Researcher Zorach Glaser, Ph.D. spent decades archiving studies that examine the link between certain health issues and exposure to microwave and radio frequencies. Scholars and the public are now invited to help review Glaser’s documents.

Researcher’s Archive of 4,000 Documents Reveal Government Knew Decades Ago About the Harmful Impact of Wireless Technology on Human Health

Zorach (Zory) Glaser Ph.D., LT, MSC, USNR, is one of the most important scientists to study the impact of wireless technology on human health. His career as a government research scientist spans decades working for the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Public Health Service, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Bureau of Radiological Health.

Glaser’s extensive archive of nearly 4,000 documents, now available to the public, provides clear evidence that the harmful effects of wireless were known long before cell phones and wireless technology were commercialized in the early 1980s. 

The archive materials reveal that the U.S. government, particularly the military, knew for decades of the harm wireless technology can cause to human health. During World War II, the U.S. military started to use radar, and the use of radio telecommunications systems was growing.

Soldiers working with these systems, which use radio and microwave frequencies  — the same frequencies used for wireless devices such as cell phones and Wi-Fi — began to complain of adverse health effects from exposure to the radiation emitted by these systems. 

At the time, the illness experienced by these soldiers was referred to as “Radiation Sickness /Microwave Sickness.” 

Glaser was assigned by the U.S. Navy’s Naval Medical Research Center to investigate. He spent about a decade collecting every study conducted within and outside the U.S. showing that the radiation emitted from radio frequencies (RFs) and microwave frequencies may cause adverse health effects. 

Dr. Glaser’s report, “Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena (“Effects”) and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation,” was published in 1971. The report references more than 2,300 studies showing multiple adverse biological responses to radio- and microwave-frequency radiation.

Pages 5-12 of the report’s bibliography list these adverse effects, including damage to vital organs and other tissues and the central nervous system, physiological and psychological effects, blood and vascular disorders, metabolic and gastrointestinal disorders, and endocrine and histological changes.

Glaser’s 1976 updated report includes 3,700 studies which confirm the soldiers’ complaints.

At that time, it was mostly only military personnel who were exposed to high levels of microwaves and RF radiation and who developed Microwave/Radiation Sickness. 

But today, the whole population is exposed to levels of radiation which are millions and sometimes billions of times higher than they were when Glaser started his work a few decades ago.

 

The “Microwave Sickness” symptoms suffered then by the military personnel are now widely seen among growing numbers of people in the general population who are exposed to this electro-smog pollution from wireless  devices. The sickness, also referred to as electro-sensitivity, is estimated to affect 10% of the general population.

Glasers’ studies and reports are of the utmost importance and relevance to existing harms from current wireless technology, including 5G, cell towers, Wi-Fi and cell phones which use the same type of frequencies and intensities as those studied by Glaser. For this reason Glaser’s reports have been crucial in supporting advocacy efforts and letting the public know that despite what the government and telecom say, there is more than ample evidence of harm from these exposures.

A few years ago, when Glaser realized the importance of his archives, he donated them  to Dr. Magda Havas, Ph.D. of Trent University in Canada. Havas, an associate professor of environmental and resource studies, has worked for more than a decade to expose the harms of wireless technology. 

According to Havas, Glaser’s archive contains quite a few “gems.” “Zory was a packrat (his words) and he kept everything, Havas said. “I found one paper that was circulated to only nine people with health recommendations that were ignored.”

To make these important documents available to the public, Havas and her team have worked for years to scan all the documents and make them searchable. So far Havas’ team has scanned 20 out of the 25 boxes of Glaser’s archives. 

Because of the archive’s magnitude, the public is invited to help review the documents. Scholars who are interested are invited to write short overviews of some of the more useful and relevant finds and post those overviews on Zory’s website. People who find important information are asked to let Havas know. 

If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact Dr. Magda Havas (drmagdahavas@gmail.com) with a subject heading of “Zory’s Archive.”

Radiation From Wireless Devices May Cause Breast Cancer, New Study Shows

Posted on December 21, 2020 by ES-Ireland

SOURCE ARTICLE : CHILDREN’S HEALTH DEFENSE

A meta-analysis of eight studies reveals that exposure to radiation from cell phones, iPads and laptops significantly increases the risk of breast cancer, especially for women over 50.

By Dafna Tachover

A new meta-analysis study reveals that exposure to radiation from wireless devices such as cell phones, iPads and laptops significantly increases the risk of breast cancer. 

The meta-analysis study (a statistical analysis that combines the results of multiple scientific studies) examined eight studies that were published between 1996-2015. The highest risk was found in women over 50. 

There are many studies that can provide a causal mechanism. For example, it has been shown that exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation (the radiation emitted from wireless devices) may cause a decrease in melatonin production, and studies have demonstrated that reduced melatonin levels may lead to breast cancer. 

Dr. John West, a breast cancer specialist, has published case studies which provide clinical support to these findings. West published some of these cases in a 2013 paper, “Multifocal Breast Cancer in Young Women with Prolonged Contact between Their Breasts and Their Cellular Phones.” These cases reveal breast cancer in women under 40 even though breast cancer is rare in women that young when there is no family history or genetic predisposition.

Four cases of women ages 21 to 39 show multifocal invasive breast cancer. The spread of the tumors and the fact that all of these women reported carrying their smartphones in their bra suggests a possible association with exposure to radiation from cell phones. 

West recently joined the advisory board of Physicians for Safe Technology, an organization of physicians and health professionals whose mission is to provide trusted leadership in promoting safer use of technology.

Other doctors report similar findings. In a video posted by Kevin Kunze, producer of the movie “Mobilize,” Dr. Robert Nagourney presents the case of one of his patients, Donna, a young healthy athletic woman who kept her cell phone in her bra and developed breast cancer. The spread of the tumors in her breast resembles the shape of the cell phone. 

A 10-year study by the U.S. government found clear evidence that cell phones cause  cancer. The study was conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the U.S. expert agency on toxins, and it was the biggest study of its kind. The results were confirmed by another major study by a leading scientific body, the Ramazzini Institute.

Nevertheless, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), which is entrusted with regulating the impact of wireless technology on health,, dismissed the results of the study and refused to review its 1996 guidelines that deny adverse health effects of wireless technology.In February 2020, Children’s Health Defense filed a lawsuit against the FCC challenging the FCC’s decision not to review the guidelines. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will hear oral arguments in the case on Jan. 25, 2021.

ILLNESS SUFFERED BY US DIPLOMATS LIKELY CAUSED BY PULSED MICROWAVE RADIATION – NATIONAL ACADEMIES OF SCIENCES REPORT SAY

Posted on December 7, 2020 by ES-Ireland

US embassy will be opened on July 20; Kerry will raise the ...

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Report “An Assessment of Illness in U.S. Government Employees and Their Families at Overseas Embassies” commissioned by the US State Department was released  by a committee of 19 experts citing “directed, pulsed radiofrequency energy” as “the most plausible mechanism” to explain the mystery illness suffered by  U.S. Embassy personnel. The New York Times describes how the report “provides the most definitive explanation yet of the illness that struck scores of government employees, first at the U.S. Embassy in Havana in 2016, and then in China and other countries. Many of the officers suffered from dizziness, fatigue, headaches, and loss of hearing, memory and balance, and some were forced into permanent retirement.”

The NAS report states that “overall, directed pulsed RF (radio frequency) energy, especially in those with the distinct early manifestations, appears to be the most plausible mechanism in explaining these cases among those that the committee considered.”

In 2018, Dr. Beatrice Golomb shared her published  paper  with the US State Department entitled “Diplomats’ Mystery Illness and Pulsed Radiofrequency/Microwave Radiation  which states, “A tremendous number of physicians and scientists and entities and scientific studies and government reports, in many nations, over many decades, have identified that RF/MW causes symptoms consistent with the spectrum now described for diplomats.” Her paper concludes that “Reported facts appear consistent with radiofrequency microwave  as the source of injury in diplomats in Cuba. Non diplomats citing symptoms from radiofrequency microwave  often with an inciting pulsed-radio frequency microwave exposure, report compatible health conditions.”

In March of 2018, JAMA published a study on the diplomats as they experienced the following symptoms:

  • 43% had MRI result finding of T2 hyperintensity (bright-foci) in the white matter, 
  • 76% had headaches, 
  • 57% had nervousness, 
  • 76% had memory problems, 
  • 71% had impaired concentration, 
  • 67% feeling cognitively slowed, 
  • 86% had sleep problems, and 
  • 67% had irritability.  

Wireless devices from cell phones, to baby monitors to Wi-Fi speakers and cell towers all emit pulsed radiofrequency microwave radiation. Although the levels emitted are lower than ICNIRP and FCC limits, they have been found to cause adverse effects in thousands of research studies which have found  memory deficits, behavioral problems, brain cancer, breast cancer, DNA damage, and headaches.

Abstract: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the World Health Organization(WHO) categorized in 2011 radiofrequency (RF) as a possible human carcinogen, Group 2B. During use of the handheld wireless phone, especially the smartphone, the thyroid gland is a target organ.During the 21st century, the incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing in many countries. We used the Swedish Cancer Register to study trends from 1970 to 2017. During that time period, the incidence increased statistically significantly in women with average annual percentage change (AAPC)+2.13%,95% confidence interval (CI)+1.43,+2.83%. The increase was especially pronounced during 2010–2017with annual percentage change (APC)+9.65%, 95% CI+6.68,+12.71%. In men, AAPC increased during 1970–2017 with+1.49%, 95% CI+0.71,+2.28%. Highest increase was found for the time period 2001–2017 with APC+5.26%, 95% CI+4.05,+6.49%. Similar results were found for all Nordic countries based on NORDCAN 1970–2016 with APC+5.83%, 95% CI+4.56,+7.12 in women from2006 to 2016 and APC+5.48%, 95% CI+3.92,+7.06% in men from 2005 to 2016. According to the Swedish Cancer Register, the increasing incidence was similar for tumors≤4 cm as for tumors>4 cm,indicating that the increase cannot be explained by over diagnosis. These results are in agreement with recent results on increased thyroid cancer risk associated with the use of mobile phones. We postulate that RF radiation is a causative factor for the increasing thyroid cancer incidence.

Submission to The Joint Committee on Disability Matters, Houses of the Oireachtas – November 2020

Posted on December 3, 2020 by ES-Ireland

Submission to The Joint Committee on Disability Matters, Houses of the Oireachtas

12th November 2020

As stated in the accompanying letter, the expertise of Electromagnetic Sense Ireland is based on real life experience, and many years of study and knowledge regarding the functional/environmental impairment Microwave Sickness/Electrohypersensitivity (EHS).  Dating back to its foundation as IERVN (Irish Electromagnetic Radiation Victims Network), ES-Ireland is a voluntary non-profit group comprised mainly of people suffering adverse health effects from Electromagnetic/Radiofrequency – WiFi (EMF/RF/WiFi) and in particular from pulsed Radiofrequency microwave emissions.  The website https://es-ireland.com is dedicated to creating awareness regarding the implications of this non-ionising radiation for the health of humans, wildlife and the environment based mainly on the  European Council Parliamentary Assembly Resolution 1815 (2011) The Potential Dangers of Electromagnetic Fields and Their Effect on the Environment. https://pace.coe.int/en/files/17994/html

Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) or electrosensitivity (ES) has been a health issue now for at least four decades.  A prime example of independent research on this issue is contained within the report BioInitiative: A Rationale for a Biologically-Based Public Exposure Standards for Electromagnetic Fields 2012 (Summary for the Public (2014 Supplement)). https://bioinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/sec01_2012_summary_for_public.pdf  This report produced by the BionItiative Working Group, an international collaboration of prestigious scientists and public health experts provides a summary of key scientific evidence, including EHS, from a total of 3,800 peer-reviewed research papers.   The daily lives of those who are actually suffering is seldom expressed and we take this opportunity to attempt a description of that.

 

The Daily Lives of those with Microwave Sickness/Electrohypersensitivity

People who are EHS are affected in different ways and to different extents but main effects have been identified as: severe crippling headaches, ‘brain fog’/loss of concentration, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, nose bleeds, ‘microwave hearing’, muscle tingling/sensation of crawling skin, abdominal cramps/digestive problems, heightened sensitivity to noise/light/chemicals, palpitations/arrhythmias, limb currents/ shooting pain, ‘chest tightness’, burning of skin, hand and leg dysfunction, immune problems, insomnia/sleep disruption.  Increased likelihood of long-term effects:  Cancer, neurological diseases, depression, significantly decreased sperm counts/genetic effects such as male sterility, miscarriage and birth defects.  (BioInitiative Report – Conclusions 2012).  In the year 2000 such symptoms were identified in the World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) Code of Diagnoses, version 10 (ICD-10; R68.8/now W90) and while some subjective symptoms may be treated by a medical physician the underlying cause still remains only the toxic environment.

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) and World Health Organization: A. International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) B. International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) http://www.es-uk.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/06.4-Disability-ICD-10-codes-ICF-Func.Disab-2018.pdf

Through experience and observation sufferers learn that being away from sources of EMF/RF/WiFi gives them relief and in this way they self-diagnose in the absence of any expertise or medical professionals trained in this subject.

The main issue for sufferers lies in an inaccessible environment associated with unsustainable levels of EMF both within and outside of their homes. Although effects are accumulative, those with less severe symptoms can initially manage their lives by taking measures to shield rooms with specialist paint and materials and/or their bodies with protective clothing etc – at great expense to themselves. For others, symptoms become so severe that they have no option but to move house, others move from place to place continuously, some resort to living in sheds; sleeping in cars, avoid public/social service providers, hospitals, schools etc. Some become prisoners in their own homes.  Needs such as shopping, attending the doctor, using public transport, use of social services etc., become almost impossible. At the severe stage there is an inability to continue participating in society or the social activities considered necessary for health and wellbeing. The daily toil of survival is a 24/7/365 operation. Some personal accounts are accessible on our website at  https://es-ireland.com/ehs-stories/

In 1998 and 2005 a group of EHS sufferers made presentations before Oireachtas Committees as noted in the Joint Committee on Public Enterprise and Transport report on Non-ionising Microwave Radiation Emissions from Communications Masts (1998) http://archive.oireachtas.ie/1998/REPORT_26111998_0.html

and the Joint Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Report on Non-ionising Radiation from Mobile Phone Handsets and Masts (2005). http://archive.oireachtas.ie/2005/REPORT_20050600_2.html

The suffering of these victims was, and continues to be, for those who have survived, completely ignored.

One of the most debilitating symptoms of EHS i.e. ‘microwave hearing’ is caused by the absorption of continuous microwave radiation (Wi-Fi/3G/4G/ 5G) on the brain, resulting in a ‘thermoelastic wave of acoustic pressure’ that travels to the inner ear (Lin & Wang).  This tortuous effect is added to by the continuous resonance from telecommunication mast emissions and their cooling equipment. The European Council Recommendations 1999/519/EC on the limitation of exposure of the general public to EMF (0Hz to 300 GHz) have recommended limits for pulse duration in the frequency range 0.3 to 10 GHz and for localised exposure of the head, ‘in order to limit and avoid auditory effects.’  The phenomenon of ‘microwave hearing’ was studied and published in the Journal of Applied Physiology as far back as July 1962 by Allan Frey. Recommended reading: Auditory Perception of Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Fields by Chung-Kwang Chou and Arthur W. Guy – Journal of Acoustical Society of America, Vol 71 (6): 1321 – 1334, June 1982 (published online 1998).  https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org

For many, the notion of a percentage of the public being affected to such an extent from modern technology is unbelievable.  However, other real evidence comes from the Insurance Industry, which withholds cover for risks linked to EMF/RF-WiFi. Insurance Company specialists in Emerging Risks have warned the insurance industry about the impact of potential risks from the ‘unforeseen consequences of electromagnetic fields.’ ‘The Electromagnetic Fields Exclusion (Exclusion 32) is now a General Insurance Exclusion applied across the market as standard.’ Therefore liability coverage for claims ‘Directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from or contributed to by electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetism, radio waves or noise’ has now been excluded from public liability policies. https://www.jrseco.com/lloyds-insurance-company-does-not-cover-health-damage-caused-byelectromagnetic-radiation/

 

Recommendations to the Committee

Recognition of EHS as an environmental impairment

EHS needs to be officially recognised as an environmental impairment/functional impairment and as a disability in order to enable access to necessary resources and to live an equal life in a society based upon equality as per the E.U. Human Rights Act and the U.N. Convention on Human Rights for People with Disabilities. An action plan needs to be drawn up which will enable citizens who are electro-sensitive to live, socialise and work on an equal basis with others

Establishment of EHS Hotline

The Introduction of a ‘hotline’ for EHS sufferers where a registry could be kept that would give some indication as to the numbers, geographical areas and scale of effects. This should also provide access to ‘experts’ including e.g. building biologists, bio-physicists and engineers who have the ability, skills and knowledge needed to measure EMF pollution in the homes of sufferers and suggest protective steps, with resources provided by the State.

Creation of White (EMF Free) Zones

Sufficient evidence already exists regarding adverse health effects of EMF to warrant immediate intervention that could commence with the provision of ‘white zones’ i.e. an area free of EMF/RF-WiFi in each county and in public places such as libraries, public transport, hospitals etc.

Public Participation in Decision-Making and Information Campaigns

One of the consistent points made by the E.U., and also referred to in the Aarhus Convention, ratified by Ireland in 2012, is that information regarding the risks associated with EMF should be provided to the public and also that public participation in decision-making regarding the environment should be made a priority. The dangers to the public are not being given sufficient prominence. Direct public participation in the decision-making process is a Constitutional right.

Reduction of Electrosmog in Wireless Local Networks

A system may be available that would assist in the reduction of electrosmog from wireless local area networks designed to reduce the risk of damage to health. Swisscom’s patent application confirms adverse health effects and also confirms that health destruction is ‘not dependent upon temperature increases. This system offers an initial solution to a difficult situation.

The recent review by Professor Martin Pall, a winner of eight international awards, entitled Wi-Fi is an important threat to human health, and published in Environmental Research 164 (2018) 405 – 416 considers repeated studies on Wi- Fi and other microwave frequency EMFs. He identifies seven effects that are consistently accepted as proven in 10 to 16 studies and which can therefore be scientifically referred to as established. These established effects are oxidative stress, sperm/testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects including EEG changes, apoptosis, cellular DNA damage, endocrine changes and calcium overload. The review informs that EMF effects are often cumulative and irreversible, and that EMFs may impact young people more than adults.

Andrew Goldsworthy (Biologist) responds to Eric van Rongen’s (ICNIRP) statements about 5G

Posted on November 25, 2020 by ES-Ireland

Source Article: https://www.emfsa.co.za  June 2020

Eric van Rongen “I’m the scientist who sets the global guidelines on 5G safety. Take it from me: 5G doesn’t cause cancer or spread COVID-19.” https://www.businessinsider.com/scientist-sets-guidelines-5g-safety-conspiracy-theories-debunked-2020-6?IR=T

Eric van Rongen:

“Contrary to many 5G conspiracy theories, phone radiation heats the human body the equivalent of having a cup of hot tea every two hours.”

“The science is really straightforward — there’s simply no solid evidence that anything other than a small amount of body heating may result from exposure to 5G radiofrequency fields.”

Andrew Goldsworthy (Biologist) responds to ICNIRP’s Eric van Rongen’s post featured above:

There are two main mechanisms by which non-ionising radiation such as that from cell-phones can damage living organisms. One is the heating effect and the other is the effect of low-frequency modulation.

1 The heating effect.

We cannot assume that the heating effect is uniformly distributed through living cells. The cells themselves are highly conductive, whereas the cell membranes have a very high resistance. Therefore, for any given current flowing through a tissue, nearly all of the heat will be generated in the cell membranes. Since these membranes constitute only about one thousandth of the total diameter of a typical cell and virtually all of the heat is being generated in them, the ICNIRP Guidelines, which are based on the assumption that cells and tissues are uniformly conductive, are approximately one thousand times too high.

2 The effect of modulation.

Living cell membranes are electrically non-linear and have a voltage across them of approximately 70mV. They are pierced by countless ion channels that behave like electrically biased Schottky diodes capable of rectifying and so demodulating any alternating signal (including microwave frequencies) with the demodulated low frequency components appearing between the inside and outside of the cell. This is what does most of the damage and here is why:

The cell membrane is mainly made of a lipid bilayer only about 10nM thick, with proteins such as ion channels “floating” in it. The membrane itself is negatively charged because it has outwardly directed negatively charged phosphate groups and is normally stabilised by divalent positive calcium and magnesium ions that cross-link them. But the demodulated cell-phone signal makes the negative membrane and its protective divalent ions move in opposite directions. This destabilizes the membrane and makes it more likely to perforate and collapse the voltage gradient across it. This, in turn, opens voltage-gated calcium ion channels in the membrane that let huge numbers of calcium ions into the cell down a massive 10,000:1 electrochemical gradient.

In nature, this increase in the internal calcium concentration is taken as an indicator to the cell that its membrane (and by implication, the whole cell) has been damaged and sets in train a series of repair mechanisms, which uses a great deal of metabolic energy. If it succeeds, the cell is repaired, if not, the cell dies, but either way a great deal of energy is used. This may in large part explain the chronic fatigue syndrome that was found in early mobile phone users (Yuppie flu) and is now much more widespread in the community due to our constant exposure to cordless phones, their base stations, WiFi and all the other wireless devices that current ICNIRP guidelines regard as safe.

Lastly, the relationship between 5G and COVID-19.

We cannot assume that because the 5G radiation is mainly absorbed by the skin that it cannot damage the rest of our bodies. If the energy of the radiation is disproportionately absorbed by the skin, then the damage to the skin and the blood and lymph circulating through it will also be disproportionately large. The effects of 5G on lymphocytes could be particularly damaging. They too will have their energy drained by the calcium influx caused by the radiation, have less to spare to generate their protective antibodies and so make the immune system less efficient. So, I guess you could say that 5G can promote the spread of COVID-19. That said, most other forms of information carrying (i.e.modulated) frequencies may be even more dangerous, particularly WiFi with its extremely low frequency (10Hz) beacon signal being possibly the most dangerous.

A GEEK RESEARCHES 5G. LETTER TO GRETA THUNBERG: HOW 5G CONTRIBUTES TO CLIMATE CHANGE

Posted on November 5, 2020 by ES-Ireland

Source Article: https://wsimag.com/science-and-technology

23 October 2020,   Katie Singer

Last Spring, after I spoke about the Internet’s footprint on a teleconference, I met Miguel Coma, a Belgian engineer. Thanks to the Internet, we have corresponded regularly and taught each other a lot about 5G, the fifth generation of mobile networks. The way he takes responsibility for his part of climate change really inspires me. Let me introduce you.

Dear Greta,

I’ve been a geek from the age of ten, when I started using and programming some of the first personal computers. I am 47 now. I am an engineer because I love technology, but living beings and nature also mean very much to me. I’m married, and I have three children, including two teenagers.

I was very lucky to be raised in a caring family with good values, however my parents did not teach me to think about the environment. At school, our planet’s future was never discussed, either. Meanwhile, I inherited my uncle’s passion for science and technology. I have always loved electronics, space exploration, astronomy, robots and supercomputers. Technology and science never bore me. (Chemistry does—nobody’s perfect.) Technology drives my will to understand and improve the world. Seeing the miracles that people can achieve when technology is used well gives me comfort.

In college, I learned how to build machines, systems and processes. I specialized in electronics and telecommunications. Whenever I talked with other engineers, we never discussed the ecological impacts of building, using or disposing of electronic devices. We focused on making attractive, reliable and affordable products and services. Innovation was all about technology, and only technology. As a student and then an engineer, working for the telecom industry (until twelve years ago), I never met experts in environmental or biological sciences.

At 33, I met my wife. She works for an environmental organisation. Through her, I started to realize the extent of environmental problems like global warming, pollution, e-waste and their impacts on living beings. I also started to connect with nature and got energized by observing tiny insects, flowers and the stars. (I have a telescope.) I increased my efforts to reduce our household’s waste, use renewable energy and buy energy efficient devices.

But I was still in the dark about problems caused by my own industry.

Then came the Covid-19 global pandemic. For the first time in my life, I had no job for several months. I used the time to do research. I remembered my wife telling me, in 2018, that she worried for our family’s health because of radiation emitted by 5G. At first, I considered the idea that 5G could harm us a conspiracy theory. My training taught me that only ionizing radiation is dangerous, and that exposure to the non-ionizing radiation levels used in telecommunications is perfectly safe. (Nonetheless, the industry recommends that mobile phone users keep a safe distance from their devices. Katie Singer and I will write about this in other letters. For now, you can read the fine print in your owner’s manual.)

I believe that technology should benefit our society. It should co-exist harmoniously with all living beings and ecosystems. But I have learned recently that technology can harm everything I care for, on a very large scale. Only a few years back, the odds that I would write to someone like you about re-thinking how to build the Internet would have been slim. Now, I want everyone to know 5G’s footprint. I want you to learn the key facts and have the widest possible picture about 5G so that you can make your own opinions. I encourage you to check and research the facts for yourself.

I researched 5G’s advantages and impacts—the applications it could make possible, the energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, worker hazards; its impacts to wildlife, public health, the economy and democracy. People call me a perfectionist. I wanted numerous viewpoints, so I cross-checked studies, reports and essays. I contacted scientists, engineers, non-profit associations, and even a philosopher.

As an engineer, I naturally started to read about 5G‘s technology and potential applications. Compared to 4G, 5G is designed to offer faster wireless connections. It aims to connect many more devices than 4G can, and, when necessary, to respond faster and more reliably. For mobile network operators as well, 5G means technical progress. The industry promotes 5G as a digital revolution, where every person and every device will be connected, enabling applications that we have not yet imagined. The industry claims that 5G will provide the backbone of a connectivity-based future economy.

But we already have billions of devices connected to the Internet. We call this the Internet of Things, and it is growing, rapidly, even without 5G. Moreover, alternative technologies already enable autonomous vehicles and tele-surgery, smart cities and more. To my surprise, I found publications from engineers, analysts and even a mobile operator who report that smartphone users are satisfied with 4G and will experience no substantial benefit from 5G. (The people who had the courage to reveal this give me courage.)

5G mainly stands to benefit large industries. For example, 5G can help robots use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to speed construction, modification, painting and the movement of parts along an assembly line. It could make some factory floors more efficient with nearly instantaneous interactions, and enable automated quality control. By replacing network cables and Wi-Fi with 5G, many more robots could connect in the same space. However, we do not need an extensive, public 5G network to connect a factory or other industries. Each manufacturer could have their own, private 5G network.

Unemployment, food insecurity, Covid-19, education, climate change and so many other issues already burden governments and taxpayers. Nevertheless, 5G manufacturers seeking higher profits are pressuring governments to facilitate the deployment of massive numbers of 5G antennas in every city and rural area. If consumers are already satisfied with 4G, and if industries can use a private 5G network, I wonder: given our global economic and environmental crises, is deployment of 5G public networks justified?

When I started looking at 5G’s environmental footprint, I had several shocks. First, I realized that the information-communication-technology (ICT) industry uses enormous and rapidly increasing amounts of electricity–and generates enormous amounts of greenhouse gases. And yet, neither I nor the experts I contacted could find a study about 5G’s energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.

I have to admit that I am part of the ICT industry. I helped create the problems. Remaining silent about my realizations would make me an even larger part of the problem. Because I am now aware that 5G could put a halt to the environmental progress you and others have made, I feel an urge to inform citizens around the world what I have learned, and to help find legal ways to limit the use of 5G to where it is truly required.

Greta, every bit of data that travels the Internet consumes energy. The more data used, the more energy consumed. While 5G will use less energy than 4G to transmit the same data (and so we can call 5G more energy efficient), 5G will consume about three times more electricity than 4G. 5G will use much shorter waves to transmit data faster. These waves do not travel far. So, they require millions of new radiation-emitting small antennas, located much closer to homes, schools and offices. Constructing millions of new antennas and billions of 5G compatible devices will require a long series of energy intensive processes, ranging from ore extraction to manufacturing of devices and infrastructure. Building a new, international network that operates in every city and rural area will create unimaginable amounts of greenhouse gases, toxic emissions, radiation and electronic waste.

In spite of the industry’s claims, 5G will not help to reduce climate change. It will speed it up. I will elaborate on this in future letters.

I’m an engineer, yes. Still, I want technology to respect wildlife, public health and the realities of climate change. I hope that as users of technology, we will learn the impacts of our digital purchases and usage so that we can take responsibility and reduce our digital footprint. I hope that governments and regulatory bodies will create ambitious policies that protect our environment and our health. This would be true progress for our society and next generations.

Miguel Coma is an engineer in telecommunications and an Information Technology architect. After a decade in telecommunications (with two mobile operators and an equipment manufacturer), he now works as an enterprise architect in the bank-insurance sector. He believes in technology’s potential to create sustainable progress.

Katie Singer writes about technology and nature. “An Electronic Silent Spring” is her most recent book. In 2018, she spoke about the Internet’s footprint at the United Nations. She dreams that every smartphone user knows the supply chain of one substance (of 1000+) in every smartphone.

Nov 2020 – New Hampshire State Bombshell Report Documents Scientific Evidence That Questions the Safety of Wireless and 5G Radiation on Health and Environment

Posted on November 4, 2020 by ES-Ireland

SOURCE ARTICLE : EHTRUST.ORG

15 Recommendations Include Reducing Public Exposure to Wireless, Radiation Measurements, Reducing Radiation from Cell Phones and Protection of Trees and Bees 

On November 1, 2020, the New Hampshire Commission to Study the Environmental and Health Effects of Evolving 5G Technology has released its final report to  New Hampshire Governor Christopher T. Sununu, Speaker of the House  Stephen J. Shurtleff,  President of the Senate Donna Soucy summarizing its findings that safety assurances for 5G have “come into question because of the thousands of peer-reviewed studies documenting deleterious health effects associated with cellphone radiation exposure.”

The majority of the New Hampshire Commission voted to support 15 recommendations to the New Hampshire Governor. Recommendations include: support an independent study of 5G health effects; reduce public exposure to cell phones, wireless devices and Wi-Fi in schools and libraries; ensure cell network infrastructure antenna setbacks from schools and homes; measure levels of cell network radiation; establish wireless radiation limits to protect trees and insects; establish more sophisticated measurement protocols to include high data rates; require software changes to reduce radiation exposure into the body; establish wireless radiation-free zones; and call on the US Federal Communications Commission to do an environmental assessment on the impact of 5G and wireless infrastructure expansion.

The report referred to the FCC as a “captured agency with undue industry influence,” citing the Harvard Press Book “Captured Agency: How the Federal Communications Commission is Dominated by the Industries it Presumably Regulates,” which compares the wireless industry to the tobacco industry.

The 5G Report recommends US federal agencies coordinate “to protect people, wildlife, and the environment from harmful levels of radiation” and states “until there is Federal action, New Hampshire should take the initiative to protect its environment.”

The New Hampshire Commission includes several legislators who are also medical doctors and engineers, a scientist with expertise in electromagnetic radiation, a  New Hampshire Town Councilperson and representatives from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, Department of Health & Human Services and the Department of Business and Economic Affairs.  Also represented on the Commission were members of the industry, including a CTIA Wireless Industry representative who was one of the three members signing onto the minority report. In contrast to the majority report which documents why hundreds of scientists are raising the alarm about 5G because of substantial scientific evidence finding harmful health and environmental impacts, the minority report purports that “the scientific consensus” is that wireless is safe.

Testimony was presented to the Commission by numerous experts, including the US National Toxicology Program scientists Dr. Michael Wyde and Dr. John Bucher (PPT) who conducted the large-scale studies on cell phone radiation, Dr. David Carpenter (PPT), Herman Kelting PhD (minutes) Dr. Paul Heroux (minutes), wireless industry expert Eric Swanson PhD (PPT), Tim Schoechle PhD (minutes) and Environmental Health Trust experts Devra Davis PhD, MPH (PPT) and Theodora Scarato (PPT).

The FCC and FDA did not respond to the Commission’s request for testimony, and the FDA did not fully answer the Commission’s questions. The National Cancer Institute response to the Commission was that NCI does not make safety recommendations or issue guidelines and is not aware of any federal agency mandated to ensure wireless signals are safe for trees, plants, insects or birds.

The New Hampshire 5G Report contains an extensive list of research studies, medical organizations and scientists in support of calling for a halt to 5G. The Report is available online at http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/statstudcomm/committees/1474/reports/5G%20final%20report.pdf.

“The scientific research can no longer be ignored. We must reduce our wireless exposure. I commend the state of New Hampshire for taking the time to generate such an important and historic document,” stated Devra Davis PhD, MPH, President of Environmental Health Trust, who has published research documenting the scientific evidence indicating wireless is a human carcinogen and recently published a paper on cell phone radiation and colon cancer. Davis is one of the hundreds of scientists signing onto the Appeal to Halt 5G referenced by the New Hampshire Commission. “This report should be required reading for all elected officials and community planners.”

Davis pointed out that the Commission’s investigations confirmed the inadequacy of FCC limits to protect health just as the EHT et al., v. FCC legal appeal claims.  On October 31, 2019, US National Toxicology Program (NTP) scientists Dr. Michael Wyde and Dr. John Bucher presented on the NTP study that found clear evidence of brain cancer and DNA damage in animals exposed to cell phone radiation. During the Q and A Commissioner Ricciardi asked, “Your study was designed to test non heating damage. You found damage so doesn’t that mean that FCC assumption that only heating can cause damage is incorrect and no longer accurate? Would you agree?”

To this question Dr. Michael Wyde responded, “A lot of people believe unless you heat tissues, you won’t see health effects with RF. This study disproves that as we did not have overheating but we did see damage.”

“Children are more vulnerable to wireless radiation and research has found brain damage from wireless radiation. I am thankful to see the prudent public health recommendations recommending reducing wireless exposures in schools,” stated Theodora Scarato, Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust, who published research on how to reduce wireless in buildings. “The New Hampshire Commission recommends using wired, not wireless, networks in schools which is in line with recommendations by the Maryland State Commission on Children and Environmental Health, the Council of Europe Resolution 1815 and the policies of several countries to remove Wi-Fi from classrooms.

“The Commission’s recommendation 14 points out that FCC limits were not designed to protect trees or insects and that federal agencies should close this gap in accountability to ensure safety to wildlife and our tree canopy by developing exposure limits for safety,” Scarato continued, “Numerous studies documenting harm to the environment are listed in the New Hampshire Report as well as my letter from the EPA. When I asked the EPA about their review of impacts to birds, trees and wildlife they responded that ‘The EPA does not have a funded mandate for radiofrequency matters, and we are not aware of any EPA reviews that have been conducted on this topic. We do not know if any other US agencies have reviewed it.’”

International Action to Halt 5G

In the United States, Resolutions to halt 5G have been passed by Hawaii County, Farragut Tennessee and Easton Connecticut. Cities such as Los Altos, Petaluma, Mill Valley, and San Diego County California have adopted policies to restrict 5G small cells near homes. Oregon passed a Bill to study Wi-Fi health effects. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the California Department of Health recommend children reduce cell phone radiation exposure, as do medical organizations internationally, such as the Vienna Medical Association, Athens Medical Association and International Society of Doctors for Environment.

Over 600 cities in Italy have passed resolutions to halt 5G, as have cities throughout Europe, such as Trafford, United Kingdom, Lille, France, Ormidia, Cyprus, Balchik, Bulgaria. The Pancyprian Medical Association and Cyprus National Committee on the Environment and Child Health sent Parliament their position paper “The Risks to Public Health from the Use of the 5G Network.” Bermuda has halted 5G pending a report on safety. Switzerland’s report on 5G health effects resulted in the Parliament’s refusal to loosen their radiation limits despite heavy industry lobbying efforts. The Netherlands issued a 5G report that recommended measuring radiation levels and also recommended against using the 26 GHz frequency band for 5G “for as long as the potential health risks have not been investigated.”

History of the Commission

The Commission was established by New Hampshire Bill 522: An act establishing a commission to study the environmental and health effects of evolving 5G technology. The Act tasks the commission to answer several questions including, “Why have 1,000s of peer-reviewed studies, including the recently published U.S. Toxicology Program 16-year $30 million study, that are showing a wide range of statistically significant DNA damage, brain and heart tumors, infertility, and so many other ailments, being ignored by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC)?”

15 recommendations of the New Hampshire Commission

The majority endorsed 15 recommendations to increase transparency, reduce exposure and support science.

“The objective of those recommendations is to bring about greater awareness of cell phone, wireless and 5G radiation health effects and to provide guidance to officials on steps and policies that can reduce public exposure. We also recommend partnering with our federal delegation to facilitate the reevaluation of radiation exposure guidelines and policies by federal agencies (i.e., the FCC, FDA, NASA, NOAA, FAA, EPA, etc.) to protect people, wildlife, and the environment from harmful levels of radiation.”

The New Hampshire 5G Commission Report 15 recommendations are:

RECOMMENDATION 1

Propose a resolution of the House to the US Congress and Executive Branch to require the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to commission an independent review of the current radiofrequency (RF) standards of the electromagnetic radiation in the 300MHz to 300GHz microwave spectrum as well as a health study to assess and recommend mitigation for the health risks associated with the use of cellular communications and data transmittal.

RECOMMENDATION 2

Require that the most appropriate agency (agencies) of the State of New Hampshire include links on its (their) website(s) that contain information and warnings about RF-radiation from all sources, but specifically from 5G small cells deployed on public rights-of-way as well as showing the proper use of cell phones to minimize exposure to RF-radiation, with adequate funding granted by the Legislature. In addition, public service announcements on radio, television, print media, and internet should periodically appear, warning of the health risks associated with radiation exposure. Of significant importance are warnings concerning the newborn and young as well as pregnant women.

RECOMMENDATION 3

Require every pole or other structure in the public rights of- way that holds a 5G antenna be labeled indicating RF-radiation being emitted above. This label should be at eye level and legible from nine feet away.

RECOMMENDATION 4

Schools and public libraries should migrate from RF wireless connections for computers, laptops, pads, and other devices, to hardwired or optical connections within a five-year period starting when funding becomes available.

RECOMMENDATION 5

Signal strength measurements must be collected at all wireless facilities as part of the commissioning process and as mandated by state or municipal ordinances. Measurements are also to be collected when changes are made to the system that might affect its radiation, such as changes in the software controlling it. Signal strength is to be assessed under worst-case conditions in regions surrounding the tower that either are occupied or are accessible to the public, and the results of the data collection effort is to be made available to the public via a website. In the event that the measured power for a wireless facility exceeds radiation thresholds, the municipality is empowered to immediately have the facility taken offline. The measurements are to be carried out by an independent contractor and the cost of the measurements will be borne by the site installer.

RECOMMENDATION 6

Establish new protocols for performing signal strength measurements in areas around wireless facilities to better evaluate signal characteristics known to be deleterious to human health as has been documented through peer-reviewed research efforts. Those new protocols are to take into account the impulsive nature of high-data-rate radiation that a growing –body of evidence shows as having a significantly greater negative impact on human health than does continuous radiation. The protocols will also enable the summative effects of multiple radiation sources to be measured.

RECOMMENDATION 7

Require that any new wireless antennas located on a state or municipal right-of-way or on private property be set back from residences, businesses, and schools. This should be enforceable by the municipality during the permitting process unless the owners of residences, businesses, or school districts waive this restriction.

RECOMMENDATION 8

Upgrade the educational offerings by the NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC) for home inspectors to include RF intensity measurements.

RECOMMENDATION 9

The State of New Hampshire should begin an effort to measure RF intensities within frequency ranges throughout the state, with the aim of developing and refining a continually updated map of RF exposure levels across the state using data submitted by state-trained home inspectors.

RECOMMENDATION 10

Strongly recommend all new cell phones and all other wireless devices sold come equipped with updated software that can stop the phone from radiating when positioned against the body.

RECOMMENDATION 11

Promote and adopt a statewide position that would strongly encourage moving forward with the deployment of fiber optic cable connectivity, internal wired connections, and optical wireless to serve all commercial and public properties statewide.

RECOMMENDATION 12

Further basic science studies are needed in conjunction with the medical community outlining the characteristics of expressed clinical symptoms related to radio frequency radiation exposure.The majority of the Commission feels the medical community is in the ideal position to clarify the clinical presentation of symptoms precipitated by the exposure to radio frequency radiation consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which identifies such a disability. The medical community can also help delineate appropriate protections and protocols for affected individuals. All of these endeavors (basic science, clinical assessment, epidemiological studies) must be completely independent and outside of commercial influence.

RECOMMENDATION 13

Recommend the use of exposure warning signs to be posted in commercial and public buildings. In addition, encourage commercial and public buildings, especially healthcare facilities, to establish RF-radiation free zones where employees and visitors can seek refuge from the effects of wireless RF emissions.

RECOMMENDATION 14

The State of New Hampshire should engage agencies with appropriate scientific expertise, including ecological knowledge, to develop RF-radiation safety limits that will protect the trees, plants, birds, insects, and pollinators.

RECOMMENDATION 15

The State of New Hampshire should engage our Federal Delegation to legislate that under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) the FCC do an environmental impact statement as to the effect on New Hampshire and the country as a whole from the expansion of RF wireless technologies.
