Court May Rule In Favor Of Disabled Man Who Worked Long Hours Using A Mobile and Cordless Phone
Qlink Pendant : www.emfnews.org SmartMeters: www.emfnews.org Home Radiation Protection : www.emfnews.org Today, for the first time, a Labour Tribunal recognized the occupational origin of the illness of a man who for ten years was a company executive in Brescia. He worked for long hours using a mobile and a cordless phone. Today, for the first time, a Labour Tribunal recognized the occupational origin of the disease of a man who for ten years was a company executive in Brescia. He worked for long hours using a cell phone and a cordless phone. The man, Innocenzo Marcolini, 57, had a benign tumor on the trigeminal nerve. Surgery saved him but the consequences on his quality of life are terrible. He is partially compensated by this victory against INAIL (the Italian Labour Insurance) that recognizes the 80% of disability caused by his occupation. This is the first time a judge has recognized the causal link and the subsequent declaration of disability due to occupational exposure to EMFs. The information on this court case comes from the biologist Angelo Levis, Professor of Mutagenesis at the University of Padua, an authority on the effects of EMFs on human health. He and Joseph Grasso, a neurosurgeon from Brescia, were called as expert witnesses for the plaintiff. He recounts that he was contacted three years ago by two people, one from Brescia and one from Cremona, who had very similar jobs to that of Mr Innocenzo Marcolini. They worked in customer services, and made ...
Cordless Phones, Wireless Computer Router Dangers
Qlink Pendant : www.emfnews.org Qlink Pendant Reviews: www.emfnews.org Home Radiation Protection : www.emfnews.org Cordless phones, wireless computer routers and especially the citywide high-speed wireless network and smart meters being installed in Stratford all pose a health risk due to microwave radiation, he said, pointing to short-term effects such as headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, muscle and joint pain and dizziness and longer-term effects such as various cancers, depression and anxiety and heart and cardiovascular problems. "It's probably the most significant environmental health problem that we have today," he said. Being elected mayor will afford him the opportunity to better educate citizens about the dangers they face from electric and electromagnetic emissions, said Weatherall, who for the last four years has been the co-director of WEEP, a Canadian non- profit organization dedicated to informing the public about the potential environmental effects associated with them. "People have to know how dangerous this is," he said, "and we have to find a way to make this city safe. Someone's got to make a start." Weatherall said he recognizes he may be seen as a one-issue candidate but suggested he has more to offer. "A councillor or mayor needs to have common sense and experience in life to be able to judge municipal issues and I think I've got that background," said Weatherall, who served for seven years with the British Royal Navy and 28 years with ...
Austrian Research Shows DECT Cordless Phones Are The Most Dangerous
Qlink Pendant : www.emfnews.org SmartMeters: www.emfnews.org Home Radiation Protection : www.emfnews.org In contrast to the Swiss study referred to in a previous news item, in a survey of bedrooms in Austria, the research team headed by Dr Johannes Tomitsch found that by far the highest source of RF exposure came from DECT phones. Powerfrequency fields as well as radiofrequency fields were measured. The findings High electric fields were mainly from bedside lamps. Magnetic fields over 0.1 microtesla were in 2.3% of homes; the fields from transformers inside the house, or powerlines outside. Radiofrequency levels above 0.6 V/m were found in 7.1% of homes. 3.3 V/m came from DECT phones and 1.4% from mobile phone masts. Precautionary advice Make sure bedside lights are earthed. Use 3-core cable. Magnetic fields of 0.1 microtesla are at our very precautionary level for bedrooms. There is nothing you can do about powerlines, but keeping transformers out of bedrooms will reduce this level further. Remember magnetic fields travel through walls, so be careful about the new place you move it to. People have been found to be sensitive to radiofrequency EMFs of 0.5 V/m. Electrically sensitive people react at levels lower than this. 3.3 V/m and 1.4 V/m exceed levels at which people experience adverse health symptoms. If you feel this situation applies to you, you could return to an ordinary landline telephone, or buy a low-emission cordless phone (such as the Orchid phone) if you ...
Second Hand Radiation Protection, Cordless Phones and Cell Phones
www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org The focus on mobile phones has distracted attention from the cordless phone, which has insinuated itself into positions where they could cause the most harm. Cordless phones are typically placed on the desktop or at the bedside, where people are maximally exposed to radiation intensities hundreds and thousands of times stronger than those from nearby cell phone transmitters sufficient to cause cancers. And they are emitting continuously 24 hours a day. Anecdotal evidence has been emerging of people suffering illnesses such as chronic fatigue and sleep disturbance [19], which are very similar to those from mobile phones. An experiment carried out at Landau University in Germany showed that bees failed to return to the hives when cordless phone base stations are placed in them [7]. Experts demand health warning on cordless phones The current digital enhanced cordless telephone (DECT) sold in Europe consists of one or more handsets that communicate with a base station via radio waves in the microwave range. The base station emits (broadcasts) microwave radiation at full power pulses100 times a second as long as it is plugged into the wall socket. There have been calls for health warning on DECTs [19, 20], if not an outright ban (see later). DECTs or similar phones are now widely used throughout the world. Independent measurements have been carried out on the power of the microwaves emitted, the most thorough by Thomas Haumann (Umweltanlaytik ...
EMFs : Is Your Cordless Phone Really A Miniature Cell Phone Tower?
electricsense.com Cordless Phones And Electro-magnetic Pollution Cellphones, cell phone towers and WiFi hotspots -- are commonly cited as examples of technologies which emit electromagnetic radiation and are causing people to become 'electrosensitive'. But what about your cordless (DECT) phone? Well they use just the same wireless technology. Shouldn't we stop to consider what effect that these wireless technologies have on us, particularly regarding our health? Electromagnetic pollution: A Reality We Cannot Neglect More and more people are becoming electrosensitive, that is, having a high sensitivity to electromagnetic frequencies emitted by emfs. Electrosensitivity in a person develops due to wide exposure to electrosmog caused wireless devices like computers, routers, cellphones, cordless phones and many electrical devices in your home. Other things that worsen electrosmog include Wi-Fi areas, cellphone antennas and towers. The radiation emitted by these devices and structures are harmful enough to cause detrimental effects on one's health - and one of these effects comes in the form of electrosensitivity. Can This Cause Electrical Sickness? Electrosensitivity is a condition that results to symptoms such as irritability, constant pain, fatigue, feelings of tiredness, loss of memory, difficulty in concentration, cardiovascular problems and visual problems. Excessive exposure to electromagnetic radiation can cause more problems like Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. This ...
Radiation :Cordless (DECT) Phone Worse Than Cell Phone
electricsense.com Cordless Phones And Electromagnetic Pollution Cell phones, cell phone towers and wireless hotspots -- are commonly cited as examples of technologies which emit radiation and are causing people to become 'electrosensitive'. But what about cordless or DECT phones. Well they use exactly the same wireless technology. Isn't it about time that we began to consider what effect that these wireless technologies have on us, particularly regarding our health? Electromagnetic pollution radiates all around you and it is this 'electrosmog' that is causing electrosensitivity in people. Electrosmog In Your Body Electrosmog envelops us every minute of every day. It is in our homes, neighbourhoods, workplaces, and even outside and it is still uncertain what long-term effects it has on our health and DNA. Electromagnetic radiation has become so common that it is virtually impossible to avoid it. Having a cordless phone in your house adds to that. The Symptoms Of Electrosensitiviy Electrosensitivity may cause many various symptoms such as: cardiovascular disruptions, headaches, tiredness, irritability, disequilibrium, visual problems and sleeping disturbances. And the symptoms only get worse when it comes to long-term exposure. Electromagnetic Pollution From Cordless Phones Swedish scientists have found that cordless (DECT) phones raise the risk of developing cancer. Reserchers studied malignant brain tumor patients' usage of cell phones and their usage of cordless phones ...
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) & DECT cordless phone
www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org In mid July I was contacted by a female who was on a waiting list to see an ACNEM affiliated doctor specializing in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). She was very concerned that she may have to sell her home because she thought that her insomnia and fatigue had something to do with her house and the possibility of excessive EMF exposure was uppermost in her mind. I asked her about the usual sources of exposure, such as electric blanket use at night, heated water beds, proximity to powerlines, location of the meter box, etc. All seemed okay until I asked if any appliances were by the bed. She revealed that some months earlier she had purchased a DECT cordless phone which was now on the bedside table. As I had previously spoken with two people in Hobart who had encountered sleep problems after purchasing a DECT phone and having it by the bed, I advised her to replace the DECT phone with a traditional wired telephone. Upon checking back with her in late August, she reported that she had removed the DECT phone and was sleeping much better. However, as she had also started treatment for her CFS at about the same time, it is impossible to draw any conclusions about possible reasons for the improvement. As a result of the widespread use of DECT phones in Australian homes, it is essential that medical practitioners working with patients who are having fatigue and sleep problems, for whatever reason, advise them not to use DECT phones as a ...
Headaches, Migraines, Chronic Exhaustion & DECT Cordless Phone
www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Out of great concern for the health of our fellow human beings do we - as established physicians of all fields, especially that of environmental medicine - turn to the medical establishment and those in public health and political domains, as well as to the public. We have observed, in recent years, a dramatic rise in severe and chronic diseases among our patients, especially: • Learning, concentration, and behavioural disorders (eg attention deficit disorder, ADD) • Extreme fluctuations in blood pressure, ever harder to influence with medications • Heart rhythm disorders • Heart attacks and strokes among an increasingly younger population • Brain-degenerative diseases (eg Alzheimer--s) and epilepsy • Cancerous afflictions: leukemia, brain tumors Moreover, we have observed an ever-increasing occurrence of various disorders, often misdiagnosed in patients as psychosomatic: • Headaches, migraines • Chronic exhaustion • Inner agitation • Sleeplessness, daytime sleepiness • Tinnitus • Susceptibility to infection • Nervous and connective tissue pains, for which the usual causes do not explain even the most conspicuous symptoms Since the living environment and lifestyles of our patients are familiar to us, we can see especially after carefully-directed inquiry a clear temporal and spatial correlation between the appearance of disease and exposure to pulsed high -frequency microwave radiation (HFMR), such as: • Installation of a mobile telephone ...
Dect Cordless Phone Creates Cell Tower In Home
www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org For example, in a New Zealand study on the health impacts on residents living near an AM and FM radio tower in Ouruhia, NZ in 1998, there was a significant incidence of both chronic fatigue (37%) and sleep problems (35%). The highest combined AM/FM reading from any single site was 2.6623 V/m. The authors of the Oururah investigation also mentioned that the 2.6623 V/m measurement corresponded to a power density of 0.0838 uW/cm2 for the Oururah transmissions. (6) In a large-scale five-year study on people living near a short-wave transmitter in Schwarzenburg, Switzerland, 55% of residents suffered from disturbed sleep, 35% from full insomnia. The researchers reported that "sleep difficulty was especially disturbing. This leads on to increasing fatigue and reduced feelings of well-being." The sleep disturbance was associated with power density exposures from 0.7 uW/cm2 to the maximum found of 1.85 uW/cm2. The study found a statistically significant association between extremely low intensity RF exposures averaging 0.236 uW/cm2 and a wide range of health and well-being variables. (7) Interestingly the researchers were able to have the transmitter turned on and off on different nights and symptoms were greatly reduced when the transmitters were turned off. What these two studies clearly suggest is that prolonged radiofrequency exposures, of a far less intensity than that emitted by a DECT base station/charger by a bedhead (or desk), are ...
Are Cordless Phones Are More Dangerous Than Cell Phones
Qlink Pendant : www.emfnews.org Qlink Pendant Reviews: www.emfnews.org Home Radiation Protection : www.emfnews.org Cordless phones are not safer than cell phones. In fact, some published research has shown that cordless phones are three times more dangerous than cell phones! (55) Here's why. A cordless phone utilizes a base station for its operation. This base station acts like a mini-cell phone tower sitting in the home or office. The base station continuously emits a pulsing microwave at full power as long as it's plugged in to an electrical outlet. It does this so that it can maintain a signal with the handset(s). This means that everyone in the home or office is exposed to the continual broadcasting of microwaves whether the phone is in use or not. Newer cordless phones now use newer technology called DECT technology, which stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. The signal from a DECT phone broadcasts at a 2.4 or 5.8 gigahertz transmission continuously. This continuous transmission of frequencies on DECT phones is what makes them different from older models. And since many cordless phones are often placed near the bedside on a nightstand individuals sleeping near them are constantly being exposed to a pulsing electromagnetic wave that has an electrical field strength of about 6.5 volts per meter (56) What's the significance of this? A New Zealand study reported a significant increase in both chronic fatigue and sleep problems in residents living near ...
Radiation from Dect phone base station (Electromagnetic Radiation)
This short clip show how much electromagnetic radiation is emitted from Dect Phone base station. On the last few months I meet more and more people that put the DECT base station near their bedside or on the desk in their work station. I hope that people who watch this video will move their DECT phone base station away as possible and will use them as less as possible.
