“Parents need to know their children are at risk of this illness.”
Mobile phones can cause brain tumours, court rules.
A landmark court case has ruled there is a link between using a mobile phone and brain tumours, paving the way for a flood of legal actions.
By Richard Alleyne: Innocente Marcolini, 60, an Italian businessman, fell ill after using
a handset at work for up to six hours every day for 12 years.
Now Italy’s Supreme Court in Rome has blamed his phone saying there
is a “causal link” between his illness and phone use, the Sun has
reported.
Mr Marcolini said: “This is significant for very many people. I
wanted this problem to become public because many people still do not
know the risks. [...] “Parents need to know their children are at risk of this illness.”
British scientists have claimed there is insufficient evidence to prove any link to mobiles. [...] And here is the reason for the limited studies

[...]
They said electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile and cordless phones can damage cells, making tumours more likely.
Prof Levis told The Sun: “The court decision is extremely important. It finally officially recognises the link.
“It’ll open not a road but a motorway to legal actions by victims. We’re considering a class action.”
Alasdair Philips of Powerwatch, which campaigns for more research on mobile use, said: “This is an interesting case and proves the need for more studies.
[...]
The World Health Organisation urged limits on mobile use last year, calling them a Class B carcinogen.
[...]
International radiation biology expert Michael Repacholi said: “Studies show no evidence of cancer. But if you are worried, use a headset, hands-free or loudspeaker.”

Repacholi has misrepresented the group’s conclusions, according to Chris Portier, who chaired the expert panel. “The paraphrasing sometimes has gone a bit far and may be misleading,” Portier told Microwave News. Portier is the associate director for risk assessment at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).
Portier cited a couple of examples. In a summary of the WHO report, Repacholi states that the EHC panel concluded that “The epidemiological evidence cannot be used as a basis for standards (exposure limits).”
“Such a statement is absurd,” said Portier, “Since they obviously can be used.”

Media lawyer Mark Stephens said the verdict could “open the floodgates” — even though there is no direct obligation on British courts to follow the Italians’ lead.
He said: “It is possible people will begin legal action here, but I think the chances of success are less. I think they’ll join any class action in Italy.”

Dr Busby and Children with Cancer -mobile phone research shut down
Published on Mar 9, 2012 by drdrwoland
Chris Busby lays into the UK charity Children
with Cancer, the largest childhood cancer charity in the UK, which he
explains is standing in the way of finding the real causes of childhood
cancer. He advises people to stop donating their money to an
organisation that wastes it and which avoids looking at what is the
obvious cause of childhood cancer, environmental exposure to radioactive
contamination. This is clear from the recent studies of uranium
particle exposure in Fallujah Iraq and a 14-fold increase in childhood
cancer in that town. Nuclear sites, he argues, also run on uranium and
release particulates, and are associated with childhood cancer. He
accuses the conference committee of bias and draws attention to the
astonishing choice of ex- nuclear industry British Nuclear Fuels
(Sellafield) research chief, Richard Wakeford, (a man who has described
himself as BNFLs Rottweiler) as the CWC plenary conference speaker on
the relationship between ionizing radiation and childhood leukemia.

Robert James Parsons: the World Health Organisation
Published on May 14, 2012 by drdrwoland
video duration 48.00 mins (must watch Mr Parsons also talks about swiss rules on mobile phone masts)
Ditta Rietuma and Chris Busby ask Robert James Parsons (Geneva), about why the World Health Organisation will not address radiation
and health. Results are interesting and scary. WHO signed an agreement
with teh International Atomic Energy Agency in 1959 to leave research on
radiation and health to the IAEA whose remit is the development of
nuclear energy. See www.euradcom.org, www.bsrrw.org and www.llrc.org.
Also the Independent WHO
