The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has passed a resolution opposing the use of fire stations for cellular antenna site locations until such installations are proven not to be hazardous. The IAFF called for an initial study to determine if the health of firefighters who work in stations with cell towers on the station property has been adversely affected.

Also, here's an excerpt from a recent press release which indicates the type of ES symptoms some firefighters are experiencing after having cell towers located on their stations:

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIREFIGHTERS (IAFF) VOTES TO STUDY HEALTH EFFECTS OF CELL TOWERS ON FIRE STATIONS

Call for Moratorium on New Cell Towers on Fire Stations Until Health Effects Can Be Studied

Boston, MA – August 24, 2004 – Firefighters returned to their home stations throughout the United States and Canada following last week's IAFF convention after passing a resolution to study the health
effects of cell towers placed on the fire stations where they work and live. Added to the resolution was an amendment calling for the IAFF to support a moratorium on the placement of new cell towers on fire stations until the completion of the study.

A recent pilot study of six California firefighters, first publicly revealed at the IAFF convention by medical writer and study organizer Susan Foster Ambrose of San Diego, CA, raises concern about the safety of fire fighters working and sleeping in stations with towers.

The study, conducted by Dr. Gunnar Heuser of Agoura Hills, CA, focused on neurological symptoms of six firefighters who had been working for up to five years in stations with cell towers. Those symptoms included slowed reaction time, lack of focus, lack of impulse control, severe headaches, anesthesia-like sleep, sleep deprivation, depression, and tremors.

Dr. Heuser, along with Dr. J. Michael Uszler of Santa Monica, CA, used functional brain scans - SPECT scans - to assess any changes in the brains of the six firefighters as compared to healthy brains of men of the same age. Computerized psychological testing known as TOVA was used to study reaction time, impulse control, and attention span.

Disturbingly, the SPECT scans revealed a pattern of abnormal change which was concentrated over a wider area than would normally be seen in brains of individuals exposed to toxic inhalation, as might be expected from fighting fires. Dr. Heuser indicated the only plausible explanation at this time would be RF radiation exposure. Additionally, the TOVA testing revealed among the six firefighters delayed reaction time, lack of impulse control, and difficulty in maintaining mental focus.

Because of increasing complaints among firefighters with cellular antennas on their stations coupled with the California study showing damage among the six firefighters tested, a group of five individuals spread across two provinces and three states worked with Southern California firefighters to draft the resolution put before the IAFF membership last week. Lt. Ron Cronin and Acting Lt. Joe Foster were joined by Dr. Magda Havas of Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, Vermont-based Janet Newton - president of the EMR Policy Institute, and Susan Foster Ambrose.

IZGMF: Kommentar zur Interphone-Studie

FGF-Infoline vom 21.10.2004

„Die schwedischen Forscher fanden heraus, dass sich bei langfristiger Handynutzung (mehr als 10 Jahre) das Risiko nahezu verdoppelt, an einem Hörnervtumor zu erkranken. Noch höher, nämlich fast um den Faktor 4, ist das Risiko, einen Hörnervtumor auf der Seite des Kopfes zu bekommen, an der das Handy bevorzugt gehalten wird. Kein erhöhtes Risiko fanden die Schweden bei einer Handynutzungsdauer unter 10 Jahren.

Hintergrund: Im Frühjahr 2004 hatte die erste Veröffentlichung aus der Interphone-Studie, sie bezieht sich auf die Teilstudie in Dänemark, aufgrund festgestellter Akustikusneurinome für einigen Wirbel gesorgt. Bereits 1999 dokumentierte ein Forscherteam um den amerikanischen Epidemiologen Dr. George Carlo, dass bei lange andauernder Handynutzung (mehr als 6 Jahre) ein erhöhtes Risiko für Akustikusneurinome besteht.“

3rd International Workshop on Biological effects of EMFs, Kos, Greece, 4-8 October 2004

“Negative and No effects” was the order of this meeting , so another step backwards. It almost looked like a conspiracy.

The Australian Centre for Radiofrequency Bioeffects Research was strongly represented with in vitro and in vivo RF studies, all supported by Telstra and Motorola, who also handled their exposure systems.

Among others, they had one (#B6:4) that was to be a replication of the Salford group’s work on BBB and dark neurons. They did not find any effects. Their experiment was run during a much shorter time and when asked how many mice they had used, the answer was: 6. The Salford group used hundreds of mice!

From the Salford group new results were reported (#A9:1), which showed that even after 50 days there was no change in the number of dark neurons in the 136 mice. Actually a group in Bordeaux, France got the same positive results as in the Salford’s study. However, this study was not allowed to be published and the scientist who did the work has disappeared.

Another Australian study was on human cells and heat-shock proteins (#B2:4). No change in transcription level or trace of the heat-shock protein was found. When asked how many experiments were done, the answer was: 1. Actually one more experiment was done, but since this showed a positive result, it was discarded as a false positive and was not mentioned at all. This group has now received funds to replicate my studies within one year.

However, we never did less than 20-30 independent experiments!

De Pomerai tried very hard to explain the mistakes in his first studies on the worms that gave positive effects. I almost felt sorry for him. It gave the impression, that he made experimental mistakes of the most elementary kind (controls, shams, exposure calculations etc.) or that editorial committees from the journals where he published these articles, among them the prestigious Nature, had been fast asleep while refereeing. He presented some new negative results, some hardly relevant. These resulted in a sarcastic question from Adlkofer (REFLEX), whether he had switched on the exposure apparatus!

These are just a few examples, but enough to show a very depressing trend in EMF science. It makes one feel sad to see what they have done to science. They have come a far way from the original intention, that a scientific study is something one is completely committed to, morally as well, and that it becomes almost part of oneself.

Indeed industry has corrupted science in cooperation with a coalition of willing scientists.

As Repacholi mentioned in his update on WHO EMF projects (#PLII:1): replication studies are recommended, but they need not be an exact replication of the original study.

In other words, they may be changed so as to fit a desired result?

Anyway who would like to have their work replicated by a bunch of amateurs.

The REFLEX report has still not been published officially and the reason is that industry is trying to prevent it.

Motorola was actively represented by a younger edition, but with the same viewpoints.

Poland, as one of the countries that recently has joined the EU, has now to change their safety limits. Their original safety limits were much stricter than EU’s ICNIRP limits, so for them it is also a step backwards.

SAR is getting a growing number og opponents and is considered as useless by many. Actually it is based on electrical fields and not on magnetic fields. Proposals for other ways to measure and express exposure were proposed e.g. Poland (#A7:1).

The Melatonin theory was also disproved (#PLI:3). It only applies to mice and not to man. Probably because mice are nocturnal animals was the explanation.

In trying to find a mechanism for the effects of EMF and non-thermal effects, it has now become politically correct again to talk about “Windows” (#PLI:1). Other explanations were cooperativity, like the one used for the allosteric enzyme mechanism (#PLIII:1).

However, I think we should rather turn to Kaiser (Germany) as the expert.

Fortunately not all was as dark. The posters showed many positive and interesting results, among them many in vivo experiments. Probably because these are mostly from younger scientists, not yet biased. Of course there were also a number of negative replications, but one has to be aware of who is behind these studies.

A Spanish poster was a about a patented device(#58) that could protect the brain against RF, as measured by recording of the 4 brainwaves. This was very similar to the Klieesens study some years earlier. This project was supported by Siemens. Some time ago one of Siemens’ directors in Germany said to a Danish newspaper, that if mobile phones really proved to have negative health effects, Siemens was ready to pull out of the mobile phone market.

After all it was not their main product. However, this is not the case for companies like Motorola, Nokia etc. They have all reasons to stick to their only product and use all means to buy influence in the appropriate places.

Greenwashing as "corporate responsibility"

The Karolinska Inst. in Stockholm held a press conference yesterday 13 Oct 2004)on the effects of NMT mobil telephone use in a group of Swedes who have used the older NMT system (=Nordic Mobile Telephon by system) for more than 10 years. The study did not address GPS or GPRS phones. According to the Danish press "people who have used bilile phones over 10 years have nearly double the risk for developing tumors on the hearing nerves".

I enclose the pre-pub article from Dr. Fechting which was published on PubMed this week, and the press release in Swedish. I have queried them about more details, and will post them as they become available.

The subject group consisted of 150 people, who had tumors in the cochlear nerves, and the control group consisted of 600 people. Considering the population of Sweden is over 8 million, this is a very small subject group!

Electric and magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the modern society, and concerns have been expressed regarding possible adverse effects of these exposures. This review covers epidemiologic research on health effects of exposures to static, extremely low-frequency (ELF), and radio frequency (RF) fields. Research on ELF fields has been performed for more than two decades, and the methodology and quality of studies have improved over time. Studies have consistently shown increased risk for childhood leukemia associated with ELF magnetic fields, whereas ELF fields most likely are not a risk factor for breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. There are still inadequate data for other outcomes. More recently, focus has shifted toward RF exposures from mobile telephony. There are no persuasive data suggesting a health risk, but this research field is still immature with regard to the quantity and quality of available data. This technology is constantly changing and there is a need for continued research on this issue. Almost no epidemiologic data are available for static fields. Expected online publication date for the Annual Review of Public Health Volume 26 is March 17, 2005. Please see

Einige wichtige reproduzierbare Kurzzeitreaktionen auf Mobilfunkbestrahlung bei gesunden Erwachsenen:

Verklumpung der roten Blutkörperchen (Geldrollenphänomen – im Dunkelfeldmikroskop schon nach 90 Sekunden Handytelefonat zu sehen). Langanhaltende EEG-Veränderungen (z.T. tagelang) und Störung der kognitiven Leistungen nach kurzer Handybenutzung bzw. Exposition mit entsprechender Strahlung. Störung des Schlaf- Wachrhythmus, Veränderung von Blutdruck und Herzfrequenz. Signifikante Verminderung der Zahl der schnellen Spermien und Vermehrung der langsamen bei Männern, die fünf Tage lang jeweils sechs Stunden lang ein Handy am Gürtel getragen haben. Mangelnde Ausreifung roter Blutkörperchen, Verminderung der Lymphozyten, Verminderung von Melatonin (u.a. wichtig für die Krebsabwehr).

Ein weiteres alarmierendes Forschungsergebnis: Öffnung der Blut-Hirn-Schranke und Zerstörung von Neuronen im Gehirn von Ratten durch Handy-Strahlung. Das Rattengehirn ist dem menschlichen Gehirn physiologisch sehr ähnlich, und Untersuchungen über mögliche Schädigungen beim Menschen durch z.B. Medikamente werden daher oft an Ratten durchgeführt.

Darüber hinaus lassen die Art der EEG-Veränderungen beim Menschen bei Bestrahlung mit Mobilfunkwellen darauf schließen, dass auch beim Menschen die Blut-Hirn-Schranke geöffnet wird. Dies bedeutet den ungehinderten Eintritt von Umweltgiften, wie z.B. Schwermetallen in den Hirnblutkreislauf und damit eine Potenzierung der Schädigung durch Schwermetalle und Mobilfunkwellen. U.a. kann damit die derzeitige erschreckende Zunahme von Parkinson- und Alzheimerähnlichen Zuständen in Zusammenhang stehen...

Ein jederzeit nachweisbares Phänomen ist die Agglutination von Erythrozyten (Geldrollenphänomen) in der Dunkelfeld-Vitalblut-Mikroskopie als Folge von E-Smog, was gemeinsam mit spastischen Verengungen von Präkapillaren zu Durchblutungsverminderungen führt.

http://www.buergerwelle.de/d/doc/gesund/pk-esensibel.htm


Prof Salford, Lund, Schweden zeigte, dass die Blut-Hirn-Schranke, die das Gehirn vor Giftstoffen und auch körpereigenen Eiweißen schützt, selbst noch beim 20.000-fachen unter der Leistung eines Handys versagt. (Alzheimerähnliche Symptome, Geldrollenphänomen der roten Blutkörperchen nach dem Telefonieren) Hier spielen wieder die Biologischen Fenster eine wesentliche Rolle, das heißt, weniger Leistung kann mehr Schaden anrichten.

Nach 2-jähriger Leidenszeit erkannte sie die Hochfrequenzemission endlich als die eigentliche Ursache ihrer Beschwerden und floh in eine Ferienwohnung in einem noch unbelasteten Seitental im südlichen Schwarzwald, wo sie schlagartig wieder schlafen konnte und ihre Beschwerden sich bis auf die weiterbestehenden Ohrgeräusche deutlich besserten bis völlig verschwanden. In dieser Zeit entstand das untere Blutbild. Es ist nicht schwer, sich vorzustellen, daß dieses Geldrollenphänomen, welches Sie auf dem oberen Bild sehr ausgeprägt sehen, die Fließeigenschaft des Blutes drastisch verschlechtern kann, so daß es bei entsprechender Vorbelastung sogar zur Verstopfung von Gefäßen kommen kann. Als Umweltmedizinerin merke ich auf, wenn in der Frankfurter Rundschau vom 25.01. d. J. zu lesen ist, daß der Schlaganfall in Deutschland bereits die zweithäufigste Todesursache darstellt, daß im Klinikum Kassel im Jahre 1992 noch 500 Schlaganfallpatienten registriert wurden, im vergangenen Jahr waren es bereits doppelt so viele. In der Neurologischen Universitätsklinik in Minden verdoppelte sich die Zahl sogar innerhalb eines Jahres.

Es ist nicht auszuschließen, dass der Einfluß der hochfrequenten Strahlen unter den zweifelsohne vielen anderen ursächlichen Faktoren mitverantwortlich ist für diese fatale Entwicklung...

Dies wiederum kann mit Tinnitus bzw. Hörstürzen in Zusammenhang gebracht werden. Auch Augengefäßthrombosen, Linsentrübungen und Makula-Degenerationen könnten damit korrelieren. Das Problem in der Diskussion besteht darin, dass die Frage der Resonanz verschieden aufgefasst wird...

Eher durch Zufall kam ein Düsseldorfer Arzt einer anderen Folge der modernen Quasselsucht auf die Spur. Der Umweltmediziner Dr. Joachim Petersohn stellte fest, dass Patienten, die über Schlafstörungen oder Kopfschmerzen klagen, häufig Vieltelefonierer sind. Blutuntersuchungen deuten auf einen Zusammenhang hin. Er untersucht Patientenblut im Dunkelfeld-Mikroskop: "Das hier ist ein gesundes Blutbild. Die Blutkörperchen sind aktiv, bewegen sich frei und sind in der Lage, ihrer Aufgabe nachzukommen." Ein dreiminütiges Telefonat mit dem Handy reicht, um das Blutbild radikal zu verändern: "Sie erkennen deutlich den Unterschied. Die Blutkörperchen sind jetzt zusammengeklebt wie in einem Geldrollenpaket. Normalerweise stoßen sich die Blutkörperchen gegenseitig wie Pingpongbälle ab, sind mobil und aktiv. Wenn die jetzt plötzlich durch das Feld des Telefons wie magnetisch angezogen aneinanderkleben und diese Zusammenballung durch kleine Gefäße hindurch fließen muss, dann ist die Gefahr relativ hoch, dass es zu Verstopfungen kommt, also z.B. zu Thrombose, Infarkt oder Schlaganfall."

Dazu der Wiener Arzt Wolfgang Köstler: "Der Mobilfunk ist in einem Bereich impulsgetaktet, der als mechanischer Resonanzbereich der Blutgefäßwände gilt. Mir ist ein Fall eines Patienten (Geschäftsmann in der Elektronikbranche) bekannt, der täglich über viele Stunden mit seinem GSM-Handy beruflich telefonierte und, obwohl noch sehr jung an Jahren, plötzlich die Zeichen eines Schlaganfalles mit Halbseitenläsion zeigte. Er wurde auf eine neurologische Spezialstation eingeliefert, wo man aber kein Substrat für diesen Schlaganfall im Sinn eines Gefäßverschlusses oder einer Blutung - weder im Computertomographen noch in der Magnetresonanz (MRI) des Gehirns - finden konnte. Erst nach Wochen bildeten sich die Symptome langsam wieder zurück. Der Betroffene konnte für sich selbst den Zusammenhang zwischen einem stundenlangen Telefonieren mit seinem Handy und dem Schlaganfall herstellen ... Es ist auch bekannt, dass gepulste Mikrowellen zu einem Anstieg des Fibrinogenspiegels im Blut führen, was zu einer erhöhten Gerinnungsneigung des Blutes führt."

Title: Risk evaluation of potential environmental hazards from
low-energy electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure using sensitive in vitro methods

Subject Index: Environmental Protection; Life Sciences; Medicine, Health; Safety

Objective: Electromagnetic field (EMF) has become a topic of Europe-wide discussion. The latter has created uncertainty regarding possible adverse health effects for both the population and industry. Current research is characterized by conflicting data from epidemiological and animal studies, especially with respect to possible risk of cancer at different sites and neurological disorders. Clearly, mere continuation or replication of research, without introducing innovative concepts, will prolong the uncertainty as to whether EMFS do, or do not, represent a health risk. The results of this joint project, which will investigate molecular and functional responses of living cells to EMFS in vitro by applying state-of-the-art methods of molecular biology and toxicology, are needed urgently for molecular epidemiological studies, which are probably the only path to a reliable risk estimate for possible effects of EMFS on human health.

A team from the Karolinska Institute headed by Prof. Anders Ahlbom has found that the long-term use of mobile phones may indeed lead to higher rates of cancer --specifically acoustic neuromas.

This important news will be officially released at a press conference in Stockholm tomorrow, Wednesday October 13.

I encourage you to read our complete story which is now posted on our Web site. Simply go to http://www.microwavenews.com.

"Biologically Bizzare"?

It is interesting to note that Prof. Anders Ahlbom who led the study, and who is also an ICNIRP member http://www.icnirp.de/cv.htm , stood behind the quotation that the thought that cell phones might be able to cause brain tumors is "biologically bizzare". (Gunni Nordstrom, "The Invisible Disease".)

I don't think he will say that again.

and

The commercial T.V channel reported yesterday about the new study, and Dr. Sigal Sadezki, the epidemiologist who leads the Israeli arm of the INTERPHONE study said that the findings of benign tumors do not prove that it causes malignant tumors.

It is acually a change that she admits that the phone's radiation actually does something because she used to say that no study is good enough to convince her that there is damage. A year after, she said that it is not proved that there is damage and it is not refuted that there is damage. That was her line until yesterday. In a parliment committe she said some time ago that although she doesn't say there is damage, she cannot ignore the study that was published in the scientific peer reviewed journal [she meant Hardell study] "that found what it found" as she put it, without saying the word cancer.

The cellular companies response was that they have all the approvals.

The two big national newspapers did not write a word about the study today, it is not clear whether they will write something in the coming days. Haaretz newspaper did report it, with small headlines and a short item.

Dr. Savitz urges caution on cell phones and children???

In reference to the last message from Microwave News about the latest cell phone research by the Karolinska Institute take special note of Dr. David Savitz's ill-conceived, and ill thought out attempt to down play the study. Sure to go into his "things I should not have said" file!

After he called the findings "still highly unlikely" he went on to state:

"This uncertainty regarding long-term use should not distract from the growing evidence, enhanced by this study, that neither acoustic neuroma nor brain tumors is associated with cell phone use of less than ten years."

Well, fine - so its okay to give my 12 year old son a cell phone provided I take it off him when he is 21. (?)

If we can take Dr. Savitz at his words then it may be forgivable to assume that he is now advising against selling children cell phones?

David - expect a call from Motorola ASAP!

Dear Don

I am sure you are aware of the acoustic neuroma study from the Karolinska institute. Here is an earlier email sent to others in our EMF concerned community (3 attachments included):

Best regards,

I am attaching the full text (unfortunately without the tables and figures) of the acoustic neuroma study from Epidemiology and a David Savitz commentary from the same journal. The highlights are mine. I will obtain the tables and figures, but it will be sometime next week before I can do so.

I believe the most important aspect of this report is that while they have a very strong finding for use of a cellphone for 10 years or more, they also report that cumulative hours of use of cumulative number of uses does not show an increased risk. How could this be?

My interpretation: cellphones are showing the classic latency time from exposure to tumor diagnoses seen with known carcinogens. My concern: the classic latency time is 25 years (2 or 3 decades). If we are seeing such a dramatic effect at 10 years, what will the increased risk show in another 15 years?

It is also well known that the increased risk for children exposed to a known carcinogen (e.g., ionizing radiation) is far larger than adults receiving the same exposure. I am attaching a presentation received from Kjell Hasson-Mild (from BEMS 2004 meeting). It shows a 6 fold risk for 20 years olds, but a more like a 1.5 fold risk for older groups (see slide 7). While this presentation is not statistically strong (at least not to the 95% confidence level) the shape of the graph is quite suggestive of similar cancer data from ionizing radiation.

Finally, I have the number of USA cellphone subscribers in 6-month increments since the inception of cellphones. I did a "what if" calculation. What if cellphones doubled the risk of brain tumors and the latency time is 10 years. This would increase the number of brain tumors by slightly less than 1%. One percent is within the margin of error for incidence rates. In other words, at 10 years, no increase in overall incidence of brain tumors would be detectable. That an increase is being detected implied either that the risk is more than a doubling, or the latency time is less than 10 years or both.

The Swedish study has finally reached the Danish media. I had several interviews this morning with journalists from radio and newspapers. One from the press bureau Ritzau, the main supplier of news items to Danish media. So it will certainly reached all the other papers. I stressed the danger of mobilphones and children and that more Danish research was necessary on this subject. However, my proposal for such a research project was turned down by the Research grant committee fro Mobilphone research. I also gave them the 2 comments on this list following the information about this study. I also referred to the Leukaemia and Children meeting and the outcome.

To those who understand Danish (=Scandinavians) I will send the Danish newspaper article.

If any of you hasn't read Dr George Carlo (you will have heard of him), "Cell Phones. Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age" 2001, (£9.54 from Amazon) do.

Carlo was appointed in 1993 by the US telecoms industry to allay the fears of mobile phone users through scientific research. Carlo is a public health scientist, epidemiologist and lawyer, so no fly-by-night. In June 1999 he stood up in public and instead announced his findings that mobile phones cause cancer and that no-one should hold one to their head. Ever.

Could you wish for a more competent whistle-blower? Recent studies confirming acoustic neuromas from ten years' use only add to what he said. What emerges from the industry in fighting him, is only repeated in our BBC3 programme with T-Mobile etc. This industry will trash the best scientists, hence what they are doing to Trower, Hyland, Johansson even now. And every would-be whistleblower, and every MTHR scientist knows it too.

Eventually, like our Venezuela surgeons, as with those reporting from Hayward's Heath in Sussex, we will all just "know" in the face of industry denial. Will it stop phones being used so much and start masts coming down? Watch your Christmas TV adverts and tell your friends and family not to use mobile phones. Not so easy is it?
