Waking the dangers of radiation
By Lyn McLean Would you be willing to take a drug that has not been tested before its launch in the market? Will you take the medicine if the manufacturers will say it is safe? What if others have taken it developed problems ranging from headaches to life threatening diseases? Finally, you accept that you take your children?
As ridiculous as this may seem, the truth is that most people receive potentially harmful exposures like this every day - not necessarily of a drug - but a completely different risk. This risk is electromagnetic pollution - emissions invisible of all things electrical and electronic. Is emitted by power lines with or without CPL, for appliances and electrical equipment, computers, wireless networks, mobile DECT cordless phones,
phone base stations, TV and radio stations and so on.
departments engineers from different companies compete to develop a range
increasingly diversifying
radiation technologies to appeal to a generation of addicts, and thereby ensure a return
lucrative long-term investments, there is a
implicit assumption that these technologies are safe.
comply with international standards, we are told.
This gives the illusion of security. Unfortunately
compliance with international standards is not a guarantee security that being rich is a guarantee of happiness.
The current rules only protect against one effect that is one of the short-term effects of artificial irradiation by microwaves, warming and only for a short period (6 minutes). Neglect, of course, protection against long-term adverse effects of radiation, is this kind of radiation that you and I are at risk if we use a mobile or wireless phone every day or live near a high voltage line or near Satellite link (E. BTM), in short, everyone will be fully exposed.
considered regulation only protects us against some of the effects radiation: a bureaucratic absurdity. It's like a car with airbags but no brakes. Are devoid of common sense rules to protect public health from current and microwave radiation of the AF (HF).
In particular, long-term exposure to artificial electromagnetic radiation are proven deleterious effects such as leukemia, Alzheimer's disease, brain tumors, infertility, headaches, depression, sleep disturbances, decreased libido, irritability, stress and genetic effects that result in damage cancers.
The short term is a short focus in order to protect public health. On the other hand guarantees the protection of the industry's annual profits to the extent they are in constant renewal.
This aspect is necessary, of course, does not guarantee the safety of users of this technology, particularly that of children who are most vulnerable, but also to make the right decisions and technological developments in parallel to run the length of exposure to radiation.
History is replete with examples of innovations that seemed a good idea at the time but that ultimately caused incalculable damage to the manufacturers, and public funds health of users, the snuff,
asbestos and lead are examples.
The health risks of artificial electromagnetic pollution is a public health catastrophe that is unfolding before our eyes. By not applying the appropriate standards, while ignoring the danger signs proven by science to ensure that these technologies are not addictive are safe before they are put into the market, public health officials have abrogated their responsibilities and have chosen to play Russian roulette with our health in the betting.
is a crazy game that the world seems willing to assume.
