2 Observation Non-thermal effects of microwave emissions Exposure level DNA effects Single & double breaks, DNA electron flows, gene transcription 0.6W/kg, 0.001W/kg Blood-brain barrier Toxins reach brain tissues: serotonin, glucose 2min, W/kg Psychoactive Drugs Eye damage Behavioural changes Cognitive functions Sleep Melatonin Fundamental life processes Dose dependency Microwave syndrome Neurotransmitter functions modified: Pentobarbital - changes narcosis, entylenetetrazol - more convulsions, Curare - less anaesthesia, Valium/Librium - potentiated. More alcoholism, less morphine withdrawal Worsen effects Judgment errors, vision altered, hyperactivity, memory problems, more body nitric oxide production (SMART, LAN, Pads data) Faster reaction time, auditory memory retrieval, concentration difficulty, fuzzy thinking, dizziness (serotonin activity increase) More sleepiness, less REM sleep (worse memory, learning) Melatonin secretion decreases ELF in wireless imitate heartbeat, cell talk, brainwaves; less metabolism, sperm count, irreversible infertility in mice in 5 generations, 1/2X chick embryo mortality Korean War, US embassy in Moscow: cumulative effects Fatigue, irritability, nausea, anorexia, depression, cardiovascular disorders, hypo/hypertension, skin change & allergies, eczema, psoriasis, more lymphocytes, EEG effects, less insulin production, multiple allergies, Tinnitus, itches & heat in ear Watt/cm W/kg 0.02 to 8.0 Watt/cm 2 2

3 Meg Sears, Medical Perspective on Environmental Sensitivities, Canadian Human Rights Commission, 2007 Power in microwatt/cm 2 Observed result - from: Feet / 3 meters from a Wireless Computer Irreversible sterility in mice 0.2 to 8.0 Childhood leukemia near transmitters 0.3 Impaired motor function, memory & attention of school children 0 4 Altered white blood cell activity in schoolchildren 1.0 Headache, dizziness, irritability, fatigue, weakness, insomnia, chest pain, difficulty breathing, indigestion 2.5 Breakdown of blood-brain barrier (cell phone) 5.0 Leukemia, skin melanoma & bladder cancer near transmitter 2.0 Microwave hearing - clicking, buzzing, chirping, hissing, tones 5.0 Changes in liver, heart, kidney, and brain tissue 10.0 Damaged mitochondria, nucleus of cells in brain 10.0 Impaired memory & visual reaction near transmitters 3

4 Microwave tech emission levels (nice weather) Watt/cm 2 Cell user 9 3,500 Cell phones background, general population Microwave user 10 2,000 Cordless 2 to 6m 7-17 Analogue mast (including lightradio) urban setting) 5 25 Digital mast, urban setting ( 100m) Analog mast, rural 500m SMART Meter Local amplification: metallic elements roofing, studs, frames ceiling, doors, window; grounding, metal plumbing, unfiltered telecom wiring, some HV Lines ( 800 to 1,000 Watt/cm 2 ) X more power 4

5 Background propagation of Wireless technology: Montréal & Toronto 2012: 0.1 to 25, with 100 W/cm 2 zones. Salt Lake City: at street level; average radiation intensity from relay antenna at ground;); Ottawa: tower sites, Salzburg: shadow effects, France: typical background levels ,6 W/cm 2 ) 5

6 Trends: More bytes & spectrum crowding pressure for operators to seek revenues from their standard operations (at high revenue per bit ) No stakeholder awareness of health & safety of users More hypersensitivity, more cases of prostate, lung, facial cancer, more Alzheimer mortality, more heart problems, autism. No monitoring of exposure, emission levels No law enforcement Major (inter) national security risk Debris in sky leading to failures; accelerated corrosion of infrastructure 6

7 Trends spectrum crowding 7

8 Quantum-leap-accelerated Wireless tech Corrosion - rebar & surface cement corrosion cell towers on water tower in Northern France, autumn

9 Quantum-leap-accelerated Wireless technology Corrosion 9

10 Trends: Quality & safety concerns 10

11 Trends (2): Software development in-expertises Forcing aging population to adapt to the technology. Deregulation with new masts (for LAN) Massive electric power consumption by wireless tech 11

Precautionary principle Nuremberg Code 1947 (Medical) Exposing people without informing them how radio-frequencies [microwaves] can affect their health & without their consent contravenes Nuremberg

12 Precautionary principle Nuremberg Code 1947 (Medical) Exposing people without informing them how radio-frequencies [microwaves] can affect their health & without their consent contravenes Nuremberg Code, adopted to forbid the experience committed by the NAZIs. UNESCO 1999 Important guide when faced with scientific uncertainity especially in potentially irreversible situations or catastrophies. 12

13 Regulations actual and emerging Those who are most vulnerable to EMF are: pregnant, child, aged, sick and hyper-sensitive populations. The World Health Organisation (WHO) (2001) the European Parliament (2009) and the European Council (Resolution 1815) in 2011: (1 milligauss / 1 microwatt/cm 2 ) further to BioInitative suggestions, with possible, emerging standard: 0.10 microwatt/cm 2 There is no structure for deciding action or discipline in Canada for electromagnetic fields. EMF (electric power + wireless) in Canada are among the most elevated in the world (London-Ottawa-Quebec) 13

How to address these consequences?

How to address these consequences? Wireless gadgets currently marketed founded on 1940-50s technology: devices in aeronautics, citizen band, microwave ovens, public safety communications, radar, radiosondes, radio astronomy, television,
