It is however \u201ccommon secret\u201d between the researchers in the field of electromagnetic biology that such a statement has absolutely no scientific validity for the following reasons.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Life on the planet earth has evolved in the      absence of such non-ionizing radiation and accumulating evidence suggests      that no defence mechanisms have been evolved. Therefore there is no      reference point for \u201csafely limits\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>All other devices mentioned in the report (mobile      phones, microwave ovens, etc.) can be deliberately used at a safe      situation (i.e. hands free utilization for mobile phone, keep safe      distances from the microwave oven or the Wi-Fi when in use).<\/li>\n<li>Even if other wireless devices emit radiation      in the same area, this does not mean that more can be installed with less      radiation emission simply because there is strong evidence: a) for no      threshold health limit, b) for cumulative health effects.<\/li>\n<li>It is not true (as mentioned in the report)      that there is no evidence for mechanism on non-thermal. ROS formation is      more and more shown to be a key first response cascading all rest effects      (DNA damage, tumour formation, memory deficits, fatigue, sleep disorders,      etc.).<\/li>\n<li>The argument that &#8220;more and more      wireless devices will be used in daily life&#8221; is not and cannot be      taken as obligatory. Who can support that the constitution, any constitution      of any country should allow installations to take place (as the one with      Smart Meters) against the rights for health of the citizens.<\/li>\n<li>The safety guidelines by ICNIRP are 12      years old, this by itself, after an enormous accumulation of research data      implies that the threshold limits should have been updated, and they have      not. In fact NO GUIDELINES FOR CONSTANT EXPOSURE HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED SO      FAR.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>SOLUTION? <\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There may be a solution by optical fibers which are all over the place utilized in communication, so why not use them in this application as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yours sincerely,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lukas H.
