It's the old debate, that of mobile phones and their harmful effects. The Indian government recently decided to adopt the guidelines issued by ICNIRP, an international science body, writes M S S Murthy.

Mobile phones and cancer: the debate has been on for over a decade now without any definite conclusion. While studies show an association, albeit weak, with some types of brain tumors, an equal number of studies have failed to substantiate that claim. The latest is the warning given by Dr Ronald Herberman, Director of the University of Pittsburg Cancer Institute, USA, about excessive use of mobile phones, particularly by children.

Sunday Express WiFi is Making Us All Sick We Must Ban It 04012009
http://www.next-up.org/Newsoftheworld/WiFi.php#1

--------

Die französische Mobilfunkinitiative “Next-up“ hat einen britischen Zeitungsartikel (“Sunday Express“ vom 04.01.2009) auf ihre Homepage gestellt.

Anmerkung: In einigen Ländern wird Wi-fi als Synonym für WLAN http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Local_Area_Network benutzt.

Es geht um die Belastung und gesundheitliche Beschwerden von Anwohnern in Glastonbury und anderen Städten, die in Zusammenhang mit der Installation von Wireless Hotspots in den jeweiligen Ortszentren stehen. Während Anwohner geplagt von Schwindel, Schwitzen und extremer Erschöpfung aus Glastonbury flüchten und insbesondere Eltern ihre große Sorge um die Gesundheit ihrer Kinder in den Wi-fi belasteten Schulen machen, versichern Stadträte, dass sie die „Sicherheitsbedenken immer ernst nehmen“ würden, aber „völlig davon überzeugt sind, dass das Wi-fi Projekt für niemanden in Glastonbury ein gesundheitliches Risiko darstellt.“

Diese Aussagen kennen wir – egal welche Zeitung, in welchem Land auch immer, man aufschlägt.....

Interessant ist auch noch der kurze Anhang zum Artikel, verfasst von der Next-up Organisation. Es geht um einen Spendenaufruf, um den eigentlich Verantwortlichen für die Misere, M. Repacholi, vor Gericht bringen zu können. M. Repacholi war maßgeblich an den Studienprogrammen der WHO beteiligt, außerdem war er Vorsitzender der ICNIRP und somit verantwortlich für die verheerende Grenzwertfestlegung.

Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority: Children's mobile phone use should be limited
http://www.stuk.fi/stuk/tiedotteet/en_GB/news_527/

New limits will be placed on radiation levels amid fears of increased risk of cancer from phone use

By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor

Sunday, 11 January 2009

New laws cracking down on children's use of mobile phones are to be introduced in France amid growing fears that they may cause cancer and other diseases.

All advertising of the devices to children under 12 is to be prohibited under the legislation – announced by the Environment Minister, Jean-Louis Borloo, last week – and he will also take powers to ban the sale of any phone designed to be used by those under six.

The French government will also introduce new limits for radiation from the phones and make it compulsory for handsets to be sold with earphones, so that users can avoid irradiating their heads and brains. And one of the country's largest cities last month started an advertising campaign to discourage the use of the phones by children.
