Να και μία πρόσφατη αναφορά που αφορά την έκθεση στην ηλεκτρομαγνητική ακτινοβολία και τις επιπτώσεις της στην υγεία από επιστήμονες των ΗΠΑ, της Σουηδίας, της Δανίας, Αυστρίας και της Κίνας:

V. CONCLUSIONS
• We cannot afford ‘business as usual” any longer. It is time that planning for new
power lines and for new homes, schools and other habitable spaces around them is done
with routine provision for low-ELF environments . The business-as-usual deployment of
new wireless technologies is likely to be risky and harder to change if society does not
make some educated decisions about limits soon. Research must continue to define what
levels of RF related to new wireless technologies are acceptable; but more research
should not prevent or delay substantive changes today that might save money, lives and
societal disruption tomorrow.
• New regulatory limits for ELF based on biologically relevant levels of ELF are
warranted. ELF limits should be set below those exposure levels that have been linked in
childhood leukemia studies to increased risk of disease, plus an additional safety
factor. It is no longer acceptable to build new power lines and electrical facilities that
place people in ELF environments that have been determined to be risky (at levels
generally at 2 mG (0.2 μT) and above).
• While new ELF limits are being developed and implemented, a reasonable
approach would be a 1 mG (0.1 μT) planning limit for habitable space adjacent to all
new or upgraded power lines and a 2 mG (0.2 μT) limit for all other new construction, It
is also recommended for that a 1 mG (0.1 μT) limit be established for existing
habitable space for children and/or women who are pregnant . This recommendation is
Key Scientific Evidence and Public Health Policy Recommendations Dr. Carpenter and Ms Sage
based on the assumption that a higher burden of protection is required for children who
cannot protect themselves, and who are at risk for childhood leukemia at rates that are
traditionally high enough to trigger regulatory action. This situation in particular
warrants extending the 1 mG (0.1 μT) limit to existing occupied space. "Establish" in
this case probably means formal public advisories from relevant health agencies.
• While it is not realistic to reconstruct all existing electrical distributions systems, in the
short term; steps to reduce exposure from these existing systems need to be initiated,
especially in places where children spend time, and should be encouraged.
• A precautionary limit of 0.1 (μW/cm2 (which is also 0.614 Volts per meter) should be
adopted for outdoor, cumulative RF exposure. This reflects the current RF science and
prudent public health response that would reasonably be set for pulsed RF (ambient)
exposures where people live, work and go to school. This level of RF is experienced as
whole-body exposure, and can be a chronic exposure where there is wireless coverage
present for voice and data transmission for cell phones, pagers and PDAs and other
sources of radiofrequency radiation. Some studies and many anecdotal reports on ill
health have been reported at lower levels than this; however, for the present time, it could
prevent some of the most disproportionate burdens placed on the public nearest to such
installations. Although this RF target level does not preclude further rollout of WI-FI
technologies, we also recommend that wired alternatives to WI-FI be implemented,
particularly in schools and libraries so that children are not subjected to elevated RF
levels until more is understood about possible health impacts. This recommendation
should be seen as an interim precautionary limit that is intended to guide preventative
actions; and more conservative limits may be needed in the future.
