There is no health risk from radiation from mobile transmitters, according to a recently released review by the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
The review concludes that the strength of radio waves from the mobile network in Denmark is below the international limits recommended by ICNIRP. The review also concludes that there is no reason to believe
that there should be a link between sources of radio waves and the development of cancer.
The findings of the review are based on a number of analyses made in countries such as UK and Sweden, as their mobile networks are the same as to the one in Denmark.

Letter to the WHO (Dr. Leeka Kheifeits)

World Health Organization (WHO) 26.06.2003
Dr. Leeka Kheifeits
Head, Radiation Program
Radiation and Environmental Health
20 Avenue Appia
CH-1211 Geneva 27
Dear Dr. Kheifeits,
Not only believing in equal rights but also in the right of a healthy life for everyone, I was quite shocked learning that the WHO has stopped further epidemical studies regarding cancer and any other illnesses caused by electromagnetic radiation i.e. mobile phones and their respective transmitting stations (cell phones, mobile phone masts).
May I kindly ask you, what caused this sudden change in the independent work of your organization? History has proven that money makes the world go round, but it seems as though it is only meant when it comes to defend the interests of the healthy and wealthy people. Is the health of the rest of the world's human beings not worth any further investment in epidemical studies because economical objectives have much higher priorities?
Environmental consciousness has become a rarity. Therefore, the work of your organization is not only highly appreciated but a must! So please continue your studies on the dangerous electromagnetic radiation which causes already so many illnesses worldwide. If people in the neighborhood of transmitting stations wouldn't tell me about their health problems I wouldn't be worried as much as I am. No one likes to suffer from anything and especially not if it is caused by something mysterious like radiation which is forced on one by other instances. Electromagnetic radiation cannot be seen, smelt nor felt, but it makes you unvoluntarily ill - and people and especially children have already died from it (cancer).
Neither the Governments nor the mobile industry worldwide and especially here in Germany are going for any preventive measures nor for a reduction of wavelength (EMF-limit values). As you may know, scientists have found out that even the lowest degree of electromagnetic radiation wavelength could harm the organism of lifes.
I hope you will not only consider my worries but also do the utmost possible in continuing the independet studies in this regard with respect to the health of all human beings on this world, not to forget fauna and flora.
Thank you for taking your time.
Sincerely yours,
Marianne Kirst

FCC Opens Rule Making on RF Exposure
-------------------------------------
This is NOT a response to The EMR Network's Petition for Inquiry, but it does address some aspects of the FCC's RF human exposure rules.
FCC Press Release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWS MEDIA CONTACT
June 26, 2003
Bruce Romano at (202) 418-2470
PROCEDURES REGARDING HUMAN EXPOSURE
TO RADIOFREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY
The Commission today proposed amending certain sections of Parts 1 and 2 of the FCC's rules pertaining to compliance with guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy.
It specifically requests comment on various topics and issues related to evaluating compliance with those guidelines, but did not propose to amend the exposure guidelines themselves.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires agencies of the Federal Government to evaluate the effects of their actions on the quality of the human environment. To meet its NEPA responsibilities, the Commission has previously adopted and implemented requirements for evaluating environmental impact, including the impact of human exposure to RF energy emitted by FCC-regulated transmitters.
The Commission's current rules and procedures were adopted and implemented in 1996 and 1997. Since that time, it has become apparent that some aspects of these rules and procedures may need to be revised or modified, based on our experience and on the evolution of services and equipment, and to clarify the responsibilities of Commission licensees and grantees, to better ensure compliance with the Commission's exposure limits in the most practical, reasonable and efficient manner.
Specifically, the Notice of Proposed Rule Making proposed, among other changes, to revise and modify Commission policies and rules for routine evaluation of compliance with exposure guidelines and for categorical exclusion from evaluation of certain transmitters, facilities, and operations. It also proposed rules for routine evaluation of compliance for certain unlicensed devices authorized under Section 15.247 of the FCCs rules (frequency hopping and digital spread spectrum devices). In addition, it proposed the codification of procedures for evaluating compliance for modular transmitters used in RF devices authorized by the Commission, such as laptop computers and for evaluating radiofrequency exposure from multiple transmitters operating in a given RF device. It also proposed rule amendments to clarify what is meant by occupational exposure and to more clearly define the responsibilities of FCC licensees and grantees in complying with guidelines for such exposures in workplace environments.
The Commission invites comment on all of these proposals and issues related to them.
Action by the Commission, June 12, 2003, by Notice of Proposed Rule Making (FCC 03-132). Chairman Powell, Commissioners Abernathy, Martin, Copps and Adelstein, with Chairman Powell issuing a statement.

Take action to defend the Yellowstone BioGem!
---------------------------------------------
Next Monday, the World Heritage Committee will meet in Paris to consider a Bush administration request that international protection for Yellowstone National Park be downgraded.
I urge you to contact the World Heritage Committee immediately and call on it to reject this irresponsible proposal. You can send an electronic message right now by going to http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction.asp
The World Heritage Committee is charged with conserving hundreds of humankind's most extraordinary natural and cultural treasures. Nineteen of those wild places -- including Yellowstone -- have been elevated to the committee's In Danger list, which helps trigger action when a World Heritage site is threatened with destruction or serious degradation.
Yellowstone needs world protection now more than ever, and the Bush administration is the main reason why. At the bidding of oil giants, cattle barons and other special interests, the administration is unleashing a series of devastating attacks on Greater Yellowstone and its greatest living symbols.
Administration officials are inviting energy and logging companies to despoil pristine wildlife habitats that surround and buffer the park. They are preparing to strip wolves and grizzly bears of endangered species protection, a disastrous decision that would leave those animals just outside the park vulnerable to hunting and extermination.
Last winter the administration rounded up more than 200 of Yellowstone's wild bison -- better known as American buffalo -- and sent them off to a slaughterhouse. Next year, they may kill hundreds more.
And bowing to pressure from the International Snowmobile Manufacturers
Association, the administration overruled a National Park Service plan that would have banned thousands of snowmobiles that roar through the park every winter, spewing air pollution and harassing its wildlife.
With the Bush administration putting corporate interests ahead of our greatest national park, this is the worst possible time for the World Heritage Committee to consider reducing its protection. Yellowstone needs more worldwide attention and action, not less.
Next week, NRDC will be on hand in Paris to make our case against the Bush administration's proposal. Our case for Yellowstone will be even stronger if the World Heritage Committee hears from thousands of people like you beforehand.
Please make your voice heard right now by going to
http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction.asp
and sending your message on behalf of Yellowstone to the World Heritage Committee.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
John H. Adams

Following a recent non-violent, peaceful protest, against the destruction of African forests, the Spanish Government detained our flagship. They've offered to let us buy the ship's freedom with a Euro 300,000 in bond, along with a promise to undertake no more marine actions for the environment in Spanish waters. Never!
Help the Rainbow Warrior get back to the business of protecting forests, and tell the authorities they can't silence our voices. Please act now:

Broad-spectrum herbicides highly toxic to humans and other species
------------------------------------------------------------------
Glufosinate ammonium and glyphosate are used with the herbicide-tolerant
transgenic crops that currently account for 75% of all transgenic crops
worldwide. Both are systemic metabolic poisons expected to have a wide
range of harmful effects, and these have been confirmed.
Glufosinate ammonium is linked to neurological, respiratory,
gastrointestinal and haematological toxicities, and birth defects in
humans and mammals. It is toxic to butterflies and a number of
beneficial insects, also to the larvae of clams and oysters, Daphnia and some freshwater fish, especially the rainbow trout. It inhibits beneficial soil bacteria and fungi, especially those that fix nitrogen.
Glyphosate is the most frequent cause of complaints and poisoning in the
UK. Disturbances of many body functions have been reported after
exposures at normal use levels.
Glyphosate exposure nearly doubled the risk of late spontaneous abortion, and children born to users of glyphosate had elevated neurobehavioral defects. Glyphosate caused retarded development of the foetal skeleton in laboratory rats. Glyphosate inhibits the synthesis of steroids, and is genotoxic in mammals, fish and frogs. Field dose exposure of earthworms caused at least 50 percent mortality and significant intestinal damage among surviving worms. Roundup caused cell division dysfunction that may be linked to human cancers.
The known effects of both glufosinate and glyphosate are sufficiently
serious for all further uses of the herbicides to be halted.
A great deal of glyphosate is sprayed in Delaware for "control" of Phragmites (reed grass). The official position is that this stuff is harmless, but I want to present the other side.

Radioactive materials in Iraq
------------------------------
We sent a team in to the former nuclear facility in Tuwaitha, Iraq, several weeks ago to monitor reports that radioactive materials are present in the local community. We expected things to be bad, but what we found exceeded some of our worst fears.
We found radioactive sources near schools. We found sources up to 10,000
times background radiation being used as housing material -- sources which in two hours would expose a resident to a year's maximum dose for a radiation worker in the UK, and which have been present for six weeks in homes with children.
We believe the IAEA should be admitted back into Iraq by the occupying forces immediately and without conditions or restriction, to assess the levels of radioactive contamination, secure the sources, and make recommendations to the United Nations for responses from the World Health Organisation and other appropriate international authorities.
This is a catastrophe which would be met with an immediate evacuation and
decontamination if it happened in the US or the UK. The response should be no less urgent becuase it is happening in Iraq. You can read more about what we found at
