BioInitiative from Safe Wireless Initiative

http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/bioinitiativereport.pdf

We have released the following today in support of the BioInitiative Report. Please share as appropriate.

"The BioInitiative Report represents a strong comprehensive review of EMR science -- perhaps the most precise done to date. The panel of expert doctors and scientists is world class. In the United States, this report should prompt Congressional Hearings on the entire issue of EMR disease risks, the inadequacies of the system to protect public health from these dangers, and most importantly steps that can be taken to mitigate the risks for future generations. It is noteworthy that since the original Congressional Hearings on cell phone radiation in 1993, the Congress has been silent on the issue -- even as mounting medical science shows confirmatory evidence of harm. In a presidential election cycle, controversial issues that may jeopardize political contributions are usually ignored. However, the exponentially increasing exposures to all types of EMR is unprecedented in history....three billion people are now exposed to wireless devices by choice every day, and 80 percent of the world's population by involuntary exposure simply by being in environments where wireless signals are present. EMR disease and environmental impacts are every bit as important as global warming, AIDS and other issues that have taken on political importance around the world. With the emergence of the BioInitiative Report, and the corroborative science before it, this important work challenges politicians in the U.S. and the world to either take the protection of their consituencies seriously and take steps to protect them, or explain to those constituencies why they are not."

Radiation risk from everyday devices assessed

17 Sep 2007

A new report raising concerns about the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on human health calls for tougher safety standards to regulate radiation from mobile phones, power lines and many other sources of exposure in daily life. The report, 'Bioinitiative: A Rationale for a Biologically-Based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields' was compiled by the BioInitiative Working Group, an international group of scientists, researchers and public health policy professionals. The EEA has contributed to this new report with a chapter drawn from the EEA study 'Late lessons from early warnings: the precautionary principle 1896–2000' published in 2001.

The BioInitiative Report has led to a warning from the EU's European Environment Agency (EEA) calling for immediate action to reduce exposure to radiation from Wi-Fi, mobile phones and their masts, which suggests that delay could lead to a health crisis similar to those caused by asbestos, smoking and lead in petrol.

http://environment.independent.co.uk/lifestyle/article2966951.ece

And to Germany’s Environment Ministry's recommendation that people should keep their exposure to radiation from Wi-Fi "as low as possible".

If you follow the story of John Snow (MD), who likely saved thousands of peoples life, during 1854 when Cholera struck London.

http://www.csiss.org/classics/content/8

They didn't knew how Cholera really worked or even had the slightest scientifically proof. In fact the real reasons weren't found before Robert Koch (noble price 1905), a German medicinal doctor and scientist could isolate 1883 the culprit in Egypt and India. About 30 years later!

This is called precaution principle:

"Late lessons from early warnings: the precautionary principle 1896-2000"

http://reports.eea.europa.eu/environmental_issue_report_2001_22/en
http://www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/radiation-risk-from-everyday-devices-assessed

"Although the EEA does not have specific expertise in EMF, the case studies of public hazards analysed in the 'Late lessons ' publication show that harmful exposures can be widespread before there is both 'convincing' evidence of harm from long-term exposures, and biological understanding of how that harm is caused.

'There are many examples of the failure to use the precautionary principle in the past, which have resulted in serious and often irreversible damage to health and environments. Appropriate, precautionary and proportionate actions taken now to avoid plausible and potentially serious threats to health from EMF are likely to be seen as prudent and wise from future perspectives. We must remember that precaution is one of the principles of EU environmental policy,' says Professor Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the EEA.

Current evidence, although limited, is strong enough to question the scientific basis for the present EMF exposure limits, according to the BioInitiative Working Group."

Now this is Europeans top environmental watchdog (EEA - European Environment Agency), but as already pointed out on this list, close to zero main stream coverage, where you'd think this should be on page 1 on every newspaper! It is quite likely humankind will suffer extremely and perhaps irreversible with all those wireless gadgets. ;(

MOBILES FOR FOUR-YEAR-OLDS UNDER ATTACK

Hard to believe that responsible Irish parents and Irish mental health professionals could act this way, but this article transcribed below, in last Sunday's Irish edition of THE SUNDAY TIMES (12.08.07) omits all references to the adverse health-effects from children's (even when of the advanced age of four!) exposure to cellphones radiative emissions.

MOBILES FOR FOUR-YEAR-OLDS UNDER ATTACK
[by] Gabrielle Monaghan

A mobile phone designed for children as young as four goes on sale in Ireland this week, and has sparked concern among parents' groups and mental health experts. The Firefly has five keys instead of a keypad. Children can dial only 20 numbers programmed into the phones by their parents and is protected by a pin code. The phone can be set up to block calls from numbers it doesn't recognise and the toy-like handset has special "Mum" and "Dad" speed-dial keys and a button for emergency services. The phone, which costs 100 [euros], will be sold at a number of specialist outlets including Smyths, the country's biggest toy store. The plans to introduce phones aimed specifically at parents of four-to 12-year-olds, however, has caused controversy. Experts said concern about child safety in the wake of four-year-old Madeleine McCann's disappearance is overdone and that children should not be left alone without adult supervision in the first place. "It's not a terribly good idea," said Patricia Casey, professor of psychiatry at University College Dublin and consultant psychiatrist at the Mater hospital. "It could be an overreaction to children disappearing. I don't think we should be bringing up children to believe the world is terrible because, for most children, it isn't. And any danger that exists rests with people they know, not strangers lurking in the dark." The Firefly has been brought to Ireland from the US by Kevin Crean, a former sales director for Meteor, and Frances, his wife. They set up Your Mobile in April to distribute the product throughout the island. The Creans began searching for a way to keep in touch with their children without giving them access to a regular mobile phone after their daughter Zoee became ill at summer camp. When the six-year-old complained of a sore neck, a rash "panic set in", she said. Frances collected the child and rushed her to hospital, fearing she might have meningitis. She said her daughter would have been brought to hospital earlier if the child had been able to describe her symptoms directly to her, instead of the camp supervisor. The Creans' search led them to America where her husband came across the Firefly. "Child safety is at the forefront of a lot of parents' minds and we all want to know what we can do to help children feel confident and safe when they are out and about," Frances said. "My children go to school and have activities after school so there are times when they need to contact me, my husband or the childminder." But Casey believes the product will give parents a "false sense of security" and that it is preferable to teach children how to take care of themselves, instead of relying on technology. Aine Lynch, chief executive of the National parents Council-Primary, said the Firefly would be more appropriate for children aged 11 or 12, many of whom already have mobile phones. She said it would prevent them from accessing the internet, ringing up massive phone bills or calling and texting people unknown to their parents. "There is a massive difference between giving a phone to a four-year-old and one to a 12-year-old," Lynch said. "Targeting a phone at a four-year-old is concerning. It gives rise to questions as to where parental responsibility is going. "Why would kids need to be contacted by mobile phone? Why are they not in the care of their parents, teachers or activity supervisors? Why wouldn't they be encouraged to ask the adult in charge of them about something? "Ten or 20 years ago, all children used to be looked after by the community and the children knew those adults. Now we have a situation where parents are commuting long distances, they don't even know their neighbours and that makes supervision a much bigger issue. "I would be concerned about placing the responsibility about safety on young children. "What happens if a child rings the parent, doesn't get an answer then gets distressed?"
