Clear Sound, Sleek Styling, and Microwave Radiation | California Magazine

Clear Sound, Sleek Styling, and Microwave Radiation | California Magazine : Announced on September 7 along with the iPhone 7, the AirPods will be available starting in late October for $159. They will work with iPhones and iPads running iOS 10 and above, the Apple Watch, and Macs running the latest operating�system. In response to Moskowitz’s concerns, Apple spokesperson Alex Kirschner said in an email: “Apple products are always designed and tested to meet or exceed all safety�requirements.” The AirPods’ specific absorption rate (SAR), which measures how much radiation is absorbed by the body, is 0.466 watts per kilogram, well below the U.S. legal limit of 1.60 w/kg set by the Federal Communications Commission. It’s also below the 1.58 w/kg you would get from holding the iPhone 7 itself against your head or�body. Jerry Phillips, a biochemistry professor at the University of Colorado who has studied health effects of radiation frequencies similar to Bluetooth, says that standard

Radiation from wireless technology affects the blood, the heart, and the autonomic nervous system1

Abstract:  Exposure to electrosmog generated by electric, electronic, and wireless technology is accelerating to the point that a portion of the population is experienc- ing adverse reactions when they are exposed. The symp- toms of electrohypersensitivity (EHS), best described as rapid aging syndrome, experienced by adults and chil- dren resemble symptoms experienced by radar opera- tors in the 1940s to the 1960s and are well described in the literature. An increasingly common response includes clumping (rouleau formation) of the red blood cells, heart palpitations, pain or pressure in the chest accompanied by anxiety, and an upregulation of the sympathetic nerv- ous system coincident with a downregulation of the parasympathetic nervous system typical of the “fight-or- flight” response. Provocation studies presented in this article demonstrate that the response to electrosmog is physiologic and not psychosomatic. Those who experi- ence prolonged and severe EHS may develop psychologic

Yesterday: All Americans Were Downwinders Today: All Americans are Downwavers

When 1200 nuclear downwinders brought suit against the federal government for heinous cancers and birth defects (1982), a panel of US judges ruled in 1987 that the Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946 gives government officials broad discretionary powers to carry out vital federal programs whether or not they cause injuries. The US Supreme Court then refused to hear an appeal. [6] � � �♦ This is the game the feds will play when Americans --made mortally ill from cellular antennas and digital devices manufactured after 1996-- take their claims to court for restitution.������ Recent rulings demonstrate that the preemptive Telecommunications Act of 1996 will be used --like the Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946-- to "shove it to" wireless microwave victims, past, present and future. [7] � � � � ��� Directing America's early nuclear war against itself was the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), a civilian agency created by the US Congress in 1946 to oversee the "peaceti

Radiofrequency radiation at Stockholm Central Railway Station in Sweden and some medical aspects on public exposure to RF fields

http://www.stopsmartmetersbc.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Hardell-RFR-Stockholm-Central-Railway-Station-some-medical-aspects-on-public-exposure-July2716.pdf Abstract.  The Stockholm Central Railway Station in Sweden was investigated for public radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure. The exposimeter EME Spy 200 was used to collect the RF exposure data across the railway station. The expo- simeter covers 20 different radiofrequency bands from 88 to 5,850 MHz. In total 1,669 data points were recorded. The median value for total exposure was 921 μW/m 2  (or 0.092 μW/cm 2 ; 1 μW/m 2 =0.0001 μW/cm 2 ) with some outliers over 95,544 μW/m 2  (6 V/m, upper detection limit). The mean total RF radiation level varied between 2,817 to 4,891 μW/m 2  for each walking round. High mean measurements were obtained for GSM + UMTS 900 downlink varying between 1,165 and 2,075 μW/m 2 . High levels were also obtained for UMTS 2100 downlink; 442 to 1,632 μW/m 2 . Also LTE 800 downlink, GSM 1800 downlink, a

wireless technologies DE-CONSTRUCT the human body

��� The radiation from cell towers is potentially more dangerous than cell phones themselves because they run continuously day and night and have been shown to have many unpleasant effects on people living near them. These appear to be due to an attenuation of their normal circadian rhythms, leading to tiredness during the day, poor sleep at night and a weaker immune system. The immune system is linked closely to these rhythms, and any reduction in their efficacy will increase the risk of general ill health. Furthermore, the immune system also gets rid of incipient cancer cells so, if compromised by radiation, it will increase the risk of getting cancer, something that is already being reported in people living near cell towers.

Antenna Sickness Is Everywhere Now

Educator Camilla Rees, MBA, discussing her project to measure ambient microwave radiation for clients in New York City, 2016: "I went to measure the apartment on the first floor there and the man had throat cancer and as I got towards the corner bedroom, the levels [of audible radiation] kept getting higher and higher....We found out it was coming from outside and it was one block diagonally across the street with an antenna farm on a five-story group of buildings that was beaming directly into this area. And it dawned on all of us what this man was dealing with. And they told me that [of] eight out of the nine apartments, in the corner bedrooms they had cancer and the ninth one had three miscarriages." [1] � Bio-Initiative Report 2012 (2014): "Bioeffects are clearly established and occur at very low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation. Bioeffects can occur in the first few minutes at levels associated with cell and cordless phone

AirPods - How did Apple do it? | Cambridge Consultants

AirPods - How did Apple do it? | Cambridge Consultants : The easiest way to get the audio to your second AirPod is to use Bluetooth forwarding. This is a tried and tested approach between two Bluetooth devices. It requires no extra hardware, no additional stack or software support for a new protocol. However, Bluetooth cannot pass through the head, and Bluetooth waves cannot be made to go around the head. This does not mean that this approach doesn’t work. In fact for indoor radio use, radio waves reflect off objects, walls and ceilings, creating a path for Bluetooth to travel from one AirPod to the other. Performance outdoors is a different matter. To put it mildly, performance may vary, and is likely to be extremely poor in the middle of a large grassy lawn for example. A second very popular approach is to use Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI), an approach similar to induction loops for hearing aids. This approach works in all environments, as it uses magnetic signals that go th

The Not-So-Silver Lining of Your Anti-Microbial Outdoor Apparel | Outside Online

The Not-So-Silver Lining of Your Anti-Microbial Outdoor Apparel | Outside Online : "You expose silver nanoparticles to one generation and it shows up in the next generation," says Martin Mulvihill, the executive director of U.C. Berkeley's Center for Green Chemistry and the author of a recent article about the study published in Environmental Health News. "It crosses the barrier between generations, and that is of the greatest concern. The Duke study shows silver nanoparticles persisted in the environment and underwent changes that might make it dangerous [to plants and animals]," he says. Just what nanoparticle silver means for the long-term health of individual organisms or for ecosystems as a whole is not yet known, however, because silver in nanoparticle form may behave differently in nature than other forms of silver that have been studied for a longer time. Meanwhile, manufacturers continue to market clothings, socks and shoes that are coated in the stuf
