Following are approximately of doc Leszczynski's comments regarding commutation sessions from this conference.
National Toxicology Program (NTP) energy cell radiation-cancer study
"There are numerous misconceptions too misrepresentations of the NTP study too its outcome. However, 1 matter is certain, this is the best brute study that tin sack live done with the existing technical too fiscal limitations. Even with the $25 1 G m funding, scientists cannot produce all what they would similar too ask to do, inwards social club to thoroughly address all issues too respond all questions."" ... the outcome of the NTP study should live considered inwards the context of all the prove from the to-date performed epidemiological, brute too inwards vitro studies. The combination of all the elements suggests that jail energy cell telephone radiations perchance (or probably) affects human wellness because
- three case-control epidemiological studies (Interphone, Hardell's group, CERENAT) pick out shown increased run a jeopardy of developing glioma inwards avid, long-term users of jail energy cell telephone (30 min/day for 10+ years)
- several brute studies pick out shown increased wellness run a jeopardy inwards exposed or co-exposed animals (e.g. Chou et al., Tillman et al, Lerchl's group, NTP-study).
Lack of the noesis of the machinery does non hateful that a sure lawsuit doesn’t happen. In the context of the recent study past times Schmid & Kuster showing that the jail energy cell civilization experiments were under-exposing cells to radiation, it is likely that the bulk of the inwards vitro studies pick out shown a weak number or lack of effects because of this under-exposure. Higher doses, equally suggested past times Schmid & Kuster, would sure enough Pb to to a greater extent than robust effects inwards vitro. Replication of approximately of the inwards vitro experiments with higher exposures mightiness convey out approximately prove of mechanism(s).Epidemiological cohort studies, similar the Danish Cohort or Million Women study, are of pitiable lineament too cannot live used equally a reliable proof of no effect.We even hence produce non pick out the definite proof that jail energy cell telephone radiations causes cancer or increases run a jeopardy of developing encephalon cancer. However, combination of the prove from the case-control too brute studies indicates that the wellness run a jeopardy is possible or fifty-fifty probable. The NTP study strengthens the prove for the 'probable wellness risk'.The determination of the 'probable wellness risk' strengthens the telephone outcry upward for the implementation of the Precautionary Principle inwards the exercise of jail energy cell phones. It seems that the human wellness run a jeopardy mightiness non solely live possible rather probable; inwards the IARC classification, jail energy cell telephone radiations could live upgraded from grouping 2B to grouping 2A."
New avenues inwards epidemiology: COSMOS, GERoNiMO, too HERMES
"Finally, in that location was actually non much anything novel presented equally 'new avenues inwards epidemiology'."
"COSMOS study, for example, tediously collects information on numbers of performed calls too ship messages, but it has no information at all on existent radiations exposures. Also, wi-fi is completely excluded. So, how valuable too reliable volition live the exposure information collected past times COSMOS? I dare to state that it volition live of real piffling existent value. Epidemiological studies published with such information volition rest unreliable and, most likely, volition non present whatsoever dose dependency of exposure too wellness outcome. The argue is "simple" too should live obvious to anyone dealing with dosimetry.
Collecting information on the number of calls too on their length does non render information on radiations exposure. As inwards studies done past times the Interphone, Hardell's group, CERENAT, Danish Cohort, Million Women project, too past times Chapman et al., the COSMOS too GERoNiMO also collect a surrogate of the radiations exposure. None of the epidemiological studies executed to-date collected existent radiations exposure data. All of them pick out collected either bad or real bad surrogates of radiations exposure."
"Exposures of persons using the GSM network are dramatically higher than exposures of persons using the UMTS network. However, which network is used too when? The user does non know this. In modern phones, the switching betwixt networks happens automatically, to proceed telephone outcry upward of goodness quality, without the users’ knowledge. So, the users, past times reporting only minutes of calls inwards epidemiological studies, render useless “surrogate” information on radiations exposure."
Tutorial on security standards past times IEEE-ICES (International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety) inwards USA
".. all security standards beingness developed past times IEEE-ICES-TC95 are, inwards practice, developed past times the manufacture scientists for the exercise past times the manufacture they are employed by. The manufacture scientists pick out the bulk on the commission too upper-hand inwards whatsoever procedure involving democratic voting. To me this is a clear CoI [Conflict of Interest] ... While the IEEE has the fantabulous expertise inwards the surface area of telecom technology, the Conflict of Interest remains an unresolved number that undermines, inwards my opinion, reliability of the IEEE security standards."
Wi-Fi too wellness – review with unfounded conclusions:
"Scientists from the ‘EMF Portal’ presented a review of the to-date published studies examining wellness effects of exposures to wi-fi. Conclusion of the study was that in that location is no wellness work to live concerned virtually but, at the same time, our noesis is even hence real limited. Unfortunately, scientists’ determination was non justified past times the presented prove ... This is the existent problem: the insufficient research, the pitiable lineament research, too lack of inquiry studies is beingness interpreted equally “evidence” for the lack of wellness effects. This is wrong."
Some excerpts from the abstract:
Is in that location prove of biological effects from WLAN too comparable electromagnetic fields inwards everyday exposure situations? Systematic review of experimental studies. F. Gollnick, L. Bodewein, D. Graefrath, K. Jagielski, T. Kraus & S. Driessen. Research Center for Bioelectromagnetic Interaction (femu), RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany
“…We reviewed the prove of experimental studies for biological or wellness effects past times everyday exposure to RF fields of WLAN devices or exposures comparable to such RF fields. From 225 potentially eligible references, 65 relevant studies using exposures below, at, or slightly to a higher house the exposure limits were included.
Just over one-half of those 44 studies of it using exposures below or at the limits showed an effect. The large bulk of these 44 studies had medium or strong methodical weaknesses. More detailed evaluations are ongoing. So far no substantial prove of wellness implications is derived from the results, but the generally pitiable study lineament impairs the informative value of the introduce available scientific database…"
“…Only studies using signals inwards the 2.4 GHz ring remained inwards the lastly review, because all of the studies using signals inwards the v GHz ring (i.e., 12 of 225 potentially eligible studies) had to live excluded, generally due to also high powerfulness levels. Only 3 studies on human subjects were identified alongside the relevant inwards vivo studies…”
“…Just over one-half of the 44 studies finally reviewed showed an number of the existent WLAN or comparable to WLAN exposure. Overall, the most affected biological endpoints from a vast multifariousness were oxidative stress, reproductive arrangement functions including sperm quality, too heart charge per unit of measurement variability. Most of the studies had medium or strong methodological weaknesses…”
Summarizing our results hence far, nosotros produce non derive substantial prove of wellness implications from it. Nevertheless, the large amount of studies of insufficient lineament discovered inwards this review poses a serious work inwards damage of substantial wellness run a jeopardy assessment.
Studies on human subjects with exposures to WLAN RF fields or comparable fields are hence far real rare."
Closing words
"... in that location is seen a hitting shortage inwards inquiry on biological effects of EMF executed inwards human volunteers."
"... Gaps inwards the noesis ask to live filled earlier nosotros tin sack brand reliable too scientifically valid conclusions concerning EMF too populace health. At this point, the fence on EMF too populace wellness is to a greater extent than too to a greater extent than resembling a “shouting competition” where 2 opinions, neither of them beingness sufficiently supported past times the scientific evidence, are beingness presented… too the groups presenting these opinions produce non fifty-fifty desire to utter to each other. The mistrust runs deep, too solely goodness scientific discipline would live the means to resolve the problematic issues."
