The NRPB and its cautionary never-never land

With all the hype about the NRPB Stewart report on mobile phones it is worthwhile remembering how the NRPB is (mis)handling the power frequency issue.

The NRPB's latest sales pitch for accepting the ICNIRP guidelines is taking the definition of a precautionary approach even further into never-never land. It is available from their web site at:

http://www.nrpb.org/publications/documents_of_nrpb/pdfs/doc_15_2.pdf

(Advice on Limiting Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (0-300 GHz)
Volume 15 No.2, 2004)

We have the usual 'feel good' but meaningless statements about precautionary approaches, etc. but the document's idea of following a precautionary approach is to adopt the ICNIRP guidelines. To Quote from the Conclusions and Recommendations:

"The review of current scientific knowledge, the adoption of a cautions approach to the interpretation of these data, and a recognition of the benefits of international harmonization, combine in a recommendation to adopt the ICNIRP exposure guidelines for occupational and general public exposure to electromagnetic fields between 0 and 300 GHz."

SO now a precautionary approach is defined as adopting ICNIRP. BUT what does ICNIRP's Paulo Vecchia say about precautionary approaches?

See: http://www.emfacts.com/papers/moscow_conf.pdf

"Futire developments in ICNIRP , by Paulo Vecchia

"ICNIRP only considers acute effects in its precautionary principle approach. Consideration of long term effects [are] not possible."

"Precautionary actions to address public concerns may increase rather than mitigate worries and fears of the public. This constitutes a health detriment and should be prevented as other adverse effects of EMF."

So ICNIRP must now class precautionary actions as a thermal effect!

SO where does this leave the NRPB's platitudes about precautionary actions/approaches?

The NRPB report acknowledges that "There is some epidemiological evidence that time-weighted average exposures to power frequency magnetic fields above 0.4 uT is associated with a small increase in the absolute risk of leukaemia in children" but then does a questionable numbers game to discount that fact. The report claims that such exposures ( 0.4 uT or 4 milliGauss) "are seldom encountered by the general public (again, questionable) in the UK" and then suggests that the risk may not be real, thus conveniently discounting all the epidemiological evidence. Later in the report it is stated that "It is concluded that restricting time-weighted average magnetic flux density of 40 mT for whole-body exposure is appropriate for the general public." For occupational exposure (this would include pregnant workers) the "appropriate" exposure level is set at 200 mT.

Appropriate for whom?

Is this the NRPB's idea of a precautionary approach???

In Section 136 "Power frequency fields" the NRPB then goes on add one of their feel good but meaningless statements: " There remains concerns about possible effects of exposure of children to power frequency fields. The view of NRPB is that it is important to consider the possible need for further precautionary measures in respect of exposure of children to power frequency magnetic fields."

I wonder what those further measures could possibly be? Perhaps they may tell us in 15 -20 years time....

Its interesting that no matter how much solid evidence is presented that ICNIRP is severely flawed, national EMF standard setting bodies such as the NRPB uncritically accept it's assurances. Forget science - its really a social class thing - elites supporting their fellow elites in a global power sharing game. The Australian aboriginals have a name for it, "secret men's business".

It will have to take a BIG VOICE from the PEOPLE to really get some changes

My name is Sandi Lawrence and I am one of the new Mast Sanity committee members. If I communicate with politicians or phone companies (especially 02 Airwave) I make sure they know that I am in this to the finish i.e. healthy results for humans and animals, or scatter my ashes to the wind over the sea, whichever comes first! That is the way it is for me.

I think the Sioux Indian in me rises to any threat to Our Creator's wish, that we take care of this Earth; the animals of the air, land, and sea; and every human, whatever race or tribe.

I wouldn't let my brother kill woodlice when I was young, so sure as hell, I am not going to let those with power and money hurt humans, animals and the environment without a determined and lifelong effort to oust them! Even female part Native Americans can be warriors when the blood is up, you know!

Far from being dead and buried, Mast Sanity now has a new committee to propel it forwards and upwards and carry on the work Lisa and co started before we arrived on the scene. Sorry, but I cannot name the "and co" because we have been too busy trying to take over the reins temporarily for Lisa, and I did not think about what has been, only what must be done now!

I hope you, and all new mast campaigners to come, will benefit from what we are trying to achieve for you all. I also hope that we will have your support in return.

My personal opinion is that I think it will have to take a BIG VOICE from the PEOPLE to really get some changes, unless a miracle happens, so exercise those vocal chords everyone and join hands across the UK, incase a miracle doesn't happen!

(We are just normal, everyday people, you know, so we cannot do it all. We need you, too, and more help with Mast Sanity!)

Effect of 910-MHz electromagnetic field on rat bone marrow

Demsia G, Vlastos D, Matthopoulos DP.

Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Management, Ioannina University, Seferi 2, Agrinio 30100, Greece. gntemsia@cc.uoi.gr

Aiming to investigate the possibility of electromagnetic fields (EMF) developed by nonionizing radiation to be a noxious agent capable of inducing genotoxicity to humans, in the current study we have investigated the effect of 910-MHz EMF in rat bone marrow. Rats were exposed daily for 2 h over a period of 30 consecutive days. Studying bone marrow smears from EMF-exposed and sham-exposed animals, we observed an almost threefold increase of micronuclei (MN) in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) after EMF exposure. An induction of MN was also observed in polymorphonuclear cells. The induction of MN in female rats was less than that in male rats. The results indicate that 910-MHz EMF could be considered as a noxious agent capable of producing genotoxic effects.

Catastrophe: 60 Dead near a Cellular-Radio-Broadcasting-Tower in Slupsk (Stolp)/Poland

Watch the death-list at: http://www.iddd.de/umtsno/listaSlDe.htm

Original in Polish (scanned): http://www.iddd.de/umtsno/listaslupsk.htm

These observations were made within the last four years by Mrs. Bartos from Slupsk, Poland. In 1991 the tower starts with television and radio service. Since 1992 it works also as cellular-tower. The people who are on the list live or lived in a distance between 25 or 30 meters except two sky-scrapers in a distance from 100 to 150 meters.

The government didn't made any epidemiological and statistical investigations upon the high death-rate between 1995 and 1998 and until now.

These list was created by Mrs. Elzbieta Bartos, Slupsk ul. Banacha 11/58, 76-200 Polska. Tel. (004859) 84-42-260 between July and Decembre 2004 and is based on interrogations of neighbours, doctors, teachers and the suffering people from this area.

Letter to all members of the House of Lords

I have sent the letter copied below to all members of the House of Lords because I do not feel that Lord Bassam of Brighton's comments should go uncontested in the place where decisions could be made for our future. Let them all hear the other side of the coin with my opinion.

Sandi


Dear Member of the House of Lords,

I am emailing to correct Lord Bassam of Brighton’s comments in the House of Lords debate on mobile phone masts, as follows:

Lord Bassam of Brighton: My Lords, there will of course be some revision of the guidance, because the planning policy guidance process is turning into a different form of planning guidance. There have been recent reviews of PPG8 and I understand that it is widely understood. The problem is that local residents sometimes do not like what they hear; one has to be realistic about that. The noble Baroness makes a point about the number of appeals. It is certainly true that there was a large increase in appeals and in the quantity of written representations on planning applications. Thankfully, that appears to have peaked and may well now be tailing off, but it is of course open to local political activists to stir up such issues. It is in their interests to do so; one can well understand that.

I am a great-grandmother and I have never been a political activist in my life.

Since March 2004 I have been an active campaigner agaist the Airwave Tetra for police forces and the siting of masts near schools and residential areas.

The only reason for this is that I have witnessed the suffering and illness caused by this mm02 Airwave TETRA amongst my family members, friends, and other normal, well-balanced people.

That I also suffer near TETRA, either in passing mast sites, or along the directional paths of the radiation to and from each mast, also hardens my resolve to call for this system to be halted and replaced by another form of tetra, perhaps Tetrapol?

I make no excuses for mentioning directional paths! There is no scientific proof but I feel pain in my head and neck etc on these directional paths and so despite what scientists say, there is microwave radiation interferring with my body!

Omega: there is scientific proof. See: "The inadequacy of the ICNIRP Guidelines govering human exposure to the microwave emissions of GSM/TETRA Base-stations": http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/dr_hyland_dec03.pdf
and "Report on TETRA" http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/report_on_tetra.doc

WHEN WILL THE GOVERNMENT, OR YOURSELVES REQUEST AN INQUIRY INTO THE POCKETS OF ILL HEALTH AROUND MASTS?

How many must die before you do? And who will accept responsibility?

Or will you just call them all accidental deaths instead of corporate manslaughter?

I have met and spoken to many normal, decent people who campaign against TETRA.

I have never met or spoken to any activists or trouble makers, they are all genuinely concerned about the health of their families, or friends or fellow human beings. A lot are also concerned for wild life and domestic pets, who also suffer near these masts.

MM02 Airwave, government bodies and associated scientists all declare this TETRA to be safe.

How is it then that thousands/ hundreds of thousands? of people have become ill around these mast areas, and further from the masts than guidelines suggest?

Do you truly know the extent of this illness? Do you even consider it?

Even Mast Sanity, a voluntary organisation helping the general public with problems around masts, can only guess, yet this organisation collates information from groups and individuals across the UK.

I recently joined Mast Sanity because I realised that this is not a problem associated just with my backyard. It is a national problem and needs to be addressed at national level, preferably by those who were elected by us to take care of us and our nation.

I speak to new people every week answering mast Sanity’s Advice Line one day a week My heart goes out to them if they are around TETRA or 3G masts, but I now also know that phone masts, long term, can also be harmimg them, especially if they have children or elderly parents.

They, and we, are just normal decent people looking for help.

We do not plant bombs, break into houses, instigate riots or break the law.

We have asked for help and understanding and have met brick walls, deceit, lies, and underhand practices that we would never consider – all for material gain!

Yes, we are angry that our trust has been abused and that we are treated so badly by this government and businesses with no morals or scruples. No, we do not respect, or believe, government bodies because they have proved to be false for self-interested reasons –

BUT, WE DO NOT WISH TO BE LIKE THEM AND SO WE ACT HONOURABLY AND WITHIN THE LAW!

We are not local political activist and we resent attempts to discredit us as much as we resent the way independent scientists are discredited for speaking out and saying what we know is true.

Microwave transmission does harm human and animal life and TETRA can KILL!

These are my own personal opinions and I do not in this letter represent, or attempt to represent, Mast Sanity. My views are not necessarily those of Mast Sanity which speaks for itself.


Yours sincerely,

Mrs Sandi Lawrence

Fighting the battle on all fronts

Wentworth Courier Wednesday 17 November (Sydney)
Just as phone towers grow like Topsy along the skyline, so do the lobby groups to fight them. Report KIM SHAW
Residents from Paddington and the Inner West have teamed up to fight 3G technology, claiming the network is not an essential telecommunications service and interferes with privacy rights.

The health impacts of electromagnetic radiation and the visual blight of phone towers are two additional issues which the group intends to raise with the Federal Government and with parent groups.

The rollout of 3G phone towers has caused consternation in dozens of neighbourhoods, as the towers must be placed closer together than regular mobile-phone towers in order to pass a signal.

A number of groups, such as "Tower Sanity", have cropped up in recent months arguing for a more cautious approach to the rollout of phone-tower facilities. The "Bronte No 3G" group last month lost a protracted battle against the installation of a Hutchison Telecoms 3G antenna in the vicinity of a playground, a primary school and a kindergarten.

The new lobby group with members in Paddington and Ashfield has no name as yet, but is collectively concerned about the privacy implications for 3G phone/camera technology.

Josephine Wadlow-Evans, of Paddington, said 3G technology was a luxury item and not an essential telecommunications service, and should not have the protection of the Federal Telecommunications Act. She said local councils should hold the planning powers over phone towers.

Under the Federal Telecommunications Act, phone towers less than three metres high are deemed low impact and can be erected with out the permission of the local council.

Mary Hawkins, a Greens councillor at Ashfield and a member of the new group, said she had yet to hear of 3G technology being used for social benefit. "You can see the benefit of mobile phones in calling for emergency services, but we don't think video phones provide essential social benefits," Ms Hawkins said. The group will seek to address Parents and Citizens groups from local schools and lobby the Federal Telecommunications Minister, Senator Helen Coonan.

A spokeswoman for Hutchison Telecoms said Australia followed safety standards set by the World Health Organisation in relation to electromagnetic radiation. She said 3G signals were one of the weakest radio signals in the environment compared with radio and TV broadcasts. Last month Hutchison and Telstra announced they would share Hutchison's 3G network infrastructure. The spokeswoman said this would minimise the impact the facilities had on local communities.

The Naila-Study

Summary

Following the call by Wolfram König, President of the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (Federal Agency for radiation protection), to all doctors of medicine to collaborate actively in the assessment of the risk posed by cellular radiation, the aim of our study was to examine whether people living close to cellular transmitter antennas were exposed to a heightened risk of taking ill with malignant tumors.

The basis of the data used for the survey were PC fi1es of the case histories of patients between the years 1994 and 2004. While adhering to data protection, the personal data of almost 1.000 patients were evaluated for this study, which was completed without any external financial support. It is intended to continue the project in the form of a register.

The result of the study shows that the proportion of newly developing cancer cases was significantly higher among those patients who had lived during the past ten years at a distance of up to 400 metres from the cellular transmitter site, which bas been in operation since 1993, compared to those patients living further away, and that the patients fell ill on average 8 years earlier.

In the years 1999-2004, i.e. after five years’ operation of the transmitting installation, the relative risk of getting cancer had trebled for the residents of the area in the proximity of the installation compared to the inhabitants of Naila outside the area.

Key words: cellular radiation, cellular transmitter antennas, malignant tumors
