The Government had promised that every household would have a smart meter by 2019 in a �12 billion programme to stop gas and electricity bills being estimated.

Officials are devising plans to allow people to reject the smart meters, which communicate remotely from households to energy companies.

The move is a victory for campaign groups and backbench MPs, who raised concerns with ministers that the devices emit electromagnetic radiation 24 hours a day and cannot be turned off.

Privacy campaigners were worried that half-hourly data on energy usage collected by smart meters could give clues about people's way of life, such as when someone is on holiday, at work or asleep. Sources in the Department for Energy and Climate Change said the proposal was shelved to avoid the programme getting “bogged down” in lengthy legal disputes.

There has been a public outcry recently about the potential health effects of smart meters in the US and Canada.

About 400,000 have been installed in British homes. Most of the devices emit similar radiation to mobile phones, microwaves and wireless internet.

Campaigners are worried about the build-up of such devices in the home.

Some people claim to be sensitive to electromagnetic fields, saying it gives them symptoms such as nausea, fatigue and headaches.

In America, utility companies have been hit with multi-million dollar class action lawsuits from people who have had the devices installed in their homes.

Regulators say smart meters are safe. But protesters point to the American Academy of Environmental Medicine's opposition to the devices.

Bill Esterson, MP for Sefton Central, is now urging the Government to say whether smart meters will come with health warnings.

Charles Hendry, the energy minister, said: “We believe people will benefit from having smart meters. But we will not make them obligatory.”

USA: Cell Phone Report Calls for More Responsible Management to Protect Children and Pregnant Women. Environment and Human Health, Inc. (EHHI) today released a new report calling for tougher standards to regulate cellular technologies-especially for children and pregnant women.

Cell Phone Report Calls for More Responsible Management to Protect Children and Pregnant Women Environment and Human Health, Inc. (EHHI) today released a new report calling for tougher standards to regulate cellular technologies-especially for children and pregnant women.

The scientific evidence is sufficiently robust showing that cellular devices pose significant health risks to children and pregnant women," said Yale University Professor John Wargo, Ph.D., lead author of EHHI's report.North Haven, Conn. (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

Environment and Human Health, Inc. (EHHI) is releasing a new report calling for tougher standards to regulate cellular technologies-especially for children and pregnant women. This report is the first part of a project researching the health effects of cell phone use. EHHI has reviewed hundreds of peer-reviewed studies that have examined the potential health threats associated with cellular device use, along with the regulatory standards that have been adopted by the U.S. and other nations. This report provides the context for the second section of the project: an animal study designed to investigate the health effects on offspring of cell phone exposures during pregnancy.

John Wargo, Ph.D., professor of Environmental Risk and Policy at Yale University and lead author of the report, said, “The scientific evidence is sufficiently robust showing that cellular devices pose significant health risks to children and pregnant women. The weight of the evidence supports stronger precautionary regulation by the federal government. The cellular industry should take immediate steps to reduce emission of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from phones and avoid marketing their products to children.”

EHHI President Nancy Alderman explained how pervasive cell phones are in the United States. “There are nearly 276 million cell phone subscribers in the nation today, up from 97 million subscribers in 2000,” she said. “More than 75 percent of teens own cell phones, and one third of them text more than 100 messages per day. Children between the ages of 8-18 spend an average of 7.5 hours per day-nearly half their hours while awake-on smart phones, computers, televisions or other electronic devices. Exposures to electromagnetic radiation are increasing most rapidly among the youngest in our society, as service providers focus their advertising on children and educational markets.”

Hugh Taylor, M.D., coauthor of the report, summarized his concerns regarding neurological effects from cell phone radiation. “The human brain is especially susceptible to numerous environmental insults that can produce irreversible damage during critical periods of nervous system development between conception and full maturity. A number of peer-reviewed studies reported changes in the nervous systems of rats, mice and humans following exposure to cell phone radiation. These include diminished learning, diminished reaction time, decreased motor function, reduced memory accuracy, hyperactivity and diminished cognition.”

Taylor explained differences in exposure between children and adults, “The thinner skulls of young children permit cell phone radiation to penetrate brain tissues more deeply than occurs in adults. Devices stored in pants pockets while in standby mode can expose rapidly developing reproductive organs to radiofrequency energy. Storage in shirt pockets will increase exposure to breast tissues. Children's and fetuses' rapidly developing nervous systems, more rapid rates of cell division, longer potential lifetime exposure, and longer average use per day all heighten their risks of adverse health effects.”

Wargo cautioned, “Cell phones have enjoyed exceptional freedom from government oversight and control to protect against health and environmental hazards before cell phone devices are marketed. There are no enforceable standards to limit human exposure to cell phone radiation. While the U.S. does not require any regulations to restrict advertising or warnings against use of cellular devices by pregnant women or children, many other nations do.”

Cell phones emit non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation that varies in intensity by model of phone, antenna configuration, and signal strength. Most users are unaware that new phones include warnings about the need to hold devices a safe distance from the body, often five-eighths to one inch. Since intensity of exposure falls exponentially as distance between the phone and body increases, users can limit their exposure dramatically by using speakerphones.

The World Health Organization in 2011 classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use. Yet some types of tumors take a decade or longer to develop, and if caused by cellular devices, would only be discovered by epidemiological studies that often take a decade to resolve. Since the average useful life of any device is now two years, these findings would be irrelevant to guide management of current technologies or patterns of use.

Summarizing a growing literature in the field of psychology, Wargo explained, “Cellular devices can create feelings of psychological dependency. Common effects reported in the literature include distraction, isolation, hyperactivity, inability to focus on complex and long term tasks, and a heightened sense of anxiety.”

The most immediate threat to public health is the increasing rate of highway fatalities and injury associated with use of cellular devices while driving. The federal government reports that at any one time, approximately 11 percent of all drivers are using their cell phones. Cellular device use while driving poses a serious and avoidable threat to public health and safety. The National Safety Council attributes 23 percent of all traffic accidents to cell phone use-at least 1.3 million crashes per year. Nearly 1.2 million of these are associated with phone calls, while 100,000 are associated with texting. The authors state this loss of life is fully avoidable.

The recycling of cell phones is also a serious concern to the authors. In 2012 nearly 220 million cell phones will be discarded in the U.S., and fewer than 10 percent of these will be recycled. This waste is especially hazardous when burned because of the release of dioxins from some plastic polymers, and diverse metals that do not break down.

Nancy Alderman, president of EHHI, summarized the group's recommendations. “The government must take greater responsibility for testing cellular technologies before they are marketed to assure their safety, their proper disposal and to educate the public about safe patterns of use.”

Skin cancer rates in Spain rise alarmingly

Skin cancer rates in Spain rise alarmingly

July 2, 2011 � Health � 0 Comments

Skin cancer rates in Spain rise alarmingly

THE rate of skin cancer is alarmingly still on the rise.

Two out of every 100,000 Spaniards will now develop the most dangerous strain of melanoma each year - a seven per cent rise in just one year.

Most worryingly of all, victims appear to be getting younger, with those in their late twenties the most affected group.

Melanoma is an extremely dangerous condition and requires early detection for successful treatment.

Mortality rates are at their highest for those over 50.

According to Miguel Sanchez Viera, the head of the skin cancer unit at USP San Camilio Hospital, if the condition is left undetected, the cancer can spread quickly making the chance for success considerably slimmer.

Meanwhile, sun creams with a factor of at least 30 are being highly recommended by experts as a way to protect yourself from the damaging rays of the sun.

It has emerged that creams with a factor of less than 15 will require the removal of the word �protection' from the package.

The FDA recently announced that sunscreens with a protection factor of less than 15 will have to have a warning label that only recognises the cream's ability to protect against sunburn, not cancer and aging.

According to recent research by top doctors, sun cream with a factor of 30-plus is the only way to prevent the risk of skin cancer.

Public health official report on smart meters

AB — 2012-01-28T05:50:14Z

Public health official report on smart meters Posted on January 19, 2012 by admin Santa Cruz County, CA Board of Supervisors directed its public health officer to prepare an analysis of the research on the health effects of Smart Meters in December 2011. Poki Stewart Namkung, M.D. M.P.H., prepared this report: Health Risks Associated With SmartMeters. (see pages 9-18) Dr. Namkungs report recognizes: Smart Meters transmit pulsed electromagnetic field radiation (RF) almost continuously 24/7 There are evidence-based health risks of RF RF exposure can be cumulative and additive The massive increase in RF public exposures since the mid-1990′s The controversy between independent and industry science, including lack of funding for independent research Evidence to support an Electrical Sensitivity (EHS) diagnosis The public health issue is that Smart Meters are involuntary RF exposures FCC thermal guidelines are irrelevant for non-thermal public exposures. The lack of relevant safety standards for chronic pulsed RF The report summary calls for more government vigilance towards involuntary RF public exposures because, “...governmental agencies are the only defense against such involuntary exposure.” The report also provides examples of strategies to reduce RF including minimize cell and cordless phone use, use speakerphone when possible, use wired internet connections, avoid setting a laptop on your lap, and more. Excerpts: “The public health issue of concern in regard to SmartMeters is the involuntary exposure of individuals and households to electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation.” “There are numerous situations in which the distance between the SmartMeters and humans is less than three feet on an ongoing basis, e.g. a SmartMeter mounted on the external wall to a bedroom with the bed placed adjacent to that mounting next to the internal wall. ” “...SmartMeters emit frequencies almost continuously, day and night, seven days a week.” “... exposure is additive and consumers may have already increased their exposures to radiofrequency radiation in the home through the voluntary use of wireless devices ...It would be impossible to know how close a consumer might be to their limit, making uncertainty with the installation of a mandatory SmartMeter. ” “... all available, peer-reviewed, scientific research data can be extrapolated to apply to SmartMeters, taking into consideration the magnitude and the intensity of the exposure.” “Since the mid-1990′s the use of cellular and wireless devices has increased exponentially exposing the public to massively increased levels of RF.” ” It must be noted that there is little basic science funding for this type of research and it is largely funded by industry.” “...most research carried out by independent non-government or non-industry affiliated researchers suggests potentially serious effects from many non-ionizing radiation exposures, research funded by industry and some governments seems to cast doubt on the potential for harm.” “Despite this controversy, evidence is accumulating on the results of exposure to RF at non-thermal levels including increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier in the head (Eberhardt, 2008), harmful effects on sperm, double strand breaks in DNA which could lead to cancer genesis (Phillips, 2011), stress gene activation indicating an exposure to a toxin (Blank, 2011), and alterations in brain glucose metabolism (Volkow, 2011). ” “Currently, research has demonstrated objective evidence to support the EHS diagnosis...” “Meeting the current FCC guidelines only assures that one should not have heat damage from SmartMeter exposure. It says nothing about safety from the risk of many chronic diseases that the public is most concerned about such as cancer, miscarriage, birth defects, semen quality, autoimmune diseases, etc. Therefore, when it comes to nonthermal effects of RF, FCC guidelines are irrelevant and cannot be used for any claims of SmartMeter safety unless heat damage is involved (Li, 2011). ” “There are no current, relevant public safety standards for pulsed RF involving chronic exposure of the public, nor of sensitive populations, nor of people with metal and medical implants that can be affected both by localized heating and by electromagnetic interference (EMI) for medical wireless implanted devices.” “Many other countries have significantly lower RF/MW exposure standards ranging from 0.001 to 50 W/cm2 as compared with the US guideline of 200-1 000 W/cm2″ “In summary, there is no scientific data to determine if there is a safe RF exposure level regarding its non-thermal effects.”

The Board of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine opposes the installation of wireless “smart meters” in homes and schools based on a scientific assessment of the current medical literature

AB — 2012-01-24T08:09:18Z

Proposed Decision of Commissioner Peevey (Mailed 1/22/2012) BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, On the proposed decision 11-03-014

Dear Commissioners:

The Board of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine opposes the installation of wireless “smart meters” in homes and schools based on a scientific assessment of the current medical literature (references available on request). Chronic exposure to wireless radiofrequency radiation is a preventable environmental hazard that is sufficiently well documented to warrant immediate preventative public health action.

As representatives of physician specialists in the field of environmental medicine, we have an obligation to urge precaution when sufficient scientific and medical evidence suggests health risks which can potentially affect large populations. The literature raises serious concern regarding the levels of radio frequency (RF - 3 KHz - 300 GHz) or extremely low frequency (ELF - o- 300 Hz) exposures produced by “smart meters” to warrant an immediate and complete moratorium on their use and deployment until further study can be performed. The board of the American Board of Environmental Medicine wishes to point out that existing FCC guidelines for RF safety that have been used to justify installation of “smart meters” only look at thermal tissue damage and are obsolete, since many modern studies show metabolic and genomic damage from RF and ELF exposures below the level of intensity which heats tissues. The FCC guidelines are therefore inadequate for use in establishing public health standards. More modern literature shows medically and biologically significant effects of RF and ELF at lower energy densities. These effects accumulate over time, which is an important consideration given the chronic nature of exposure from “smart meters”. The current medical literature raises credible questions about genetic and cellular effects, hormonal effects, male fertility, blood/brain barrier damage and increased risk of certain types of cancers from RF or ELF levels similar to those emitted from “smart meters”. Children are placed at particular risk for altered brain development, and impaired learning and behavior. Further EMF/RF adds synergistic effects to the damage observed from a range of toxic chemicals. Given the widespread, chronic and essentially inescapable ELF/RF exposure of everyone living near a “smart meter”, the Board of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine finds it unacceptable from a public health standpoint to implement this technology until these serious medical concerns are resolved. We consider a moratorium on installation of wireless “smart meters” to be an issue of the highest importance.

The Board of the American Academy of EnvironmentalMedicine also wises to note that the US NIEHS National Toxicology Program in 1999 cited radiofrequency radiation as a potential carcinogen. Existing safety limits for pulsed RF were termed “not protective of public health” by the Radiofrequency Interagency Working Group (a federal interagency working group including the FDA, FCC, OSHA, the EPA and others). Emissions given off by “smart meters” have been classified by the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a Possible Human Carcinogen.

Hence, we call for:

� An immediate moratorium on “smart meter” installatoin until these serious public health issues are resolved. Continuing with their installation would be extremely irresponsible.

� Modify the revised proposed decision to include hearings on health impact in the second proceedings, along with cost evaluation and community wide opt-out.

� Provide immediate relief to those requesting it and restore the analog meters.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of two sources of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the proteome of cerebellum, hippocampus, and frontal lobe in Balb/c mice following long-term whole body irradiation. Three equally divided groups of animals (6 animals/group) were used; the first group was exposed to a typical mobile phone, at a SAR level range of 0.17- 0.37 W/kg for 3 h daily for 8 months, the second group was exposed to a wireless DECT base (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications/Telephone) at a SAR level range of 0.012- 0.028 W/kg for 8 h/day also for 8 months and the third group comprised the sham-exposed animals. Comparative proteomics analysis revealed that long-term irradiation from both EMF sources altered significantly (p , 0.05) the expression of 143 proteins in total (as low as 0.003 fold downregulation up to 114 fold overexpression). Several neural function related proteins (i.e., Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Alpha-synuclein, Glia Maturation Factor beta (GMF), and apolipoprotein E (apoE)), heat shock proteins, and cytoskeletal proteins (i.e., Neurofilaments and tropomodulin) are included in this list as well as proteins of the brain metabolism (i.e., Aspartate aminotransferase, Glutamate dehydrogenase) to nearly all brain regions studied. Western blot analysis on selected proteins confirmed the proteomics data. The observed protein expression changes may be related to brain plasticity alterations, indicative of oxidative stress in the nervous system or involved in apoptosis and might potentially explain human health hazards reported so far, such as headaches, sleep disturbance, fatigue, memory deficits, and brain tumor long-term induction under similar exposure conditions.

La instalaci�n de antenas de Juan Rej�n en Valle Gran Rey se va a cerrar

Ayer martes 17 de enero en el programa de radio "Buenos D�as Canarias de la Radio auton�mica de Canarias", pudimos o�r una entrevista conjunta a Luis Fernando Ramos, uno de los vecinos afectados por las antenas de telefon�a m�vil de Juan Rej�n en Valle Gran Rey y a Miguel �ngel Hern�ndez, alcalde de la localidad.

[Img #7151] Antenas de Juan Rej�n (efe) Seg�n afirma Luis Fernando en dicha entrevista, tanto en su familia como en casas cercanas se han producido graves problemas de salud como tiroides y c�ncer, y que incluso a �l se le ha tenido que extraer parte de un pecho para quitarle uno. Adem�s, coment� los problemas de tiroides que sufren sus dos hijos y como en las nuevas pruebas realizadas en estos tres meses en que no se emite desde esa instalaci�n, los niveles se les han regularizado, as� como el caso de una vecina en pleno proceso de recuperaci�n tras ser operada estas navidades.

Reconoce tambi�n que siendo alcalde Esteban Bethencourt se consigui� documentaci�n que acreditaba la ilegalidad de la instalaci�n, y que con esa documentaci�n por delante se ha requerido a la Guardia Civil para que identifique a los operarios de mantenimiento al pretender realizar trabajos sin permiso en una instalaci�n fuera de la ley. "...es ilegal, sin per�metro de seguridad, donde alguien se puede electrocutar y �Qui�n asumir�a la responsabilidad?" aseguro textualmente.

En la misma entrevista Miguel �ngel Hern�ndez reconoce la ilegalidad de la instalaci�n, y que por ello el grupo de gobierno no puede hacer otra cosa que cumplir con la ley, y augura que "... esa instalaci�n se va a cerrar, l�gicamente, como no puede ser de otra manera". De la misma forma, avisa de que se sigue trabajando en otras alternativas viables en cuanto a la orograf�a y a su lejan�a con las personas, pero reitera la responsabilidad de las operadoras que son las que tienen e incumplen el contrato con los vecinos.

Para finalizar, y tambi�n en boca de Luis Fernando, se asegura que en algunas zonas se recibe cobertura desde el Hierro, y denuncia el oscurantismo de las compa��as en lo que se refiere al respeto de la vida de las personas, la legalidad y el rango de las emisiones.

CANARIAS: Un pueblo de La Gomera lleva m�s de tres meses sin cobertura de m�vil por miedo al c�ncer. Los vecinos del barrio de La Calera, algunos afectados de c�ncer y problemas de tiroides, fueron los que decidieron desactivar la antena telef�nica. Luis Fernando Ramos, natural de Valle Gran Rey, sostiene que �l y sus hijos de 16 y 7 a�os padecen de tiroides a causa de la antena, as� como otros vecinos afectados tambi�n de c�ncer, afecciones que atribuyen a la cercan�a de esa infraestructura. Otros residentes de la zona, que han preferido no identificarse, aseguran que desde que la antena dej� de funcionar duermen mejor y ya no les duele la cabeza.

Los vecinos del barrio de La Calera, algunos afectados de c�ncer y problemas de tiroides, fueron los que decidieron desactivar la antena telef�nica. Proponen que se coloque la antena en lo alto de la monta�a de Teguergenche, una propuesta que las compa��as telef�nicas cuestionan porque no hay acceso rodado. El alcalde ve los problemas de salud de los vecinos como "discutibles", ya que no hay ning�n informe m�dico que los avale.

EFE. 14.01.2012 El tur�stico pueblo de Valle Gran Rey, en La Gomera, lleva m�s de tres meses sin cobertura despu�s de que los vecinos del barrio de La Calera, algunos de ellos afectados de c�ncer y problemas tiroides, decidieran desactivar la antena telef�nica que da cobertura a esta localidad.

Cansados de luchar durante m�s de cinco a�os por que retiren esta infraestructura, que consideran ilegal al estar situada en un suelo calificado como zona verde, los habitantes de esta zona han comentado que ninguna instituci�n ha hecho hasta el momento nada por ayudarles.

Luis Fernando Ramos sostiene que �l y sus hijos padecen de tiroides a causa de la antena Dailos Dorta, vecino de la Calera, asegura que pese a los trastornos que la falta de cobertura est� provocando a turistas y residentes, el resto del pueblo les respalda y tambi�n reclama que se busque una soluci�n y se traslade la antena a otro lugar m�s alejado de la poblaci�n.

La alternativa que proponen es que se coloque la antena en lo alto de la monta�a de Teguergenche, desde la que se ve todo Valle Gran Rey, una propuesta a la que UNELCO dio su visto bueno, pero que las compa��as telef�nicas cuestionan porque no hay acceso rodado, a�ade el portavoz.

Luis Fernando Ramos, natural de Valle Gran Rey, sostiene que �l y sus hijos de 16 y 7 a�os padecen de tiroides a causa de la antena, as� como otros vecinos afectados tambi�n de c�ncer, afecciones que atribuyen a la cercan�a de esa infraestructura.

Otros residentes de la zona, que han preferido no identificarse, aseguran que desde que la antena dej� de funcionar duermen mejor y ya no les duele la cabeza.

Consideran que el problema est� politizado y que el Gobierno de Canarias, Cabildo de La Gomera y el Ayuntamiento de Valle Gran Rey se pasan la pelota de unos a otros.

Un proyecto alternativo

El alcalde de Valle Gran Rey, Miguel �ngel Hern�ndez, que hace hincapi� en la situaci�n ilegal de la antena, puntualiza que los problemas de salud que padecen algunos de los vecinos de La Calera son "discutibles", porque no hay ning�n informe m�dico que los avale.

El Ayuntamiento de Valle Gran Rey trabaja en un proyecto alternativo que pretende trasladar esta infraestructura a otra zona m�s alejada de las viviendas y dotada de los requerimientos t�cnicos, como acceso rodado y electricidad, que las compa��as telef�nicas piden.

Por su parte, el Cabildo de La Gomera no se pronuncia sobre este asunto, pues considera que no es competencia suya sino del Ayuntamiento, han matizado fuentes de la corporaci�n insular.

Mientras tanto, los turistas y residentes se re�nen cada d�a frente a la playa de La Puntilla para poder captar con sus m�viles la cobertura que dicen que llega de la isla de El Hierro.
