Feeling the vibration of your cellphone when it is not there or not on vibration mode?

Researches from the Georgia Institute of Technology, published a study in which they say that 90% of the people can feel a phantom vibration feeling when the smartphone is not in their pocket.

I think they are wrong. I think it has nothing to do with the vibration feature of the phone. I think the effect is caused by the RF and ELF radiation emitted from the smartphone while on idle mode, in which it keeps transmitting in the case the 3G/4G Data, WIFI and Bluetooth are On or when getting an SMS or when receiving a phone call.
This radiation cause the creation of currents over the nerves and next to muscles, by that causing a vibration feeling even when the phone is not in vibration mode.
Later on when the person gets the smartphone out of his body, the feeling continues as a phantom feeling.

RF radiation from a 2G cellphone at different distances

Cellphones emit RF EMR. The levels of the RF radiation are very strong next to the cellphone, but also a few feet away from it there are some levels of RF EMR. In this clips we will see the RF EMR levels 50 cm and 100 cm away from the phone.

The RF radiation levels drops as we move a way from the source, but in the case of 2G cellphone there are problematic levels of RF radiation even at 5 meters away from the device and sometimes even further away.

Electromagnetic hyper sensitive people can feel these levels even at 10 meters away from the device.

As In smoking, cellphone's users expose, not only them self, to the RF radiation. Other people, than the users, are also exposed to the passive RF exposure. The levels of the passive RF exposure can be very high when in elevators, buses, trains, and in other closed spaces or when several people uses their cellphone in the sometime

The WHO and IARC - RF radiation a "POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS"

The full PDF: http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2011/pdfs/pr208_E.pdf

The WHO (http://www.who.int/en/) and IARC (http://www.iarc.fr/)resolution from last week about RF radiation being "POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS" is a, "Too little, (almost) too late" conclusion. All the science is available for many years now, and a more drastic conclusion should have been accepted years ago. It seems like the conditions for such a soft decision have lately become right as the science pointing out for risk and harm caused by "low power" RF signals like those that are emitted from cellphones, WIFI routers and other wireless devices and equipment, have piled up, and can no longer be rejected or ignored. The WHO and IARC have came under pressure by reality, and they could no longer hold their old view that there is no risk in exposure to RF radiation. The WHO and IARC holdup of their old views, until few days ago, allowed the deployment of wireless networks around the world, while exposing billions of people to this harming RF radiation. Millions of people have been hurt and millions more will be hurt because of this delay, and on the other hand the delay allowed wireless and Cellphone suppliers, manufacturers and distributors to continue, for years, to push back criticism about the safety of their products and services. The soft decision will allow wireless and Cellphone suppliers, manufacturers and distributors to continue to do so for several years until the public will push for a stricter resolution, laws, and regulations.


In the last 30 years the WHO and IARC, and other bodies, refused to even consider RF radiation has having any health effect other than a heating effect. Even today after the revolutionary resolution was accepted, the IARC and the WHO still do not admit, or accept, the science and proof that point out the facts that low level RF radiation can cause DNA breaks, break blood brain barrier, oxidant stress, and many more influences of RF and ELF radiation. Their view on the matter was that RF radiation that is emitted from cellphones and other wireless equipment does not have enough energy to cause real damages, and for years they continue to argue that (like a broken record) and while people got sick and paid a big price for the WHO lack of understanding. Some people would even say the WHO opinion was shaped by political and financial pressure from the industry.

This resolution of the IARC come out after serious claims where made about conflict of interest of several members of the RF committee of the IARC, and after the chairman, Anders Ahlbom was removed from his position one day before the comity was schedule to meet (http://www.microwavenews.com/Ahlbom.html).The info about ahlbom conflict of interests was exposed by mona nillson(http://www.monanilsson.se/document/AhlbomConflictsIARCMay23.pdf).


The resolution came few days after the The Council of Europe called for dramatic reduction in EMF exposure ( http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/news/20110513-council-europe-resolution.asp), few weeks after a similar Russian committee recommend new mobile phone safety warnings for young people(http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/news/20110514-rncnirp.asp) and after a group of scientist said that "Stunning proof" about the link between cellphone and cancer was ignored for years. (http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2011/05/researchers-say-new-studies-confirm-cell-phone-hazards.html


The resolution was based on the results of the interphone study (The intephone study that was finished in 2004 and which results were published after more than 5 years of delay in 2010 and which are consider to be a low assessment and show 40% increased risk to people who used the mobile phone for more than 27 minutes per day), 2 additional new studies that were just published and which are part of the interphone study () , several studies that were done by prof. Lennart Hardell, and a study that was done by Yael Stein and Elihu Richter from the Hebrew University-Hadassah School of Medicine in Jerusalem (). All of these research showed a link between exposure to RF radiation and cancer.

In the next few years cellphone companies, manufacturers and distributors, backed up by paid science will try to buy more time on the expense of our health. They will argue that "cell phones today emit less RF radiation that they used to, and that new generations of cell phones will emit even less". They will try to discredit the science that shows the link between RF radiation and cancer, and will try to prove otherwise. They will do anything in their power to stop new laws and regulations that could protect the public and will then say that they act within laws and regulation. They will try to buy their way into committees and decision making boards and will try to influence the future, all so they can make an extra dollar before the public will understand the truth. We must do our best to show the truth and to prevent this from happening.

The WHO's old view from the WHO RF fact sheet: " To date, the only health effect from RF fields identified in scientific reviews has been related to an increase in body temperature (> 1 °C) from exposure at very high field intensity found only in certain industrial facilities, such as RF heaters. The levels of RF exposure from base stations and wireless networks are so low that the temperature increases are insignificant and do not affect human health."(http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs304/en/).

Green cellphone antenna - good or bad?

http://www.greenairwireless.com/technology.html

I think that some radiation is still being emitted from the mobile phone, and since I think there is no safe level of EMR radiation than this is still bad.
In addition this kind of solutions can, at the end, encourage people to use their mobile phones, and by that will eventually increase the EMR levels that the public is exposed to both from the antenna and the mobile phone.
There is no magic solution for this issue. I guess that this green antenna can be part of a wider solution that will lower the radiation levels that the public is exposed to both from the mobile phone and from the antennas.
The first step is to admit that we have a problem, then try to reduce the usage, then try to create a safer solution.

The truth about the interphone study

The interphone study final result ware published today (17/05/2010), after 5 years of delay. a first look suggests that using a mobile phone actually protect you from brain cancer, how could that be? a second look shows that people who use their mobile phone for more then 27 minutes per day have 40%higher risk of getting a brain tumor.

EMR from blackberry while sending a ping

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_wcUzhkeaE


This video will show you how a ping looks like, how long the smart phone broadcast this signal and how much time will pass between one ping to the next. In this video you will see that the blackberry smart phone pings the nearest antenna every minutes, and the communication takes more than 10 seconds!

Each cell phone sends a communication signal, "Ping", to the nearest antenna every few minutes. Every smart phone emits RF (electromagnetic) radiation when sending or receiving an email.

Manny people use a smart phone as a working tool, they carry it with them all day long and use it to send and receive lots of emails and SMS.

When you carry your mobile phone with you all the day you are exposed to this RF Ping signal. When it is a smart phone and you use it to receive and send emails you are exposed to even more electromagnetic radiation.

Radiaiton in cars

The radiation issues in hybrid cars are turning to be a real thing. Reports from around the world about measurements of high radiation levels are coming out.

All "regular" cars radiate from low frequency electromagnetic sources like the alternator, car's electric system, and the layers. In hybrid and electric cars you have to add also the electric motors, the electric batteries, and the power conductor from the batteries to the motors.

In some of the cars there are also some high frequency radiation sources like the car's Bluetooth system, car tracking systems, the wireless key, Wi-Fi and mobile communication systems, and of course the passengers and driver mobile phones.

Using your mobile phone inside your car ( a close metallic object), other than taking the driver's mind off the road, results with you espousing yourself to high levels of radiation.

Below is a like to an article that summaries measurements of several cars, both hybrid and "regular". The article is in French but you can get some of the info from the pictures or you can translate it.

Victims of electrosensitivity syndrome say EMFs cause symptoms - latimes.com

Victims of electrosensitivity syndrome say EMFs cause symptoms - latimes.com

EHS is becoming more spread and more common. Millions of people all over the world are already EHS and many more will become EHS as wireless communication use and abuse will spread, in the next few years. However some people still think EHS is a mental and not a physical disorder, This is really a shame and I think that such proclaims are based on people difficulty to believe something that they can't grasp or logically explain. As a EHS person I can assure you that EHS is a real physical disorder. I myself have several bind tests every day when I start to feel bad and then finding out that people across my office wall have been using their cell phones for the past few minutes.

New clip - radiation from a mobile phone and a wired earpiece.

In this movie clip I tried to answer the following question "is it true that when using a wired earpiece some of the mobile phones radiation is carried on the wire to the user head?"

In order to answer this question I did 2 measurements of the electromagnetic radiation 100 cm away from the phone, first with a wired earpiece and the second with using the speaker phone option of the phone.

In both measurements the mobile phone was places 100 cm away from the EMR meter. 100 cm is the max possible distance that a use can keep from the mobile phone when using a wired earpiece, because the length of the cable. The measurement does not represent the amount of radiation a "normal" user will be exposed to since most people hold the mobile phone in their hand or on their body while using the wired earpiece or the speaker phone option. A "safe user" should try to keep the mobile phone as far as possible from his body when using it.

The measurements show that when using the wired earpiece the user is exposed to more radiation when using the speaker phone option when the phone is 100 cm away from the head/meter. In both cases the radiation levels are a lot lower than when putting the mobile phone next to the users head. The measurement shows that some of the radiation emitted by the mobile phone is transferred over the earpiece wire to the user head.

Mobile phone masts cause cancer in spain

Where ever you look you mobile phone masts and people who live nearby! This article brings the story of people who live, work and study near mobile phone masts (written in several languages).

What would you do if you would get out one day and see a new mobile phone mast just next to your house, workplace, school? What would you do it people will start getting ill? Would you move? Would you change your work or get you children out of school? Would you protest?
