The European editors of two international journals refused to publish this Belgian study which shows serious perturbations in the olfactory and visual memories of ants exposed to electromagnetic radiation similar to that surrounding GSM and communication masts. The American journal, “Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine” accepted the study for publication in June 2012. Thank you to Teslabel for this information (www.teslabel.be). Original article in French.

The ICNIRP guidelines based as they are on thermal effects alone are obviously inadequate. However, the situation in India is so bad that even those represent a step-forward: more importantly this action represents the growing concern and recognition of the dangers to public due to EM radiation in India. They are also concerned about the wider environmental impact for the mobile phone network, notably on bees.

On 26th June the following appeared in the Telegraph:
Apple growers in the South East have lost up to 90% of their stock following one of the wettest seasons on record.
Heavy rains in April and May have led to a fall in bee numbers with the result that fruit blossoms have not been pollinated.
Tony Ealses Tendring Fruit Farm in Hailsham, East Sussex, said:”I doubt if I’ve got a 10 per cent crop.It’ll be ‘hunt the apple’ this autumn.

Before making the usual mechanical calls for more research it’s a good idea to look at research which has already been done. See:

When was the last time you saw a sparrow? They no longer flit around window sills, peck at grains or chirp noisily in the backyard; sparrows seem to have disappeared completely.

More on the CCD/EM radiation connection
With food prices around the world skyrocketing, increasing hunger and in some cases acting as a catalyst for regime changes in the Middle East, there is more to worry about on the horizon.

The insane nonsense about climate change is simply de riguer and should be discounted: bees have survived millions of years of climate change including dramatic and catastrophic climate alterations far beyond anything we are experiencing at the moment. What matters here is that the disappearance of the honey bee so apparent in the West is also happening in India and that, unlike here, the connection of CCD to EM radiation provenant from the mobile phone network is being investigated at official level.

KOLLAM: Honey production, both wild and from apiaries across the State, has registered a fall for the third consecutive year.

Summary
The potential health effects of the very low frequency of electromagnetic fields surrounding power lines and electrical devices are the subject of ongoing research and a significant amount of public debate. While electrical and electromagnetic fields in certain frequency bands have fully beneficial effects which are applied in medicine, other non-ionising frequencies, be they sourced from extremely low frequencies, power lines or certain high frequency waves used in the fields of radar, telecommunications and mobile telephony, appear to have more or less potentially harmful, non-thermal, biological effects on plants, insects and animals, as well as the human body when exposed to levels that are below the official threshold values.
