What a good article this was for objections to planning! I have saved the article in its entirety with all the photos, because, as Ingrid said, a picture says more than words!

On a more serious side this shows the damage it causes to our environment and the Earth is struggling now. This is why native Americans and other indiginous groups are holding World-wide prayers and are attempting to re-educate other nations.

Mobile Telephony: Standards more than insufficient

Pierre Le Ruz expert in electromagnetic harmful effects within the European Parliament.

The antenna-relays emit pulsated microwaves which stimulate the hypothalamus. When this zone is disturbed, it can start all kinds of disorders: insomnia, headaches, losses of memory, tendency to depression or suicide. Over the duration, these waves can bring disorders of reproduction, immune system, and cancers of the brain.

Vis-a-vis the importance of the market, the operators of mobile telephony neglected this aspect of their product on the public health. They are based on analyses which they financed, and which show the harmlessness of their technology. The European and French Regulations recognized that beyond a diffusion of 3 volts/meter a antenna-relay should be dismantled, insofar as exposed to higher frequencies, even the apparatuses electric household appliances come from there to be put out of order! In fact, so that the health of men is not threatened, the European recommendation should not exceed 1 volt/meter. But the application of the principle of precaution which wants that one does not establish an antenna with less than 400 m of a dwelling is not respected, especially downtown.

Since the use of new services as access Internet via the telephones the frequencies passed from 1.800 to... 2.100 MHz. What will raise a problem of public health!

http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/doi/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2005.03929.x/abs/ veröffentlicht wurden:

"Die Gehirnaktivität des Menschen wird nicht nur durch die elektromagnetische Strahlung der Mobiltelefone, sondern auch durch die Modulation der Strahlen beeinflusst. Dies haben Forscher der Universität Zürich und der Forschungsstiftung IT'IS herausgefunden. Die Konsequenzen für die Gesundheit sind unklar.“ http://de.news.yahoo.com/


Aus: Aus: FGF-Infoline vom 07.04.2005


Der Zürcher Schlafforscher Peter Achermann hat mittlerweile in drei verschiedenen Studien an Testpersonen nachgewiesen, dass Mobilfunk Auswirkungen auf die Hirnstromkurve hat, das sogenannte EEG: "Wenn wir eine Pulsmodulation haben, ähnlich einem Handy-Signal, dann haben wir einen deutlichen Effekt. Also die Exposition war vor dem Schlafen, der Effekt ist während dem Schlaf auf das EEG und er wächst an im Verlauf der Nacht sogar."

Exposure to pulse-modulated radio frequency electromagnetic fields affects regional cerebral blood flow

R. Huber, V. Treyer, J. Schuderer, T. Berthold, A. Buck, N. Kuster, H. P. Landolt and P. Achermann

Abstract

We investigated the effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) similar to those emitted by mobile phones on waking regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in 12 healthy young men. Two types of RF EMF exposure were applied: a 'base-station-like' and a 'handset-like' signal. Positron emission tomography scans were taken after 30 min unilateral head exposure to pulse-modulated 900 MHz RF EMF (10 g tissue-averaged spatial peak-specific absorption rate of 1 W/kg for both conditions) and sham control. We observed an increase in relative rCBF in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on the side of exposure. The effect depended on the spectral power in the amplitude modulation of the RF carrier such that only 'handset-like' RF EMF exposure with its stronger low-frequency components but not the 'base-station-like' RF EMF exposure affected rCBF. This finding supports our previous observation that pulse modulation of RF EMF is necessary to induce changes in the waking and sleep EEG, and substantiates the notion that pulse modulation is crucial for RF EMF-induced alterations in brain physiology.

Alarm bells of radiation threat

by Jean Christou

A PHYSICS professor at the University of Cyprus has warned that safety limits for electromagnetic radiation may be too high, following a two and a half year study of electrical emissions around the island.

Dr Panos Razis, who presented his findings at a lecture on Wednesday night in Nicosia, told the Cyprus Mail yesterday that although most emissions in Cyprus were within set safety limits, other countries were reducing their limits as studies into the long-term effects were starting to emerge.

Razis said the Cyprus study honed on what the team had called 'problems areas' such as Polemidhia and Lakatamia, where people have reported cancer clusters, particularly in childhood leukaemia. He said in both areas the readings were within the set limits but this did not mean the emissions were not responsible.

"The safety limits that have been adopted are under constant modification in several countries and are becoming lower and lower!," Razis said.

He said the reason was because initial studies had been looking at the short-term effects only, such as muscular phenomena.

"But how it influences biological molecules like DNA and RNA... research is not advanced in that area. So if one considers what might happen on a long-term basis one has to be cautious not to have houses and schools very close to such infrastructure because science at the moment cannot say it is currently 100 per cent harmless. We cannot say that. It still needs a lot of investigation. Decades ago they could not tell that smoking causes cancer," Razis said.

Razis said international studies had shown that children exposed to over 0.4 microtesla of electromagnetic radiation had double the risk of getting leukaemia. "The safety limit is at 100 microtesla," said Razis. "This was a real worry factor because if there are problems at 0.4 microtesla or even if there is an indication of problems but no proof, it is still worrying. ! It seems this was not a statistical fluctuation."

Razis said the study team had found children's bedrooms in some places in Latsia were only three metres away from outside pylons and electrical wires.

"We were getting relatively high readings but not higher than the safety levels set by the EU. But we also know that many countries are reducing these safety levels," he said.

Razis said there were also apartment buildings in Nicosia where residents were exposed to electromagnetic radiation the equivalent of watching television close-up for 24 hours non-stop.

"Again the levels were lower than safety limits but as a scientist one has to be relatively careful," he said, adding that electromagnetic radiation did not affect everyone in the same way, and some people not at all. "It's a matter of resistance of our molecules to such things," he said. "What the scientific community is trying to establish is whether humans have a certain threshold, because electromagnetic radiation has a cumulative effect. It's different for every person but children may be more susceptible. Their findings are different from the adults because their immunological system is not fully developed."

Another areas of concern Razis established from the study was the fact that people were allowed to build so close to pylons without anyone stopping them. "This should not be allowed right underneath high voltage cables," said Razis. "There is practical rule of thumb that one shouldn't be allowed to build inside a certain distance of about 30 metres from pylons."

He was also concerned about electricity and telecommunications workers on the island, saying they were in many instances exposed much more than the general population, as readings at electricity substations had been quite high.

"Because they are paid more, should they be allowed to be exposed to a higher level of radiation? I don't find this a very logical argument," he said, adding that the state should take responsibility for their protection.

"People who are exposed to higher than normal levels but which are still inside safety limits should be aware that research is still going on. Most in the scientific community don't believe in the current limits because they don't cover the long term effects," Razis said.
