What’s Up? Worldwide Current Events for the EMF Cognoscenti (Summer 2020)

This summer has seen 5G concerns increasing with regard to the ongoing rapid expansion of wireless technology worldwide, with European citizen action again leading the change-agents. Here are a few of the highlights …

Ukraine Citizens Demand a Ban on 5G

Citing numerous 5G concerns a  petition demanding a ban on 5G in the Ukraine has garnered the required 25,000 signatures for consideration by the President. As of 2:30 p.m. on July 6, the petition received 25,456 votes and was presented.

“Without a clinically proven evidence base for the safety of this type of communication, please do not enter it in our country!” — stated in the text of the petition. Read more at TECH The petition to ban 5G in Ukraine received the necessary votes

Russian Ministry of Health Recommends Banning Wi-Fi, Cell Phones in Schools Due to Radiation Health Risks

The Medical Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, prepared the recommendations together with the Russian Ministry of Health.

The information was provided to Children’s Health Defense by Professor Oleg Grigoriev , Dr.Sc, PhD, the Chairman for the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Professor Grigoriev has been outspoken about the harms of wireless technology and has been leading the recent initiatives by the Russian government to protect children from harm. Read more …

Opposition to 5G Growing in Europe

International opposition to 5G has gained significant traction due to the published research showing harm from wireless frequencies.  In addition a report commissioned by members of the European Parliament found conflicts with  ICNIRP – an only 13 member private group that governments rely on for recommendations regarding wireless radiation.  The  new report released by European Members of Parliament Michèle Rivasi (Europe Écologie) and Dr. Klaus Buchner (Ökologisch-Demokratische Partei) accuses the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an organization many governments consider an authority on the safety of 5G and cell phone radiation, of being under the influence of the telecommunications industry and ignoring the science showing their harmful effects. (Read more about corruption and industry influence here)

The 7 page introduction to the Special Issue on Environmental Sensitivities: Living on the Margins with Access Denied by Pamela Reed Gibson (a great EHS resource or handout for those initially becoming aware of EHS), is currently free at this time from this website: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/pdf/10.1089/eco.2017.0017

Reliable Disease Biomarkers Characterizing and Identifying Electrohypersensitivity and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity as Two Etiopathogenic Aspects of a Unique Pathological Disorder

Abstract: Much of the controversy over the causes of electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) lies in the absence of both recognized clinical criteria and objective biomarkers for widely accepted diagnosis. Since 2009, we have prospectively investigated, clinically and biologically, 1216 consecutive EHS and/or MCS-self reporting cases, in an attempt to answer both questions. We report here our preliminary data, based on 727 evaluate-able of 839 enrolled cases: 521 (71.6%) were diagnosed with EHS, 52 (7.2%) with MCS, and 154 (21.2%) with both EHS and MCS. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26613326/

* Important EMF Experts News Editor’s Note: Many respected EMF Experts have called into question the validity of the claims made in the above-mentioned paper. One of the main reasons for this is that the statements that are put forward as physics engineering facts with regard to the electrical characteristics of a coil of wire and its similarity to a double helix strand of DNA, which is the basis of this theory, are simply hypothetical conjecture and not based on actual physics, engineering or scientific fact.

The Number of Worldwide Doctors and Experts calling for President Trump and other Leaders to halt 5G, continues to grow.

“We call for a moratorium on 5G and any further wireless antenna densification (denser numbers of antenna in any given area) until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from the wireless industry.” –December 11, 2019, US Doctors and Experts National 5G Resolution

“We join with the thousands of doctors, scientists and health care providers worldwide who have recently issued appeals for urgent action on 5G to protect public health. The rapidly growing list includes the International EMF Scientist Appeal,  Appeal to the European Union, Belgium Doctors Appeal, Canadian Doctors, Cyprus Medical Association, Physicians of Turin, Italy, the German Doctors Appeal, International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and Space and the International Society of Doctors for the Environment. 

The Scientists and Citizen Groups Worldwide Calling to Halt 5G

Hundreds of scientists are calling to halt 5G.  In addition environmental groups are opposed to 5G due to the impact to trees, bees and birds.

• In Italy, over 500 municipalities have passed resolutions to halt 5G.
• In Ireland Six County Councils have voted to halt 5G: Clare, Roscommon, Leitrim, Wicklow, County Laois  and Sligo County Councils
• Switzerland refused to weaken their radiofrequency radiation limits to deploy 5G.
• In Turkey over 47.000 people signed a petition regarding a lawsuit 5G and health. 
• In Greece, the Kalamata City Council decided not to continue the 5G pilot program after a three hour debate.  News coverage: “The city council decided to suspend 5G in Kalamata”
• The Sierra Club of California has passed a resolution opposing 5G and the Washington DC Sierra Club testified in opposition to the 5G small cell rollout because of impacts to trees.
• In the United States the state of New Hampshire has a 5G Bill HB 522 that asks, “Why have 1,000s of peer-reviewed studies, including the recently published U.S. Toxicology Program 16-year $30 million study, that are showing a wide range of statistically significant DNA damage, brain and heart tumors, infertility, and so many other ailments, being ignored by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC)?” and, “Why have more than 220 of the worlds leading scientists signed an appeal to the WHO and the United Nations to protect public health from wireless radiation and nothing has been done?”
• The Washington DC Advisory 3/4G Committee  passed a resolution  “Opposing Small Cell Wireless and 5G Technology Without Studies Confirming Safety”. Washington DC 2E Advisory Council  passed a resolution asking to minimize 5G small cells and require  radiofrequency radiation measurements stating that  “ANC 2E’s entire community will be subjected to involuntary radio frequency exposure and this exposure may have negative effects for people with radio frequency emission disabilities or sensitivities. ”
• International Society of Doctors for Environment  issued a Declaration to Halt 5G  in 2018. The environmental organization BUND is also calling for to stop  5G in Hamburg. 
• Easton Connecticut and Farragut Tennessee have passed resolutions to halt 5G.  Crown Castle withdrew applications after Western Springs Illinois sent this letter.
