EMR Action Day
21 April – Get involved
EMR ACTION DAY BROCHURE (ATTACHED)
______________________________
Unplug Sunday with IBE!
Go Wireless-free on Earth Day 2012
Shut down the "second hand smoke" of the new millennium, give yourselves (and the birds the bees the frogs the trees) a 24-hour health break this Sunday, 22 April.
Just because your government cites safe exposure limits of up to a quintillion times - that's 18 zeroes - the background radiofrequency radiation levels at 1.8 GHz as being safe (as in harmless) for humans and all living things, doesn't mean YOU have to.
Turn off your wireless routers, your cordless phones, your baby monitors, your cellphones (get reacquainted with your corded landline) for just 24 hours.
And keep your laptop off your lap!
Here's an easy experiment: unplug it all before you go to bed on Saturday night, and see how you feel when you wake up Sunday morning. You just might find out what eight uninterrupted hours of restful sleep does for you.
Read about the SmartMeter Invasion, download Peter Sierck's groundbreaking whitepaper from the IBE website (find the link in the right hand column)
Forward this to your friends and colleagues, click the "share this" envelope at the top of this e-mail, make this the biggest Earth Day observance ever!

Who would be foolish enough run a microwave oven with the dooropen! And yet, WiFi operating at the same frequency as amicrowave oven, using a pulsed modulated radiofrequency (RF) signal,that studies have demonstrated to be biologically active, is becomingubiquitous. In many cities, WiFi has been installedcitywide.
Few Americans realize that pulsed RF microwave radiation has not beensafety tested and that the safety guidelines formulated by industryorganizations and adopted by the FCC do not protect the population(including women, children, pregnant women, smaller men, the elderly andthe infirm) from biological effects or damage. The FCC RF safetyguidelines are solely designed to protect a 6-ft 200-lb male from thermalharm during a 6-minute (occupational) or 30-minute (general public)exposure. This standard of “protection” is irrelevant to the waywireless technology is being used today. See: http://www.nap.edu/openbook.
In its June 1999 letter to the IEEE’s Risk Assessment Work Group, theU.S. Radiofrequency Interagency WorK Group (federal RF experts from theEPA, FDA, FCC, OSHA, NIH and NTIA) stated that, “A clear rationale needsto be developed to support the exposure guidelines for chronic as well asacute exposure.” (http://www.emrpolicy.org/
Also in 1999, the FDA nominated RF radiation emissions from wirelesscommunications devices to the National Toxicology Program forToxicological Studies for research (http://www.emrpolicy.org/
It is not scientifically possible to guarantee those non-thermal levelsof microwave radiation, which do not cause deleterious effects forrelatively short exposure, will not cause long-term adverse healtheffects.
In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of WHOclassified RF radiation (http://www.thelancet.com/
Biological effects from exposure to low-intensity RF radiationdemonstrated in peer-reviewed published research include: increasedrisk of cancer, DNA breakage, compromised blood-brain barrier, impairedfertility, and metabolic changes (http://www.disconnectbook.
Biological mechanisms at the cellular level that have been demonstratedin peer-reviewed published studies of exposure to radiation from wirelessdevices include changes in enzyme activity, changes in Ca2+homeostasis that alters nerve activity and intercellular communications,increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier, and immune systemimpairment.
Exposure to RF radiation, of the types that operate wireless devices,causes DNA breakage, including the double strand DNA breakage that maylead to cancer. The breakage is not caused solely by ionization,rather it can occur through oxidation. Both ionizing andnon-ionizing radiation, at low intensities, cause the samefree-radical-forming chemical reaction. The resulting free radicalsoxidize and break DNA.

The symptoms people report experiencing upon exposure to wireless devicesare consistent with the symptoms of radiofrequency sickness. Toread an authoritative paper on radiofrequency sickness, see the review ofthe Soviet literature by Christopher Dodge of the Biosciences Division,Naval Observatory.

Turn off your wireless devices for Earth Day and ontact your Senators andCongressmen today.
Urge your Members of Congress to sponsor legislation to:Repeal Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act to restorelocal authority for siting base station antennas on the environmentaleffects of radiofrequency radiation.
Mandate that the EPA establish human radiofrequency (RF) radiationexposure standards based on existing scientific and epidemiologicalevidence to protect the population during continuous exposures to RFradiation from transmitters and electrical pollution.
Halt all federal funding for utility smart/AMR/transmitting meterinstallations pending certification under new biologically-based RFradiation exposure standards.
Halt all release of new transmitting devices pending approval undernew biologically-based RF radiation exposure standards.
Halt installation of new transmitters/cellphone antennas pendingapproval under new biologically-based RF radiation exposure standards.
Legislation was introduced in the 107th Congress by Senators Leahyand Jeffords (S. 3102 andS. 3103) and Congressmen Sanders and Tancredo (H.R. 5631 andH.R.5632) to reform the 1996 Telecommunications Act. Ask yourlegislators to author or co-author similar
legislation.
