DINAMARCA: Experiments with cress in 9th Class attracts international attention. Six trays seeds were put into a room without radiation, and six trays were put into another room next to two routers. Such a broadcast about the same type of radiation as an ordinary mobile. Then it was just to wait 12 days, observe, measure, weigh and take pictures along the way. And the result spoke his clear language: cress seeds next to the router was not grown, and some of them were even mutated or dead.

It is a recipe for a biology test so brilliantly that it has attracted international attention among acknowledged biologists and radiation experts. Behind the experiment are five girls from 9b in Hjallerup School in North Jutland, and it all started with that they found it difficult to concentrate per hour:

We all think we had experienced having difficulty concentrating in school, if we had slept with the phone next to your head, and sometimes also experienced having difficulty sleeping, explains Lea Nielsen, who is one of the five aspiring researchers. The experiment

The school was not equipped to test the effect of mobile phone radiation on them, but it was enough in fact very well. Therefore, the girls had to find an alternative. And the answer was karsefr�.

Six trays seeds were put into a room without radiation, and six trays were put into another room next to two routers. Such a broadcast about the same type of radiation as an ordinary mobile. Then it was just to wait 12 days, observe, measure, weigh and take pictures along the way. And the result spoke his clear language: cress seeds next to the router was not grown, and some of them were even mutated or dead.

It is truly frightening that there is so much influence, so we were even very marked by the result, says Lea Nielsen. The "sick" cress exposed to router. Photo: The girls from 9b Reactions

The experiment secured the girls the finals in the competition "Young Scientists", but it was only the beginning. Renowned scientists from England, Holland and Sweden has since shown great interest in the girls' project so far. From left: Lea Nielsen, Mathilde Nielsen, Signe Nielsen, Sisse Coltau and Rikke Holm.

The renowned professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Olle Johansson, is one of the impressed researchers. He will now repeat the experiment with a Belgian research colleague, Professor Marie-Claire Cammaert at the Universit� libre de Bruxelles, for the trial, according to him, absolutely brilliant:

The girls are within the scope of their knowledge and skills implemented and developed a very elegant job. The wealth of detail and accuracy is exemplary, choosing the right cress is very intelligent, and I could go on, he says.

He is not slow to send them an invitation on the road:

I sincerely hope that they spend their future professional life to researching, because I definitely think they have a natural aptitude for it. Personally, I would love to see the people in my team! No mobile by the bed

The five girls from northern Jutland has not yet decided their future careers. They are still very caught over all the sudden attention.

It has been such a constant sum of the stomach. I still can not understand it, says Lea Nielsen.

And Mathilde Nielsen offers in:

It's totally overwhelming and exciting. It's not something you just experience every day.

But there have also been other consequences of cress trial, which is quite low-practice nature.

None of us sleep with the phone next to the bed more. Either the subject far away, or it is added in another room. And the computer is always off, says Lea Nielsen.

BBC NATURE: Bumblebees sense flowers' electric fields. The findings are published in the online journal "Science". Prof Robert summed up: "We know they can detect these electrostatic fields... this is the tip of the iceberg, there's so much more that we haven't seen yet."

Bumblebees sense flowers' electric fields By Ben Aviss Reporter, BBC Nature

Beyond the naked eye: differences in electric signals provide bees with information about a flower

Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) can detect flowers' electric fields, scientists have discovered.

Results indicate floral electric fields improve the bees' ability to discriminate between different flowers.

When used with visual signals, electrical cues can enhance the bee's memory of floral rewards.

Researchers suggest this method of signalling provides rapid and dynamic communication between plants and pollinators.

The findings are published in the online journal Science Express.

Flowering plants reward pollinators with nectar and pollen in return for their assistance in the flowers' sexual reproduction.

Flowers attract pollinators using cues such as bright colours, patterns and enticing fragrances but this study suggests the importance of electrostatic information as an additional cue for the first time.

"Of course it has existed for a long time but this is a new way we can look at the interactions between bees and flowers," said Prof Daniel Robert of the University of Bristol.

"This doesn't throw away any of the previous work on cues that flowers are using, it adds another layer on top of that."

Prof Robert and his team were studying the mechanism of pollen transfer between flowers via an insect pollinator.

"What the pollen needs to 'know' is when to 'jump' onto the 'vehicle' - the bee - and when to get off it. So it's a selective adhesion type of question," Prof Robert told BBC Nature.

Electric attraction The team's investigation highlighted the possible importance of electrostatic forces.

This is the tip of the iceberg, there's so much more that we haven't seen yet”

Prof Daniel Robert University of Bristol "We looked at [existing] literature and realised that the bees were being positively charged when they fly around, and that flowers have a negative potential.

"There's always this electrical bias around. As a sensory biologist, suddenly I thought: can the bees sense that?" Prof Robert said.

Dominic Clarke, one of the lead authors, designed "fake" electric flowers in a laboratory "flying arena" to prove that electric fields are important floral cues.

Electric flowers with a positive charge offered a sucrose reward while those without offered a bitter quinine solution.

Bumblebees were allowed 50 visits in the flying arena and the last 10 visits showed the bees had learnt to tell the difference between the flowers.

Eliminating other variables in the bee 'flying arena' When the electric field was turned off, "the bee goes back to selecting at random because it hasn't got a way to tell the difference between them any more," commented Mr Clarke.

"That's how we know it was the electric field that they were learning."

"Animals are just constantly surprising us as to how good their senses are. More and more we're starting to see that nature's senses are almost as good as they could possibly be," Mr Clarke told BBC Nature.

Prof Robert summed up: "We know they can detect these electrostatic fields... this is the tip of the iceberg, there's so much more that we haven't seen yet."

ABSTRACT

Insects use several senses to forage, detecting floral cues such as color, shape, pattern, and volatiles. We report a formerly unappreciated sensory modality in bumblebees (Bombus terrestris), detection of floral electric fields. These fields act as floral cues, which are affected by the visit of naturally charged bees. Like visual cues, floral electric fields exhibit variations in pattern and structure, which can be discriminated by bumblebees. We also show that such electric field information contributes to the complex array of floral cues that together improve a pollinator's memory of floral rewards. Because floral electric fields can change within seconds, this sensory modality may facilitate rapid and dynamic communication between flowers and their pollinators.

Un Tribunal Holand�s revoca el permiso de la instalaci�n de una antena por la preocupaci�n por sus efectos en las abejas

Lunes 5 de noviembre de 2012 | 14:18 CET | Noticias

Un tribunal de Zutphen, Holanda ha anulado el permiso para una antena UMTS debido a la actividad ap�cola en la zona. El municipio Winterswijk dio a KPN el permiso para construir la torre en noviembre de 2010. Cinco residentes locales presentaron una apelaci�n en contra de la autorizaci�n, y el tribunal consider� que la ciudad no motiv� su decisi�n lo suficientemente bien como para mostrar que no habr�a consecuencias negativas de la estaci�n base. Uno de los residentes cr�a abejas en torno a 80 metros del lugar propuesto, en el recurso interpuesto contra el sitio, se refiri� a la investigaci�n en Alemania y Suiza sobre los efectos de la radiaci�n electromagn�tica en las abejas. La ciudad se�alo otras investigaciones que muestran las muertes de abejas relacionados con otros factores, y dijo que la radiaci�n en este caso ser�a mucho menor que en la investigaci�n alemana. Sin embargo, el tribunal consider� que la ciudad necesitaba para proporcionar fuentes m�s concretos de investigaci�n para sustentar su argumento y que no se puede descartar que la antena pueda tener efectos en las abejas.

Dutch court overturns cell permit on concern for bees Monday 5 November 2012 | 14:18 CET | News A court in Zutphen, Netherlands has annulled a permit for a UMTS antenna due to beekeeping activities in the area. The Winterswijk municipality gave KPN the permit to build the tower in November 2010. Five local residents filed an appeal against the permit, and the court found that the city did not motivate its decision well enough to show there would be no negative consequences from the cell site. One of the residents keeps bees around 80m from the proposed site; in the appeal against the site, he pointed to research in Germany and Switzerland on the effects of electromagnetic radiation on bees. The city pointed to other research showing bee deaths related to other factors and said the radiation in this case would be much less than in the German research. However the court found that the city needed to provide more concrete sources of research to sustain its argument and it could not be ruled out that the site would have an effect on the bees.

INDIA: Cellphones ring in death knell for plants : Study

AB — 2012-10-12T21:31:17Z

Cellphones ring in death knell for plants : Study Rupera, TNN | Oct 7, 2012, 11.05PM IST

VADODARA: Even as Union government has rolled out new norms to reduce impact of cellphone radiation on people, a new study has revealed that the increasing electromagnetic wave energy (EMWE) pollution is adversely impacting even plant issues.

EMWE pollution is caused due to mobile towers, power plants, high voltage towers and diagnostic tools which use electromagnetic waves of different frequencies in radio wave spectrum.

A group of scientists of Gujarat after studying the impact of EMWE on tulsi and spinach have concluded that the electromagnetic waves leave behind harmful effect even on plants.

The scientists selected the two types of plants and raised them by providing nutrients, water and temperature under laboratory conditions. These plants were exposed by EMWE of frequency 900 Mega hertz and field strength 1.9 milli tesla for 72 hours.

The scientists carried out both physiological and biochemical analysis of these plants.

They noticed that morphological changes like decrease in growth rate in terms of height, number of branches and leaves is seen in such plants. Their leaf size gets decreased, leaves become more brittle and they fell off early.

"The biochemical tests indicated that after exposure there is a decrease in assimilatory pigments like chlorophylls and anthocyanins which shows decrease in photosynthetic rate in plants. At the same time, the carotenoid pigment content increased which resulted in the aging effect," director of Junagadh-based Noble Group of Institutions Ved Vyas Dwivedi said.

Dwivedi carried out the research along with Chandni Upadhyaya, lecturer at Anand-based P M Patel Institute of Biotechnology and Trushit Upadhyaya, assistant professor at Charotar University of Science and Technology (CHARUSAT) at Changa.

"At the same time, carbohydrates like starch and cellulose which are the main constituents of leaf cell wall decrease upon long term exposure. Sugar and water content also got decreased," said Dwivedi.

Shockingly, in tulsi, which is a medicinal plant, its anti-microbial activity reduced after the plant was exposed to electromagnetic waves.

Protein content of electromagnetically exposed and unexposed plants was analyzed by the scientists and comparative study indicated difference in protein profiling of the exposed plants. "Protein content of those plants which were exposed to radiation had fallen drastically compared to those plant which were grown naturally," added Dwivedi.

According to the scientists, cellular service providers and operators have specified limits by defining their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for human bodies but they have nothing specified for the plants.

"If plants and trees are not taken care of, then it would be unrealistic to think of green world in a few years," they say.

The scientists now plan to submit their work and results to Gujarat Council on Science and Technology, Gandhinagar so that a mass scale awareness campaign can be taken up.

High frequency (900 MHz) low amplitude (5 V m-1) electromagnetic field: a genuine environmental stimulus that affects transcription, translation, calcium and energy charge in tomato.

High frequency (900 MHz) low amplitude (5 V m-1) electromagnetic field: a genuine environmental stimulus that affects transcription, translation, calcium and energy charge in tomato. Roux D, Vian A, Girard S, Bonnet P, Paladian F, Davies E, Ledoigt G. Source

Using an especially-designed facility, the Mode Stirred Reverberation Chamber, we exposed tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. VFN8) to low level (900 MHz, 5 V m(-1)) electromagnetic fields for a short period (10 min) and measured changes in abundance of three specific mRNA soon after exposure. Within minutes of electromagnetic stimulation, stress-related mRNA (calmodulin, calcium-dependent protein kinase and proteinase inhibitor) accumulated in a rapid, large and 3-phase manner typical of an environmental stress response. Accumulation of these transcripts into the polysomal RNA also took place (indicating that the encoded proteins were translated) but was delayed (indicating that newly-synthesized mRNA was not immediately recruited into polysomes). Transcript accumulation was maximal at normal Ca(2+) levels and was depressed at higher Ca(2+), especially for those encoding calcium-binding proteins. Removal of Ca(2+) (by addition of chelating agents or Ca(2+) channel blocker) led to total suppression of mRNA accumulation. Finally, 30 min after the electromagnetic treatment, ATP concentration and adenylate energy charge were transiently decreased, while transcript accumulation was totally prevented by application of the uncoupling reagent, CCCP. These responses occur very soon after exposure, strongly suggesting that they are the direct consequence of application of radio-frequency fields and their similarities to wound responses strongly suggests that this radiation is perceived by plants as an injurious stimulus.

INDIA. Radiation from mobile towers may affect wildlife

Radiation from mobile towers may affect wildlife' Last Updated: Friday, August 10, 2012, 16:34

Tags: Radiation, Mobile tower, Environment Ministry `Radiation from mobile towers may affect wildlife` New Delhi: Radiation from mobile towers may have varying negative impact on wildlife especially birds and bees, according to the Environment Ministry.

Amid concerns over health hazards and impact on wildlife due to mobile tower radiation, the Environment Ministry has issued an advisory asking the Department of Telecommunications not to permit new mobile towers within a one-km radius of the existing ones.

Noting there was a need to prevent the negative impact of electro-magnetic radiations (EMR) on birds and bees, the Ministry directed that the new towers should be constructed with utmost care and precautions "so as not to obstruct flight path of birds, and also not to increase the combined radiation from all towers in the area".

"To prevent overlapping of high radiation fields, new towers should not be permitted within a radius of one km of the existing towers. The sharing of passive infrastructure if made mandatory for Telecom Service Providers can minimise the need of having additional towers," it said.

The advisory has been issued on the basis of an expert committee study on the possible impact of communication towers on wildlife and bees. The panel was constituted by the Environment Ministry in 2010.

The Ministry asked the DoT that location and frequencies of cell phone towers and other towers emitting EMR should be made available in the public domain.

"This can be at city/district/village level. Location- wise GIS mapping of all cell phone towers should be maintained which would, inter alia, help in monitoring the population of birds and bees in and around the mobile towers and also in and/or around wildlife protection areas," the advisory said.

It said that there was an "urgent need" to refine the Indian standard on safe limits of exposure to EMR.

Till the Indian standard is reformed, a precautionary approach shall be preferred to minimise the exposure levels and adopt stricter norms possible, without compromising on optimum performance of the networks, it said.

Lettre recommand�e au Juge d'Instruction de.....

Concerne : perte de colonies d'abeilles durant l'hiver 2011-2012

Madame, Monsieur,

Il y a deux ans, j'avais h�sit� � d�poser plainte par rapport � des pertes tr�s importantes de ruches durant l'hiver 2009-2010 (11 colonies sur 18). Je ne l'avais pas fait, car je l'avais mis sur des caprices de la m�t�o ou la pression des acariens varroas sur mes colonies d'abeilles, qui n�anmoins avaient �t� trait�es correctement contre ce parasite.

Ce printemps 2012, j'ai constat� que j'avais perdu 14 ruches sur 18 � mon rucher de ......... (VD). Un tel niveau de pertes est proprement inacceptable. Je pratique l'apiculture depuis 1986 et je peux dire que je n'ai jamais connu des pertes pareilles.

De par le pass� je perdais chaque ann�e une ruche sur dix, voire deux, au maximum. L'ann�e pass�e, comme chaque ann�e, j'ai bien entretenu mes colonies. J'ai hivern� dix-huit colonies fortes, leur ai prodigu� tous les traitements prescrits (acide formique d�s ao�t + acide oxalique en d�cembre) et les ai nourries correctement durant le mois d'ao�t. A l'approche de l'hiver mes ruches pr�sentaient encore des r�serves de nourriture importantes, n'�taient pas souill�es (par la dysenterie due � la nos�mose), et ne pr�sentaient pas les signes de loques (europ�enne ou am�ricaine).

Au d�but du printemps 2012, quatorze de mes ruches �taient vides de leurs abeilles. Il en restait une ou deux poign�es d'abeilles dans les quatre ruches restantes.

La perte d'une colonie pour l'apiculteur repr�sente le co�t suivant :

co�t de la colonie 300 Frs (colonie avec reine sur 10 cadres b�tis, remplis de nourriture, de pollen et de couvain) perte de la r�colte de l'ann�e, soit 25 kg environ, � 24 Frs le kg, cela fait : 600 Frs. le travail de l'apiculteur, soit environ 10 heures : 1000 Frs soit un total de 1900 Frs par colonie.

Mon pr�judice cette ann�e a �t� donc d'environ Frs 26600. Voil� la r�paration que je demande de la part des responsables de cette perte ou de la part de l'Etat dans la mesure o� il aurait manqu� � son devoir d'assurer un environnement sain.

Je suis conscient que les autorit�s apicoles font des efforts avec le soutien des autorit�s cantonales et f�d�rales pour se battre contre ces mortalit�s excessives des colonies. Je sais aussi que les causes sont complexes et multifactorielles. Mais je constate la chose suivante :

En janvier 2012, alors que la saison apicole �tait depuis longtemps termin�e, j'ai entendu, dans quelques-unes des mes colonies, les reines chanter ! C'est un ph�nom�ne absolument sans pr�c�dent � cette �poque de l'ann�e ! Normalement, les reines chantent durant le printemps, pour annoncer l'essaimage naturel des colonies, avec la moiti� des abeilles qui restent dans la ruche avec la nouvelle reine. Mais en janvier mes colonies se sont totalement vid�es en l'espace de un ou deux jours ; il n'y avait plus d'abeilles, et aucun cadavre d'abeilles mortes, ni dans la ruche, ni dans les alentours imm�diats.

Des faits similaires, j'en ai depuis entendus venant d'autres coll�gues apiculteurs. Apr�s m'�tre renseign� aupr�s de conseillers apicoles pour savoir quelle pouvait �tre la cause de ces disparitions incongrues d'abeilles durant l'hiver, j'ai appris qu'une des causes potentielles pouvait �tre due aux effets d�l�t�res de la t�l�phonie mobile.

En effet, la presse a fait �tat de la publication scientifique � comit� de lecture Apidologie sur les r�sultats de travaux effectu�s avec t�l�phones portables mis � proximit� des abeilles ("Mobile phone-induced honeybee worker piping" ; volume 42, num�ro 3 (2011), pages 270-279, DOI: 10.1007/s13592-011-0016-x). Ce travail scientifique montre la chose suivante : les abeilles sont perturb�es par les ondes de la t�l�phonie mobile, cette derni�re amenant un changement dans le comportement des abeilles en induisant le signal de l'essaimage au travers du chant des abeilles ouvri�res ("worker piping" en anglais). Dans la Revue Suisse d'Apiculture du mois de novembre 2011, il a �t� sugg�r� que les abeilles sont perturb�es en l'absence de t�l�phones portables � proximit� des ruches lorsqu'il y a une pollution �lectromagn�tique intense comme celle qui a lieu durant la nuit du nouvel-an (num�ro 1330, pages 24-26).

Je d�sire de la sorte qu'une enqu�te s�rieuse et ind�pendante soit men�e. Il faut v�rifier les valeurs �lectromagn�tiques de la t�l�phonie mobile � proximit� de mon rucher � diverses p�riodes de l'ann�e mais surtout depuis fin octobre jusqu'au mois de mars. Il faut le v�rifier avec les appareils de mesure idoines comme par exemple un appareil qui enregistre tout le spectre �lectromagn�tique en continu, et comparer les r�sultats obtenus avec les pertes de colonies d'abeilles (un tel appareil existe comme p. ex. le Satimo EME spy 140 qui ne n�cessite pas la pr�sence d'un technicien en permanence � proximit� de l'appareil).

Evidemment, les pratiques et traitements agricoles (pesticides, insecticides, engrais verts, etc.) aux alentours de mon rucher doivent �galement �tre investigu�es, car je veux �tre s�r que ce n'est pas � cause d'une agriculture polluante que mes abeilles sont mortes. Je demande donc qu'une analyse pr�cise des moyens utilis�s sur les cultures, de m�me que les cons�quences potentiellement nuisibles de l'usage des engrais verts, soit effectu�e.

A mon sens, un Etat de droit doit assurer la s�curit� et la qualit� de la vie de sa population. En l'esp�ce, j'ai subi un dommage cons�quent, tout � fait exceptionnel. Ce genre de dommages est observable depuis cinq � six ans mais �tait inexistant auparavant. Pendant 20 ans, les pertes ont �t� normales, et ce malgr� le varroa (parasite) que l'on conna�t depuis les ann�es 1985 environ. Je fais donc appel aux autorit�s juridiques pour qu'elles fassent avancer ce dossier avec l'aide des autorit�s politiques.

Je d�pose donc, par la pr�sente, plainte p�nale contre X pour empoisonnement environnemental de mes colonies, au sens des articles 684 CC (nuisances � l'environnement) et 41 CO (dommages) et demande une investigation de qualit�. Vu l'importance du maintien de l'abeille domestique dans notre �cosyst�me, un refus d'entr�e en mati�re de la part des autorit�s (par manque de temps, d'argent, ou par manque de donn�es scientifiques fiables) sera � mon avis irrecevable.

Je me refuse � entendre � nouveau les sempiternels discours du service f�d�ral apicole du Liebefeld, qui nous rab�che � longueur d'ann�es les m�mes arguments au sujet de la perte des colonies d'abeilles qui ne serait due, selon eux, principalement qu'aux varroas et aux maladies virales et bact�riennes associ�es. Ce sont l� des causes biologiques li�es � la perte des colonies d'abeilles. Il y a d'autres causes que je qualifierais d'anthropiques, avec parmi celles-ci les ondes �lectromagn�tiques de la t�l�phonie mobile et les pesticides. Il est inacceptable, et pour tout dire �coeurant, que tant d'acteurs, encore aujourd'hui, s'ing�nient, souvent gr�ce � la passivit� des autorit�s, de m�me qu'en toute impunit�, � polluer notre environnement de vie. Quand bien m�me il y a des int�r�ts �normes pour maintenir une industrie des pesticides ou de la t�l�phonie mobile extr�mement rentable financi�rement, le principe de la sauvegarde du vivant est � mon sens sup�rieur aux int�r�ts financiers bien compris.

J'informe de cette d�marche toute une s�rie d'acteurs diff�rents : autorit�s apicoles, politiques et m�dias (cf. infra l'indication des r�f�rences).

Je vous remercie pour le s�rieux que vous accorderez � cette d�marche dont vous comprendrez, je l'esp�re, le fondement citoyen et positif, et vous adresse, Madame, Monsieur, l'expression de mes sentiments les plus distingu�s.

INDIA: Mobile towers hurting biological systems of birds: Study

Mobile towers hurting biological systems of birds: Study IANS | Oct 12, 2011, 07.14PM IST

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from mobile towers was interfering with the biological systems of birds. NEW DELHI: Electromagnetic radiation ( EMR) from mobile towers was interfering with the biological systems of birds, a study released by the environment ministry said and called for a law for the protection of flora and fauna.

"The review of existing literature shows that the EMRs are interfering with the biological systems in more ways than one and there had already been some warning bells sounded in the case on bees and birds, which probably heralds the seriousness of this issue and indicates the vulnerability of other species as well," the study found.

The ministry in September 2010 had constituted a 10-member committee under Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) director Asad Rahmani to study the impact of mobile phone towers on birds and bees and formulating guidelines for their installations.

The expert group reviewed 919 studies done in India and abroad on the ill effects of mobile towers in animal, birds and insects. Of the 919 studies, the team found that 593 showed the negative impact of mobile towers on birds, bees, human, wildlife and plants.

Quoting from an international study that radio frequency pollution appears to constitute a potential cause for the decline of animal populations, it said there was urgent need to focus more scientific attention to this area before it would be too late.

The committee highlighted that studies from India on the impact of cell phone tower radiation on birds and wildlife are almost nonexistent.

Nearly 800 million Indians have mobile phones, making it the second largest mobile phone-subscriber population in the world after China.

"At present, there are nearly 15 companies providing mobile telephony. However, necessary regulatory policies and their implementation mechanism have not kept pace with the growth of mobile telephony," it said.

The expert group suggested introducing a law for the protection of urban flora and fauna from emerging threats of electromagnetic radiation.

"To prevent overlapping high radiations fields, new towers should not be permitted within a radius of one kilometre of existing towers. If new towers must be built, construct them to be above 80 feet and below 199 feet ... to avoid the requirement for aviation safety lighting," it said.

The groups also suggested displaying bold signs and messages on the dangers of cell phone tower and radiation which is emitted from it in and around the structures where the towers are erected.

"Strictly control installation of mobile towers near wildlife protected areas, important bird areas, turtle breeding areas, bee colonies and zoos up to a certain distance that should be studied before deciding and should also be practical," it said.

The group called for putting the locations of cell phone towers and other radiating towers along with their frequencies in public domain. "Public consultation to be made mandatory before installation of cell phones towers in any area," it added.
