My Yellow Lab Seems Short

Electromagnetic pollution. Effects ... "undesirable"

Un effetto accertato delle onde elettromagnetiche cosiddette ad alta frequenza (anche se non ionizzanti) è l'innalzamento della temperatura dei tessuti biologici attraversati, soprattutto quelli più ricchi di acqua. Nel caso dei telefoni cellulari, la potenza irradiata è bassa (solitamente minore di 1 watt) così che il riscaldamento prodotto è dell'ordine di poche frazioni grade, almost entirely located in the user's head, still less the effect of an equal duration of exposure to solar radiation.
Individuals with pacemakers should observe a greater distance of 1 meter between the phone and the medical device as the EM waves can create false pulses produced in the circuits that could uncoordinated rhythm.
There are several studies documenting the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health.
The limits imposed by the U.S. which one? give a citation so far only take into account the thermal effects of heating skin caused by microwaves.
The microwave radiation causing at least two mechanisms that underlie the development of cancer: Micronuclei and heat shock proteins.
heat shock proteins: When is the overheating of points in human tissues, the body produces proteins to cope with the heat shock in an attempt to protect and repair cells overheated. These proteins also protect cancer cells making them resistant to therapy. In many cancers the number of these proteins is very high.
micronucleus formation: Micronuclei are broken strands of DNA and indicate that the cells are no longer able to repair itself correctly. Studies in the telecommunications industry confirm that radiation from mobile phones produce micronuclei in human blood cells at levels much lower than those required by the regulations concerning exposure of the U.S. government. All cancers are caused by genetic damage and the presence of micronuclei in cells is the first warning sign of cancer. The doctors who were treating the victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 used the micronucleus test to determine the extent of the damage caused by radiation. By the way, David de Pomerai, British molecular toxicologist, confirmed that cells with genetic damage can not be healed in a cancer much more aggressive. The British researcher Alisdair Phillips made a more qualitative analysis that gives an idea of \u200b\u200bthis increased aggressiveness of cancer cells with genetic damage, and found that within minutes of exposure to radiation similar to those emitted from mobile phones can transform an active cancer 5% to 95% in an active, all during the show and for a while 'time after. Summing up the results of these studies, a few hours of microwave exposure much lower than the limits of current law would cause a sharp increase in the activity of cancer cells, and genetic damage to these no longer curable, and transmitted to subsequent generations of cells. Indeed, in 2004, a series of studies commissioned by the European Union has confirmed that the damage caused by the waves emitted by mobile phones are transmitted to the next generation of cells.
effects on the thyroid: the microwave radiation on the brain produce effects such as slowing down or stopping production by the pituitary gland, also known as pituitary, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), leading to a drastic reduction of thyroid hormones T4 and T3
difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation: Often a distinction is made between the effects of these two categories. The effects of mobile phones would be lower, depending on radiation non-ionizing. However, the studies mentioned above on the radio and microwave frequencies confirm that non-ionizing radiation? such as those emitted by radio transmitters and wireless devices? inflict on human cells the same type of damage of ionizing radiation, with the same carcinogenic [citation. About the effects of ionizing radiation there is a substantial agreement (an example of documented study, the National Academy of Sciences, who confirmed that even very low doses of ionizing radiation from X-rays to gamma rays, throughout life, cause cancer).
greater effects in children. The effects of electromagnetic radiation are more severe when they accumulate over time, but there are more sensitive than other age groups. In other words, have an exposure of 30 to 40 years, has a minor effect of a sustained 20 to 30 years, although the duration is the same. Children absorb far more radiation than adults.
The destruction from an early age to neuronal cells aside a "brain reserve" that in old age might compensate for the death of neurons caused by Alzheimer's or other degenerative diseases. If the brain has an excess of neurons used little or nothing, they can be useful to replace those who died due to disease of old age. Researchers at the University of Utah have discovered that the brain a 5 year old child absorbs four times the amount of radiation than an adult brain, eye fluid and a 5 year old child absorbs a quantity of radiation over 10 times faster than the eye of an adult
