The Bio- initiative report
I.T, innovation in education, and WiFi in schools – is there a risk to health?
In 2007, a number of the world leading researchers jointly authored the 615 page
BioInitiative report
•
The scientists came from fields encompassing all 3 sciences
•
Including 3 past presidents of the renowned Bioelectromagnetics Society (BEMS)
•
Using a “weight-of-evidence” approach, they assessed in total over 2000 papers
of relevant material
•
They covered a wide range of health points and their association with RF
exposure
Their findings were as follows:
“Given the scientific evidence at hand, the rapid deployment of new wireless
technologies that chronically expose people to pulsed RF at levels reported to
cause bioeffects … including DNA breaks, increased free radical production, and
changes in brain function including memory loss, retarded learning, performance
impairment in children … The recommended cautionary target level [for WiFi and
other similar sources] is 0.1 microwatts per centimeter squared (or 0.614 Volts
per meter) for pulsed RF where these exposures affect the general public; this
advisory is proportionate to the evidence and in accord with prudent public
health policy.”
BioInitiative Report, 2007
It is most important to state at this point, the Bioinitiative report suggests at maximum safe level of exposure of 0.614 volts per meter, this equates to a power flux density of 100 nW/cm2, From the N.R.L.s' own test results we can see that the exposure in classrooms was up to 450nw/cm2 and the highest reading 2mtrs from one of the access points was 796nW/cm2. From this we can deduct that 1mtr from the AP a reading of 1500nw/cm2, that's 15 times the safe level outlined in the Bioinitiative report.
At 500mm from the AP the readings would be 3000nW/cm2, and at 250mm the readings would be 6000 nW/cm2.
At 250mm this is 60 times the exposure level recommended by the bio-initiative report and cannot be time averaged.
In one location the children can climb up on palings and touch this access point.
So you can appreciate our concern of the Wi-Fi network installed at this school.
Things to google: Magda Havas, Simon Mann, Dr Neil Cherry, EHS (Electro Hyper Sensitivity)
If anybody has any questions we would be glad to answer them to the best of out ability.
We believe that the scientists/biologists/doctors have not fully discovered the A-thermal effects of Wi Fi spread spectrum devices
on young children especially when they are in close proximity to transmission aerials.
They continue to do their research - it is very much an on-going process. However, we ask the question how long was
smoking, asbestos etc considered o.k. before the doctors/scientists started to state otherwise.
