Another Repacholi & Co. spin- article in Enviromental Health Perspectives

Dear Old Michael Repacholi may have retired from his position as head EMF science sorcerer at WHO but he’s still weaving his evil spells. When not selling his expertise to aid the nuclear industry and the Pentagon by declaring that Chernobyl was not really that bad after all and that Depleted Uranium is okay to injest - provided you don’t take too much, he manages to get in another shot for his old paymasters, the Telcos. All in the name of good science, of course.

See “Base Stations and Wireless Networks: Radiofrequency (RF) Exposures and health Consequences” as published in article in Enviromental Health Perspectives. http://www.ehponline.org/members/2006/9633/9633.pdf

Note that the lead author is one Peter A . Valberg, an expert in human health risk assessment from Gradient Corporation. Check out Gradient Corporation’s web site, under “Cost Management” and you will find the following quote. Repacholi is in good company….

“Clients engage Gradient to assist with environmental issues that directly affect their business goals and their bottom line…We are hired for our strong technical analysis and our ability to provide clear testimony and persuasive negotation to help our clients achieve their goals and abide by environmental laws and regulations.”

It would be interesting to see Gradient’s client base. Most likely a Whos-Who of corporate polluters. It would also be of interest who paid Gradient to co-author the EHP report.

EXIT INDEPENDENT EMF RESEARCH, ENTER POTBOILER SCIENCE

The recent EMF meeting in Crete, http://imm.demokritos.gr/bioeffects was the 4th in a series of meetings on Biological Effects of EMF, taking place every second year in a Greek island. Despite its success these meetings will now be discontinued. These meetings were one of the few of its kind where it was possible to present results that show biological and negative health effects due to EMF. Apparently the organizers have been under great pressure to change this, but instead of they have decided to stop organizing these meetings. At the last meeting the industrial and WHO stooges claimed loudly that many of the contributions were of low-quality and should not have been accepted or in other words negative effects of EMF should not be presented. These people were present in the audience at almost every presentation that mentioned biological or negative health effects of EMF. During the discussion they were always the first to criticize the work as being bad science, incorrect results, never been duplicated etc. Now Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria and Malta are eager to organize these meetings, but nothing was mentioned about their political message.

Secret ties to industry and conflicting interests in cancer research, Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2006

Editor's summary: Some consulting firms employ university researchers for industry work thereby disguising industry links in the income of large departments. If the industry affiliation is concealed by the scientist, biases from conflicting interests in risk assessments cannot be evaluated and dealt with properly. Furthermore, there is reason to suspect that editors and journal staff may suppress publication of scientific results that are adverse to industry owing to internal conflict of interest between editorial integrity and business needs

I forward here this newly published article by Lennart Hardell, Elihu Richter and others called "Secret Ties" (article is attached. See journal citation and link below) that describes industry influence over the reported outcome of "independent" scientific research that is being strategically designed to affect policy development and legal decisions. Among the many case studies well documented herein, I especially refer you to the section on how Motorola's behind the scenes participation in certain studies in Sweden on possible epidemiological connections between cell phones and brain tumors were aimed at discrediting the work of Lennart Hardell. Motorola's involvement in those studies was found to be tied to a major tort claim against Motorola brought by Dr. Chris Newman, who later died of brain cancer. Hardell's testimony in this case was considered pivitol to its outcome. The paper recommends that scientific integrity requires greater transparency and continued monitoring is required by the independent scientific community and editors of scientific journals.

10.11.06

A mobile phone mast has caused 27 deaths and illnesses to people living close by, terrified residents said yesterday.

They believe the 82ft antenna emits potentially lethal microwaves and is responsible for a cluster of cancer cases over the last 13 years, some of which had proved fatal.

Families living in three streets are spending hundreds of pounds trying to protect themselves from what they believe are killer radiation rays.

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

The mast - owned by mobile phone giant Orange - was erected in Shooters Hill in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, in 1993.

Since then there has been seven deaths and 20 illnesses, which locals claim is linked to the towering structure dominating the skyline.

Four people, including neighbours Elsie Jones, Yvonne Greensmith and Freda Oakes, have died from brain haemorrhages, all within three years of each other.

Three other residents have succumbed to cancer, among them John Cornes and John Butler, who died from a brain tumour.

Four non-fatal cases of cancer have been reported, as well as three people suffering irregular heartbeats, five who have constant headaches and sleeplessness and six who have high blood pressure.

Two have also complained that their epilepsy has worsened significantly in the last ten years. The three worst affected streets are Cherrywood Grove, Sandon Road and Milward Grove, which are all just yards from the mast.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council commissioned expert tests last year to find anything that would have a negative effect on human health but they found nothing.

Orange also insist the antenna - which collects and distributes signals from other masts- is safe but there are now growing calls to have it torn down.

Mother-of-two Karen Owens, aged 40, who lives 300 feet from the mast on Milward Grove, had a double mastectomy on Tuesday after contracting cancer.

She found out she had breast cancer back in May and is now terrified sons James, five and two-year-old Harry are being harmed.

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

"I had some initial surgery and chemotherapy, but then I decided to have both breasts removed because I'm frightened of it coming back.

"The operation has been completed as expected. I feel rough but everything has gone to plan. There is no history of breast cancer in my family, and statistically I am very young to get it."

Chris Cornes lost her husband John to cancer four years ago and now uses about 50 rolls of tin foil to line her loft and bed headboard.

Monitoring equipment apparently showed one side of her home has much more microwave radiation than the other.

Jean Hopkins, who lives within feet of the mast, suffered from headaches until spending £1,000 on precautions.

She said: "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."

Alfred Oakes, 81, has lived on Sandon Road for 51 years. He believes the mast, which is directly opposite his home, could be responsible for his skin cancer.

Stoke-on-Trent South MP Rob Flello wants research to see if residents' fears are justified.

He said: "I use a mobile phone, but that is my choice. People who buy a house and then a mast is put up have no choice."

Stoke-on-Trent City Council said its research the antenna was operating within national guidelines.

But opponents say the council report only looked at the possible heating effects of the microwaves, not their potential to cause biological problems, especially in the brain.

Dr Gerald Hyland, from the University of Warwick said his research revealed "quite a strong correlation" between health problems and where the beams of microwaves are strongest.

Digital mobile phone radiation operates at a similar frequency to electrical activities in the brain - and may cause sleeplessness, headaches and more serious illnesses.

Orange insist the mast will not cause any adverse affects to residents. Sue Hammett, Orange's community liaison officer said: "The latest fact sheet from the World Health Organisation said there were no adverse long-term or short-term health effects from this low-level radiofrequency and that came out in May.

"We appreciate this is a sensitive issue, but we believe our mobile phone stations are safe."
