How nice that "electrosmog" and all of us EHS sufferers by extension, have now been given a secure place within the hallowed lexical confines of Chambers latest English Dictionary, due for release on August 22, 2008.

Alison Flood in her online article (guardian.co.uk, Thursday, August 14) "Wags and War on Terror Invade Dictionary" puts it like this:

"New words included in the 11th edition of the book, out on August 22, have a strong green focus, with food miles, green tax, eco-village and electrosmog- the potentiaoly harmful electromagnetic fields from computers and mobile phones- also making it into the dictionary for the first time.

The trend, according to the consultant neurosurgeon, is increasing at an alarming rate. He is also seeing younger Singaporeans with brain tumours, including a six-month-old child.

Better known for his part in the separation of Nepalese conjoined twins Ganga and Jamuna Shrestha, Dr Goh told my paper: "The trend is unmistakable. It was not like this 10 years ago."

In the past, the median age for patients diagnosed with brain cancer was between 50 and 60 years old. However, signs are showing that it has shifted to the early 40s.

Dr Goh, who is also a paediatric neurosurgeon, added: "It seems that there is something in the environment that may be causing cell transformation, which leads to the development of cancer. The cells of younger people are more vulnerable to toxins and they can transform to become cancerous."
