"Influence of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields exposure on sleep patterns in preterm neonates"

Research supported by The French National Research Program for Environmental and Occupational Health found impacts from chronic wireless radiation frequency RF-EMF on the sleep of hospitalized preterm newborns.

Continuous measurements of RF-EMF levels were performed in 29 hospitalized preterm newborns throughout the first 21 days after birth.

The main chronic effect found was an increase in indeterminate sleep with RF-EMF exposure. At the highest exposure levels, an increase in RF-EMF levels increased sleep fragmentation. No significant relationship was found between acute (short term) RF-EMF levels and sleep parameters.

The authors concluded, ” Despite no consolidated disruption in sleep structure, this study is the first to show that some sleep parameters seem to have a certain sensitivity to chronic – but not acute – RF-EMF exposure in preterm newborns. Further studies are needed to confirm our results and examine possible mid- to long-term, sleep-related cardiorespiratory and neurodevelopmental outcomes.”

Aerotoxic Syndrome: Unprotected Flight Crews And Passengers

Unprotected Flight Crews And Passengers
Aerotoxic Syndrome: The Silence Continues

The problem of cabin air contamination in airliners, which can make flight crews seriously ill, has been known for decades. But the airlines are still playing down the health and safety risks.

Last March, in front of Jetblue's head office in New York, dozens of flight attendants chanted: "Fume events are real!” It was an unprecedented demonstration, designed to sound the alarm about the incidents of fumes, known as "fume events", that occur on board aircraft.

They generate unpleasant odors, contaminate the air and, as MEDIAPART has detailed, cause a range of neurological and respiratory symptoms and disabling disorders in aircrew, known as aerotoxic syndrome.

"The American Aviation Federation and aircraft manufacturers are ignoring this health risk, even after reports of crews falling ill", says Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat senator from Connecticut, who also introduced a bill for the third time in March calling for training and protection for passengers.

New York Times’ Caroline Hopkins and scientists interviewed for the story “Do I Need to Worry About Smartphone Radiation?” should be embarrassed

New York Times’ Caroline Hopkins and scientists interviewed for the story “Do I Need to Worry About Smartphone Radiation?” should be embarrassed

by Dariusz Leszezynski, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, November 15, 2023

Presenting a complex scientific problem in a news media story is a difficult task. On the one hand, the presented science should be accurate but, on the other hand, it should be understood by an average reader, a layperson.

I have given numerous interviews for national and international news outlets and I experienced first-hand the problem of presenting a complex science in a format simplified enough for the laypersons but at the same time scientifically accurate.

On top of the complexity of science, there is always a problem of brevity. Journalists wish that the science story will be not only simple and easy for layperson readers but also short enough that the news media editors will accept it.

Study: "Electromagnetic Field Exposure and Abortion in Pregnant Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"

30 October 2023 study: "Electromagnetic Field Exposure and Abortion in Pregnant Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis", published online in the Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences, doi: 10.21315/mjms2023.30.5.6

Link to study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10624444/

Conclusion: " It is hoped that the results of this study will increase awareness of healthcare providers, such as gynaecologists and midwives, about the adverse effects of electromagnetic waves on pregnancy and the risk of miscarriage. In this way, pregnant women will be encouraged to protect themselves from exposure to electromagnetic waves. Pre-pregnancy and early pregnancy counseling on the proper way to limit exposure to electromagnetic waves from electrical appliances and devices, mobile phones and the internet may reduce the risk of spontaneous abortions."

Case Study on 5G: "A 49-Year-Old Man Developed Severe Microwave Syndrome after Activation of 5G Base Station 20 Meters from his Apartment"

Mona Nilsson, Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, and Dr. Lennart Hardell, the Environment and Cancer Research Foundation,  have published a new case study on 5G: "A 49-Year-Old Man Developed Severe Microwave Syndrome after Activation of 5G Base Station 20 Meters from his Apartment" in the Journal of Community Medicine & Public Health

Link to study: 

https://www.stralskyddsstiftelsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/microwave-syndrome_man49years_Nilsson_Hardell_nov2023.pdf

Conclusion: "This case study showed that a man living in an apartment at a distance of 20 meters from a 5G base station quickly developed severe symptoms of the microwave syndrome. The study confirmed previous case studies that 5G entails very high RF radiation exposure that causes illness in people living in the vicinity, and that the exposure levels that caused this illness are very much below the ICNIRP limits. There are no studies showing that 5G is safe for human health."

Stamford, Connecticut, Rejects 5G, Citing Evidence of Health Risks

Connecticut City Rejects 5G Citing Evidence of Health Risks

After being presented with evidence of wireless radiation’s negative health impacts, the Board of Representatives in Stamford, Connecticut, voted to reject an agreement that would have allowed telecommunications carriers to install 5G equipment on city-owned utility poles.

By Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D., childrenshealthdefense.org, 20 November 2023

The Board of Representatives in Stamford, Connecticut, earlier this month voted to reject a model agreement that would have allowed AT&T and Verizon to install 5G equipment on city-owned utility poles.

In a bid to get 5G swiftly installed in his state, Gov. Ned Lamont’s office created a template contract between the nation’s top two telecommunication carriers and the state’s five major cities.

Stamford, the state’s second-largest city, is the only city so far to have voted against using the contract. Twenty-one representatives voted against the pact. Five were in favor and eight abstained.

Why There Should Be No More Discussion about “Appropriate” Screen Time for Infants, Toddlers, and Children

Why There Should Be No More Discussion about “Appropriate” Screen Time for Infants, Toddlers, and Children
By Patricia Burke of Safe Tech International Image courtesy Floris Freshman. Nov. 7, 2023

As a consumer culture, we do not debate the “appropriate level of exposure” for smoking, alcohol, gambling, pornography, guns, driving, or drug paraphernalia for infants, toddlers, and young children. A product or practice is either safe, or not safe, in childhood.

Previously, although often belatedly, society has met the responsibility to protect children from risks of harm, especially from addictive substances.

For example, the 2020 story of the five-year old from Utah who drove his family’s car onto the interstate was reported with a reminder to keep car keys away from children.

Now, perhaps nowhere in modern society is lack of discernment more damaging than in the blind acceptance of cell phones, tablets, screens, and wireless device use by children. We need to fix this, not only for children, but to reclaim reason in ourselves.

The Phonegate Alert SAR Calculator (bêta test version)

The Phonegate Alert SAR Calculator (bêta test version)
Phonegate Alert, November 2023

The Alerte Phonegate teams have set up this calculator (bêta test version) to allow you to know, in an indicative manner, the real specific absorption rate (SAR) of your mobile phone.

This calculation was made using a large amount of data that we have obliged mobile telephony regulatory agencies to make public, as well as the most up-to-date scientific knowledge bases on the subject.

It comes from five years of work by our NGO.

A color code comes with the results:
• if a value is displayed in GREEN, it means that it complies with the standards of the concerned country.
• if a value is displayed in RED, it means that the manufacturer’s SAR does not correspond to the reality of your exposure when your smartphone is close to your body or head. You will find below a summary table recalling the SAR limits not to be exceeded.

To launch the calculator, all you have to do is to enter the SAR measurements indicated by the manufacturer of your mobile phone (which you can find on the instructions or on the online documentation corresponding to your device), as well as your geographical area.
