California
              Department of Public Health Releases its Cellphone Safety
              Document
    
      
    
          
            Electromagnetic Radiation Safety, March 2, 2017 (6:00 PM
            Update)
            
            Prior to the judge's final ruling in Moskowitz v. CDPH, the
            California Department of Public Health released its
            cellphone safety document to the 
San
                Francisco Chronicle this afternoon.
 
          
            This
              "fact sheet" summarizes research on cell phone radiation
              health risks and provides safety tips on how to reduce
              cell phone radiation exposure. The document highlights a
              potentially greater risk to "pregnant women, children, and
              teens." The safety recommendations are similar to those
              issued by the Connecticut
                Department of Public Health in May, 2015.
            
              The CDPH document is marked "released
              pursuant to Moskowitz v. CDPH, Sac. Super. Ct. No.
              34-2016-8000-2358" and "Draft and Not for Public Release."
            
            The document and details about the case are available at

    Sharp Rise in Colorectal
            Cancers Among Young Adults
     
    
      
      Between
          the mid 1980s and 2013, colon cancer incidence rates for
          people in their 20s and 30s rose by one to 2.4 percent per
          year. And for people in their 20s, the rate of rectal cancer
          increased 3.2 percent every year between 1974 and 2013.

        Many members of the

          contributed documentation relevant to these deliberations; we
          appreciate their input and dedication. While this report

          concerns about mobile phones and cell phone towers. CEHPAC

          year.

    Frontiers in Integrative
            Physiology
     
    
        This new integrative health perspective
            connects neurotoxic and immunotoxic stressors to pain,
            inflammation, and sensitisation in the chronic neurological
            illnesses Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
            (ME/CFS) and Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS).
             
            It hints at a significant role for a range of factors in the
            development of such disorders, notably including: exposure
            to persistent environmental pollutants (e.g. heavy metals
            and pesticides), toxic mould fungi, and non-ionising
            electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiation (EMR).
             
            The author, Julian Glassford, is a UK-based expert patient
            who has himself battled with ME/CFS over a number of years.
            Personal experience and insights along the way helped to
            motivate and inform this work, and he hopes that it will
            help shine a light on environmental health hazards and the
            true nature of certain ‘invisible’ illnesses.
             
            Besides ME/CFS and FMS, by extension his work further
            pertains to other, somewhat interrelated, idiopathic
            environmental intolerances (IEI) and sensitisation
            disorders. These include Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)
            and Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS).

    PNM's 'smart' meter
            proposal meets resistance
          
    
        Twenty residents from around New Mexico also unanimously
        objected to the proposal at the PRC hearing. Many raised
        concerns about the health implications of installing wireless
        technology in homes, which they say adds significant
        electromagnetic radiation to the environment and can cause
        ailments such as headaches, insomnia, rashes and cancer.

        UK - Smart Meter frequency change
      
      The Register reports EDMI, the UK
          maker of residential smart meter comms hubs, is planning to
          change the RF module to enable operation on 868 MHz as well as
          2.4 GHz 
          
          The redesign was triggered in 2014, according to a source
          familiar with the matter, after Data and Communications
          Company (DCC), the Capita subsidiary managing the UK-wide
          smart meter project on behalf of government, found a dedicated
          Zigbee wireless home area network (HAN) using 2.4GHz alone
          would not allow smart meters to work properly in every UK
          home.
