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

found many

showing

after their

Precautions
taken by other
countries such

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
focused on WiFi radiation in schools, there are additional
concerns about mobile phones and cell phone towers. CEHPAC
plans to take a look at these broader issues over the next
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).

Why being

Other

showing signs of addiction.
‘We
are at the beginning of a fast-changing technological era
and the effect on individuals, emotionally and
behaviourally, could perhaps be quite profound.'

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.
