In a new extensive report released this week did not find NIPH any evidence to say that radiation from the new radio network ( TETRA ) is harmful.

- Public Safety Network does not provide anything more or different radiation than cell phones and similar things. So there is nothing to indicate that this is dangerous. We have no reason to say it, said Jan Alexander, Deputy Director of Public Health to NRK that the report was presented Thursday. 


- How certain are you of this?

- We are quite confident when it comes TETRA network. As certain as we can be, says Alexander.

- Got sick of the radio network

It's not all necessarily endorse the Institute's conclusion. Roger Carlström had surgery for a brain tumor 29December. He is the daily operational uteleder Trelleborg police in Skåne, and has used RAKEL, as the Swedes call their TETRA system since it was introduced in 2007.

Carlström is no doubt that his illness caused by RAKEL over a longer period.

- I began to notice that something was wrong almost immediately after I started using it. I was kjemperød and warm in the face and cheeks. The more radio traffic there was, I became redder. I turned it off, I did not notice anything, says Carlström NRK.

The sick leave policeman says that he had big problems with sleep and be awake for days on end.

- Not even for night shifts, I sleep. I got discharged sleep medication, but it did not help. The only thing that helped was that I was away from Rachel. Then disappeared sleep problems and head problems, says Carlström.

- Not quite unjustified

NRK has been in contact with researchers at Lund University, who has researched eletromagnetisk radiation from mobile phones and GSM networks. Leif G. Salford, professor of neurosurgery, the use of cell phone calls "the world's largest biological experiment."

- In 2000, only one-fourth human cell phone. Today in five of the seven billion. In 2000, there were control materials. Today, when everyone is reached - either by mobile phone radiation from base stations - there is really no control to control up to longer, says Salford.

Along with Bertil Persson, professor of medical radiation physics, he studied how rat brains affected by electromagnetic radiation.

The research showed that among radiation caused leaks in the rats' brains. Scientists believe the rats' brains are so similar that human performance can be transmitted.
Persson sees no reason to dismiss that Carlströms disease may be caused by use of the emergency network.

- It is not entirely unfounded, since Rachel is based on digital modulation technique that has in the areas it has been found that has the most significant biological effects.

- Absolutely terrible

In England, police in Lancashire have gone to court after allegedly receiving health problems after using the emergency network.

Before Christmas last year topped problems for the police officer on sick leave in Sweden. Carlström had felt worse and worse for several days, until he suddenly became acutely ill.

- I thought I had had a stroke. When I spoke, it was sloppy, and the entire left side of his face drooped.

Carlström went to the hospital, it was X-rayed. There it was found that the police officer had a large tumor on the right side of the brain.

- The doctor said that the tumor had grown to over several years. I am convinced that the tumor has come as a result of using RAKEL.

- What do you think about this
- It is absolutely terrible. Especially after I've put myself into prehistory that Rachel was introduced. Ever since the beginning there has been considerable uncertainty about the long-term neurological and biological effects on the body.

Carlström says he has been approached by colleagues throughout Sweden, that indicate trouble for the use of the network. His colleagues say they have problems with sleep and concentration, and headaches.

He felt better after surgery, but is basically sick to November.

- No one has been as sick as me, but I think it is only a matter of time, says Carlström.

The Norwegian People's Health Department has submitted a report which clears mobile phones and other devices with wireless radio antennas for suspected health hazards. 
An expert group with members from the Norwegian Post and Telecommunications Regulatory, National ray protection, Karolinska Institute and several other authorities and universities prepared the report dealing with the weak electromagnetic fields from mobile phones and other transmitting equipment.
There is no scientific basis for saying that radiation from electromagnetic equipment provides health damage. There is no evidence that radiation can increase the risk of cancer, reduce fertility in men, damage to the nervous system or cause other problems.
The national cancer registries have not registered an increase in the number of cancer cases after the introduction of mobile phones, and there is no scientific data to support the claim that the phone can cause brain tumors.
The Norwegian experts concluded that the levels of electromagnetic fields of mobile phones and other devices must be the same as those recommended by the International Commission for protection against non-ionizing radiation (ICNIRP).
The limits for weak fields is 50 times below the level that can cause heating of tissues or which may get nerve cells to fire signals.  When it comes to electrical hypersensitivity, there is no evidence that there may be genes related to cell phones.
"We have no reason to say that genes are imaginary. But a large number of studies suggest that symptoms may have other causes than physical effects of weak electromagnetic fields of mobile phones, wireless transmitters and other wireless devices," said Jan Alexander, who heads the group of experts.
He adds that patients with such problems must be taken seriously, and calls for more skills in the health system to handle these types of cases.  The fact that the skin around the ear gets hot when you talk long, because phone battery and not the electromagnetic field, explain the researchers.
It is concluded that there is very little likelihood that long-term use of mobile phones provides health risks, which are currently unknown. But still sounds recommendation, you should exercise general caution and limit its exposure, for example by using a handsfree kit.
 
 

Mobiles and WLAN provides no health risk


Norwegian experts have conducted extensive studies.
The Institute presented today a report in which it is clear that there is no scientific basis for saying that the weak electromagnetic fields around cell phones and other transmitting devices and health. The report is made on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Care Services and the Ministry of Transport. The expert group is chaired by by Jan Alexander, Deputy Director of Public Health.
The other members of the group come from Karolinska Institutet, University of Oslo and Akershus, Work Research, Trondheim University Hospital of North Norway, Chalmers University of Technology, NRPA, Post and Telecommunications, National Institute, University of Bergen University of South Trøndelag .
The committee has studied the health effects of weak electromagnetic fields that are mobile phones, wireless phones and networks, base stations for mobile phones, radio stations and other communication equipment. The committee has looked at how strong fields, whether they pose a health risk, the rules and the limits are observed.
The group found no basis for the weak fields around cell phones and other transmitting equipment increases the risk of cancer, impaired fertility in men, other damage to reproduction, other damage to the nervous system, or other diseases and health problems.
LimitsIn a detailed press release from Public Health states that the health authorities have determined that the limits for electromagnetic field around transmitters in mobile phones and other equipment shall be the same as those recommended by the International Commission for Protection against Non-Ionizing Radiation (ICNIRP). The limits are based on field above a certain strength can cause harmful heating of tissue. ICNIRP has no other proven harmful effects below this level.
The limit for weak fields is 50 times below the level that can cause heating of human tissue, or may get nerve cells to fire signals. Due to many reports of concern that the government wanted an expert examined whether such weak fields can still provide health benefits.
The group found no basis for the weak fields around cell phones and other transmitting equipment increases the risk of cancer, impaired fertility in men, other damage to reproduction, other damage to the nervous system, or other diseases and health problems.
Electrical hypersensitivityFor people who say they are electrosensitive, believes that the group has no basis for saying that the problems are imaginary.
- But a large number of studies suggest that symptoms must have reasons other than physical effects of weak electromagnetic fields around cell phones, wireless transmitters and other wireless devices. We have no research to support that action helps, such as reducing the use of mobile or wireless networks. We believe that patients with these health problems must be taken seriously by health care and meet and evaluated by other patients. There is a need for greater expertise in health services for this population, said Jan Alexander in the press release.
The experts believe that there is nothing in the assessment as the basis for applying the precautionary principle.There are encouraged to not incur more of these fields than necessary to achieve the intended benefits.
Most exposed to will be when you talk in your own cell phone. Signal strength increased if there is poor coverage, but can be reduced by using handsfree. At the very bottom of the list comes wireless computer networks of a WLAN / Wi-Fi. However, base stations and broadcast transmitters are located far down.
According to the release, the group of experts reviewed the research summaries that international expert groups have published previously, as well as recent case studies. The material is described as very extensive. A number of studies have been conducted on cells and tissue in the laboratory, in animals and humans. In addition, we have made several population studies and studies emanating from cancer registries in several countries.

Norwegian Institute of Health, report by Feychting et al



Report from the Expert Committee appointed by  the Norwegian Institute of Health, commissioned  by the Ministry of Health and Care Services and  the Ministry of Transport and Communications:

"The Expert Committee considers the increased risk reported in some case-control studies to be  inconsistent with the results from studies of time trends based on cancer registry data in either  the Nordic or other countries.  Overall, the available data show no association between exposure to RF fields from a mobile  phone and fast-growing tumours, including gliomas in the brain which have a short induction  period (time from exposure to disease)."

ICNIRP guidelines are used in more than 80 countries.  ICNIRP collaborates with WHO. WHO decides on its advice on an independent basis.

"The Committee does not recommend the building of “electronic-free” treatment rooms in hospitals,  but that affected patients should be given appropriate medical assistance with support and  practical measures." 

"There is no reason to recommend reduced exposure to RF fields as a tool to reduce general  concerns about the hazardous effects of electromagnetic fields."

Overall, there is little indication that exposure to weak RF fields adversely affects fertility.

The  few studies that do exist do not provide evidence that exposure to weak RF fields during  pregnancy has adverse effects on the foetus.

"the studies of high quality present no evidence that weak RF fields have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system."

"Older studies, as well as recent high quality studies, provide no clear evidence of negative effects of exposure to weak RF fields on the immune system."

"Previous and recent studies do not provide evidence that exposure to weak RF fields adversely affects the hormone system in humans."

"At present, there is little to suggest that  exposure to weak RF fields causes changes in gene expression that can be linked to adverse effects in humans."

The Expert Committee was established in spring 2010 and was composed of individuals with expertise in environmental and occupational medicine, biology, physics, metrology, biophysics, biochemistry,epidemiology and philosophy, as well as expertise in administration and risk management:

From Hugo Schooneveld:

Dear colleagues in the struggle against electrical hypersensitivity (EHS)

Public awareness about dangers of certain types of EMF is less than desirable in the Netherlands. It is a good thing that at least one governmental organization is trying to get an understanding of the EMF-EHS problems: the Knowlegde Platform EMF and Health’. Several semi-governmental institutions are a member of this platform.
Scientific research on health effects of EMFs has been initiated and non-profit organizations such as the Dutch EHS Foundation are invited to represent the citizens in formal meetings where EMF dangers are assessed.
The Knowledge platform has recently published a comprehensive report on ‘Electrosensitivity’. It may be retrieved free of charge from: http://www.kennisplatform.nl/Files/2012-08-31KnowledgeNoteonElectrosensitivity.pdf

A more concise summary of the report addresses physicians and other health workers and advice them to take the health complaints by electrosensitive people seriously and to advice on field reduction if the patient claims that EMFs make him ill. This report ‘An electrosensitive is looking for help’ may also be retrieved from:http://www.kennisplatform.nl/Files/2012-08-31Summarynote-KnowledgeNoteonElectrosensitivity.pdf .
The Dutch EHS Foundation (‘Stichting EHS’) is happy to play a role in this discussions by collecting EHS data from the population, by working out strategies to minimize harm, by publishing on the subject amomg others. We make some progress in familiarizing the public with the EHS problems, but too many still remain to be convinced.
