In its October 2000 edition of Living Well, major health insurer MBF has advised readers to reduce exposure to radiation from mobile phones. “Follow these tips for safer mobile phone use: make fewer and shorter calls; switch to an approved hands-free set; discourage children from using in non-emergency situations; don’t phone and drive, even with a hands-free model.”

The following information is from a presentation by Dr Sianne Kwee, Effects of Microwave Fields from Mobile Phones on Cell Growth to the European Parliament, 29.6.00. Dr Kwee and her colleagues in Denmark conducted a series of experiments designed to show how EMR affects cell tissue cultures and their DNA replication. The researchers cultivated human cells in an EMR-free environment then exposed them to EMR, before returning them to a field-free zone for 24 hours.

The following information is an exerpt from a talk on Scientific and health aspects of cellular phones and the masts by Dr Helen Irvine at the National Society of UK for Clean Air and Environment in February this year. Dr Irvine is a consultant in Public Health Medicine at the Greater Glasgow Health Board and an honorary senior lecturer in Public Health Medicine at the University of Glasgow.

The Senate Committee received submissions and heard oral presenations in three capitals. Here are the highlights. Dr Peter French. Dr Peter French and Dr David McKenzie advanced a new and compelling model which links mobile phone radiation to the development of cancer. “The support for this link is based firmly on the peer reviewed and published work of other scientists internationally, and supported by observations in our own laboratory.” The first of a sequence of events occurs when th...

This article, supplied by Telstra, describes that organisation's development of a software package designed to calculate emissions from mobile phone antennas. Public concern over possible health effects from mobile phone base stations has led a to a demand for accessible and easy to understand information on the electromagnetic energy (EME) emission levels from these facilities

At a meeting in Salsburg in June attendees endorsed a resolution calling for measures to protect community health from phone tower radiation. Salzburg Resolution on Mobile Telecommunication Base Stations International Conference on Cell Tower Siting Linking Science & Public Health, Salzburg, June 7-8, 2000 1. It is recommended that development rights for the erection and for operation of a base station should be subject to a permission procedure. The protocol should include .

UK Education Secretary, David Blunkett, has sent guidelines to every school in England to discourage the use of mobile phones by children. The letter states, “Children aged 15 and under ... are likely to be more vulnerable to any unrecognised health risks from mobile phone use than are adults because their nervous systems are still developing. Also, because of their smaller heads, thinner skulls and higher tissue conductivity, children may absorb more energy from a mobile phone than do adul...

The proliferation of mobile phone antennas and the actions of some carriers have generated a backlash. Communities, councils and state politicians are calling for changes to legislation. Dame Nellie Melba impacted a generation. Though less than five metres in height, she sang like a nightingale, to the veneration of audiences worldwide. According to eyewitnesses, Adolf Hitler was also less than five metres in height.

At last - a hypothesis that explains the symptoms that exposed people are reporting! Drs Shabnam Gangi and Olle Johansson have developed a compelling hypothesis that mast cells are implicated in the allergic responses that are often experienced by people after prolonged exposure to EMR, especially from computers. This is based on a number of observations. Firstly, people with such symptoms have a higher number of mast cells, larger mast cells and a different pattern of mast cell distribu...

The NSW Greens have called for precautions to protect people from radiation from mobile phones and towers. ”If we don’t take action now deaths and illness linked with mobile phones could be the 21st century equivalent of the asbestos industry,” said Ms Lee Rhiannon, MLC. The party has tabled the following demands: Dept of Local Government to require all local councils and shires to refuse planning approval for antennas within 500 metres of schools, childcare centres, hospitals a.

An independent panel of twelve, Chaired by Sir William Stewart, has just released its findings about the risks of electromagnetic radiation after months of taking public submissions and examining relevant research. According to the report, “if science has greater power to do good, it also has greater power to do harm. They therefore advocate a precautionary approach to new technology where there are uncertainties about the associated risks.”

A phone tower drama in four acts They’re situated in community parks, on hospitals, in shopping centres, and next to schools. They sprout, unheralded, in residential communities. Like pieces of gigantic scaffolding, they loom over entire communities or hide in flag poles and church crosses, on city lampposts and on shop awnings at just about head-height. Ubiquitous mobile phone antennas - constantly emitting signals, covering our city in an invisible sea of radiation, spawning clones so
