Health canada wifi radiation

A handful of countries have already updated their guidelines for exposure to wireless radiation, including Russia, China, Italy and Switzerland. For its update, Health Canada has ignored more than studies that demonstrate that wireless devices can cause harm even at very low levels, Clegg said.

These include links between radiation exposure and cancer, genetic damage, infertility, developmental impairment and cardiovascular health. More than 20 physicians have put their names on the declaration to Health Canada that makes three requests. That the federal agency:. The period of public comment follows the release last April of a report by an expert panel into the adequacy of the Safety Code 6 guidelines.

The eight-member Royal Society of Canada panel was tasked by Health Canada will be reviewing the guidelines and recommending any necessary changes based on the latest research.

However, the panel did say that Health Canada should look more closely at research into whether radiofrequency waves from wireless devices such as smartphones are linked to cancer. Clegg and the group of physicians say they are also concerned about a condition called electromagnetic hypersensitivity EMS , which is caused by exposure to radio waves. Symptoms range from severe headaches and nausea to heart palpitations, and are only alleviated when they stay away from radiation-emitting devices.

Sharon Deoux of Gatineau, Que. Health Canada's proposed update to its safety code for wireless radiation exposure ignores current research and 'fails to protect Canadians from their own cellphones,' say experts.

It is designed to provide greater capacity for wireless networks, to deliver extremely fast data speeds and much lower latencies network delays than previous generations. From autonomous vehicles to smart cities and fibre-over-the-air, 5G is purported to be at the heart of the future of communications.

In Canada, initial pre-commercial deployments have already begun. The first wave of commercial products is expected to be available in Canada in or Canadian carriers are waiting for frequencies above 6 GHz to become available.

This new 5G infrastructure will be in addition to the current set of cell towers and antennae installed across Canada. Any lamp post or hydro pole is a candidate to host a small 5G cell antenna. Millimeter waves are utilized by the U. Army in crowd dispersal guns called Active Denial Systems [1]. Sweat ducts may act as antennae that can cause point heating and pain [2].

Much sound scientific evidence now points to harm from non-thermal effects at well below these limits. There has been no safety testing on long term exposures to radiation from 5G technologies. We know that no such studies are being planned in the USA [3] and are not aware of any planned for Canada. Despite this disturbing realization, I'm somewhat heartened to hear that Health Canada ' conducts ongoing consultations with Canadians to determine how to best meet their long-term health care needs ' and I'd like to book a consultation, ASAP.

We can start off by me further explaining the term protection , so that they understand the need to turn off WiFi and cell phones during our chat about how they can best meet my healthcare needs.

But I'm still skeptical. While I've always found Canadians to be sincere, open and genuinely caring, Health Canada officials don't seem to embody any of these qualities and I just can't figure out where they're coming from. So I'm going to have to ask them some very specific questions, the most important of which is this:. Olga Sheean is an author, editor, disruptive thinker, therapist and mastery coach specializing in human dynamics, creative potential and conscious evolution.

She has documented the bio-effects of wireless radiation, exposing the widespread corruption within the industry, WHO and governments, and writes widely on the drivers of human dysfunction and how to reclaim our autonomy.

Yet it has: failed to inform the public of the harm being caused by wireless radiation; knowingly exposed all Canadians to this proven harm; sanctioned the roll-out and unlimited scale-up of wireless systems and cell towers; taken zero measures to protect us from these known risks; prevented us from protecting ourselves from these risks; prevented us from protecting ourselves from them —our supposed protectors.
