AB — 2013-04-24T20:11:56Z

RESOLUTION ON THE RADAR OF POTENZA PICENA, ITALY 20th April 2013 The international congress “Radar, radiofrequency and health risk”, which is held today Saturday, April 20th, 2013 in Potenza Picena, Macerata, Italy, found out several scientific findings regarding the radar placed in Potenza Picena:  an alteration of the cell viability in cultured cells exposed to the radar signal under controlled conditions (in a Tem cell), with the activation of apoptosis in a short term exposure and with an activation of cell survival signals for 48-hours exposures;  the cells cultured in the houses of Potenza Picena under the radar signal exposure showed the same alterations of in vitro studies;  the methylation of DNA occurred to such exposed cultured cells, that may be responsible of a genetic damage on a long term even for low dose exposures;  the epidemiology study for the period 1986-1991 shows a significant increase of tumor risk (1.6) and of stroke risk (1.4). Given the previous evidences, the following signatories are morally engaged to declare that the radar in Potenza Picena cannot be defined as “safe” for the population and it should switched off or removed.

International Doctor's Appeal 2012 - 10 Years after Freiburg Appeal: Wireless radiation poses a health risk. Physicians demand precaution now.

AB — 2012-06-12T19:13:54Z

International Doctor's Appeal 2012 - 10 Years after Freiburg Appeal: Wireless radiation poses a health risk. Physicians demand precaution now. More than 1000 physicians signed the “Freiburg Appeal” in 2002. It was translated into many languages. As many as 36,000 people from all over the world support its warning about the dangers of wireless radiation. Today-ten years later-we as physicians call again on the international community. We are deeply concerned. Despite all warnings, more and more new wireless technologies are introduced into our lives: cell phone networks, TETRA, LTE, cordless phones, Wi-Fi, baby monitors, wireless meters, digital radio and TV, and many others. All of these wireless technologies overload the biophysical pathways of cell communication in living systems with increasing layers and densities of electromagnetic fields. Human, animal, and plant life is controlled by naturally occurring electromagnetic fields (EMF) and signals. Technical fields and frequencies can interfere profoundly with the biological processes of cell communication and cell metabolism. Initially, the self-healing power of living beings will compensate for imbalances through finely tuned control mechanisms. Prolonged electromagnetic stress, however, may lead to a chronic lack of energy and resulting diseases. The consequences of this fundamental impairment of self-regulation have repeatedly been demonstrated in scientific studies: clumping of red blood cells, increased permeability of the protective blood-brain barrier, changes in brain wave activity and heart rhythm, unbalanced release of neurotransmitters and hormones (especially the increase in stress hormones), immune system impairment, damage to the genetic material, lowered fertility, to name only a few of the best known examples. Oxidative cell stress-a major cause of many diseases-has been shown to be the main effect mechanism of radiation exposure. As physicians, we currently observe a worrisome rise in mental health problems such as depression, burnout syndrome as well as sleep, anxiety, and panic disorders. This also applies to a multitude of other diseases: stroke (also in children and even in fetuses in the womb), degenerative neurological disorders (e.g. dementia, epilepsy, brain tumors), headaches, autism, learning disorders, concentration problems, behavioral disorders, allergies, skin problems, pain syndromes, susceptibility to infections, high blood pressure, metabolic disorders, multi-system disorders, and cancer, to name only the most prominent and most frequent symptoms and disorders. More and more frequently, we also observe a clear pattern of temporal and spatial relationships between the onset of these symptoms and disorders and the start of a radiation exposure, e.g. in the vicinity of a newly installed cell tower, heavy cell phone use, or the use of a DECT cordless phone, wireless Internet router, or other wireless technology in the home, in a neighbor's home, or at work.

Children and adolescents especially and increasingly display addictive behavior in the use of their cell phones and other online devices. According to the latest scientific evidence, they are also the most vulnerable. The number of those who suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity is steadily growing. Electrosensitive individuals can develop severe symptoms immediately or even several hours after the exposure to technical electromagnetic fields and frequencies. As physicians we welcome that Sweden has recognized electromagnetic hypersensitivity as a functional impairment and has provided protected zones for affected people. We would also like to point out and emphasize that the European Parliament has called on its member states “to follow the example of Sweden” and that U.S. State Governors have raised public awareness about the consequences of electromagnetic hypersensitivity. The initiative of the Austrian Medical Association, which has released a guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of electrosensitive individuals, hopefully will also catch on in other countries. Our medical observations have been confirmed by scientific findings. Adverse effects of electromagnetic fields and the fundamental impairment of biological control mechanisms well below current exposure limits have been demonstrated, and in some instances, for decades. The report of the international BioInitiative Working Group (2007) has documented a multitude of health hazards and risks based on the evaluation of more than 1500 scientific studies. Since then numerous recent studies have confirmed the worrisome results and at the same time have shown that current exposure limits, which are based exclusively on thermal effects, are obsolete. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified RF radiation as a cancer risk in May 2011. And market-leading manufacturers of cell phones (Nokia 2001, Swisscom 2003, etc.) corroborate the association when they justify their patent applications with the argument of cancer risk. In numerous appeals and resolutions over the past years, more and more scientists and physicians have pointed to the health risks associated with wireless radiation. In 2008 the Russian Radiation Protection Committee gave a warning about the catastrophic consequences, and again in 2011, intensified its warning. The European Environment Agency called for urgent precautionary action in 2009. The European Parliament repeated the same call also in 2009 and, in a unanimous resolution in 2011, the European Council urged members to abandon wireless communication policies that are seen as unsustainable in their current form. A recurrent theme of these appeals and resolutions is the fear that in particular this generation of children and adolescents will be harmed. Thus in the fall of 2011, the European Environment Agency has renewed its call for precautionary action, especially with regard to children and adolescents.

With this appeal, we as physicians call on our colleagues and all citizens around the world: Educate and inform yourself, and pass this information on to your family, neighbors, friends, and politicians. Stand up for your own physical and mental health and the health of those in your care by choosing wired communication technologies whenever possible. As physicians, we think the following policy steps are urgently needed: � Immediately stop all expansion of wireless communication technologies, especially TETRA and LTE networks; drastically lower exposure limits

� Protect the inviolability of home by lowering exposure levels from the outside

� Stop the use of continuous wireless transmitters such as cordless phones (DECT), wireless Internet access (Wi-Fi), and wireless meters

� Switch to wired or fiber-optic technologies whenever possible, especially in preschools, schools, nursing homes, and public buildings

� Ban the use of cell phones by children, and the ban of cell phones and Wi-Fi on public transportation

� Attach warning labels on all devices with wireless functions-similar to cigarette packages

� Promote biocompatible communication technologies

� Identify and clearly mark protected zones for electrohypersensitive people; establish public spaces without wireless access or coverage, especially in hospitals

� Provide government funding for industry-independent research that does not dismiss scientific and medical reports of potential risks, but rather works to clarify those risks. Leading scientists consider the massive disruptions of the biophysical functioning of life as the greatest experiment in human history ever. We already know enough right now about the risks and dangers to demand immediate precautionary action from those in government.

American Academy of Environmental Medicine: Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Fields Effect on Human Health

AB — 2012-04-15T19:45:33Z

Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Fields Effect on Human Health

For over 50 years, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) has been studying and treating the effects of the environment on human health. In the last 20 years, our physicians began seeing patients who reported that electric power lines, televisions and other electrical devices caused a wide variety of symptoms. By the mid 1990's, it became clear that patients were adversely affected by electromagnetic fields and becoming more electrically sensitive. In the last five years with the advent of wireless devices, there has been a massive increase in radiofrequency (RF) exposure from wireless devices as well as reports of hypersensitivity and diseases related to electromagnetic field and RF exposure. Multiple studies correlate RF exposure with diseases such as cancer, neurological disease, reproductive disorders, immune dysfunction, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

The electromagnetic wave spectrum is divided into ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet and X-rays and non-ionizing radiation such as ultrasound and radiofrequency (RF), which includes WiFi, cell phones, and Smart Meter wireless communication. It has long been recognized that ionizing radiation can have a negative impact on health. However, the effects of non-ionizing radiation on human health recently have been seen. Discussions and research of non-ionizing radiation effects centers around thermal and non-thermal effects. According to the FCC and other regulatory agencies, only thermal effects are relevant regarding health implications and consequently, exposure limits are based on thermal effects only.1

While it was practical to regulate thermal bioeffects, it was also stated that non-thermal effects are not well understood and no conclusive scientific evidence points to non-thermal based negative health effects.1 Further arguments are made with respect to RF exposure from WiFi, cell towers and smart meters that due to distance, exposure to these wavelengths are negligible.2 However, many in vitro, in vivo and epidemiological studies demonstrate that significant harmful biological effects occur from non-thermal RF exposure and satisfy Hill's criteria of causality.3 Genetic damage, reproductive defects, cancer, neurological degeneration and nervous system dysfunction, immune system dysfunction, cognitive effects, protein and peptide damage, kidney damage, and developmental effects have all been reported in the peer-reviewed scientific literature.

Genotoxic effects from RF exposure, including studies of non-thermal levels of exposure, consistently and specifically show chromosomal instability, altered gene expression, gene mutations, DNA fragmentation and DNA structural breaks.4-11 A statistically significant dose response effect was demonstrated by Maschevich et al. , who reported a linear increase in aneuploidy as a function of the Specific Absorption Rate(SAR) of RF exposure.11 Genotoxic effects are documented to occur in neurons, blood lymphocytes, sperm, red blood cells, epithelial cells, hematopoietic tissue, lung cells and bone marrow. Adverse developmental effects due to non-thermal RF exposure have been shown with decreased litter size in mice from RF exposure well below safety standards.12 The World Health Organization has classified RF emissions as a group 2 B carcinogen.13 Cellular telephone use in rural areas was also shown to be associated with an increased risk for malignant brain tumors. 14

The fact that RF exposure causes neurological damage has been documented repeatedly. Increased blood-brain barrier permeability and oxidative damage, which are associated with brain cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, have been found.4,7,15-17 Nittby et al. demonstrated a statistically significant dose-response effect between non-thermal RF exposure and occurrence of albumin leak across the blood-brain barrier.15 Changes associated with degenerative neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) have been reported.4,10 Other neurological and cognitive disorders such as headaches, dizziness, tremors, decreased memory and attention, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, decreased reaction times, sleep disturbances and visual disruption have been reported to be statistically significant in multiple epidemiological studies with RF exposure occurring non-locally.18-21

Nephrotoxic effects from RF exposure also have been reported. A dose response effect was observed by Ingole and Ghosh in which RF exposure resulted in mild to extensive degenerative changes in chick embryo kidneys based on duration of RF exposure.24 RF emissions have also been shown to cause isomeric changes in amino acids that can result in nephrotoxicity as well as hepatotoxicity.25

Electromagnetic field (EMF) hypersensitivity has been documented in controlled and double blind studies with exposure to various EMF frequencies. Rea et al. demonstrated that under double blind placebo controlled conditions, 100% of subjects showed reproducible reactions to that frequency to which they were most sensitive.22 Pulsed electromagnetic frequencies were shown to consistently provoke neurological symptoms in a blinded subject while exposure to continuous frequencies did not.23

Although these studies clearly show causality and disprove the claim that health effects from RF exposure are uncertain, there is another mechanism that proves electromagnetic frequencies, including radiofrequencies, can negatively impact human health. Government agencies and industry set safety standards based on the narrow scope of Newtonian or "classical" physics reasoning that the effects of atoms and molecules are confined in space and time. This model supports the theory that a mechanical force acts on a physical object and thus, long-range exposure to EMF and RF cannot have an impact on health if no significant heating occurs. However, this is an incomplete model. A quantum physics model is necessary to fully understand and appreciate how and why EMF and RF fields are harmful to humans.26,27 In quantum physics and quantum field theory, matter can behave as a particle or as a wave with wave-like properties. Matter and electromagnetic fields encompass quantum fields that fluctuate in space and time. These interactions can have long-range effects which cannot be shielded, are non-linear and by their quantum nature have uncertainty. Living systems, including the human body, interact with the magnetic vector potential component of an electromagnetic field such as the field near a toroidal coil.26,28,29 The magnetic vector potential is the coupling pathway between biological systems and electromagnetic fields.26,27 Once a patient's specific threshold of intensity has been exceeded, it is the frequency which triggers the patient's reactions.

Long range EMF or RF forces can act over large distances setting a biological system oscillating in phase with the frequency of the electromagnetic field so it adapts with consequences to other body systems. This also may produce an electromagnetic frequency imprint into the living system that can be long lasting.26,27,30 Research using objective instrumentation has shown that even passive resonant circuits can imprint a frequency into water and biological systems.31 These quantum electrodynamic effects do exist and may explain the adverse health effects seen with EMF and RF exposure. These EMF and RF quantum field effects have not been adequately studied and are not fully understood regarding human health.

Because of the well documented studies showing adverse effects on health and the not fully understood quantum field effect, AAEM calls for exercising precaution with regard to EMF, RF and general frequency exposure. In an era when all society relies on the benefits of electronics, we must find ideas and technologies that do not disturb bodily function. It is clear that the human body uses electricity from the chemical bond to the nerve impulse and obviously this orderly sequence can be disturbed by an individual-specific electromagnetic frequency environment. Neighbors and whole communities are already exercising precaution, demanding abstention from wireless in their homes and businesses.

Furthermore, the AAEM asks for:

An immediate caution on Smart Meter installation due to potentially harmful RF exposure.

Accommodation for health considerations regarding EMF and RF exposure, including exposure to wireless Smart Meter technology.

Independent studies to further understand the health effects from EMF and RF exposure.

Recognition that electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a growing problem worldwide.

Understanding and control of this electrical environmental bombardment for the protection of society.

Consideration and independent research regarding the quantum effects of EMF and RF on human health.

Use of safer technology, including for Smart Meters, such as hard-wiring, fiber optics or other non-harmful methods of data transmission.

SUIZA: Physicians for the Environment Requests Strict Application of the Precautionary Principle. In 2012, the University of Z�rich noted a 10 times higher prevalence of blindness from birth (cataracts) in calves during the duration of operation of a relay antenna installed on a stable.

Switzerland: Waves from Wireless Communication: Physicians for the Environment Requests Strict Application of the Precautionary Principle Basel, 22 March 2012 Press Release from Physicians for the Environment (MfE - Switzerland)

Mobile Telephony : MfE requests stricter limit values

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) considers the waves emitted by wireless communication “possibly carcinogenic”. According to the IARC, the risk of cancer for this type of radiation is thus similar to that of the insecticide DDT, rightly banned. Physicians for the Environment (MfE) is concerned that the limit values expected to protect the Swiss population, notably vulnerable groups such as children and pregnant women, constitute insufficient protection. In a communication sent to the Federal Assembly, MfE thus requests strict application of the principle of precaution and - in view of the risk of cancer - lower limit values.

Children's rooms, housing, trams or offices are experiencing a growing exposure to radiation from diverse sources: babyphones, mobile telephony, wifi, etc., yet more and more studies warn against the serious health consequences of electromagnetic pollution for human beings and animals.

Cataracts in calves, Alzheimer's Disease, cancer ...

Since 2001, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) considered that magnetic fields emitted notably from current lines could be carcinogenic. A 2008 Swiss study postulates increased risk of contracting Alzheimer's Disease for residents living near power lines. Other studies on the risk of brain tumors establish a higher risk for this pathology in the case of mobile phone use. This is why the IARC, part of the United Nations, considered in 2011 that waves from mobile telephony are “possibly carcinogenic”. In 2012, the University of Z�rich noted a 10 times higher prevalence of blindness from birth (cataracts) in calves during the duration of operation of a relay antenna installed on a stable.

Strict application of the precautionary principle, lowering of limit values “From the medical point of view, it is urgent to apply the precautionary principle for mobile telephony, wifi, power lines, etc.” states Dr. Peter K�lin, President of Physicians for the Environment. The Austrian Medical Chamber has moreover just formulated the same requirement in regard to smart meters. In a communication dated 16 March 2012 to the Federal Council of the Federal Assembly, Physicians for the Environment requested to divide the value limits by 10. Dr. Yvonne Gilli, National Councillor, has repeated the demands of the MfE in requesting the Federal Council, if it has to protect the population, to apply the precautionary principle and to lower limit values.

Electromagnetic Fields from Mobile Phones: Health Effect on Children and Teenagers, RNCNIRP 2011 RESOLUTION OF RUSSIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON NONIONIZING RADIATION PROTECTION Professor Yury GRIGORIEV, Professor Valentina NIKITINA, Dr Oleg GRIGORIEV May 14, 2011

Electromagnetic Fields from Mobile Phones: Health Effect on Children and Teenagers, RNCNIRP 2011 RESOLUTION OF RUSSIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON NONIONIZING RADIATION PROTECTION Professor Yury GRIGORIEV, Professor Valentina NIKITINA, Dr Oleg GRIGORIEV May 14, 2011

RNCNIRP ASSESSMENT AND STATISTICAL DATA ON MORBIDITY OF CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS In April 2008, the RNCNIRP reviewed the short-term and long-term eﬀects of mobile phone use for children. In particular, it reviewed possible decrease of intellectual abilities and cognition together with possible increases in susceptibility to epileptic ﬁts, “acquired dementia” and degeneration of cerebral nervous structures [11]. The results of clinical studies have shown that chronic exposure to RF EMF may lead to borderline psychosomatic disorders [12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. In 2010, a number of papers published in Russian and foreign peer-reviewed journals showed a response to RF EMF exposure from the immune system [17, 18]. Unfortunately, statistical data published in 2009 and 2010 by ROSSTAT and UNICEF show that, since 2000 there has been a steady growth in the incidence of childhood diseases identiﬁed by RNCNIRP as “possible diseases” from mobile phone use [19, 20]. Of particular concern is the morbidity increase among young people aged 15 to 19 years (it is very likely that most of them are mobile phone users for a long period of time). Compared to 2009, the number of CNS disorders among 15 to 17 year-old has grown by 85%, the number of individuals with epilepsy or epileptic syndrome has grown by 36%, the number of “mental retardation” cases has grown by 11%, and the number of blood 4disorders and immune status disorders has grown by 82%. In group of children aged less than 14 years there was a 64% growth in the number of blood disorders and immune status disorders, and 58% growth in nervous disorders. The number of patients aged 15 to 17 years old having consultations and treatment due to CNS disorders has grown by 72%.

Scientific Panel on Electromagnetic Field Health Risks: Consensus Points, Recommendations, and Rationales Scientific Meeting: Seletun, Norway, November 17-21, 2009 Adamantia Fragopoulou,1 Yuri Grigoriev,2 Olle Johansson,3 Lukas H Margaritis,1 Lloyd Morgan,4 Elihu Richter5 and Cindy Sage6 1University of Athens, Athens, Greece; 2Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, Moscow (Russian Federation); 3Karolinska Institute and The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden ; 4Bioelectromagnetics Society, Berkeley, CA, USA; 5Hebrew University-Hadassah School of Medicine, Jerusalem (Israel); 6Sage Associates, Santa Barbara, CA, USA Summary: In November, 2009, a scientific panel met in Seletun, Norway, for three days of intensive discussion on existing scientific evidence and public health implications of the unprecedented global exposures to artificial electromagnetic fields (EMF). EMF exposures (static to 300 GHz) result from the use of electric power and from wireless telecommunications technologies for voice and data transmission, energy, security, military and radar use in weather and transportation. The Scientific Panel recognizes that the body of evidence on EMF requires a new approach to protection of public health; the growth and development of the fetus, and of children; and argues for strong preventative actions. New, biologically-based public exposure standards are urgently needed to protect public health worldwide.

AVAATE — 2010-11-14T19:31:12Z

Resoluci�n de Copenhague En la cara oculta de una de sociedad de telefon�a sin hilos Edificio del Parlamento, de Christiansborg, en Copenhague 09 de octubre de 2010 Esta resoluci�n fue adoptada en la conferencia de Copenhague sobre "la cara oculta de una sociedad de servicios inal�mbricos." Se basa en anteriores llamamientos internacionales, resoluciones y el Informe BioInitiative realizados por m�dicos y cient�ficos que afirman la necesidad de prevenci�n de da�os en la salud p�blica por la exposici�n a la radiaci�n de la tecnolog�a inal�mbrica. Juntos, nosotros, los abajo firmantes, solicitamos las siguientes demandas:

Una reducci�n sustancial de las directrices y de exposici�n a la radiaci�n por microondas artificiales inal�mbricas a un nivel de precauci�n biol�gico fundado, con un pico m�ximo de nivel de irradiaci�n en el exterior de 0.6 V/m tal como se recomienda por el informe BioInitiative

La informaci�n y las advertencias oficiales a la poblaci�n sobre los riesgos para la salud de la radiaci�n por microondas de alta frecuencia de la tecnolog�a inal�mbrica con especial atenci�n sobre mayores riesgos para los que est�n en condiciones de debilidad, las mujeres embarazadas y los ni�os

Notas (etiquetas) de advertencias y de informaci�n en los dispositivos que emitan radiaci�n, y un compromiso de los fabricantes para dise�ar productos que emitan la menos radiaci�n posible y s�lo cuando sea necesario (per�odo).

Restringir y desalentar el acceso de los ni�os al uso de dispositivos que emitan radiaci�n de microondas de alta frecuencia. - La Electro H�per Sensibilidad (EHS) debe ser reconocida oficialmente como una discapacidad funcional.

Promover la acci�n de las Autoridades Locales para que respeten la transparencia de la informaci�n sobre los lugares de ubicaci�n de estaciones base de antenas enlaces existentes (estaciones base de telefon�a m�vil) y de los previstos.

Hacer todo lo posible para minimizar la exposici�n a la radiaci�n del Wi-Fi en los espacios p�blicos ocupados por los grupos vulnerables, como ni�os en edad escolar, ancianos, hospitales, as� como en los transportes p�blicos.

Establecer Zonas de Refugio para el EHS o Zonas Blancas donde la gente Electro Hiper Sensible (EHS), que no soportan la radiaci�n de microondas de las radiofrecuencias puedan recargarse all� o vivir all�, as� como abastecer una asistencia financiera con el fin de proteger el interior de las casas usadas.

Promover una pol�tica de alternativas seguras para la salud a la tecnolog�a WiFi. - Realizar y promover la investigaci�n causal independiente.

1 de 5 Traducci�n al espa�ol por Soledad Sede Resoluci�n de Porto Alegre Nosotros, los cient�ficos abajo firmantes, fuimos honrados de participar en el seminario organizado por la Universidade Federal do R�o Grande do Sul y por el Ministerio P�blico de R�o Grande do Sul, patrocinado y promovido por el Ministerio de Salud de Brasil, por la Comisi�n Internacional de Seguridad Electromagn�tica, por el Consejo por el Medio Ambiente de Porto Alegre (COMAM/PA) y el Centro de Cuidado de la Salud de R�o Grande do Sul (CEVS/RS), entre otros; titulado “Seminario Internacional sobre Radiaciones no ionizantes, Salud y Medio Ambiente”, que tuvo lugar los d�as 18 y 19 de mayo de 2009 en Porto Alegre, Brasil. Esta resoluci�n adopta diversas resoluciones internacionales acordadas en esta �ltima d�cada por cient�ficos y m�dicos dedicados a esta tem�tica. Incluye resoluciones desarrolladas por la Comisi�n Internacional de Seguridad Electromagn�tica [1], se basa a su vez, en otras fuentes como el Bioinitiative Report[2] y un fragmento espec�fico del peri�dico Patofisiolog�a en campos el�ctricos y magn�ticos, publicado en Agosto de 2009 [3]. Concordamos, en que la protecci�n de la salud, el bienestar de las personas y del medio ambiente requiere una adopci�n inmediata del Principio Precautorio, que establece, “cuando hay indicadores de posibles efectos adversos, o se carece de certeza sobre los mismos, los riesgos de no hacer nada pueden ser mucho m�s significativos que los riegos de atender estas manifestaciones controlando las exposiciones. El Principio Precautorio cambia el enfoque, en pos de llevar adelante la penosa tarea de b�squeda de pruebas, de sospechar un riesgo y evitar que se lo desatienda”, hasta que nuevos descubrimientos cient�ficos reconozcan un �nicoo criterio para el establecimiento o la modificaci�n de los est�ndares de exposici�n a radiaciones no ionizante. Reconocemos que, tanto en Brasil como en el resto del mundo, ha habido una explosi�n sin precedentes, en la disponibilidad y el uso de campos International NIR and Health Workshop Seminario Internacional sobre RNI, la salud y el Ambiente 2 de 5 Traducci�n al espa�ol por Soledad Sede electromagn�ticos no ionizantes para comunicaciones el�ctricas e inal�mbricas (tel�fonos celulares e inal�mbricos, redes WI-FI y Wi-MAX, RFID, etc); a medida que se modifica la red el�ctrica y la infraestructura de banda ancha inal�mbrica, esta expansi�n deber�a acompa�arse de informes sobre el manejo del riesgo para seguir los pasos adecuados y proteger al p�blico de una exposici�n prolongada a bajos niveles o a extremadamente bajas frecuencias, as� como a la exposici�n a campos de radiofrecuencia electromagn�tica, que se han incrementado sustancialmente en los �ltimos a�os en el medio ambiente. Estamos preocupados por la evidencia que indica que la exposici�n a campos electromagn�ticos interfiere con la biolog�a humana b�sica y puede incrementar el riesgo de c�ncer y otras enfermedades cr�nicas. Los niveles de exposici�n en los que fueron observados estos efectos son muchas veces menores a los niveles est�ndares promulgados por la Comisi�n Internacional para la Protecci�n de Radiaci�n no Ionizante (ICNIRP) [4] y el Comit� Internacional de Seguridad Electromagn�tica (ICES) [5] del (IEEE). Estos est�ndares son obsoletos y fueron derivados de efectos biol�gicos ante exposiciones de corto tiempo e intensidad elevada, que causan efectos en la salud mediante la elevaci�n de la temperatura y la excitaci�n nerviosa descubierta d�cadas atr�s. Nuevas investigaciones indican que los campos electromagn�ticos pueden causar efectos da�inos para la salud a�n a muy bajos niveles de exposici�n. Los est�ndares del ICNIRP y del IEEE/ICES son apoyados y promovidos por ciertos grupos interesados en evitar la planificaci�n t�cnica, las leyes, y las recomendaciones precautorias al p�blico en general. Estamos profundamente alarmados porque los usos corrientes de la radiaci�n no ionizante de los tel�fonos celulares, computadoras port�tiles inal�mbricas y otras tecnolog�as ponen en riesgo la salud de ni�os y adolescentes, mujeres embarazadas, personas ancianas y otros que son m�s vulnerables debido a la edad o alguna discapacidad, incluyendo un estado de salud conocido como hipersensibilidad electromagn�tica. International NIR and Health Workshop Seminario Internacional sobre RNI, la salud y el Ambiente 3 de 5 Traducci�n al espa�ol por Soledad Sede Enf�ticamente, recomendamos las siguientes medidas precautorias: 1. Ni�os por debajo de los 16 a�os no deber�an usar tel�fonos celulares ni tel�fonos inal�mbricos, excepto para llamadas de emergencia; 2. La licencia y/o el uso de Wi-Fi, WIMAX, o cualquier otra clase de tecnolog�a de comunicaci�n inal�mbrica, interior o exterior, deber�a preferentemente no incluir la instalaci�n o la transmisi�n de se�ales en residencias, colegios, centros de atenci�n diaria, centros de ancianos, hospitales o cualquier otro establecimiento donde las personas pasan un tiempo considerable. 3. La licencia para la disposici�n e instalaci�n de infraestructura relacionada con la energ�a el�ctrica y la banda ancha inal�mbrica de telecomunicaciones, particularmente, telefon�a celular, Wi-Fi y WIMAX solo deber�a ser aprobada luego de ser anunciada a los o�dos p�blicos y la aprobaci�n garantizada con total consideraci�n y con la necesidad imperante de aplicar el Principio Precautorio. Las �reas m�s sensibles deber�an ser eludidas para proteger a la poblaci�n m�s vulnerable. 4. La humanidad deber�a ser incitada a continuar con el descubrimiento de nuevas formas de aprovechamiento de energ�a electromagn�tica no ionizante, buscando brindar beneficios a la sociedad, a trav�s de la definici�n de nuevos est�ndares de la exposici�n humana, que est�n basados en las realidades biol�gicas de la naturaleza y no exclusivamente, en la consideraci�n de la econom�a y necesidades tecnol�gicas. Por lo tanto, nosotros invitamos a todas las naciones a unirse a Suiza, Italia, B�lgica, Rusia, China, Estados Unidos (en pos del est�ndar FCC para una parcial exposici�n de la cabeza) as� como otros pa�ses y regiones que han elegido adoptar una estrategia m�s precautoria buscando garantizar mayor seguridad a la poblaci�n mientras se mantiene un servicio de buena calidad. International NIR and Health Workshop Seminario Internacional sobre RNI, la salud y el Ambiente 4 de 5 Traducci�n al espa�ol por Soledad Sede Hacemos una llamada de urgencia a todas las naciones a convocar un panel de expertos, seleccionado por candidatos recomendados de grupos de la sociedad civil (no s�lo aquellos preferidos por las industrias afectadas) para discutir tecnolog�a precautoria, leyes y advertencias para poder desarrollar pol�ticas que concilien las preocupaciones de la salud p�blica con el desarrollo adicional de la tecnolog�a inal�mbrica de comunicaciones, como por ejemplo los tel�fonos celulares, al mismo tiempo que la transmisi�n de energ�a el�ctrica y los sistemas de distribuci�n.

RESOLUCI�N DE LONDRES. "La abrumadora evidencia de los efectos no t�rmicos sobre la salud, muchas veces por debajo de las actuales directrices de exposici�n"

CB — 2009-05-12T16:54:41Z

RESOLUCI�N DE LONDRES*

En una conferencia cient�fica el 27 de noviembre 2007, denominada: “�Son adecuadas, en el momento actual, las recomendaciones sobre exposici�n a campos electromagn�ticos (CEM), de la Internacional Comission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, (ICNIRP)?”patrocinada por Roger Coghill y Robert Verkek de la Royal Society, Londres, de cient�ficos que apoyaban el Informe BioInitiative, ampliando la Resoluci�n de Benevento de 2006; han decidido que:

"Nosotros, los abajo firmantes, hacemos un llamamiento a la Agencia de Protecci�n t de la Salud del Reino Unido (UPA), Gobierno del Reino Unido y a todas las agencias de protecci�n de la salud y los gobiernos en todo el mundo, a que tomen nota de las conclusiones y recomendaciones del Informe BioInitiative (2007)[1] y sus predecesores, la Resoluci�n de Benevento (2006) [2], la Resoluci�n de Catania (2002) [3] y la Resoluci�n de Salzburgo (2000) [4] para reducir inmediatamente las directrices de exposici�n a la radiaci�n de radiofrecuencia (RF) y campos electromagn�ticos[1] de muy baja frecuencia (ELF-CEM) por las razones siguientes:

● La abrumadora evidencia de los efectos no t�rmicos sobre la salud, muchas veces por debajo de las actuales directrices de exposici�n.

● Casi el 100% de penetraci�n por los tel�fonos m�viles en el mercado de Europa, los EE.UU. y muchos otros mercados y el aumento de la penetraci�n en otros lugares.

● La gran proliferaci�n de las redes inal�mbricas y dispositivos m�s all� de las previstas en el momento en que se establecieron las directrices de exposici�n actuales.

Hacemos un llamamiento para volver a convocar la ICNIRP con car�cter de urgencia para evaluar de nuevo las directrices de exposici�n y para desarrollar y aplicar l�mites de seguridad p�blica basados biol�gicamente que refleje el conjunto de pruebas cient�ficas dado que las directrices ICNIRP existentes no son lo suficientemente protectoras sobre los efectos en la salud de las exposiciones cr�nicas a los niveles r�pidamente crecientes en el medio ambiente de campos electromagn�ticos (CEM) de baja frecuencia y de radiofrecuencia (RF).

Teniendo en cuenta esto

Hacemos un llamamiento a la creaci�n de un organismo independiente que defina nuevos valores l�mite de exposici�n basados en los efectos biol�gicos y/o acciones preventivas, para los campos electromagn�ticos de baja frecuencia y radiofrecuencia y microondas(RF)que hagan frente a los efectos biol�gicos que se informan, en exposiciones prolongadas, y que tengan como resultado consecuencias negativas para la salud

Ante la ausencia de tales recomendaciones sugerimos, como paso intermedio, que el Gobierno brit�nico y la Agencia de Protecci�n de la Salud (HPA) apliquen de manera inmediata las recomendaciones del Informe BioInitiative 2007 sobre CEM y RF y se esfuercen por establecer las recomendaciones de la Secretar�a de Salud P�blica del Gobierno de Salzburgo (2002) de 0,06 V / m al aire libre ** y 0,02 V / m para exposici�n a RF en el interior de domicilios.

Basado en el principio de precauci�n, los ni�os y los grupos vulnerables (como las personas con epilepsia y enfermedades del coraz�n) no deber�an estar expuestos a un riesgo de da�os, por lo tanto, proponemos que:

● Los ni�os menores de 16 a�os s�lo deben utilizar los tel�fonos m�viles y tel�fonos inal�mbricos para llamadas de emergencia.

● No a los sistemas Wi-fi, WiMax u otras formas de conexi�n inal�mbrica a la red en hogares, escuelas o �reas p�blicas o promover el uso de los mismos.

● Llevar a cabo auditorias independientes de manera regular y frecuente sobre las emisiones de las estaciones base (“antenas”), para garantizar que no superen las nuevas directrices basadas en los efectos biol�gicos, en cualquier localidad de forma individual o por acumulaci�n.Estas auditorias deben ser p�blicas y ampliamente disponibles para el an�lisis p�blico.

El principio de precauci�n debe aplicarse “

CAMPOS ELECTROMAGNETICOS Y SALUD

La evoluci�n darwiniana se ha realizado en presencia de campos electromagn�ticos naturales. La magnetorrecepci�n es uno de los mecanismos biol�gicos que permiten orientarse a las aves migratorias y las abejas. Ning�n cient�fico puede afirmar hoy en d�a que la cobertura de nuestros territorios europeos por m�ltiples campos electromagn�ticos artificiales no tiene o no tendr� efectos importantes sobre los comportamientos y la preservaci�n de la fauna.

Los efectos de los campos electromagn�ticos sobre nuestra salud est�n demostrados por la observaci�n cl�nica en numerosas investigaciones toxicol�gicas y biol�gicas y algunos estudios epidemiol�gicos. Actualmente existe en Europa un n�mero creciente de enfermos calificados como “electrohipersensibles”, personas intolerantes a los campos electromagn�ticos.

Aunque los mecanismos biol�gicos de la electrosensibilidad a�n no se conozcan, en Suecia est� reconocida oficialmente como una enfermedad incapacitante.

Nuestros m�dicos, actuando en virtud del juramento hipocr�tico, nosotros, investigadores, actuando en nombre de la verdad cient�fica, todos nosotros, m�dicos o investigadores de los diferentes Estados miembros de la Uni�n Europea, afirmamos con total independencia, que existe un n�mero creciente de enfermos intolerantes a los campos electromagn�ticos, que esta intolerancia representa un perjuicio grave para su salud y su vida profesional y familiar, que no se puede excluir que su enfermedad evolucione hacia una degeneraci�n del sistema nervioso, incluso hacia ciertos tipos de c�ncer y, consecuentemente, que este perjuicio necesite ser reconocido y reparado por los sistemas de protecci�n social de los diferentes Estados miembros de la Uni�n Europea.

Nosotros queremos prevenir a los poderes p�blicos de que en el estado actual del conocimiento, no se puede excluir que despu�s de un per�odo de exposici�n suficiente, esta intolerancia pueda afectar tambi�n a los ni�os y consecuentemente ser el origen de un problema de salud p�blica mayor en un futuro para todos los pa�ses que utilizan sin restricciones las tecnolog�as modernas basadas en campos electromagn�ticos.

A pesar de que los conocimientos cient�ficos sean a�n insuficientes, e incluso de que existan controversias en algunos temas, la comunidad cient�fica internacional es un�nime en reconocer la posibilidad de un riesgo grave de salud p�blica, requiriendo urgentemente la aplicaci�n del principio de precauci�n. Hacer el juego a ciertos lobbies e ignorar la existencia misma de los problemas sanitarios y medioambientales en favor de intereses econ�micos y financieros a corto plazo no podr�a ser m�s que perjudicial para el conjunto de nuestros conciudadanos.

ACTU ARTAC - 23/03/09

D�claration du 23 mars 2009 : Champs �lectromagn�tiques et sant�

L'�volution darwinienne s'est faite en pr�sence de champs �lectromagn�tiques naturels. La magn�tor�ception est l'un des m�canismes biologiques permettant aux oiseaux migrateurs et aux abeilles de se diriger. Nul scientifique ne peut aujourd'hui affirmer que la couverture de nos territoires europ�ens par de multiples champs �lectromagn�tiques artificiels n'a pas, n'aura pas, de retentissements majeurs sur les comportements et la pr�servation de la faune.

Les effets des champs �lectromagn�tiques sur notre sant� sont d�montr�s par l'observation clinique de tr�s nombreuses investigations toxicologiques et biologiques et certaines �tudes �pid�miologiques. Il existe aujourd'hui en Europe un nombre croissant de malades qualifi�s d'� �lectrohypersensibles �, devenus intol�rants aux champs �lectromagn�tiques.

Bien que les m�canismes biologiques de l'�lectrosensibilit� soient encore incompris, celle-ci est reconnue l�galement comme un handicap en Su�de.

Nous, m�decins, agissant en vertu du serment d'Hippocrate, nous, chercheurs, agissant au nom de la v�rit� scientifique, nous tous, m�decins ou chercheurs de diff�rents Etats membres de l'Union europ�enne, affirmons en toute ind�pendance de jugement, qu'existe un nombre croissant de malades devenus intol�rants aux champs �lectromagn�tiques, que cette intol�rance leur cr�� un pr�judice grave au plan de leur sant� et de leur vie professionnelle et familiale, qu'on ne peut exclure chez eux l'�volution vers une maladie d�g�n�rative du syst�me nerveux, voire certains cancers, et par cons�quent, que ce pr�judice n�cessite d'�tre reconnu et r�par� par les syst�mes de protection sociale des diff�rents Etats membres de la communaut� europ�enne.

Nous pr�venons les pouvoirs publics qu'en l'�tat actuel de nos connaissances, on ne peut exclure qu'apr�s une p�riode d'exposition suffisante, cette intol�rance puisse concerner aussi les enfants et donc �tre � l'origine d'un probl�me de sant� publique majeur dans les ann�es � venir dans tous les pays utilisant sans restriction les technologies modernes faisant appel aux champs �lectromagn�tiques.

Malgr� des connaissances scientifiques encore insuffisantes et m�me l'existence de controverses sur certains points, la communaut� scientifique internationale est unanime pour reconna�tre la possibilit� d'un risque de sant� publique pr�sum� grave, requ�rant d'urgence l'application du principe de pr�caution. Faire le jeu de certains lobbies et brader l'existence m�me des probl�mes de sant� et d'environnement au nom d'int�r�ts �conomiques et financiers � court terme ne pourrait �tre que nuisible � l'ensemble de nos concitoyens.

Statement on March 23 2009: Electromagnetic fields on our health

Darwinian evolution occurred in the presence of natural electromagnetic fields. Magnetoreception is one of the biological mechanisms used by migrating birds and bees for navigation. No scientist can currently be positively certain that the coverage of our European territories by multiple artificial electromagnetic fields does not have, and will not have, any major impact on the behaviour and conservation of fauna.

The effects of electromagnetic fields on our health have been established through clinical observation of a great number of toxicological and biological investigations, and through some epidemiological studies. There is, to this day in Europe, a growing number of “electrohypersensitive” patients, who have developed intolerance to electromagnetic fields.

Although the biological mechanisms of electrosensitivity remain unknown, it is legally acknowledged as a handicap in Sweden.

We, physicians, acting in accordance with the Hippocratic Oath, we, researchers, acting in the name of scientific truth, we all, doctors and researchers from the different States of the European Union, hereby state in full independence of judgement, that a growing number of patients are to be found who have become intolerant to electromagnetic fields, and that this intolerance is causing them serious prejudice in terms of health, professional and family life; that the possibility of their developing a neurodegenerative disease, or even some form of cancer, cannot be ruled out, and that this prejudice therefore ought to be acknowledged and compensated for by the social security systems of the different member States of the European community.

We hereby warn governments, that in view of our present knowledge, it is not to be ruled out that after a sufficient period of exposure, this intolerance might also affect children and therefore cause a major public health problem in years to come in all the countries making an unrestricted use of electromagnetic field based technologies.

Although our scientific knowledge remains incomplete, and some issues have actually given rise to controversy, the international scientific community unanimously acknowledges a potentially serious hazard on public health, urgently requiring the application of the precautionary principle. Going along with certain lobbies and jeopardizing health in the name of short term economical and financial interests can only cause harm to all our fellow citizens.
