Switzerland: Mobile Telephony and Radiation: an inconsistent and biased federal report that ignores environmental impact
We will be publishing on both "Towards Better Health" and "Mieux Prévenir" reactions, press releases, articles etc. concerning the Swiss federal report of the working group "Mobile telephony and radiation" released on 28 November 2019.
The French-speaking Swiss association Stop5G questions the credibility of the results published yesterday by the ad hoc working group mandated by DETEC [Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications]. The composition of the working group questions and casts doubt on the scientific legitimacy of the health component of the report. In addition, Stop5G is surprised at the lack of consensus on the development of the network and notes the strong divergence of the proposals, some of which, favorable to the industry, foresee a 500% increase in the current radiation. The Association of Doctors for the Environment, a member of the working group, has also expressed strong criticism of this possible increase and considers that the health impact of non-ionizing radiation (NIR) has not been sufficiently studied. Finally, the deadlock in the report on environmental impacts and liability aspects is also a major concern.

France Issues Decree and Order on Exposure to Waves Emitted by Radioelectric Equipment
France has just issued a decree and an order in the Official Gazette of 17 November 2019 with regard to exposure to waves emitted by radioelectric equipment.
"Tablets, connected watches, radio-controlled toys... From 1 July 2020, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) will be displayed on all radioelectric equipment likely to be used in the vicinity of the human body (up to 20 centimeters). To date, this display requirement only applies to mobile phone devices."
A decree and an order were published to this effect in the Official Gazette of 17 November 2019.
The permissible SAR limit values are:
- 2 W/kg (watts per kilogram) for head and trunk ;
- 4 W/kg for members.
Reminder: In an opinion dated 21 October 2019, the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) states that some expert reports highlight biological effects on brain activity when exposed to a SAR level above 2 W/kg.

[Press release] Brain cancers : 4 times more new cases of glioblastoma in 2018 according to Public Health France
Equipe Phonegate 18 Nov 2019
In July 2019 (updated in September 2019), the French Public Health Agency “Santé Publique France“, together with the Francim cancer registries, the Hospices Civils de Lyon and the Institut National du Cancer, published national estimates of cancer incidence and mortality in metropolitan France between 1990 and 2018. These are based on the modeling of observed incidence data (new cases) until 2015 by cancer registries, supplemented by projections until 2018.
Volume 1 of the report is devoted to solid tumors (27 tumors and 22 subtypes). Between 1990 and 2018, the overall incidence rate of solid tumors remained relatively stable in men and continued to increase in women. At the same time, the annual number of new cases of glioblastoma with histological confirmation (one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer) has increased fourfold and more for both sexes.
In 20 years, the number of glioblastomas multiplied by 4, affecting all ages

VIDEO: Hypersensitivity to waves: "a reality" for former Minister of Agriculture Stéphane Le Foll.
Following the press conference of the association "Animaux sous tension", Stéphane Le Foll, former Minister of Agriculture and Mayor of Le Mans, spoke about hypersensitivity to waves.
actu.fr, 5 November 2019 - translation
It is in Le Mans (Sarthe) that the National Association of Live Animals (ANAST) held a press conference on Monday, November 4, 2019. In particular, reference was made to the legal action taken to defend the rights and interests of livestock farmers seriously affected by electromagnetic radiation.
The administrative court was seized on 31 October to obtain the communication of numerous documents held by the Ministry of Agriculture.

INVESTIGATION: Electromagnetic fields and waves: the new environmental scandal?
Farmers accuse electromagnetic radiation from high-voltage lines, wind turbines and relay antennas of killing their animals. What is it really about?
by Anne-Sophie Blot, actu.fr, 4 November 2019 - translation
Hundreds of cows dying, no longer giving milk, developing signs of dementia and no longer resistant to disease. Calves born with deformities. Rabbits dying by the thousands. Pigs refusing to get up, becoming aggressive, even cannibalistic. And sometimes, human health also begins to deteriorate.
For more than twenty years, livestock farmers throughout France have been facing massive losses and abnormal behavior in their herds. They are now convinced that their problems are linked to the radiation of electromagnetic fields and waves.
The culprits, according to them: (very) high-voltage power lines, power transformers, relay antennas, wind turbines and photovoltaic panels located on or near their operations.
Grouped together in an association, a dozen of these farmers announced on Monday, November 4, 2019 that they would take legal action with the help of their lawyer, François Lafforgue.

MRIs show screen time linked to lower brain development in preschoolers
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN, updated 4 November 2019
(CNN) Screen time use by infants, toddlers and preschoolers has exploded over the last decade, concerning experts about the impact of television, tablets and smartphones on these critical years of rapid brain development.
Now a new study scanned the brains of children 3 to 5 years old and found those who used screens more than the recommended one hour a day without parental involvement had lower levels of development in the brain's white matter -- an area key to the development of language, literacy and cognitive skills.
"This is the first study to document associations between higher screen use and lower measures of brain structure and skills in preschool-aged kids," said lead author Dr. John Hutton, a pediatrician and clinical researcher at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. The study was published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.

Among specialists, two visions clash
by Lucie Monnat, ABO+, Tribune de Genève, 2 November 2019 . translation
Can we say that electrosensitivity is a real disease, or is it an affliction that comes from the mind?
Electrosensitivity is not a diagnosis, but a subjective notion. Some people assume that the cause of their ailments is related to wireless or electrical devices, or that their condition is getting worse under the influence of electrosmog. In representative surveys conducted in Germany and abroad, 5% of respondents reported that they were electrosensitive. But none of the studies conducted so far have been able to demonstrate a correlation between patient complaints and electrosmog.
WHO therefore does not recognize a causal link. For us, the results are not convincing from a medical point of view. The researchers tested people's ability to perceive or not exposure to waves under conditions specially created for their study. These can never reflect actual conditions. As part of a pilot project (editor's note: in collaboration with the Federal Office of Public Health), we carried out a physical, psychological and environmental examination of electrosensitive patients.

"More lawsuits expected against smartphone manufacturers"
More lawsuits expected against smartphone manufacturers: Apple and Samsung are accused of negligence, breach of warranty, and consumer fraud, as well as profiting off of placing consumers at risk.
Class Action Launched Against Cell Phone Companies over Radiation Risk
consumersafetyguide.com, 4 October 2019
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against cell phone manufacturers Samsung and Apple after it was determined that radiation emitted by smartphones exceed government-established safety standards.
The test was commissioned by the Chicago Tribune and determined that radiation exposure was higher than the legal safety limit. It was also determined that radiation from Apple’s iPhone 7 is double what the company told federal regulators. Samsung phones emitted lower levels of radiation but did exceed safety standards by a great deal when held at a distance of 2mm from the body.
The lawsuit alleges that despite manufacturer claims, testing has shown the products to be dangerous.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS: The Federal Court considers that the Federal Office for the Environment should check the emission limit values of mobile telephone antennas.
The Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) is invited to check that the emission limit values for mobile phone antennas are respected. The Federal Court thus draws the conclusions of an audit conducted in 2016 in Canton Schwyz.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS: The Federal Court considers that the Federal Office for the Environment should check the emission limit values of mobile telephone antennas.
The private company commissioned by Schwyz found that of the 14 antennas inspected, 8 did not comply with the heights and emission directions specified in the building permits. However, these parameters have an essential influence on the radiation emitted by mobile phone installations, as indicated in the judgment adopted on Thursday by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
