Canada: GGD Ontario publiceert rapport over gezondheidseffecten WiFi. Een groeiend deel van de Canadese bevolking wil de uitbreiding van draadloze technologie, met name WiFi op scholen, stoppen totdat de technologie fatsoenlijk getest is op gezondheidseffecten. Als reactie op de bezorgdheid der ouders heeft het Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion (te vergelijken met de Nederlandse GGD) een metastudie gepubliceerd waarin voor het eerst door een overheidsinstelling openlijk gesproken wordt over de bijwerkingen die microgolfstraling bij mensen kan veroorzaken. Het Engelstalig commentaar van Dr. Magda Havas, die zich al jaren inzet voor een betere voorlichting over de gezondheidsgevaren van draadloze communicatie, kunt u lezen op: www.magdahavas.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/WiFi-OAHPP-2010.pdf . Het originele rapport van de Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion (met annotaties van Dr. Havas) kunt u downloaden vanaf: www.magdahavas.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/WiFi-OAHPP-2010.pdf . In een begeleidende tekst op EMFacts schrijft Dr. Havas: National media outlets in Canada recently reported that concerned parents believe the WiFi wireless internet technology, currently being deployed in schools, might be damaging their children’s health. A growing population wants the rapid proliferation of this technology to be halted until it is properly tested, especially on children. To address these concerns the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion (OAHPP) reviewed the literature related to the health effects of WiFi and released their report last week (September 16, 2010). This is an important document! To my knowledge, this is the first time a provincial agency in Ontario has publicly commented and presented data about the health effects of microwave radiation without deferring to Health Canada. In this aspect, the OAHPP report can be viewed as a major victory for citizens of Ontario. Unlike drugs, which can't be brought to market without extensive laboratory testing and clinical trials, electronic consumer products are mainly tested for safety against fire and shocks. The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) also tests WiFi to ensure that the device's microwave radiation operates within Industry Canada's guidelines. And just as drugs can have unwanted, unpleasant, and, in some cases, deadly side-effects, the sideeffects of this technology need to be acknowledged. Even though WiFi technology has been in use for more than a decade, health research on WiFi is virtually non-existent. Consequently, for this report, the OAHPP relied on cell phone studies and, to a lesser extent, on cell tower studies to extrapolate the possible effects of WiFi radiation. To read the OAHPP document with my comments as well as several key references including one on cell tower base stations, another on the effects of long-term, low-level pulsed 2.4 GHz microwave radiation (very similar to WiFi); and one on the basis for the thermal guideline, visit .. . www.magdahavas.com.

Leest u het recente Engelstalige artikel ''Shedding light on 'miracle' bulbs. Compact fluorescents may be a health menace'' (Spaarlampen kunnen een bedreiging zijn voor de gezondheid) van Albert Nerenberg in de Montreal Gazette van 24 sept. 2010: www.montrealgazette.com/business/Shedding+light+miracle+bulbs/3571340/story.html#ixzz10RyIx8sY .
