To Bee Or Not To Bee

Colony Collapse Syndrome (CCS) poses a serious risk to bees as well as to global agriculture. Bees are critical not only in producing honey, but also serve as the main crop pollinators for one third to one half of the agricultural produce in this country. Bees are pivotal in their role as plant pollinators. Many of the crops that depend on bees are many of the berries and fruits, as well as citrus crops. Additionally bees are critical to maintaining the viability of many of the nut crops that are produced, i.e. cashews, pecans, almonds etc. Another role is that bees are necessary also in pollinating many of the crops that are necessary to establish many of the crops that are used to restore the soil, i.e. clover and other species. There has recently been noticed an epidemic of die-off of bees, or perhaps more correctly the total disappearance of bees from their hives. What is noticed in many of the hives that are put out is that after a certain period of time, is that the hives become vacant or empty. There are no bees to be found. Also what has been noticed is that other opportunistic insects will avoid the hives as well.

Bouygues Telecom has been ordered by the Versailles court of appeals to
take down a mobile base station in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, France, or be
fined EUR 500 per day until it does so. The lawyer for the plaintiffs,
Richard Forget, told AFP that Bouygues will also have to pay his
clients EUR 7,000 per couple for exposing them to a health hazard. The
case was brought by three couples who fought for the removal of

Electromagnetic Fields and Health: Executive Report- Andrew Galsworthy

Membrane leakage

Scribd.com

All the living cells in our bodies are surrounded by membranes just two molecules

thick. Most of these molecules are negatively charged and tend to repel one

another. However, they are held together by positive ions (mainly calcium) that fit

in between them. The ions’ forces of attraction for the negative molecules

on either side help to bind them together like mortar holding together the bricks of

a wall.

Extremely weak alternating electromagnetic fields, similar to those produced by

Wifi, cell phones, cordless phones, and their respective base stations, can act on

these calcium ions and dislodge them. This weakens the membrane and makes it

more inclined to leak. Very little energy is required since the calcium has to be

moved only far enough from the membrane for an alternative ion (usually

potassium) to sneak into its place. Since potassium (with only one positive

charge) is less good than calcium (which has two charges) at holding the

membrane together, it still leaks.

First Bees, Now Birds

First the frogs started disappearing.

Then the bees started disappearing.

Now, according to the Seattle Times, its birds:

Pelicans suffering from a mysterious malady are crashing into cars and boats, wandering along roadways and turning up dead by the hundreds across the West Coast, from southern Oregon to Baja California, Mexico, bird-rescue workers say.

Is wi-fi making me sick?

Is wi-fi making me sick?

10 days ago I got wifi in my apartment and have had it constantly switched on, and I have been feeling sick, dizzy, aching and even having visual problems since. My blood pressure has even risen very high and I keep feeling my heart beat very stongly now and again. I went out today and after a while I felt okay again, then came home and it started again. could there be a connection, I hear 3 in 100 people are senstive to such things…

Best Answer – Chosen by Asker

My dear friend, your reaction to Wi-Fi and the symptoms are well documented – it’s know as electrohypersensitivity. You appear to be having an extreme reaction. The governments around the world and the wireless industry are denying this condition exists even though they have been aware of it since the 1940’s. They are running scared because so many people have gotten sick and there is a huge liabilty around saying that a technology is safe when it isn’t. The German government has come out and said all citizens should avoid Wi-Fi. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

MOBILES ‘COULD DAMAGE YOUR HEART AND KIDNEYS’; New health warning

Posted by seumasach on January 4, 2009

Sunday Mirror

12th Decemeber, 2008

A DISTURBING new report claims that mobile phones could cause serious long-term damage to the heart and kidneys.

Scientists found that exposing red blood cells to low-level radiation caused them leak a subsance called haemoglobin.

The iron-based part of a red blood cell is vital because it carries oxygen around the body.

But if the haemoglobin leaks from the cells then it accumulates in the kidneys and heart, which could seriously damage your health. Read the rest of this entry »

Abstract:

A possible effect of long-term exposure to low-intensity electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone (GSM) base stations on the number of House Sparrows during the breeding season was studied in six residential districts in Belgium. We sampled 150 point locations within the six areas to examine small-scale geographic variation in the number of House Sparrow males and the strength of electromagnetic radiation from base stations. Spatial variation in the number of House Sparrow males was negatively and highly significantly related to the strength of electric fields from both the 900 and 1800 MHz downlink frequency bands and from the sum of these bands (Chi²-tests and AIC-criteria, P < 0.001). This negative relationship was highly similar within each of the six study areas, despite differences among areas in both the number of birds and radiation levels. Thus, our data show that fewer House Sparrow males were seen at locations with relatively high electric field strength values of GSM base stations and therefore support the notion that long-term exposure to higher levels of radiation negatively affects the abundance or behaviour of House Sparrows in the wild.
