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 ...
17 Reasons Why to Minimize Cell Phone Radiation and Help Reduce Exposure Risks Part 2
Cordless Phones Health Rsks : www.emfnews.org Blue tube headset : www.emfnews.org 6. Don't talk on a cell phone or cordless phone when pregnant or while carrying a baby or small child. 7. Avoid digital enhanced cordless telecommunications, or DECT, technology. This is often the strongest source of radiation in the home. DECT phones emit radiation continuously, not just while the phone is in use. 8. Don't talk on a cell phone while in a vehicle, on a train, bus, plane, or subway. These enclosed areas trap radiation and consequently exposure becomes higher in these enclosed metal surroundings. They also impede the signal so your cell phone must use more power to maintain the connection. 9. Use wired and corded telephones. Eliminate cordless phones and WiFi equipment in your home and work environments. 10. Use wired Internet connections instead of wireless routers. If you must use a wireless router turn it off at night or when it is not in use. If you are not sure of what type of device to use or what type of technology works I would be happy to share my information and opinions with you from the research and reading I have done on available technology. Wireless technology is perhaps the greatest convenience of our time. Yet it could also prove to be the greatest toxin we have ever created. Thank you for your interest in learning more about this growing problem in our society. Educate and protect those close to you. And please join me in informing those in your circle of ...
Cell Phone Radiation Brain Tumors
www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Early last year Dr. Lonn published the results of a Swedish study, which found an increased risk of acoustic neuroma, a type of brain tumor, after 10 or more years of cell phone use. This year he published more research results, which showed that cell phones did not increase the risk of other brain tumor types (gliomas or meningiomas). These types of conflicting reports often leave the public unsure about whether cell phones pose a risk or not. ""Because we receive so many questions about whether there is a link between cell phones and brain tumors, NBTF decided to devote an entire newsletter to this issue,"" says Rob Tufel, MSW, MPH, NBTF's Executive Director. ""We hope our readers will be in a better position to make an informed decision about their own cell phone use after reading our publication." Dr. Lonn's work is part of the Interphone study, a 14-country research project initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO). The results of the Interphone study are due in 2006. Meanwhile, the WHO suggests that persons concerned about cell phone use can limit the length of calls, use a ""hands- free"" device to keep cell phones away from the head and body, and avoid using cell phones while driving. NBTF has endorsed these guidelines. In addition to Dr Lonn's article, the NBTF newsletter contains the views of prominent health professionals and scientists regarding the possible link between cell phone use and brain tumors. Each year over ...
Is Cell Phone Radiation from Mobile Phones a health risk? Part 2
Cordless Phones Health Rsks : www.emfnews.org Blue tube headset : www.emfnews.org The authors report that a group of German scientists found that exposure to electromagnetic fields during mobile phone use may increase resting blood pressure and that Colorado University researchers have shown that frequent mobile users had significantly depressed melatonin—a vital cancer-preventing hormone. Also mentioned is an Australian study that has linked cell phones to a higher rate of brain cancer, while a Swedish study suggests that using a mobile phone for more than 15 minutes could lead to headaches and fatigue. The article makes reference to a study by Dr. Lennart Hardel showing that mobile phone use increases the risk of a brain tumor by almost two and a half times. According to Begich and Roderick, cell-phone companies like Motorola attempt to influence the results of research studies. Mentioned in this context was the work of biologists Ross Adey and Dr. Henry Lai. The latter, "who has been studying the biological effects of electromagnetic fields for 20 years, was asked three times [by Motorola] to change findings on how they caused DNA breaks in rats." Another biochemist, Jerry Phillips, who worked with Ross Adey on Motorola-funded research beginning in 1991, commented: "Motorola was adamant that Adey never mention DNA damage and radiofrequency (RF) radiation in the same breath." Said Adey: "Motorola has been manipulative of research that we and others have reported to them ...
Do Cordless Telephones Emit As Much Radiation As Cell Phones? Part 2
Cordless Phones Health Rsks : www.emfnews.org Blue tube headset : www.emfnews.org As for practical advice, the Health Ministry says that when using a portable phone of any type, it is better to use the speakerphone than to put the handset to your ear. Don't install the base unit of a cordless phone in the bedroom, children's room or office, where you spend much of your time. If the handset isn't in use, return it to the base unit (the charger ), because the whole time it's not on that base unit it's emitting radiation. The recommendations were consolidated by Prof. Sigal Sadetzki, director of the cancer unit at the Gertner Institute for Epidemiology and Health Policy Research at Sheba Medical Center. Sadetzki is the Israeli researcher who participated in the international Interphone study, which investigated the correlation between illness and the use of mobile phones. The study, published about two months ago, did not find that 10 years of cell-phone usage led to a greater chance of developing malignant or benign tumors in the brain, among users speaking less than 30 minutes a day. But it also concluded that "heavy users" - which means they speak at least 30 minutes a day on their mobile phones - do have a 40% greater chance of developing a brain tumor. Why now? So why would the ministry publish a warning about cordless phones now? There are no new studies out, says Sadetzki. But following the outcome of the Interphone study and the fact that Israelis are very heavy ...
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 ...
Cell Phones, Cordless Phones And Computers Gro Harlem Brundtland Made Ill
Protection Against Cell Phone Radiation : www.emfnews.org The highest profile person yet to announce that cell phones, cordless phones and computers make her ill is none other than Gro Harlem Brundtland, a medical doctor, master of public health, former Prime Minister of Norway, and until 2003 the Director General of the World Health Organisation. Yet even so public a figure on the world stage has been unable to draw the world's attention to our collective plight, or in any way slow down the growth of telecommunications, or even to put it on the map as an environmental issue. This must happen. Too many intelligent, professional, useful people are wandering this country's barren deserts, homeless, ostracized, robbed of their civil rights, with no place to land. Too many have committed suicide because they have lost all hope, have suffered too long, have had to pick up roots and flee for their lives once too often. Within the telecommunications industry, too many equipment testers, installers, and repairpersons with radiowave sickness are afraid to speak out, or do not even know why they are ill. So many radars, antennae, and communication devices are being deployed for government, military, emergency, commercial, and personal uses in both the developed and developing worlds, and in space, that there is nowhere left to hide. Even radio astronomers are seriously talking about the far side of the moon as the only place left that is quiet enough, in the radio spectrum, to ...
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 ...
