Cell Towers and Health

http://www.Cellphonelies.com The Ossining School Board voted to allow placement of a PCS Base Station atop the Ossining High School on the basis of a "Safety Analysis" which claimed to report the health effects of the radiation emitted from such antennas.(1) Instead, it suppressed current areas of controversy and uncertainty and claimed falsely that this technology is, in effect, universally considered safe.
Critical questions concerning the health effects and safety of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF) remain! Should we expose our children and ourselves to this radiation for the next twenty years when so much uncertainty exists?
Our School Board was told that concerns about health effects from exposure to magnetic fields from electric power distribution lines or the use of hand held cell phones are based on fear, not fact. The Board was not told that a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences panel this year designated power frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) as "possible human carcinogens."(2)
There is a robust and ongoing controversy over many aspects of RF health effects. While no one disagrees that serious health hazards occur when living cells in the body are heated, as happens with high intensity RF exposure (just like in a microwave oven), scientists are currently still investigating the health hazards of low intensity exposure. Low intensity exposure is exposure which does not raise the temperature of the living cells in the body.
The telecommunications industry claims cellular antennas are safe because the radiation they produce is too weak to cause heating, a "thermal effect." They point to "safety standards" from groups such as ANSI/IEEE or ICNIRP to support their claims. But these groups have explicitly stated that their claims of "safe levels of exposure" are based on thermal levels.(3) Thus the claim that the RF exposure is harmless rests on the fact that it is too weak to produce a rise in temperature, a "thermal effect."
There is a large body of internationally accepted scientific evidence which points to the existence of nonthermal effects of microwave radiation. The issue at the present time is not whether such evidence exists, but rather what weight to give it.
Internationally acknowledged experts in the field of RF research have shown that RF of the type used in digital cellular antennas and phones can have critical effects on cell cultures, animals, and people in laboratories and have also found epidemiological evidence (studies of communities, not in the laboratory) of serious health effects at "non-thermal levels," where the intensity of the radiation was too low to cause heating. They have found:
Increased cell growth of brain cancer cells(4)
A doubling of the rate of lymphoma in mice(5)
Changes in tumor growth in rats(6)
An increased number of tumors in rats(7)
Increased breaks in double and single stranded DNA, our genetic material(8)
2 to 4 times as many cancers in Polish soldiers exposed to RF(9) More childhood leukemia in children exposed to RF(10) Changes in sleep patterns and REM type sleep(11)
Headaches caused by RF exposure(12)
Neurologic changes(13) including
Changes in the blood-brain-barrier(14)
Changes in cellular morphology (including cell death)(15) Changes in neural electrophysiology (EEG)(16) Changes in neurotransmitters (which affect motivation and pain perception)(17)
Metabolic changes (of calcium ions, for instance)(18) Cytogenetic effects (which can affect cancer, Alzheimer's, neurodegenerative diseases)(19)
Decreased memory, attention, and slower reaction time in school children(20)
Retarded learning in rats indicating a deficit in spatial "working memory"(21)
Increased blood pressure in healthy men(22)
Damage to eye cells when combined with commonly used glaucoma medications(23)
Many national and international organizations have recognized the need to define the true risk of low intensity, non-thermal RF exposure, calling for intensive scientific investigation to answer the open questions. These include: The World Health Organization, noting reports of "cancer, reduced fertility, memory loss, and adverse changes in the behavior and development of children."(24) The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)(25)
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)(26) The Swedish Work Environmental Fund(27) The National Cancer Institute (NCI)(28)
The European Commission (EC)(29)
New Zealand's Ministry of Health(30)
National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia(31) Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization of Australia (CSIRO)(32)
Non-thermal effects are recognized by experts on RF and health to be potential health hazards. Safe levels of RF exposure for these low intensity, non-thermal effects have not yet been established.

they fry the brains of kids what more do you want....

[primal111]

thats right selling the health of our kids and us for$.....shameful

cell phone 's Radio Frequency Power is 0.6 watts , HAM RADIO is 1500 watts, HAM radio 's frequency ranges from 1.8 MHz to well beyond 300 GHz, it is strong enough to aim signal to the Moon and bounced off, and hear it on other side of earth, ( EME comm. )

FEMA?

[towermonkey121]

I have worked ON towers for 11 yrs. my Dad worked on towers for almost 25. I just had my 3rd child. A 9 lb. 6 oz baby girl. Healthy as can be. My dad is 58 and has no health problems at all. So if I spend 8 hours a day ON the tower with no illness and three healthy children, is that a fluke or do you need a new crusade because "save the whales" got old. Do everyone a favor and find something more constructive to cry about.

Cell phone radiation absorbs oxygen... wow that has to be the stupidest comment on youtube. You sir are the idiot.

[indiana4jones]

There not breaking chemical bonds in cells, there are being absorbed by oxygen. We breathe that oxygen. Ever wonder why they air smells like crap all the time now?? We were meant to breathe that Captain Jack, it wasn't meant for burtha to use to blab with through an electrical device all day long.

[indiana4jones]

There not breaking chemical bonds in cells. There attenuating oxygen. We breathe oxygen. Ever wonder why they air smells like crap all the time now?? "Cell Phone" tower radiation is absorbing oxygen. We were meant to breathe that Captain Jack, it wasn't meant for burtha to use to blab with through an electrical device all day long.

[indiana4jones]

This is not true. You are simply an idiot or a liar. Microwaves are being absorbed by oxygen in the atmosphere. The giant waveguides are there to allow a sick amount of radiation to be blasted through your living space. Why else would there be 4 inch coaxial. There is nothing that you could say to me to justify that size of coax being attached to those "antenna". I'm not an idiot dude. There are 200,000+ in the US they sure do need a whole lot of them. Its too bad the avg american is clueless.

[indiana4jones]

we need real solutions. Real action like disabling the death towers, not hocus pocus.

[boczarionut]

soo we need to go back 1 millions years to get rid of the EMR from the towers huh
