Harmful Effects of Cellphone Radiation to Humans, Animals and Plants (Part 1)

  Harmful Effects of Cellphone Radiation to Humans, Animals and Plants

NOTE: The current global restriction obliging citizens to stay in their homes to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, and the policy and program of adopting on-line and blended education, work from home, pose great danger to health and environment from exposure to radiation from cellphones, computers, TV, and other sources.

Radiation is an invisible deadly pollution of our postmodern era. It is the man-made or man-induced kind of radiation spawned by the splitting of the atom on one hand and the invention of the microchip on the other, that jointly and collectively with the proliferation of their uses, became extremely high risk to humans and all living things.

My generation saw the horrendous effect of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan that ended WWII in 1945.  

Dead man walking could have been imagined from the aftermath of the bombing, zombies aimlessly walking down abandoned streets. Movies even made such fearful scenes dramatic. I could barely understand then in my early age, not until I was able to understand the workings of a maverick neutron targeting huge number of atoms in a blinding blast which scientists call chain reaction. 

To this day, six decades after, people are still dying from radiation residues whose half life remains fatal even after many generations particularly at the epicenter.  

Armageddon needed redefinition by this human feat - or shall I say defeat, for it spawned for nearly half a century of Cold War which polarized the world into two warring ideologies, but thanks to the kinder side of humanity, the Cold War was put to an end in 1989. 

But it did not actually end there. Nuclear accidents - the melting down of nuclear generators in Chernobyl in Russia, Three-Mile Island in the US and Fukushima in Japan all attests to the vulnerability of technology to destruction, however modern and safe it may be.

Today we are engaged in a second great discovery, the power of cyberspace communication tapped by the invention of the microchip. The Age of Computerization. The birth of a second breed of radiation, first alleged to be harmless because of its non-ionizing nature unlike the ionizing radiation that directly break cell-tissues and organic compounds.
 

Cellphone traffic everyday

Non-ionizing radiation emitted by electronic gadgets, from radio and TV to cellphones have proved in the long run to be harmful contrary to guarantees of its safe use. Individual units per se have very low emissions, but each one is a miniature volcano to compared with, and with millions and millions now in use - and increasing at an unprecedented rate, the collective effect is alarmingly dangerous to an epidemic level.

We are at center stage of  interconnecting cellphone towers compounded by TV and radio antennae, radar discs, interceptor devices, and many more features that service an ever expanding communications market.

Here in these photos, illustrations and graphs sourced from the Internet, we picture ourselves as unsuspecting victims of a super technology the tools we have always believed and in realized in one way or the other, to be the tools of progress.  Progress it may be, but the cost is also great.  It is actually an antithesis to the point we ask ourselves, "Are we better of with super technology?" 

What then is The Good Life, when we are victims of our own making? Slaves of   science and technology,  social media, fast transportation, modern medicine treating ailments, all brought forth by no less than our pursuit of affluence?  

      Even at 79, I consider myself an unwary member in a worldwide club of hundreds of millions of cellphone users.  The cellphone has become man's best friend in exchange of a biological one. We seem not to be in in today's society without the gadget day and night, often complementary with other electronic devices. Cellphones are virtually implanted in our body, in the mind and heart, in our nervous system -  and in the spirit, too. Sea change, and where are we?   

Today I have maintenance medicine for my heart, kidney, hypertension, and yes, remedies for allergy and headache sleeplessness. fatigue, etc. An yet at retirement age, past the world of struggle, I deserve that peace and quiet, of leisure and enjoyment in the golden years of life.  I pause to decipher the signs and symptoms that negate such potential gains.  It is not what I am that I realize to be more important.  It is the future of the young ones who are more vulnerable to risks made complex and mysterious by the invisible plague of radiation.

Cellphone Towers EMR Damaging Biological Systems of Birds, Insects, Humans

by Anthony Gucciar

Of the 919 studies, a staggering 593 showed the negative impact of mobile towers on birds, bees, humans, wildlife and plants. xxx The experts even cited an international study that pinpointed cellphone towers as a potential cause in the decline of animal populations. They went on to say that there was an urgent need to focus more scientific attention on the subject before it was too late.

In addition to calling for a law protecting urban flora and fauna from emerging threats of electromagnetic radiation, the experts are also suggesting bold signs and messages on the dangers of cell phone tower and radiation to be posted near the position of cellphone towers.

 
Disorientation - and eventual death - of migratory birds 

“To prevent overlapping high radiations fields, new towers should not be permitted within a radius of one kilometre of existing towers. If new towers must be built, construct them to be above 80 feet and below 199 feet … to avoid the requirement for aviation safety lighting,” it said.

The negative effects of EMR on life is something that has been ignored by health officials and legislators for years. As cellphone subscriptions outnumber the total number of US citizens, more and more mobile phone towers are popping up around the globe. As the experts cautioned, it is extremely pertinent that further independent research is conducted to highlight the dangers of EMR.

Milk Yield Dropped in Cellphone Tower Area. 

 A study into the effects of a cell tower on a herd of dairy cattle was conducted by the Bavarian state government in Germany and published in 1998.

The erection of the tower caused adverse health effects resulting in a measurable drop in milk production.

Relocating the cattle restored the milk yield.  Moving them back to the original pasture recreated the problem.  (Dairy Cow Study)

Mobile phone towers threaten honeybees

The Philippine Star, September 5, 2009

NEW DELHI (AFP) - The electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phone towers and cellphones can pose a threat to honeybees, a study published in India has concluded.

An experiment conducted in the southern state of Kerala found that a sudden fall in the bee population was caused by towers installed across the state by cellphone companies to increase their network.

The electromagnetic waves emitted by the towers crippled the "navigational skills" of the worker bees that go out to collect nectar from flowers to sustain bee colonies, said Dr. Sainuddin Oattazhy, who conducted the study, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

He found out that when a cellphone was kept near a beehive, the worker bees were unable to return, leaving the hives with only the queen and eggs and resulting in the collapse of the colony within 10 days.

Over 100,000 people in Kerala are engaged in apiculture and the dwindling worker bees population poses a threat to their livelihood. The bees also play a vital role in pollinating flowers to sustain vegetation.

If towers and mobile phones further increase, the honeybees may be wiped out, Pattzhy said.~

Student Science Experiment Shows Plants Won’t Grow Near Wi-Fi Router

by Morgana Matus, 06/02/13 © Kim Horsevad from Hjallerup School

Garden cress (Lepidium sativum): left, exposed to Wi-Fi routers failed to grow, while the control grown in another room without Wi-Fi routers developed normally.

  

Five ninth grade students from Hjallerup School in Denmark conducted a science experiment that elicited profound and shocking results about the effects of cell phone radiation. Their project was inspired by the observation that they had difficulty sleeping if their cell phones were next to their heads at night. They originally hoped to test the effects of a cell phone’s radiation on humans, but since their school did not have the necessary equipment to do so, they decided to experiment with radiation exposure on plants instead. Using two wireless routers that emitted about the same type of radiation as an average cell phone, they filled six trays full of the garden cress Lepidium sativum and placed them in a room with two routers, and then placed six trays of the plant in a room without Wi-Fi routers. Keep reading to find out what transpired during their experiment.

 Keep smartphones away from your bras and trousers

January 12, 2016

Melbourne: People these days are practically glued to their smartphones, but you should place some distance between yourself and your phone and avoid keeping them in bras and trousers.

Dr Devra Davis, an American scientist who has been studying the effects of mobile phone radiation for many years, has warned mobile phones could be doing more harm than good, reports News.com.au.

The scientist said mobile phone-like radiation was being used positively in the medical field to treat liver cancer, detect cancer and enhance the absorption of drugs in the brain.

 But the reason it is able to do this was because the radiation broke down the blood brain barrier, which protects the brain from foreign substances that may injure it.

 Hence it can also damage DNA, affect male fertility and change the brain`s metabolism. And that`s not all- researchers have also found mobile phone use could contribute to the development of depression, diabetes and heart irregularities.
