Die Auswirkungen elektromagnetischer Felder von Mobilfunksendeanlagen auf Leistung, Gesundheit und Verhalten landwirtschaftlicher Nutztiere: Eine Bestandsaufnahme

Die Bundesregierung bewertet in Ihrer Bundestagsdrucksache 15/1403 http://www.bmu.de/strahlenschutz/parl_vorgaenge/content/7880.php#antraege wie folgt: ... "Von besonderem Interesse ist hierbei eine Veröffentlichung zu Rindern (Löscher / Käs 1998), in welcher erheblich reduzierte Milcherträge, Auszehrung sowie spontane Fehl- und Totgeburten dokumentiert wurden. Von besonderer Relevanz sind die folgenden Sachverhalte: – Der Gesundheitszustand der Rinder verbesserte sich erheblich, nachdem sie auf Weideland gebracht wurden, das weit entfernt von dem Sendemast lag, verschlechterte sich jedoch sofort wieder bei Rückkehr an den alten Standort; – die negativen gesundheitlichen Effekte traten erst auf, nachdem auf einem Turm GSM-Mikrowellenantennen installiert wurden, der zuvor lediglich für die Übertragung (analoger) TV- und Radiosignale genutzt worden war."

"Auch in anderen Dokumenten wird von ähnlichen gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen auf Rinder berichtet (Firstenberg 2000). Schließlich wird über Rückgänge von Vogel- und Bienenpopulationen nach Inbetriebnahme neuer Basisstationsmasten berichtet. Das Auftreten negativer Effekte bei Tieren ist deshalb von besonderer Relevanz, weil dadurch deutlich wird, dass die Effekte möglicherweise real und nicht nur psychosomatischer Genese sind. Darüber hinaus könnte aus der oftmals höheren Elektrosensitivität von Tieren im Vergleich zum Menschen gefolgert werden, dass die bei Tieren innerhalb eines relativ kurzen Zeitraumes aufgetretenen gesundheitlichen Probleme darauf hindeuten, dass eine Langzeitexposition beim Menschen ähnliche Folgen haben könnte."

During most of September I was overseas attending two international conferences and several other meetings in the UK and Russia. If time permits I hope to be reporting on these conferences but my University studies will need to take "centre stage" with my time from now on. This information list will continue however, but perhaps with a lower volume of traffic!

The two conferences and some points of interest to me were:

1) "Children with Leukaemia, Scientific Conference-Incidence, causal mechanisms and prevention" Church House, Westminister, London, 6-10 Sept.

In his keynote address to the conference Sir William Stewart, chair of the IEGMP mobile phone report (2000) hit out at the mobile phone lobby for their (mis) reporting of his group's recommendations, with statements such as: "the Stewart report says there are no adverse health effect for mobile phones". He said there are biological effects below the current exposure guidelines, and people can vary in their susceptibility. He had warned that children may be more susceptible, and should limit their use of mobile phones - a recommendation that the UK government did not take up, possibly because of the $ billions the govt. is getting from the industry.

In his speech, Sir William also said, "Don't ignore non-peer reviewed findings." These have to be carefully independently confirmed, and have to be put to the public "simply and clearly". Not only the results reporting impacts of mobile phones on health need to be independently confirmed, but also negative findings of no impacts. At the moment, there is a bias towards accepting negative findings without question.

Now that Stewart is the new head of the NRPB perhaps we will see some positive changes there.

The poster papers (many dealing with EMF) that were presented at the, "Children with Leukaemia Scientific Conference, 6-10 September 2004, incidence, causal mechanisms and prevention" are now available for downloading on the web site.

First see the home page:
http://www.leukaemiaconference.org/main.asp

The Poster Papers are available at:
http://www.leukaemiaconference.org/programme/poster_list.asp

2) International conference: Mobile Communication and Health: medical, biological and social problems, Moscow, Sept 20-23.

One of the highlights of the this conference was the insistence of the Russian scientists, especially Yuri Grigoriev from the RNCNIRP and the Russian Academy of Science) that the issue of children's use of mobile phones was an urgent item that needed urgent attention. Many strong statements were made on the dangers faced by the unrestricted use of mobiles by young people. A vastly differing opinion was expressed however by Motorola's Mays Swicord with a poster presentation that in so many words expressed Motorola's corporate view that kids are no different than adults in regards to non-ionizing radiation so its okay to sell them cell phones (hopefully Motorola models I suppose). It reminded me of a classic quote:

"All scientists know of colleagues whose minds are so well equipped with the means of refutation that no new idea has the temerity to seek admittance. Their contribution to science is accordingly very small."

Peter Medawar, A Note on 'The Scientific Method' (1949), see: The Uniqueness of the Individual, New York, Dover, 1981

So, stay tuned!

Rats exposed to mobile phones for two hours showed brain damages that persisted 50 days later. But current exposure standards are still highly inadequate to protect the public. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho reports

Sources for this article are posted on ISIS members' website. Details here.

Mobile phones "the largest human biologic experiment"

Researchers found "highly significant" evidence for damages to brain cells in rats exposed for 2 hrs to microwaves from mobile phones; and these damages were still seen 50 days after the exposure.

One quarter of the world's population is now exposing themselves to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones. The research team in Lundt University, Sweden, led by Leif Salford, referred to this as "the largest human biologic experiment ever". They point out that soon, microwaves will be emitted by an abundance of other appliances in the `cordless' office and in the home.

Most researchers have concentrated on the question of whether radiofrequency electromagnetic fields can induce or promote cancer, but the evidence appears conflicting.

Sir William Stewart hit out at mobile phones lobby but exposure limits still highly inadequate

In his keynote address to a Children with Leukemia conference in September 2004,

Sir William Stewart, who chaired an enquiry that resulted in the Stewart Report on Mobile Phones and Health in 2000, hit out at the mobile phones lobby for reporting that, "Stewart report says there are no adverse health effect for mobile phones". He said there are biological effects below the current exposure guidelines, and people can vary in their susceptibility. He had warned that children may be more susceptible, and should limit their use of mobile phones.

In his speech, he also said, "Don't ignore non-peer reviewed findings." These have to be carefully independently confirmed, and have to be put to the public "simply and clearly". Not only the results reporting impacts of mobile phones on health need to be independently confirmed, but also negative findings of no impacts. At the moment, there is a bias towards accepting negative findings without question.

A recent health survey carried out in La Ňora, Mucia, Spain, nearly two 900/1800Mhz mobile phone base stations showed statistically association between the measured electric field and a number of symptoms, especially depressive tendency, fatigue, sleeping disorder, difficulty in concentration and cardiovascular problems, and also loss of memory, visual disorder and dizziness. It confirms the findings of several earlier published studies. On the basis of this work, D. Oberfeld Gerd of the Public Health Department of Salzburg, Austria, is advising a reduction of exposure levels to no more than 1 microWatt/m2. The current exposure limit set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) Guidelines is 10 W/m2, or 10 million times that recommended.

Sir William now chairs the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB), which is being merged into the Health Agency. The NRPB is due to publish advice to the government that the ICNIRP standards - already shown to be highly inadequate - should be adopted for the UK. As the NRPB's own report admits, the standards are "intended to prevent adverse effects due to excessive whole- and partial-body heating", totally ignoring non- thermal effects, which are increasingly documented in many laboratories all over the world.

Mobile phones undermine the blood-brain barrier

Lundt and colleagues have been studying the effects of 915MHz radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in rats since 1988. "In a series of more than 1,600 animals, we have proven that subthermal power densities from both pulse- modulated and continuous RF EMFs - including those from ...mobile phones - have the potency to significantly open the blood-brain barrier such that the animal's own albumin passes out of the bloodstream into the brain tissue and accumulates in the neurons and glial cells surrounding the capillaries."

These results have been duplicated in at least two other laboratories. One group showed that the animals' own albumin injected into the brain of rats led to damage of the neurons at the site of injection when the concentration of albumin in the injected solution is at least 25% of that in the blood.

Brain damage persists 50 days after exposure

In a study published in June 2003, Salford and colleagues exposed rats to RF EMF in special transverse electromagnetic transmission line chambers (TEM-cells) designed by scaling down previously constructed cells at the National Bureau of Standards. These cells generate uniform EMF s for standard measurements. A mobile phone with a programmable power output was connected via a coaxial cable to the TEM-cell; and no voice modulation was applied. The TEM-cell is enclosed in a wooden box (15x15x15 cm) that supports the outer conduction and central plate. The outer conductor is made of brass net and is attached to the inner walls of the box. The centre plate, or septum, is made of aluminium. The TEM cells were placed in a temperature-controlled room, where room air is circulated through holes in the wooden box.

The rats were placed in plastic trays (12x12x7cm) to avoid contact with the central plate and outer conductor. Thirty-two male and female Fisher 344 rats 12-26 weeks old and weighing 282 + 91 gm were divided into four groups of eight rats each. Three experimental groups of rats were exposed to peak power densities of 0.24, 2.4 and 24 W/m2, resulting in average whole-body SARs (specific absorption rates) of 2mW/kg, 20 mW/kg and 200 mW/kg respectively. The fourth (control) group of rats was simultaneously kept for 2 hr in non-activated TEM-cells. The animals in each exposure group were allowed to survive for about 50 days after exposure and carefully observed daily for neurologic and behavioural abnormalities.

At the end of the period, the brains were removed and sectioned and stained.

The exposed rat brain showed multiple spots of albumin leaking out from the blood vessels. On high power, dark, dead neurons can be seen interspersed with the living ones. There is an apparent dose-response relationship between the level of exposure and the number of dead neurons found.

Previous studies by the same group showed that albumin leakage into the brain occurs within hours after exposure in about 40% of the animals. But in the present study, there is still albumin leakage after 50 days. This suggests that there might have been a "vicious circle" started by the initial leakage, leading to long lasting effects.

Teenagers most affected

The researchers pointed out that 12-26 week old rats are comparable in age to human teenagers, the most frequent users of mobile phones. This level of damage to the nerve cells is worrying, as "it may result in reduced brain reserve capacity". In other words, the teenagers' brains may age prematurely. A study by retail analysts Mintel found that up to 80% of 11 to 14 year-olds have a mobile phone in the United Kingdom.

There is now evidence that a wide range of frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum can have biological effects from DNA damage in brain cells to childhood leukemia (see "Electromagnetic fields, leukaemia & DNA damage", this series).

I think we are slowly moving forwards. Here are a few signs:

>From the Children's Leukaemia conference in London:
It has been established that ELF-EMF especially from powerlines, is one of the causes of children's leukaemia. Read Anders Ahlbom's lecture on their website.

Vladimir Binhi said the non-linear dose response in case of RF is an indication for the exixtence of non-thermal effects.

>From the COST 281 meeting on Exposure Assessment in Paris:
- SAR is unsuitable for exposure assessment on humans - all the present models and calculations are not realistic - it would be better to use MRI on living persons - so this renders ICNIRP's and other safety limits, based on SAR, invalid. These conclusions came from representatives from industry and there was general agreement among the participants
- Several engineers presented their models and calculations on EMF/RF radiation exposure. Each was different and the engineers could not agree.
- In Germany a test was done on 6 different measuring apparatus, currently used by the telecom industry, health authorities, other authorities to measure RF exposure in the environment. It turned out that there were considerable differences between the various measurements, and impossible to say which one was correct. So whom can we trust if they say that safety limits are not exceeded?
- COST recommended to run a study to investigate people's complaints about RF radiation from mobilphones and basestations by registering their complaints with the help of questionnaires. This was exactly what I proposed when applying for the Danish government research grant, but that was turned down. Very similar to the Santini and Gomez-Peretta studies. In England there is a group of ordinary citizens that will do the same type of study.
- From the STM project on Children and Mobilphones: there should not be focuss on braincancer only, but also on whole-body exposure. This means that it is as dangerous to carry a mobilphone anywhere else on the body, headsets are not sufficient any more. But what about masts? There are still no specific studies published on Children and Mobilphones.
- EMF-NET a new EU programme under the 6th Framework. The purpose of this programme is to inform the ordinary citizen about biological and health effects and everything else about EMF and RF in a language they can understand. It should be based on scientific information and information from other sources. This program is getting much more money than COST 281, so a competitor to COST. Why should EU choose to use so much money for this now, if it is not because there are serious threats? Several people who used to be very active supporters for the theory "no proof for any danger from RF" were silent or absent. Have they seen the Writing on the Wall?
- The biological and health effects due to RF exposure are certainly not due to heat and many agreed to that. So what should we call them? Non-thermal effects is politically not correct. Maybe we may look at them in term of energy? Other proposals?
- Others also found inexplicable effects on the cell cycle, like I did.

In Denmark: the Health council has just published a message: Mobilphones are dangerous for children and children should use the them as little as possible. Why suddenly this, in spite of the fact that there are no peer-reviewed articles in "good" scientific journals. Is it because it is a politically correct message now to parents and voters?

In a recent review article Kundi, Mild, Hardell et al. analysed 9 Mobilphones and braincancerstudies. It showed that the conclusions from most of these articles that there is no connection between mobile phones and braincancer was based on incorrect statistical and methodological analysis. These are actually the articles used by the Health authorities, Cancer associations, telecom industry etc. to claim that mobilphones are harmless.

At several meetings I met people from various countries, who told me that they all knew me in their countries. They were ordinary people, people from industry, from governmental bodies etc. The ordinary people said how much they appreciated that there was a scientist that would tell the truth in spite of pressure from outside. Of course I am aware that I am not the only one. Nevertheless I am very grateful for this, because it showed that many know that there is also a RF- EMF battle going on in Denmark and I wish to thank all who have contributed to spread this message.

Diese Studie verschwand in den Schubladen der Behörden!

Die Studie kommt zu dem Schluss:

"Abschließend kann eingeschätzt werden, dass das EMF als ein stiller Disstressor bewertet werden kann, dessen bioaktiver Effekt von verschiedenen Faktoren abhängig ist und dessen pathogene Wirkung erst nach Jahren sichtbar wird. Bezüglich des Symptomatik bestehen Ähnlichkeiten mit dem Chronischen Müdigkeitssyndrom (Chronic Fatigue Syndrom CFS)."

Grenzwerte BRD: 4,7 bzw. 9,5W/m2 - ehemalige Sowjetunion: 0,004 W/m2

In der früheren Sowjetunion lagen die Grenzwerte im Bereich der Salzburger Vorsorgewerte - und das nicht ohne Grund...!

Für russische Wissenschaftler gelten sogenannte athermische Effekte als selbstverständliche Wissensgrundlage...
