Why this is important
Only recently IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) announced that mobile phone radiation 'could' cause cancer.

The mobile phone industry together with bodies such as the WHO, ICNRP, has been influencing scientific results to support its use of radiation but this has to stop!
In scientific jargon: ONLY thermal effects of non-ionising radiation are acceptable science, non-thermal effects, where found, are ignored!

"The ICNIRP Game:
ICNIRP is playing its own game and setting its own rules. It is the game that is played by national authorities which, as a team, they feel very comfortable with it. The name of the team is "The Consensus of Science". However, it involves quite a small and very select team that includes national experts who come from national authorities who subscribe to the rules of the ICNIRP game.
In the ICNIRP game the first rule is that there is only a tissue heating effect from RF/MW exposure. You must agree with this rule to play the ICNIRP game. As a consequence of this rule, in the ICNIRP game, all other biological effects are not real and any epidemiological study that shows an effect with non-thermal exposure, must be faulty and will be rejected. In other words, if you break this rule you are out of the game. In this game it is fine to change the rules about acceptable significant, what is evidence, and criteria for how a biological effect is established. In this game a study does not provide evidence until it has been exactly replicated."

Increasingly the dangers of mobile phone radiation are being known: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/10059834/Are-we-ignoring-the-dangers-of-mobile-phones.html
The mobile phone industry together with bodies such as the WHO, ICNRP, has been influencing scientific results to support its use of radiation but this has to stop!
Science is 'peer reviewed' before it can be accepted by the world community but the mobile phone industry has used its power to influence research that points to its toxicity of which there are 1000s of scientific papers!
Many scientists object but are simply ignored, the precautionary assessment is simply not correct.
"In recommending that the Precautionary Principle be applied in EMF matters, the European Environment Agency’s Director Jacqueline McGlade wrote in 2009: “We have noted from previous health hazard histories such as that of lead in petrol, and methyl mercury, that ‘early warning’ scientists frequently suffer from discrimination, from loss of research funds, and from unduly personal attacks on their scientific integrity. It would be surprising if this is not already a feature of the present EMF controversy… » Such unfortunate consequences have indeed occurred."

For those in the business,a telecoms employee involved in 4G testing:
"I agree that the health implications of 4G have not been properly investigated. The health implications for 4G are staggering. When I was doing the trials I had serious headaches and I'm quite hardy.... You are going to have more masts, more concentrated areas, more power in cities, hospitals. The industry internally is not really bothered"

In scientific jargon: ONLY thermal effects of non-ionising radiation are acceptable science, non-thermal effects, where found, are ignored!
"Protection against Non Ionizing Radiation is based on a paradigmatic assumption: "We know very well the interaction between electromagnetic fields and living organisms: it is a thermal interaction; thus the standards internationally accepted are adequate to protect people and workers".
This is a fairy tale. Since the 1970s the non thermal effects of electromagnetic fields on living organisms have been well known and also the non thermal mechanisms have been investigated. Nevertheless, until today, we have been condemned to listen to representatives from international institutions repeating the old refrain above." ... The point is, protection against non ionizing radiation, based on parameters adopted by international standards organizations, seems not to be adequate, despite the statement of Dr Van Deventer, nor able to protect people and workers.

As citizens from across the world, we urge you to respond urgently to the lack of knowledge about risk to us regarding non-ionising Radiation. We specifically call on you to appoint an official whose responsibility investigate and make clear to the public why evidence regarding non-thermal effects of radiation have been ignored. The safety guidelines (including ICNIRP) need to be updated and the health of the public made a priority over industry interests. Do not ignore the rest of the scientific community, doctors, concerned parents etc!
