DECT Cordless Phones and Wi-Fi Networks 

DECT Phones and Wi-Fi Networks pose a significant health risk, especially to children

In December 2005 The Health Ministry in Salzburg, Austria issued a Health warning concerning DECT phones and Wi-Fi (wireless networks) and urged they not be used in Schools and Kindergartens. 

Read the letter from the Health Minister in Salzburg, Austria: "The official advice ... is not to use WLAN and DECT in Schools or Kindergartens."

July 18th 2009: Israeli government bans marketing wi-fi home devices as a precautionary measure

By Aviv Lavie

The communication and environment ministries have banned the cellular companies from marketing
phones in the house and internet connection that are based on cellular modem, because of the radiation concern.

The cellular companies will have to conceal the plans to become an important factor in the field of communication in the house The communication ministry executive and the environmental ministry executive summarized that the companies will receive an order to stop marketing the wired phones and the internet connection that are based on cellular wireless modem.

Cellcom, which led the new field, already removed from its website the advertisements for these products. The companies Bezeq and other companies that operate house services that are based on wired communication are the big profit makers from this.

The story began 3 months ago, when the head of radiation arm in the environment ministry, Dr. Stelian Galberg, watched an advertisement for house communication systems of the cellular companies, that started being sold without anyone informing him. Galberg was afraid that if these systems succeed in penetrating, there would be a need to erect thousands of new antennas in order to enable them operate and the radiation quantity will increase a lot. The reason for that is that in the house the system operate as a wired line like Bezeq systems but outside the house they receive the communication from the cellular antenna.

In the Environment ministry [they] approached to the communication ministry, and claimed that the law of non ionizing radiation enforces to act according to the precautionary principle, meaning expose a person to radiation only when it’s justified. “When a person travels in his car and wants to talk on the phone he has no choice but do it with antennas”, Galberg told to Business, “but when we are talking on the phone in the house, it can be done with wired communication” The radiation levels will increase significantly

In the first stages, the communication ministry did not take a stand and enabled the cellular companies widen the marketing of the home systems, but in a meeting between the two executives of the ministries, the representatives of the communication ministry admitted that the only justification for the service is the technological neutrality principle, according to which, the communication ministry will offer to the public many technologies and they will choose according to their will the most suitable service.

In contrast, the environment ministry team clarified that the service will increase significantly the radiation levels to which the public is exposed “with no justification”. In view of these things, it was agreed to order the cellular companies to stop immediately the marketing of home systems

“The law forces us to act according to the precautionary principle” Galberg said yesterday. “When we transfer the guideline to the cellular companies, if some company will continue to market wired systems it will be against the law. We will enable them do it only where there is no wired communiation like in isolated houses that are disconnected to Bezeq lines.”

The question is what lessons will be learnt of this development. Dr Galberg said “we discussed the lessons and the first thing we told them is ‘next time ask us first’. They didn’t receive it with love, but definitely with understanding”. The cellular companies said that “the subject is being examined”. The minister of environment said that “the health consideration is before any economic ” consideration, and we have no intention to compromise on this subject.

September, 2007: German Gov't warns citizens to avoid using Wi-Fi

In Germany the Federal Government's Agency for Radiation Protection issued a Health warning concerning DECT phones:

Press Release, 31 January 2006

German Federal Agency For Radiation Protection (Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz - BfS)

DECT - The Radiation Source at Home: Cordless Phones radiate unnecessarily

A cordless phone of DECT standard is often the strongest source of high frequency electromagnetic radiation in a private home. To renounce your cordless phone as a precautionary measure will contribute to minimise your personal radiation exposure. "However, it would be possible for the industry to develop DECT phones which could address the issues of precaution and radiation protection better than the current devices" said Rüdiger Matthes, expert of the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (Federal Radiation Protection Agency)

Cordless landline telephones of DECT standard have no output control to regulate power output according to the actual power needed. Therefore, the base station and the handset are permanently emitting radiation at the same power level during a call, no matter whether the user holding the handset is one meter or 300 meters away from the base station.

Matthes: "Therefore, we demand that cordless phones should be developed to include a feature of power output control, so that the power output during a call would be adapted to the distance of the handset from the base station, using only the level of power necessary to keep the communication going."

To secure smooth operation, the base station also continually sends a control signal to the handsets, including when the phone is not in use. According to the BfS, cordless telephones should be devised so that they are emission free on stand by mode. "Luckily, there is a new generation of devices which fulfil just this requirement, and thus help to lower the radiation load in the home." declared Matthes.

To prevent possible health risks, the BfS recommends minimising personal radiation exposure. The following tips will help you if you are not prepared to completely give up the benefits of a cordless phone: Put the base station in a place where you do not spend much time, for example in the hall. Do not put it directly on your desk. Only make short phone calls. Use the latest generation of phones which are emission free when the handset in connected to the base station.

Wi-fi and Electromagnetic fields

We are constantly being misled by elements of the mobile phone and electronics industries (who have huge vested interests in the infrastructure) into believing that the pulsed microwaves used in cell phones and Wifi are harmless. Their sole justification for this is that the radiation is too weak to generate significant heat when they are absorbed by living tissues.

However, they are seemingly oblivious to the fact that living cells depend on electricity and electrically charged atoms and molecules (ions) to maintain their healthy functioning. They can therefore be damaged electrically by electromagnetic radiation that is far too weak to generate significant heat. 

For example, our cells use the energy from food to pump ions out of mitochondria (the cells’ power stations).  They are then let back in through an ATPase (an enzyme not unlike a molecular water wheel). Each turn of the wheel generates a molecule of ATP, which is the main energy currency of the cell. In effect, an electric current flowing into and out of these tiny structures provides virtually all of our bodily energy.

Some of this ATP is then used to pump ions out of the cell. When they return via special enzymes (called transporters) in the cell membrane, they can carry with them essential nutrients that the cell needs to absorb. So we use electricity to absorb our food too.

Another example is in our nerve and brain cells. They use ATP to pump sodium and potassium ions across their external membranes. Nerve impulses are generated when these ions are suddenly let back again to give sharp spikes of current.

Last but not least, the membranes themselves (which are only two molecules thick!) are held together electrically. They consist mostly of negatively charged molecules bound together by positively charged ions (mostly calcium), which act as a kind of cement.

Unfortunately, weak electromagnetic fields gently tease out some of these calcium ions, which weakens the membranes and makes them more inclined to leak. As a result, our bodies become less efficient at generating energy and our nerve and brain cells are more likely to generate false impulses.

False impulses generated in sensory cells can give symptoms of electrosensitivity, whereas those generated in the brain can affect mental function and may also lead to stress headaches. Even people who do not regard themselves as electrosensitive, frequently get headaches and other unpleasant symptoms when exposed for long periods to the radiation from Wifi, cordless phones and mobile phones.

Other reported effects from prolonged exposure to pulsed microwaves include an increase risk of cancer and a loss of fertility. This seems to be associated with observable damage to cellular DNA, probably as a result of the leakage of digestive enzymes from lysosomes (tiny particles in living cells that digest and recycle waste) whose membranes have been damaged by the radiation.

Pulses carried by microwaves are particularly dangerous. This is because their very short wavelength allows the transmission of pulses with extremely rapid rise and fall times, and it is the rate of change of the fields (rather than their total energy) that does most of the biological damage; it catapults vital calcium ions away from cell membranes, which in turn makes them leak. This leakage can explain the great majority of the observed adverse health effects of prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation (for more on this, together with references, please visit http://tinyurl.com/55286a ).

It is therefore unwise and arguably dangerous to be exposed for long periods to the radiation from Wifi transmitters, cordless phones and mobile phones (especially their base stations, which run  24/7). They should certainly not be deployed in public places until all the risks have been independently evaluated. Any claims that they are harmless because they do not generate significant heat are completely unwarranted.
