Re: [Goanet] Misinformation of the radiation from mobile towers
It is important to obtain medical information from reliable sources.

(For more information on the IARC classification system, see our document, Known and Probable Human Carcinogens.) UNQUOTE Besides, my previous post on the subject cites a very recent findings, i.e. Dated 7the March, 2014. Any responsible person/authority, like say a Judge/Court cannot pronounce that an accused is ‘innocent’ due to ‘lack of evidence’. A Judge/Court can only acquit or exonerate based on ‘lack of evidence. In this case the “accused” is the cell Tower RF waves radiation; no responsible person can assure/pronounce that they are innocent! Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
Re: [Goanet] Misinformation of the radiation from mobile towers
Involved in this topic: 1: the stalled/stopped' construction of the mobile tower in Saligao. 2: the 'expert' Prof. Girish Kumar and his PPT presentation. 3: the concerns of Salgaocars (the residents of Saligao). 4: third parties with or without vested interests. I submit that the MAIN deciders in this matter should be the Salgaocars. It is they who have the fear (whether justified or not). It is they who will have to face the consequences (if any) of any radiation which is emitted by the towers. Present information suggests that cell phone technology is SAFE. But this information is of zero comfort to those are concerned. Besides, vested interest have aggressively promoted nuclear power plants (Sellafield) and certain medications like thalidomide in pregnancy and more recently VIOXX. The experts' report commissioned by the Allahabad High Court (and referred to by Gerard Delaney) indicates that there is No CONCLUSIVE Evidence that cell tower radiation is harmful. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/388471/radiation-fears-mobile-towers-unfounded.html I am particularly concerned that experts changed the wording in the report from No Evidence to No CONCLUSIVE Evidence Even though I am NOT an expert on much esp this high level stuff, I took note of the following from Gerard Delaney: I had even explained that the average frequency of light is one million times greater than that of microwave radiation. Thus it is ridiculous to be afraid of microwave radiation and not of visible light radiation which is one million times stronger!' http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2014-March/238585.html Ridiculous as fear is and can be, I believe that Salgaocars have a right NOT to want anything in their neighbourhood, they are fearful of. jc

[Goanet] Misinformation of the radiation from mobile towers
Last year, a small group of Saliganvkars created awareness in the Lourdes Convent school hall about the alleged dangers of the radiation from Mobile towers by showing a PP presentation of the so called expert Prof. Girish Kumar. The same presentation was used again for a much bigger group of villagers in Gladstone Ribeiro Sa's house and as a result the construction of the mobile tower by Dmello Telepower Pvt Ltd in Saligao was forced to stop. When 6 of the leaders had met in my (Gerard Delaney's) house after the Lourdes convent program, I had clearly explained to them how this Prof. Girish Kumar was using his position to create fear in the minds of the public about the radiation and thereby helping his daughter's business of selling meters to measure radiation and shields for it. I had even explained that the average frequency of light is one million times greater than that of microwave radiation. Hence according to the well established laws of Physics, light has energy greater than that of microwave radiation by one million. Thus it is ridiculous to be afraid of microwave radiation and not of visible light radiation which is one million times stronger! *However, what transcribed during the meeting, was never released to the general public by the leaders of the agitation.* Now a special panel of 13 members set up by the DoT in keeping with the Allahabad High Court's orders, has exposed the misdeeds of the Professor and affirmed that there is no danger to the health from the radiations emitted by mobile towers. Read about this at: *Deccan Herald dated 25**^th **of February 2014* http://www.deccanherald.com/content/388471/radiation-fears-mobile-towers-unfounded.html /Rejecting the contention of electrical engineering professor Girish Kumar, the 13-member panel said Kumar repeatedly red-flagged these concern in the media because of his family's commercial interest in companies involved in manufacturing radiation-shielding products.

Re: [Goanet] Misinformation of the radiation from mobile towers
Thanks Gerard for sharing this information. It is important to counter these bogus scares that crop up from time to time by educating people about basic scientific concepts. Underlying these scares there invariably is some commercial scam or MLM-type fraud being perpetrated.
