebenfalls ohne Befund. Man tippte von ärztlicher Seite zuletzt auf Migräne.

Damit wollten wir uns aber nicht abfinden und so fiel mein Verdacht als nächstes auf die Mobilfunkmasten vor unserer Haustür. Ich informierte mich über Messgeräte für Elektrosmog, konnte mich dann aber aufgrund des hohen Preisniveaus dieser Geräte nicht zum Kauf eines solchen entscheiden. Ich schob das Problem vor mir her und so verging einige Zeit. Vor zwei Wochen klingelte mein Nachbar und bot uns eine Hochfrequenzmessung in unserem Wohnhaus an, die wir gerne annahmen. Er hatte sich aufgrund gesundheitlicher Probleme unabhängig von uns schon länger mit der Mobilfunkstrahlung der Sendemasten beschäftigt. Die Messwerte waren extrem hoch – im Kinderzimmer 750 µW/m², im Wohnzimmer sogar 2000 µW/m².

Vor wenigen Tagen besuchte ich einen sehr interessanten Vortrag einer Bamberger Ärztin zum Thema „Gesundheitsschäden unter Einfluss hochfrequenter elektromagnetischer Felder“. Besonders betroffen machten mich die Ausführungen über die Empfindlichkeit des Körpers von Kindern und Jugendlichen gegenüber der Mobilfunkstrahlung.

Die Anwesenden, Ärzte, Vertreter verschiedener Bürgerinitiativen aus Sachsen und die Mobilfunkgeschädigten waren bei der anschließenden Diskussion alle der gleichen Meinung:

1. Mobilfunksendemasten müssen aus Wohngebieten verbannt werden. Sie gehören nicht in die Nähe von Wohnhäusern, Schulen und Kindergärten.

2. Die Sendeleistung muss drastisch reduziert werden (optimale Funktion von D/E – Netz Handys ist gewährleistet bei 0,001 µW/m²).

3. Gemeinden müssen ein Genehmigungsrecht bei der Aufstellung von Sendeanlagen erhalten.

Zur Zeit gibt es Mobilfunkstationen auf dem Barockschloss, auf dem Gebäude der FFW und der Kirche in Moritzburg

Übrigens sagte Prof. Dr. Semm (Universität Frankfurt), der jahrelang im Auftrag der dt. Telekom forschte, „Ich würde mein Kind nicht in einen Kindergarten schicken, wenn dort in 250 m Entfernung eine Mobilfunksendeanlage steht.“ (d.h. jedoch nicht, dass ab 260m Entfernung die Strahlung zu vernachlässigen ist)

LEWIS HANNAM
Norwich Evening News

05 August 2005 12:02

Campaigners have called for Norfolk Police to axe its new multi-million pound mobile handset system because of health fears.

Norwich North MP Ian Gibson wants the new communications network, called Tetra, to be stopped until its effects on the brain are fully known.

Families in North Walsham, where the system has been installed on top of the police station, back Dr Gibson's move.

The private company behind the Tetra masts, mobile phone giant O2 Airwave, says health fears are unfounded and ambulances will also soon be using the system.

Dr Gibson said: "There is still widespread concern about the safety of Tetra masts, particularly the effects on the health of members of the police force and the public in the vicinity of masts.

"The issue needs to be fully considered and reviewed — there is a feeling that this system has been rushed through.

"The Government should fund independent research into areas where cancer clusters have arisen around masts, with the Office of National Statistics providing information on actual cases of cancer and motor neurone disease."

The primary safety concern related to Tetra masts is that they use a form of microwave radiation at a frequency similar to electrical activity in the brain.

Fears have been raised they have caused a range of health problems, from minor headaches to cancer.

A family in North Walsham has been spearheading a campaign to get the Tetra mast there taken down.

Matthew Pennington, founder member of the Campaign Against Tetra Siting, is planning to go to the High Court to get the mast at North Walsham police station taken down.

Mr Pennington, 42, who lives with his wife Rachel Kirk and three-year-old son Henry, is not confident about getting the police network stopped.

He said: "I fear we are on a hiding to nothing at the moment. My big concern is that no masts are being refused anywhere else in the country."

Last year families near the police station mast claimed it was making people feel sick.

About six police officers also fell ill voicing fears of a link between their illness with the mast.

Susan Moore, a spokeswoman for O2 Airwave, said: "Health and safety is at the heart of everything that we do because of the nature of the services.

"There has never been any concrete evidence to suggest there are any health risks related to the masts."

She said the firm had just won the contract to provide the same service as it does for the police to ambulance trusts, by 2008.

The Tetra network is a Home Office initiative costing about £3 billion, it started in 2001 and its rollout is now complete across the country, Norfolk's network was finalised in May.

It involves 3,370 base stations being set up nationwide; all of which must be fully operational by the end of 2005.

Police have praised the Tetra system for being clear and above criminal detection.

Have you suffered poor health because of a mast? Telephone Evening News reporter Lewis Hannam on (01603) 772428 or e-mail lewis.hannam@archant.co.uk

--------

Perhaps now is the time to lobby your local MP to add to the call in Norfolk? Remember, we don't have to have Airwave TETRA.

Tetrapol is available which is cheaper and needs less masts for coverage. Has anyone heard of any ill-health around Tetrapol? Perhaps we need to discuss this. Again, your MP is the route to ask for a change to Tetrapol.

Sandi
