Offener Brief an die deutsche Bundesregierung 2006:
SENKEN SIE DIE GRENZWERTE beim Mobilfunk!
Sehr geehrte Frau Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Merkel,
als für Prävention engagierte BürgerInnen wenden wir uns entschieden gegen die Empfehlung des bei der WHO für Elektrosmog zuständigen Physikers Dr. Repacholi, das Wort „Elektrosensibilität“ nicht zu benutzen und unter Elektrosmog Leidende mit Verhaltenstherapie oder Psychopharmaka zu behandeln! Dr. REPACHOLI, der 1997 selbst erhöhte Lymphomraten bei Mäusen fand, gibt zu, jährlich 150 000 $ von der US-Mobilfunkindustrie zu bekommen.
Die WHO, die EU und die Bundesregierung haben 1997 die jetzigen Grenzwerte auf Empfehlung der ICNIRP e.V. in München übernommen, die aber nur die thermische Wirkung berücksichtigt. Der Tagungsbericht einer Israelin in der Anl. zeigt die „white wash“ Politik dieses Gremiums.
Nach Drs. RUZICKA und WARNKE z.B. in RICHTER/WITTEBROCK (2004) „Kommerz, Gesundheit und demokratische Kultur“ sind Schädigungsmechanismen aufgrund zahlreicher Studien u.a. aus osteuropäischer Forschung zunehmend plausibel. Nach RA WITTEBROCK gebieten Art. 2(2) und 20a des GG eine Überarbeitung der 26. BimSchV mit dem Ziel niedrigerer (Vorsorge)-Grenzwerte.
Unabhängige Mediziner wie Prof. Dr. med. ECKEL forderten schon im Jahr 2000: „Wir müssen die Grenzwerte unserem jüngsten Kenntnisstand anpassen“. Er riet zum „Salzburger Vorsorgewert“ nach Dr. med. OBERFELD, beschlossen von 19 unabhängigen Wissenschaftlern: „Die Bundesärztekammer hat sich dieser in Salzburg gefassten Erklärung angeschlossen“.
Eine Herabsetzung der Grenzwerte kurz nach dem Verkauf der UMTS-Lizenzen zur Haushaltssanierung erfolgte jedoch nicht wegen befürchteter Schadensersatzforderungen der Firmen. Andererseits ist bekannt, dass Versicherungsunternehmen wie die renommierte Schweizer RE es ablehnen, Firmen und Privatpersonen im Mobilfunk gegen Schadenersatzforderungen zu versichern. D.h. langfristig werden Krankheitskosten durch den zunehmenden Elektrosmog über die Krankenkassen auf uns alle abgewälzt! Wir appellieren deshalb auch aus Sorge über die Kostenexplosion im Gesundheitswesen an Sie, denn Prävention zahlt sich langfristig aus und Grenzwerte müssen die BürgerInnen vor Schäden schützen und nicht die Industrie. Wir sollten aus den Fehlern der Vergangenheit lernen, z.B. aus dem Buch des ehem. Staatsanwaltes der Frankfurter Holzschutzmittelprozesse Prof. Erich SCHÖNDORF „Von Ratten und Menschen“, wo von der Industrie auch die Übertragbarkeit von Ergebnissen aus Tierexperimenten auf Menschen angezweifelt wurde.
Es belastet das Immunsystem Gesunder und Kranken, wenn man sich nicht wenigstens am Schlafplatz vom in der globalisierten Welt aus vielen Gründen zunehmenden „Neurostress“ des Tages erholen kann.
Wir fordern deshalb vor allem Elektrosmog-arme Schlafplätze durch Senkung der Grenzwerte für Innenräume, (wie z.B. im BMW-Werk am Arbeitsplatz) sowie die Berücksichtigung nicht nur technischer und finanzieller, sondern auch gesundheitlicher Kriterien bei der Auftragsvergabe für den neuen Polizeifunk!
In der Hoffnung, dass Sie mit kluger Politik Schaden vom deutschen Volk sowohl durch ionisierende – aktuell im Irankonflikt - und auch durch nicht-ionisierende Strahlung – beim Mobilfunk – abwenden indem Sie die Grenzwerte drastisch senken,

Why Wi-Fi may be injurious to your health
Study to assess potential health risks of Wi-Fi access points in Toronto
By: Rosie Lombardi
IT World Canada (18 Jul 2006)
First, children living near power lines were believed to be at risk for leukemia. Then, cell phones were going to fry our brains
http://www.infoworld.com/article/reuters/2006-06-30_N29294149.html . Now, should we worry about Wi-Fi hotzones?
Prompted by citizen concerns
http://wirelesstoronto.ca/lists/archives/wirelesstoronto-discuss/2006-May/002221.html , the Toronto Board of Health is conducting a study of the potential health risks posed by Toronto Hydro Telecom's plans to blanket the downtown core with Wi-Fi access points http://www.itworldcanada.com/a/search/5b12e3f6-1fcf-482e-b412-8ec93a17263d.html .
A meta-study of the research done in this area is under way, but no field research is planned, says Ronald MacFarlane, supervisor of environmental health assessment and policy at Toronto Public Health (TPH), which delivers programs and services determined by the Toronto Board of Health.
In 1999, TPH conducted a health assessment of human exposure to RF, and the objective of this second study is to provide an update.
"When cell phones were becoming popular in 1999, councilors responded to concerns in their wards and asked us to look into cell phone towers and antennae," he says. "Similarly, people are now concerned about Wi-Fi initiatives, and we've been asked to look into this so we can come back to council with our assessment."
Based on the recommendations of the first study, the Toronto Board of Health adopted a policy of 'prudent avoidance' in 1999 and determined that the level of exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields should be set at 100 times below Safety Code 6, a guideline developed by Health Canada.
"At this point, we're trying to determine if there's a conflict between prudent avoidance policy and actual usage of Wi-Fi," says MacFarlane. "The initial indications are that Toronto Hydro's Wi-Fi RF would be below our recommended level, and there would be no need to alter plans to meet the standard."
He expects the study and its recommendations to be completed and presented to council in early 2007.
To put the issue in perspective, MacFarlane explains that all manner of infrastructure and consumer devices – power lines, radio towers, Wi-Fi routers, cell phones, radio and television, and so on – emit electromagnetic radiation at different frequencies, with varying effects on biological systems.
The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into two major categories, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cell-phone-radiation1.htm
High-frequency radiation with shorter waves at the ionizing end of the spectrum, such as X-rays and gamma rays, has undisputed detrimental effects on human health. At the borderline between ionizing and non-ionizing is ultraviolet radiation, emitted by the sun, which also has a clear link to skin cancer.
Controversy rages at the non-ionizing, lower-frequency end of the spectrum. At the lowest end are electromagnetic fields (EMF) such as those created by power lines. "The longer the wave, the fewer health effects we tend to find," says MacFarlane. "I know studies have looked at cancer caused by exposure to power lines, but the evidence is weak."
Radio waves, which are used in cell phones, Wi-Fi, radio, television and other consumer devices, operate at a higher frequency than power lines. Microwaves, which are used in radar and ovens, are a sub-set of radio waves, and have an even higher frequency. For RF emissions, there are few studies showing a clear impact, says MacFarlane.
However, he says he is reviewing research conducted in Switzerland that provides some fair evidence of a link between RF emissions from radio towers and sleep disturbances.
"This is something we see quite often in the literature – the RF impact on sleep," he says. "The Swiss changed their laws regulating RF emissions based on that study." But this is just one of a multitude of studies, some with conflicting findings, that the TPH is reviewing and considering to determine the patterns of risk.
Considering the vast array of infrastructure and devices that produce RF emissions, how much more would a Wi-Fi hotzone add to the totality of emissions people are exposed to in downtown Toronto? "It's like noise," says David Dobbin, president of Toronto Hydro Telecom. "We're already bombarded by radio waves. Our equipment operates in the same frequency and under the same licensing conditions as cordless phones, baby monitors and garage door openers.
Cell phone towers operate at 10,000 times the power of our Wi-Fi units, and FM radio towers are 100,000 times."
Tony Muc, a physicist and professor at the University of Toronto's department of public health sciences, agrees with Dobbin's description. "This particular application is yet another specific signal within this sea of electromagnetic fields we live in," he says.
"People have exploited radio waves since Marconi's time. And historically, natural electromagnetic phenomena have occurred as well. Biological entities have been exposed to them forever."
Dobbin points out that Toronto Hydro Telecom's equipment is more than fully compliant with all regulations set by the Canadian government. "Our emissions are a fraction of levels recommended by Safety Code 6 and the Toronto Board of Health. We've even gone so far as to get technical compliance declarations from our vendors such as Siemens to guarantee their equipment puts out less."
But many environmentalists distrust the regulations setting levels of exposure to RF, pointing out that it took decades to establish clear links between the harmful effects of DDT and regulatory decisions to ban it outright, and that no longitudinal studies have been done for RF.
"My response to that is that long-term studies have been happening in society since the advent of electricity," says Muc. "The background level of electromagnetic radiation, or 'electronic smog', has been increasing exponentially since about 1900. If we could look at a spectrum analysis then, we would see little beyond background 'noise', or the hiss of the universe."
Muc also points out that if RF emissions had been banned in Marconi's time, it would have prevented the progress of critical technologies society relies on today, such as the invention of television, radar and wireless.
But the spikes associated with human-generated RF are not easy to quantify or understand. "Take the CBC, for example, the transmission associated with that radio station, at that specific frequency, if we compare the ratio of the level today to 1900, it would be about a million," says Muc. "But that's a narrow window of the spectrum. If you go 10 kilohertz on either side of that band, you would only see an increase of maybe 10 or 100 times."
As a consequence, Muc has strong views on regulatory decisions setting RF levels below Safety Code 6. He says it is an international standard developed by scientists who've done extensive studies to find substantive connections between emissions and risks to human health.
"I think it's terribly misguided, under the rubric of 'prudent avoidance', to undercut standards. I think it's scientific nonsense, it's political, and it's socially short-sighted," says Muc. "So what is the point of the standards in the first place? It's trying to say, 'Because I'm ignorant, I want the number to be this.'"
He says this tactic creates even more public distrust of RF standards. "They're contributing to that distrust and that's why I'm against it. It's not all motivated by the military-industrial complex. I believe these standards are the result of good science."
But some disagree with that view. "My retort to that is that you have to question all authority," says Dr. Fred Gilbert, president of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which created an international stir and a precedent cited by critics of Toronto Hydro's Wi-Fi plans by banning Wi-Fi on campus
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/realitycheck/20060228.html .
"Every person viewed as an authority operates from a perspective that is limited. A physicist is not a biologist, nor is a biologist in a position to determine the effects caused by physical forces," says Gilbert, who believes in a precautionary policy in the face of evidence that is suggestive if not irrefutable.
He points out that the cause and effect relationship of smoking and cancer was not teased out for decades. "What we have is a set of standards that might be ill-based at this point in time."
No particular study swayed Gilbert, whose own background is in zoology, rather it is the preponderance of evidence suggesting behavioural, cellular and other impacts that were seen decades ago to be precursors to cancer in other scenarios. And some emerging evidence on new issues also played a role.
"Some of the evidence provided to me has been shocking from individuals who have electrosensitivity, who've been able to demonstrate their case and who've suffered abuse in trying to indicate to health professionals what they're dealing with is real," he says.
Muc has reviewed studies of in this area and says he is perplexed by the findings. "What I'm skeptical of is the demonstrable link between what they claim to observe or feel and actual electromagnetic fields. I remain baffled by that but I can't deny that people experience these things. It's like the issue of clairvoyance or predicting cards – it's hard to determine if they're random occurrences."
Gilbert acknowledges some of his personal experiences have also played a role in his reasoning. "I have some very good friends who are dealing with brain cancer
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId110117 and they are people who, because of their business, made extensive use of cell phones. You look at all this information and say, yes, it's anecdotal, but at what point do you as individual who has access to this information say I don't want this risk?"
Toronto Hydro Telecom's Dobbin is aware that emotions run high on the issue of RF exposure. "It's an emotional issue. I understand that people have concerns and that some people believe they've been negatively affected by RF. I sympathize with their position," he says. "But wireless services are a benchmark for modern living, and they are proliferating everywhere."

Elektrosmog: Schüler ziehen um
Weil über den Schulpavillons in Iberg eine Hochspannungsleitung verläuft, werden nach den Sommerferien verschiedene Schulklassen an anderen Orten untergebracht werden.
Dies hat die Schulpflege Winterthur-Seen beschlossen. Sie reagierte damit auf die Sorgen und Ängste der Eltern von 100 betroffenen Kindergärtlern und Unterstufenschülern, wie der «Landbote» gestern berichtete. Um den Aufenthalt der Schüler in den belasteten Pavillons zeitlich zu begrenzen, findet dort künftig nur noch Handarbeits-, Musik- und Stützunterricht statt.

Um den Aufenthalt der Schüler in den belasteten Pavillons zeitlich zu begrenzen, findet dort künftig nur noch Handarbeits-, Musik- und Stützunterricht statt.

Cross Current and The Body Electric

Robert O. Becker, M.D quote:
“I have no doubt in my mind that at the present time, the greatest polluting element in the earth’s environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. I consider that to be far greater on a global scale, than warming, and the increase in chemical elements in the environment.’’

GLOBAL WARMING....
Yeah, and the increase in chemical elements in the environment. All of these things are reduced when compared to the proliferating affect of the electromagnetic fields. The only difference is that we don't know they are there.
YES, IT'S AN INVISIBLE POLLUTION.
Yes, it's invisible to us. We don't know that it's there. So, it has never been a particularly prominent question even among the environmental people. And part of the problem is that our total economy is based on unlimited use of electromagnetic energy."

Victory in six-year fight to recognise electrosensitivity condition
Please read the enclosed news article from this week’s local news paper. It is about my dear friend and neighbour Lynn Insley, vice chair for SCRAM, http://www.scram.uk.com . Lynn is an unsung hero and deserves credit for her hard work and continued dedication working on this campaign in the background supporting many people in Sutton Coldfield and throughout the UK, despite suffering with her own disabilities.
Best wishes

Victory in six-year fight to recognise condition
Anti-mast campaigner Lynn Insley is finally getting sick notes from her doctor telling her and others what she has known for six years - that she suffers from electrosensitivity.
Former Further Education lecturer Lynn, 53, has long described herself as "virtually unemployable" but has faced a hard battle to convince the medical profession that her condition is anywhere other than in the mind.
The former Riland Bedford pupil is now hoping to find work on her own terms - based at home in Wishaw in her carefully controlled environment, away from mobile phones, wireless computers and a certain type of fluorescent lighting.
All of the above send her off balance, impair her concentration and coherence, and give her electric shocks, tingling sensations and numbness. They sap all of her energy and up until recently, allowed her to set off shop alarms simply by walking into shops.
Now, after facing years of scepticism and even ridicule from "experts", Lynn and fellow sufferers have belatedly won the backing of the UN's World Health Organisation.
The WHO has recognised "electronic smog" as a new form of pollution, added to by countless household gadgets.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer - part of the WHO - classes the smog as a "possible human carcinogen".
One part of the smog comes from electrical fields, created by wiring. All electrical equipment, from toasters and hairdryers to electric blankets and clock radios, gives off another component of the smog - magnetic fields.
Radio frequency fields - a third component - come from microwave ovens, TV transmitters, mobile phone masts and phones themselves.
The WHO said that the smog could interfere with the tiny natural electrical currents that help to drive the human body.
It added that "everyone in the world" was exposed to the smog and that "levels will continue to increase as technology advances". Items close to people's beds produce the strongest dose due to the long-term exposure during sleep.
Both the WHO and the domestic Health Protection Agency have now accepted that an allergy to electricity - electrosensitivity - exists, although they remain uncertain precisely as to how it is caused.
Sufferers' symptoms vary, with others reporting nausea, pain and depression. Up to three per cent of the population may be affected, the WHO claims.
Mother of two Lynn said: "In July 2000, I was forced to give up a full-time job. I ran a health and social care NVQ programme for a college of further education, which at its peak had 15 assessors on the team.
"At the point of leaving I was hardly able to function. My capacity to think and make decisions was virtually non existent. I began to call things by the wrong name: paper clips one day became "sausages" and students "soldiers", when the mistake was pointed out, I could not recall their correct name without a huge effort.
"I had difficulty remembering colleagues' names, and confused people and situations. I could not manage to dial my own or office number without careful thought.
"I developed symptoms of extreme fatigue, experienced pins and needles and numbness throughout my entire body and clicking sensations in my head.
"My GP in Erdington dismissed this at first, then called it stress, implying that it was psychosomatic. He told me and my husband during my last visit to his surgery, that we all get tired, he did too, and when he does, he goes to bed early; he also pointed out that he was very busy and must move on to the next appointment.
"I changed doctors. My new GP at Walmley was more supportive: he had been my aunt's and my father's GP, and knew them both quite well. My aunt came along with me on the initial visit to endorse what I was saying, and to confirm that, although the symptoms may seem bizarre, would he please take me seriously, because she had known me from the day I was born, and that I was not an ‘ill’ person, that I was usually very level-headed - and that clearly something was happening, because when I said that I was tired, I was actually describing the inability to stand or communicate.
My new doctor actively listened, he referred me on to a Consultant Neurologist, who referred me on to a specialist who would investigate whether or not I had damaged my nerve ends. The specialist found my nerve ends to be fine, and suggested it may be stress (all in the mind).
"I went back to my GP who referred me on to a Teaching Hospital for a bone density scan. Again no problem was found, and MS tests also proved negative. I went on to another Consultant to investigate the possibility of Fibromyalgia, but the symptoms didn’t really ring true, so again there was no conclusion.
"My symptoms worsened, I kept falling over, my speech and vision were affected and I became touch sensitive - in other words, if I touched my skin on occasions a sharp pain would shoot through my body. My GP prescribed HRT, I had gone through the menopause at 47, my immune systems were not working properly, I had had a cough for four years and x-rays showed nothing. My neutrophils (white blood cells) were hovering just above zero."
The following year, eight of Lynn's neighbours also found they had low neutrophil counts, with an alarming number developing similar symptoms to hers, plus skin rashes and cancers.
The erection of a mobile phone mast in Bulls Lane was blamed by the villagers for the sudden onset of their illnesses.
Sutton Coldfield Residents Against Masts (SCRAM) was formed, a small upstairs room in Lynn's house, with protective, foil-lined wallpaper and coated glass deflecting any beams from the mast, serving as its nerve centre.
She and husband Steve moved into a back bedroom further away from the antennae.
Lynn found that she was becoming something of a hermit, as most social situations made her feel uncomfortable.
"A huge amount of investigations took place and it was then that I discovered that I had become electrosensitive," said Lynn, who visited private consultant Dr David Dowson - an early advocate of the existence of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME).
"With this newly-found knowledge I was able to research my illness and protect myself and my home. I began to recover. However I only remain well if I avoid excessive electromagnetic fields, which is easier said than done.
"By meeting other electrosensitive sufferers, I realise that our symptoms can differ, it's all about what actually caused the exposure in the first place. My symptoms are triggered off by some fluorescent lighting, computers, mobile phones, mobile phone masts, and microwave and wireless technology. I can only tolerate exposure on a short-term basis, when in contact with this technology for longer periods my symptoms return.
"I now preserve exceptionally good health because I limit my exposure to electromagnetic fields.
"Going out to shop or to bank is a living nightmare as is travelling on public transport, because every other person, if not talking drivel on a mobile phone, has got one on standby. "If phones don’t zap me, lighting does. I’ve lost count with how many shops I have to run in and out of quickly if I want to remain well.
"I am virtually unemployable; a modern workplace is the worst place for me to be, at home I have a purpose-built office with protected screening, but my profession is not easily worked in the home environment.
"It is estimated that over two million people in Britain are electrosensitive. This has immense implications for the economy, considering extra pressure being put on the health service, coupled with a reduction in pensionable earnings and tax."
Lynn, whose belated sick-note coincided with the publication of the WHO report, said campaigners like those in SCRAM and the Radiation Research Trust had helped to persuade the medical authorities to recognise her condition.
"I've got mixed emotions. I'm delighted that they have at long last acknowledged that electrosensitivity exists, because we can now use that as our bolster against people who are being dismissive, like employers and other medical practitioners.
"We have tirelessly spoon-fed them with information and I don't think they were able to avoid it any longer. They've finally had the courage to speak out after years of sarcasm and stonewalling."

Repacholi ist aber leider nicht verschwunden!!
Sehr geehrte Herren/Frauen in Bürgerwelle Redaktion,
ich bin Engländerin und ich wohne in Nord- West England.
Ich sende Ihnen Informationen über ein 'Horizon' BBC2 Fernsehprogramm von letzter Woche. Michael Repacholi war der Hauptsprecher. JA, er ist noch da! Er ist leider nicht in Ruhestand getreten, um nur in dem Gemüsegarten zu arbeiten und schöne Ausflüge zu machen. Er arbeitet anscheinend noch für die Industrie. Jetzt spricht er für die Kernkraftindustrie aus. Jetzt ist IONISIERENDE Strahlungen 'gut für die Gesundheit'!! [s.u.]
Hier finden Sie mehr Informationen über das Fernsehprogramm.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/1/hi/sci/tech/5173310.stm
Das Programm war über Chernobyl.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/1/hi/sci/tech/5173310.stm . Das Horizon Programm war sehr einseitig. Was soll man von dem Programm eigentlich lernen????? Nach Repacholi und seinen Wissenschaftler Freunden Chesser und Brooks: Der Cherobyl Kernkraftwerkunfall war gar nicht so schlimm wie man früher geglaubt hat. Nicht viele Leute sind wegen des Unfalls gestorben. Die Chernobyl Bevölkerung blieb gesund. Ionisierende Strahlungen seien nicht so schlimm wie man früher gefürchtet hat. Niedriger Pegel der Ionisierenden Strahlungen können sogar auch gut für die Gesundheit sein und, noch besser, sie können vor Krebs schützen. Weil die Ionisierende Strahlungen so ungefährlich seien, müssen wir jetzt über die ganze Sache mit Strahlungen in allgemeinen. [Nicht genau erklärt im Programm, aber gemeint glaube ich, wenn ionisierende-Bestrahlungungen nicht gesundheitsschädlich seien, wie können andere nicht-ionisierende-Strahlungen gefährlich seien.)
Es heißt weiter, dass Leute nur krank werden, weil sei 'Angst' vor das Wort 'Strahlung' haben. Wir sollen Strahlungen nicht fürchten.
Ja, total Unsinn!
Was wissen wir von den Freunden von Repacholi, die während des Programms auch erschienen.

I currently have a three-year grant to act as a communication specialist and chief scientist for the DOE Low-Dose Research program. This is a $20 Million dollar a year 10 year program which is directed toward providing a scientific base for radiation protection standards after very low exposures to ionizing radiation. As outlined above this grant provides me with $570,280 dollars over a three year period. This grant will provide most (70-80%) of my salary, travel money and a part time secretary. My role in this program is to:
Provide scientific and technical support for the DOE Low-Dose Research Program.
Facilitate the interactions between DOE, scientists, regulatory and scientific committees, and other government and regulatory agencies.
Provide a focal point for generation of educational materials and for communication of research results between the scientists, decision-makers and the public.
