Well, no. It's actually "panic waves." I refer, of course, at a dose of fear that regularly get in our body the media with the theme of black cats
The report concerned, signed by Francisco Javier Alonso, makes it quite clear his intentions from the same show: under the cover of the web ,
The reality is quite the opposite: the scientific literature has thousands of articles on this subject (more than 25,000, according to the actual story), but only a few are claimed to have found an adverse effect. However the author has managed to give one of them, on which said
One of the pioneers is Lennart Hardell, a medical oncologist at University Hospital in Orebro (Sweden) which investigated 4,000 people in connection with telephony and cancer. Selected two groups of people-one affected by the evil that study (brain tumor) and one unaffected (control group) - and compared the results statistically considering the time of telephone usage in each case. His results, he says, show "that after ten years of mobile phone use increases the risk of developing a glioma or acoustic neuroma, although it should be noted that the individual risk is very low: it is a disease that affects one in 10,000 persons. " In the case of low frequencies, the data show a significant increase in the incidence of leukemia in children who have lived for years in high electromagnetic environments.
Someday we must speak more calmly Hardell, a guy whose story keeps disturbing parallels with Andrew Wakefield : based on results rather dubious man has done all positions in the scene of dissent health, giving lectures here and there, selling books and renting his services as an expert witness in court proceedings. The interesting thing here is that Francisco Javier Alonso has gone out to meet a real needle in a haystack, one of the very few studies that attributed to radiation hazard mobile phone. It is as difficult as meeting a geologist who claims that the earth is flat.
Or not, because probably Alonso met the study through other "alternative" presented in his article, the flamboyant Geo-Environmental Health Foundation (whose official website is here, but they know much better if you visit this another link).
A foundation whose advice, as you can imagine after reading the great input Migui, is bad joke. According to the report, these symptoms " might have something to do with waves "
- Do you have a restless sleep?
- Do you wake with a feeling of not being rested?
- Do you have nightmares, talking in his sleep?
- Do you feel worse (or better) since you moved?
- you notice any change in their physical or mood following a change of address?
- Do you sleep significantly better when going on vacation?
- Does your child have nightmares, sleepwalking or sleep?
- ever Do you tend to curl up in the same area of \u200b\u200bthe bed?
- Does chronic fatigue or general feeling of lack of energy and deadness?
- Do you have frequent headaches and your doctor not attached to anything concrete?
- Have you noticed that plants wilt at home in any particular area, and not in others?
- Do you have any symptom or condition does not improve with treatment?
Acabradabrante, right? Come on, unless you do not sleep better when they go on vacation, did not notice anything if you change your floor, do not take home a dark corner in which wilting and finally, do not live a perfectly normal and current is being attacked by the terrible electromagnetic waves. me you would put out the same router and ...
Which, incidentally, is clearly insufficient if we read the string of gibberish
- Electrical installation. "Make sure the wiring does not emit more radiation than is strictly necessary and that the grounding work well."
- Wireless. "The wireless technologies such as DECT cordless phones or Wi-Fi routers, saturate our environment high frequency radiation. Choose preferably cable technologies and makes use of the wireless only if unavoidable, always putting the sources radiation away from high places remain. "
- appliances. "Washing machine, microwave, oven, furnace, induction or ceramic cookers should not be on the wall next to his bedside. Even when turned off, they emit radiation that penetrate the wall. "
- mobiles. "Speaking by mobile phone, make hands-free, if you should avoid placing the side of the brain, will be protected in their radiation. Connect the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi only when needed. Ensure that children not use cell phones. "
- Take care of your break. Do not place on her bedside table appliances such as radio-alarm clocks halogen lamps with transformer or cordless phones. Do not put the phone to charge at his bedside. Avoid spring mattresses and box springs with ferromagnetic parts.
- Static Electricity. "Avoid excessive use of synthetic materials: carpets, fabrics, kitchen worktops, furniture, etc. Place humidifiers and use mainly natural materials. "
- Radon Gas. "When decorating your home, avoid the use of basalt and granite in ceramic or stoneware that can be source of radon gas, radioactive. If you have these materials, must have good ventilation. "
- antennas and cables. Before purchasing a new home or office monitor that there is about telecommunications antennas or mobile phones, power lines, power lines or transformers urban.
- Intelligent Buildings. "The windows impassable places, access floors and air conditioners are breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi for the increase in positive ionization. Use ionizers to improve the environment. "
Okay, yes, I recognize that some are downright funny. And given that a journalist can people seriously say these things also make you laugh (and mourn). But do not forget that the report also mentions the syndrome called electromagnetic hypersensitivity , "disease" that portrayed quite well when he says that
To date, no scientific evidence supporting the existence of a relationship between these symptoms and exposure to EMF. Studies in Scandinavia have shown that, under properly controlled conditions of exposure to EMF, there are no consistent patterns of reaction in the exposed. This disease, according to these results, could be due to other factors such as noise or stress related to the presence of new technologies.
A pearl of rigor quite striking in the whole story, but frankly it is incomplete. Because, probably one of the factors that influence the development of this "syndrome" is unwarranted panic to electromagnetic radiation. Panic
to be, among other things, the uncritical publication of reports such as this.
PS: That said, it is worth remembering that both XL Semanal as newspapers have Vocento group mailbox to send letters. Let us use them.
