While many Eagleville residents are concerned about the loss of prime farmland or their homes, there are other concerns associated with the potential 500-kilovolt substation TVA plans to build there, especially health concerns.

"Some of the literature ... pointed out that there is an increase in leukemia with power lines," said Lisa Matson of Rockvale. "There is a link between cancer and electromagnetic fields, and my concern is they are going to put this directly behind the school."

Electric and magnetic fields are generated by all sorts of power sources, from nature's thunderstorms to the office photocopier. With man-made power sources, the electrical fields result from the energizing of the wiring, and the magnetic fields result from the flow of power (current) as it serves the load being applied. "EMF" refers to electric and magnetic fields and "ELF" refers to extremely low frequency, the sort found in the transmission power lines.

Since America's use of power surged in the late 1950s, studies have been done on the effects of high voltage lines on the environment, but other than accidental electrocutions, it appears the magnetic fields may be the culprit of the health concerns.

"Although a cause-and-effect relationship has not been established, several expert panels have concluded that higher rates of childhood leukemia are statistically associated with higher levels of magnetic fields in homes," stated a report of the Electric Power Research Institute, which is conducting long-term multidisciplinary EMF research through major universities, laboratories and consulting organizations.

Matson, like many concerned with the proposed substation, had found information about the possible links between childhood leukemia and magnetic fields at http://www.poweroutrage.com , a Web site devoted to fighting the TVA plan.

Findings of the EMF RAPID Program (Electric and Magnetic Fields Research and Public Information Dissemination) completed in 1998 agree that there seems to be a link between proximity to EMF and increased rates of childhood leukemia, and, in adults who work in the electric industry, increased rate of adult CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia), which is a different disease.

The EMF RAPID program was conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy. Although it was primarily funded by the government to comply with the Energy Policy Act, it was also funded by utility companies.

The Executive Summary of the EMF RAPID report stated : "The scientific evidence suggesting that ELF-EMF exposures pose any health risk is weak. The strongest evidence for health effects comes from associations observed in human populations with two forms of cancer: childhood leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia in occupationally exposed adults."

The problem was, the evidence was epidemiological — that is, it showed an association between magnetic fields and in increase in incidents, but no cause-and-effect relationship could be recreated in the laboratory.

The RAPID report also indicated that "interface from EMF can affect various medical devices, including cardiac pacemakers and implantable defibrillators."

In the summary, the working group of scientists and other experts concluded that "ELF EMF are possibly carcinogenic to humans."

The report stated there was "inadequate evidence" that EMF ELF caused Alzheimer's, ALS, breast cancer, suicide and depression, adverse effects on pregnancies and other health concerns. The study did find, however, that "exposure to electric and magnetic fields affects bone repair and adaptation."

Power substations and powerlines are not the only source for ELF EMF, however. According to lessemf.com, "2.5 mG is the generally accepted limit of ELF magnetic field exposure, but no one tells you that the average hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, or can opener you use emits and amazing 300 mG or more."

Another concern, one voiced the Vaughn family in Eagleville, who produce organically grown animals and crops for human consumption, was the effect the ELF EMF may have on their produce, and on those who consume the produce.

"Nobody's ever really said anything about that," said Pettus Read with the Tennessee Farm Bureau about the effect on plants. "We've had soybean fields and such under these powerlines. We've never had any complaints."

Read said he didn't believe the amount of ELF EMF created at that level would have an adverse affect on the plants, but said he did not know for sure and was not aware of any studies.

"The biggest complaint we've had is losing the farm land," he added.

Roger Sparry, TVA manager of siting and environmental engineer, said that while there has been some epidemiological evidence between the possibility to ELF EMF and some cancers, he, too, had heard of no negative effects on plants.

"I've never heard of any reports of it directly affecting plants," he said.

Schäden an Bäumen durch Mikrowellen
Dr. Ferdinand Ruzicka (Univ. Doz) has in his web page:

http://www.mikrowellensmog.info/Baeume.html

several pictures with the phone masts effects on the trees

In the page 56 of the article: “Umweltprobleme Luft” from Kathrin Oldag, Anna Glyk, Monique Irrgang (Hanover University) (I send you also) appear plagiarized, without having requested authorization to the Doctor Ruzicka these pictures (in the section corresponding to damages for the ozone!!!!!!).

Years ago already it was tried to accuse the acid rain of the radar effects in the forests of Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

With best regards.

Thank you for the continuing fund of information you send to me weekly. I am sending this to you regarding the bees affected at and near my farm and am wondering if you know of a scientist who can undertake research bees exposed to MW in their hives to see if they develop diseases such as those reported in UK.??? My interest is that Dr Cherry's archives have research showing increased bacteria, fungii and micro-organism when exposed to RF/MW. We are now observiing increased fungii and lichen on trees in the areas the FM is focused through from the radio tower next to my farm. At my farm the beam is very narrow and strong as close to the tower and the affected trees are in very narrow bands -which are also incidently areas where other radio stations receptions are interfered with and cell phones will not work as well as the areas where my animals became sick and some died. Further out in the same beam lines the trees are affected over a wider area and miles from the transmitter the area affected is even larger. We have photographed the lichen and observed that some trees are nearly dead from it and when the angles seem to be lifted very slightly of the antenna the trees begin new healthy growth and there is no lichen on the new growth - further on the trees which now seem have the FM energy focused on them due to the small change in angles begin to wither and grow the lichen/fungii. I will send you a few photos of this effect which show that the FM energy seems to cause changes to trees and increased fungii/bacteria. I am told by biologists that lichen in our country should be on the south facing side of the trees - we are finding it is on the side facing to the tower and if the tower is on the south side of the tree the lichen is on the north side if the tree is on the north side the lichen is south. Not all trees are affected by this fungii - normally not evergreens but many of them show signs of browning and death on their needles which I am told would act as receiving antenna. The levels are exposure monitored are always within the ICNIRP guideline of safe exposure. In our city it is reported recently increased unusual new bacterial diseases and fungii such as athletes foot infections. I do not have the email source of the info you have sent me and wondered if you could send this on to the newspaper concerned to see if we can get some scientific study started???

Wildlife Vanished at Ouruhia

Worms, bees, trees, birds, rabbits, frogs, affected by the RF

Since Penny moved to Ouruhia in 1992 she has not seen any earthworms. Logs of wood that have been lying in a damp area for four years without being moved and usually there would be wood lice and worms under these damp logs. Friends looked several times and could only locate one earwig.

When the Hargreaves first moved to the property there were mice, rats and hundreds of birds but by 1996 they only saw very few. 1997 would find a few dead mice and birds in the stables which face direct line to the aerial.

When they moved in 1996 a few bags with oats and feed in the bottom were left in open sheds. When they returned in August 2000 no mice or rats had been there, which is most unusual. No sign of rats or mice when moving hay and straw in the barn. No droppings to show rodents had been there during the last 4 years.

In 1992 there were many bee keepers with hives along the river as they like the willow honey. Now there are none. Penny had not seen a bee all year except for one day in late 1995 when two angry swarms of bees flew in. The woman renting Walnut Tree farm house summer 2001, commented on the lack of bees and wasps, she was surprised because of the rotting peaches usually attracting wasps.

People who have lived in the Marshlands Rd area all their lives comment how the frogs have all gone in the last few years.

At Ouruhia the trees have been dying where the main beams are directed to. They seem to be most vulnerable if they have their roots in water or are close to the river. Penny has noticed this effect near some cell phone towers also.

1992 there were many rabbits. In 1995 the Hargreaves experienced an influx of rabbits around the stable area and they dug burrows under the iron barns and no longer were found in the paddocks. This was unusual for rabbits to move so close to the humans as the dogs chased them and dug out the burrows. We now know that the corrugated iron barns reflect the EMR beams which would have meant shelter inside the sheds for the rabbits after the second FM increased their exposure. By 1996 all the rabbits had vanished and no poison was used.

There are advertisements for small machines conducting MW which are used in barns to eradicate bugs and vermin. It was as if Walnut Tree farm had a giant EMR machine eradicating all the wild life. In late 2001 the tenants told her they had influx of rats and were surprised when she was pleased. The return of vermin meant the EMR effect on the farm was much less. In the German cow study the cows avoided the areas of high EMR.

In 1997, 1998, men making hay commented on the lack of wildlife on the farm.

Penny saw hundreds of birds when thye first moved in 1992. By 1996 there were only a few. The pukehoe seems to be able to cope with the RF , as does the fan-tail which stays under the trees around the house, but the hundreds of chaffinches , hammerheads and other birds vanished in 1995/96/97

Since mid 2001 the wildlife seem to be slowly returning. What is different? Two FM have been removed from Ouruhia and one FM and 2 AM from Philpotts Rd tower 5 kilometres .

This information sent to Penny Hargreaves by a bee keeper living approximately 1 kilometre from the Ouruhia tower where the licences show an FM beam is directed.

"As a registered bee keeper I have been having problems with bees dying outside the hive entrances for no reason I can come up with. I am talking hundreds of bees. As I am trying to specialise in Queen raring I have to have a lot of smaller hives. I have had major problems keeping them alive and building up their strength. With the problems I have had in this area I had to move most of these hives away from home. This has enabled me to carry on my Queen raring but the travelling takes more time and adds to my costs. With the help of my father (who was previously working for a major beekeeping firm for over 30 years as beekeeper) we have not discovered the reason why the bees are dying."

The bee keeper and his children had also become sick with symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome at a similar time in 1996/97.

Bees Commit Social suicide

Page 133. A study from Germany (Wellenstein 1973) which showed that bees, when subjected to ELF electromagnetic fields stopped making honey, sealed up their hives in mid season and therefore committed social suicide was accepted by bee keeping associations throughout Europe within a few years. And indeed it was quoted authoritatively by a local inspector to a Fishpond villager whose bees had become so savage and unproductive that they had to be moved 20 miles away – where they thrived once more His findings and subsequent related work by Dr Cyril Smith (Smith and Baker 1982) seem relevant to the earlier and more generally accepted studies on bees and homing pigeons, both of which are known to have receptors which are able to sense the Earth’s magnetic field and its variations, which they use to help direct their survival behaviour.

EMR Affects Birds and Worms

Again, in the early 1980s HV power lines near bird sanctuaries and pigeon breeding communities in Gloucestershire were buried underground because of their acknowledged disorientating effects. A US Navy ELF communication project which had to be abandoned because the electromagnetic fields produced by the wires buried underground radically disturbed the earth worms and therefore the composition of the soil. This of course sounds laughable at first, but …like this study, much of the earliest accepted evidence came from studies on bees and birds rather than humans. It remains one of the mysteries of bureaucratic arcane – or economics - that such effects on humans are still not officially accepted, at least in Britain.

Hilary Bacon in Crosscurrents (Fishpond) “comments on the bees shutting up their hives under the power lines. She also comments on a U.S. ELF communications project which had to be abandoned because the electromagnetic fields produced by the underground wiring radically disturbed the worms and therefore the composition of the soil.”

Dead Birds

A neighbour Mr Slatick’s, submission to the hearing, 1997,

“Over the last year, bird life in the area has been devastated. I feel this is caused by the broadcasting, frequencies/ intensities, from the radio tower. The area used to be abundant with all types of bird life. Now, few normally seen species can be found, and then only in minimal numbers. Dead birds and dying birds have been found over my property and my neighbours adjoining property. I have been told that effects on bird life is similar on the other side of the river. I spoke with a Professor of Physics on this and he said, “yes, this can happen if enough power is put out.”

This neighbour also stated “I experience constant ringing in my ears while I am at my home and it fluctuates from steady to low and sometimes a very high pitch. Recently there was a very high pitch which bordered on stunning, at exactly the time I experienced this, the horses in the field opposite squealed loudly as if in pain.”

This neighbour experienced problems with his radio and TV. Sometimes in the middle of the night the TV would turn itself on and radio from the tower would transmit through it.

Although his house is close to the aerial (approx 400 metres) he and his wife have not experienced severe illness. There are many trees and the river between them and the tower. These seem to absorb the power. We have found where there are trees between the houses and the tower, people are healthier than those whose houses are in open spaces, or trees behind the houses. The nearest house to the aerial is approx 250 metres but because of abundant tree growth on the river banks between, the residents cannot see the tower. Their children have experienced bad boils but otherwise healthy.

A hundred metres further out witout the tree protection, a woman taught riding, spending many hours in the open field in line-of-sight to the aerial, and in 1993 she died of ovarian cancer, aged only 33 years.

Ostrich chicks bred within 1400 metres for the aerial did not grow feathers and died.

The curse of the mobile phone age: around your home there are countless gadgets whose electrical fields, scientists now warn, are linked to depression, miscarriage and cancer

By Geoffrey Lean,
Environment Editor
Published: 07 May 2006
http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article362557.ece

Invisible "smog", created by the electricity that powers our civilisation, is giving children cancer, causing miscarriages and suicides and making some people allergic to modern life, new scientific evidence reveals.

The evidence - which is being taken seriously by national and international bodies and authorities - suggests that almost everyone is being exposed to a new form of pollution with countless sources in daily use in every home.

Two official Department of Health reports on the smog are to be presented to ministers next month, and the Health Protection Agency (HPA) has recently held the first meeting of an expert group charged with developing advice to the public on the threat.

The UN's World Health Organisation (WHO) calls the electronic smog "one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences" and stresses that it "takes seriously" concerns about the health effects. It adds that "everyone in the world" is exposed to it and that "levels will continue to increase as technology advances".

Wiring creates electrical fields, one component of the smog, even when nothing is turned on. And all electrical equipment - from TVs to toasters - give off another one, magnetic fields. The fields rapidly decrease with distance but appliances such as hair dryers and electric shavers, used close to the head, can give high exposures. Electric blankets and clock radios near to beds produce even higher doses because people are exposed to them for many hours while sleeping.

Radio frequency fields - yet another component - are emitted by microwave ovens, TV and radio transmitters, mobile phone masts and phones themselves, also used close to the head.

The WHO says that the smog could interfere with the tiny natural electrical currents that help to drive the human body. Nerves relay signals by transmitting electric impulses, for example, while the use of electrocardiograms testify to the electrical activity of the heart.

Campaigners have long been worried about exposure to fields from lines carried by electric pylons but, until recently, their concerns were dismissed, even ridiculed, by the authorities.

But last year a study by the official National Radiological Protection Board concluded that children living close to the lines are more likely to get leukaemia, and ministers are considering whether to stop any more homes being built near them. The discovery is causing a large-scale reappraisal of the hazards of the smog.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer - part of the WHO and the leading international organisation on the disease - classes the smog as a "possible human carcinogen". And Professor David Carpenter, dean of the School of Public Health at the State University of New York, told The Independent on Sunday last week that it was likely to cause up to 30 per cent of all childhood cancers. A report by the California Health Department concludes that it is also likely to cause adult leukaemia, brain cancers and possibly breast cancer and could be responsible for a 10th of all miscarriages.

Professor Denis Henshaw, professor of human radiation effects at Bristol University, says that "a huge and substantive body of evidence indicates a range of adverse health effects". He estimates that the smog causes some 9,000 cases of depression.

Perhaps strangest of all, there is increasing evidence that the smog causes some people to become allergic to electricity, leading to nausea, pain, dizziness, depression and difficulties in sleeping and concentrating when they use electrical appliances or go near mobile phone masts. Some are so badly affected that they have to change their lifestyles.

While not yet certain how it is caused, both the WHO and the HPA accept that the condition exists, and the UN body estimates that up to three in every 100 people are affected by it.

Case History: 'I felt I was going into meltdown'

Until a year ago, Sarah Dacre reckoned she had a "blessed life". Running her own company, and living in an expensive north London home, the high-earning divorcee described herself as "fab, fit and 40s". Then suddenly the sight in her right eye failed: she first noticed it when she was unable to read an A-Z map. Soon she was getting pains and numbness in her joints. She could not sleep and spent nights "pacing about like a caged lion". Her short-term memory failed and if she took notes to remind her, she would forget she had made them.

The symptoms got worse whenever she was exposed to electricity. She could not use a computer for more than five minutes without becoming nauseous. Even using a telephone landline gave her a buzzing in the ear and made her feel she was "going into meltdown".

Evidence suggests certain people are hypersensitive to the emissions from wireless access points James Mortleman, Computing 28 Apr 2006 ADVERTISEMENT

WiFi networks could cause headaches, fatigue, irritability and lack of concentration in some people, experts believe.

There is an increasing body of evidence to suggest certain people are hypersensitive to the emissions from wireless access points and other electromagnetic devices.

'There seems to be a small proportion of people who react badly to wireless networks,' said Alasdair Philips, chairman of independent watchdog Powerwatch and a member of the Government's Stakeholder Advisory Group on extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (Sage).

'For example, I’ve seen several doctors and dentists who have put wireless LANs into their surgeries and then had complaints from staff who can feel something in their head or can’t concentrate properly.But when they’ve taken out WiFi and put cable in, the problem has disappeared.'

Although Philips says there is a need for more rigorous, peer-reviewed studies of the problem, he believes electrosensitivity affects significant numbers.

‘A lot of people are reporting the problem and awareness of it is growing. Some studies estimate only one in 10,000 people is electrosensitive; others suggest it's as high as 30 in 100. In our opinion, it affects about two and three per cent of the population to some degree,' he said.

In March, the Government’s Health Protection Agency (HPA) set up a group to help develop precautionary advice for the general public regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields, but Philips says we are at least five years away from more formal regulations being introduced.

While Philips believes emissions from mobile phone base stations are a far greater problem, he cautions against the use of WiFi networks where not absolutely necessary.

‘My advice would be not to put a wireless network into your offices. If you’ve already got one, be aware of the symptoms some of your staff may be suffering – things like headaches, fatigue, irritability and lack of concentration,' he said.

'If you see increasing numbers of those symptoms in particular staff, it might be worth putting those staff in a different part of the building with a wired network.’

He added emissions were concentrated near the network nodes.

‘Try to locate access points away from where people sit,’ he said.

heute eine sehr ernste Sache. Der Münchner Merkur hat einen Artikel geschrieben, der Frau Dr. Waldmann-Selsam in ein falsches Licht rücken lässt.

Bitte helft mit Euren Leserbriefen mit, da entgegen zu wirken.

Viele Grüße

Euer

Uli Weiner

Leserbrief zum Beitrag „Schwerer Verstoß gegen die Schweigepflicht“, 5.5.06

Will man eine Ärztin Mundtod machen?

Im o.g. Beitrag heißt es wörtlich, dass „nicht geklärt“ ist, ob die Bamberger Ärztin Dr. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam gegen die ärztliche Schweigepflicht verstoßen hat. Trotzdem lautet die Überschrift „Schwerer Verstoß gegen die Schweigepflicht“ – ohne Fragezeichen! Ist es das, was man Pressefreiheit nennt?

Wir gehören zu den Millionen Menschen, die unter den gesundheitsschädlichen Auswirkungen von Mobilfunk leiden und haben deshalb Frau Dr. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam kontaktiert. Sie ist mehrere hundert Kilometer gefahren, hat bei uns zwei Tage ihrer wertvollen Zeit verbracht, hat in unserer Sache an das hiesige Gesundheitsamt geschrieben – das alles, ohne einen Cent zu verlangen! Eine solche Hilfsbereitschaft ist – vor allem bei Ärzten – äußerst selten. Offenbar Grund genug, die „Ärzteschaft im Landkreis“ (Stoibers Landkreis Bad Tölz/Wolfratshausen) gegen sich zu bringen.

In unserem Fall haben wir Frau Dr. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam von uns aus von der Schweigepflicht entbunden, ohne dass sie darum gebeten hätte! Wir sind froh, wenn auch unsere Daten dazu beitragen, endlich einen „wissenschaftlichen“ Nachweis über die Schädlichkeit von Mobilfunk zu erbringen und Ärzteschaft und Gesundheitsamt wachzurütteln. Dagegen hat Frau Dr. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam bei manch unserer Fragen immer wieder auf ihre Schweigepflicht hingewiesen.

Deshalb sind wir aufgrund unserer eigenen Erfahrungen völlig überzeugt, dass Frau Dr. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam nichts vorzuwerfen ist. Das Ganze ist offenbar eine üble Kampagne gegen eine couragierte Ärztin, die den Mut hat, Mobilfunkindustrie und Politik die Stirn zu bieten. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten ihrer KollegInnen, die immer noch schweigen. Im Gegensatz zum Gesundheitsamt, das sich offenbar in erster Linie für die wirtschaftliche Gesundheit der Mobilfunkindustrie zuständig fühlt.

..zur Angelegenheit: Dr. Waldmann-Selsam

Warum die Aufregung. Aus politischer und "vieler Ärzte"-Sicht gibt es doch keine gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen durch Mobilfunk. Also, wo nichts sein kann, kann auch nicht geklagt werden. Die erhobenen Daten sind doch formaljuristisch gar nicht relevant. Oder ?

Es wird ja immer besser ! Leider kenne ich Frau Dr. Waldmann nicht privat! Jedenfalls wird diese Information hier überall verbreitet! Auch bei der WHO und dem Gesundheitsamt, die mir nicht mal einen Arzt fanden hier in Genf! Die WHO kennt niemanden, der sich auf dem Gebiet Elektrosmog auskennt und unser Gesundheitsamt schickt mich jetzt ins Wallis. Dieser Artikel ist wieder ein Beweis mehr das alles gewollt ist und die andere Info aus Deutschland von heute wird noch glaubwürdiger! Nämlich das alles gemacht wird, um nur noch halbkranke Menschen zu haben, die dann die Pharmakonzerne zum Blühen bringen!
