國際著名的環境健康學者蕾薇施博士（Dr Devra Lee Davis）兩個月前出了一本名為《拆線》（Disconnect），講述手提電話對人體健康影響的著作。

曾經是流行病學教授的蕾薇施博士，目前是美國好幾所大學的客卿講師，其中包括了美國的哈佛和喬治市等名校。在其大半生的學術研究和事業裡，積極的投入精神與努力，尤其是環境對於人體健康的重要課題。

《拆線》一書提到，目前全球大約共有40億位手機使用者。這個通常都放在口袋和緊貼耳朵和頭部的通訊儀器，就像極了安置在我們身旁的小型電訊塔，全天候的向我們的身體發射電磁波。更令人擔憂的是，有整20億的手機用戶是20歲以下的青少年和孩童。

蕾薇施博士的《拆線》開始出售時，正好是檳州電磁波輻射公害防護聯盟正在草擬着提呈給大馬通訊與多媒體委員會有關於電磁波輻射的準則、要求與規劃等相關的懸而未決的事項。

手機和無線上網的普及，使到新世紀的全球人類都得面對大量的電磁波輻射的影響。然而，就像美國這樣一個被喻為全球科學與工藝最為先進的國家，對於手機的安全準則令人驚訝和不解的還停留在整30年前的標準。

大馬通訊與多媒體委員會這一次在其官方網站發佈訊息，接受來至於公眾對於電磁波輻射問題的建議，是值得讚賞的。當然，我們更是希望當局是有誠意和魄力去解決，一直以來困擾著人民百姓的電磁波輻射的問題和威脅。

政策的改變和改善需要一股強大的力量！檳州電磁波輻射公害防護聯盟義不容辭的向大馬通訊與多媒體委員會提出具體的建議的同時，更是希望那些如今已經掌權了的火箭諸公，能夠扮演積極、務實和負責任的態度，向有關當局提出他們的意見和看法，包括必要的施壓。

一再延長非法電訊塔寬限期的檳州政府，這一次會總結火箭從在野到在朝對電訊塔和電磁波輻射的經驗，提呈解決方案給當局嗎? 還是會繼續縱容它的蜀中大將放話用煽動法令來抓反電訊塔的人士?

And Now … Tinnitus

June 30

Users of cell phones have another reason to be cautious. An Austrian team has found that the risk of developing tinnitus, a ringing in the ears, doubled after four years. This is one of the first epidemiological studies to investigate the long-term effects of mobile phones on hearing.

Hans-Peter Hutter of the Institute of Environmental Health at the Medical University of Vienna, and coworkers report that the observed association is "unlikely" to be spurious and could have important implications for public health. Their new epidemiological study, based on 100 cases and 100 controls, will appear in an upcoming issue of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

The "possible association of mobile phone use and tinnitus is plausible," according to Hutter, "because the cochlea [the inner ear] and the auditory pathway are located in an anatomical region where a considerable amount of the power emitted by mobile phones is absorbed." The risk of tinnitus was greatest on the side of the head the phone was used. The doubling of the incidence after long-term use is of borderline statistical significance. Hutter also raises the possibility that other factors may be responsible: For instance, blood flow near the ear could be affected when the user is in a constrained posture while on the phone.

Two large European research projects, GUARD and EMFnEAR, have investigated the possible impact of cell phones on human hearing. But both have focused on short-term exposures —mostly for just 10 or 20 minutes— and have generally found no effects (see, for example, a recent paper in Radiation Research.) These two projects cost a total of $3-4 million.

Michael Kundi, the head of the Vienna institute and a coauthor of the new study, told Microwave News that more studies of long-term exposures and hearing are needed. "It is complete nonsense to look for short-term effects," he said. Kundi explained that the lack of studies on prolonged use of cell phones is not surprising, given the official view that microwaves can only cause heating. "If the position is that thermal effects are all that count, there cannot be long-term effects," he said.

A 2007 study of students in the U.K. found no increase in tinnitus or adverse effects on hearing and balance. Tinnitus is more common among older people.

Dect Phones and Microwave Radiation on the Electrosensitive

magdahavas — March 23, 2010 — Study shows, unequivocally, that microwave radiation from a cordless DECT phone immediately affects the heart causing arrhythmia and tachycardia (irregular and rapid heart rate) at non-thermal levels well below federal guidelines.

WiFi in schools and health effects of microwave radiation

magdahavas — April 27, 2010 — In this video, Trent University professor Dr. Magda Havas and Dr. Fred Gilbert from Lakehead University explain why wireless technologies known as WiFi should not be used in schools because of the known health effects from microwave radiation. Testimonials are also provided by the students of Mountain View School who feel that their ill health could be directly related to microwave radiation emitted by the wireless internet transmission towers that have been installed inside the school.

WiFi concerns at Mountain View School in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada

Hello Everyone,

As some of you already know, there are several students in Mountain
View School in Collingwood, Ontario (Canada) who are complaining about
ill health after the school installed WiFi. Rodney, a concerned
father, invited me to give a talk in the Community this past week and
the room was packed with parents, health care professionals, people
from the community, and the media so I hope it will generate more
interest once the articles begin to appear.

See video clip of interviews with some of the students at the school.

See video documenting tachycardia in adults during provocation with a
cordless (DECT) phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EI9fZX4iww

What is disturbing is that several students have complained about ill
health, two students are now on heart medication and one young girl is
scheduled for heart surgery on Monday June 14th. A student in a
Toronto school (also with WiFi) fainted while standing in the hallway
near a WiFi antenna. The students with heart conditions have been
diagnosed with one of the following: vaso vagal syndrome,
supraventicular tachycardia (SVT), or Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW)
Syndrome (abnormal connections or accessory pathways in the heart) a
form of atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT).

Symptoms for SVT include: dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain,
a pounding sensation in the throat or neck, weakness, fatigue,
lightheadedness, fainting (especially in the case of underlying heart
disease) and resemble EHS symptoms.

Prevelance rate for tachycardia is about 1.6% to 2% for adults.

Prevelance for WPW is 0.15% in children. See:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2363719/ Epidemiology of
Arrhythmias in Children, by R Prem Sekar. Indian Pacing Electrophysiol
J. 2008 Apr–Jun; 8(Suppl. 1): S8–S13.

I recently heard that all the schools in my district (Kawartha Pine
Ridge) are going to have WiFi installed soon. Where are these schools
getting information that this technology is safe? I find this
situation most disturbing. If these heart conditions are related to
WiFi then I think the schools and those who make the statement that
this radiation is safe (Health Canada and local Health Boards) are
culpable.

Have received emails from several of the people who attended the
presentation this past week and learned that some parents are also
having heart palpitations and rapid heart rate because of WiFi in the
home. They didn't know this was contributing to their heart problems
and have, since the talk, disconnected their wireless devices.

Why are doctors not better informed? Anyone who suddenly experiences
a heart irregularity should be asked some specific questions about
whether or not they have wireless routers, cordless phones, energy
efficient CFL bulbs, nearby cell towers, etc. as routine questioning.

The heart problem (arrhythmia or tachycardia), which can be easily
measured, may be a very important test for those who are EHS. Please
spread the word and ask your friends if they experience symptoms of an
irregular or racing heart and if they do ask them when it started,
what changed at that time, if it is occassional-when they experience
it and what they are doing about it. The more information we can
gather the more impact it is going to have on school boards. Getting
rid of WiFi is more difficult than preventing it from being allowed
into a school in the first place.

Please distribute this email to your friends and let's get a better
understanding as to how widespread this heart problem is and the
degree to which it relates to wireless technology and electrosmog
exposure.

Thanks for your help,
-magda

p.s. If you or someone you know is experiencing heart problems, which
may be related to electrosmog, please contact me with your symptoms
and your experience and send a copy to: info@safeschool.ca

International EMF Conference 2009 Stavanger Norway PhD Henry Lai

This video is for educational purpose. The video is taken from the International EMF Conference 17th of November 2009 in Stavanger, Norway. Speaker in this video is PhD Henry Lai (USA). The conference was held at Clarion Hotel with several international speakers talking in the subject of EMF-Electromagnetic Fields and radiation. The exposure to electromagnetic radiation has been documented to have major biological effects on living tissue. The exponential increase in the use of wireless technologies will most likely present serious, global public health consequences in the near future. Despite mounting evidence of severe health effects, the scientific facts are generally ignored by most governments. For pure commercial reasons, the Telecom industry continues to refer to outdated and irrelevant safety standards, blissfully endorsed by their respective regulators.
