Poor classroom acoustics negatively affect learning: "The sources of classroom noise can be interior noise (such as Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning - HVAC) and interior equipment such as the fans in overhead projectors and computers. Walls, ceilings and floors not properly insulated can also contribute to noise. Noise sources can also come from exterior sources such as aircraft and highway traffic. Whether the noise source is interior or exterior, student's learning suffers."

The cell phone is a useful device; it keeps us connected to friends and family. But these devices can also be distracting. So, the next time you are crossing the street, put your phone conversation on hold until you get to the other side."

"If your child is in a school band, discuss the volume with the music teacher and encourage your child to wear hearing protection. Pay attention to the warning signs of a noise-induced hearing loss (ringing in the ears, speech sounding muffled) and if you have any questions about your child's hearing, discuss it with your pediatrician or licensed audiologist. Remember, that noise-induced hearing loss, though permanent, is preventable. Take steps to preserve your child's hearing today." |

How could manufacturers improve their cell phone products?: "For emissions from wireless devices (cell phones, personal digital assistant or PDA devices, etc.) there is enough evidence for increased risk of brain tumors and acoustic neuromas now to warrant intervention with respect to their use. Redesign of cell phones and PDAs could prevent direct head and eye exposure, for example, by designing new units so that they work only with a wired headset or on speakerphone mode."

The Special case of Broadcast Tower Epidemiological Studies: "For residential studies around broadcast Radio and TV towers the cause and effect relationships can be much more decisive because of the complex nature of the radiation patterns. For example, broadcast antennae usually focus the signal more in one direction than another, towards the major population centres. A cancer rate that is higher on the high emission side than the low emission side is a first indication of a dose-response." * Dr. Neil Cherry's ICNIRP Guideline Critique.

Importance of Hearing Protection: "Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and temporary hearing loss can occur from a single concert, sporting event or sudden loud noise like a firecracker. In rare cases, permanent hearing loss results from such auditory insults. Even if a temporary hearing loss recovers over a period of hours to days, there is a risk that repeated exposure to loud noise will result in permanent hearing loss."

Human
microwave bioeffects as compared to symtoms of schizophrenia.
"The substantiation for microwave voice transmission development, which can be isolated to an individual, prompts review of the correlation between microwave bioeffects and schizophrenia. These correlations are extensive. Studies of both conditions report short-term and spatial memory deficit, time estimation changes, deficits in sequencing, coordination deficit, numerous electrophysiologic changes, startle decrease, neurotransmitter changes, hormone alterations, immune alterations, mitochondria deficits, lipid phosphorylation decrease, lipid peroxidation, deleterious histologic change in disease reduced brain areas, activation of hallucination involved brain areas, and ocular disease. Schizophrenia findings correlate with microwave bioeffects so extensively as to indicate a congruence, and appear to implicate a microwave involvement with enough patients to be remarkable in study results." * McMurtrey, John J. "Microwave Bioeffects Congruence with Schizophrenia." Copyright 2002, 10 Apr. 2005. Source accessed 2/15/2006 http://www.notafreemason.com/images/MicrowaveCongruenceSchiz.doc |

Human Sleep effected by Radio Frequency/Microwave Radiation: Drs. Mann and Röschke investigated the influence of pulsed high-frequency RF/MW radiation of digital mobile radio telephones on sleep in healthy humans. They found a hypnotic effect with shortening of sleep onset latency and a REM (Rapid Eye Movement) suppressive effect with reduction of duration and percentage of REM sleep. "REM sleep plays a special physiological role for information processing in the brain, especially concerning consolidation of new experiences. Thus the effects observed possibly could be associated with alterations of memory and learning functions." K. Mann and J. Röschke, "Effects of Pulsed High-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on Human Sleep," Neuropsychobiology 33, no.1 (1996): pp. 41-47. |

Base station antennas located on
rooftops of schools, churches, tall buildings, hotels, etc.:
"In nearly all circumstances, public exposure to RF fields near wireless base stations is far below recommended safety limits. In unusual cases, typically with base station antennas located on rooftops, personnel might be exposed to RF fields above recommended limits depending on operating power levels and accessibility to antennas. In such cases, access to areas where exposures might be above safety guidelines should be restricted." * "Safety Issues Associated With Base Stations Used for Personal Wireless Communications."

Use your cell phone with discretion in public areas. "... recent research has demonstrated that even short-term exposure to radiation power densities emanating from a nearby cellular telephone is sufficient to modify brainwave patterns, affect short-term memory, and modify an individual's ability to perform physical tasks such as driving an automobile. These effects are all well and good for those who are willing to accept the risk of modified brain functions and cancer but they are not well and good for the innocent victim of the insidious radiation - radiation that an innocent non-participant cannot even be aware is being deposited into his or her body."
