To Ms. Bonnie Hicks,
With respect to the pain in your ears, you may be interested in
reading the EPA report that,
"Pulsed RF radiation can be perceived ('heard') by some people. The
perception of sound associated with 'RF hearing' varies with pulse width
and pulse-repetition rate and is described as a click, buzz, chirp.
Because this effect is a function of instantaneous peak energy
deposition and pulse width, average whole-body SAR's are not useful
parameters. Although the effects of RF hearing on health are not now
known, the experience may be annoying and stressful."
[Federal Register, Vol. 51, No. 146, Wed. July 30, 1986, EPA:
Federeal Radiation Protection Guidance: Proposed Alternatives for
Controlling Public Exposure to Radiofrequency Radiation; Notice of
Proposed Recommendations, pp-27317-27339, quotation from page 27327]
Also, there are additional reports from EPA and others that with the
advent of digital wireless telecommunications there is a dramatic
increase in people reporting the pain you feel. Please let me know if
you would like me to fax these to you.
FCC RF/microwave radiation limit guidelines are not intended to prevent
the pain you feel. Such pain can occur when radiation levels are well
within FCC RF exposure limit guidelines.
[........We probably should not dignify the notion that the FCC has ANY
regulation in effect..... The "guidelines" they use have nothing **whatsoever**
to do with health effects.....!!! The FCC "guidelines" exist to minimize
"electronic" interference between other RF and MW transmitting and receiving
stations..... They have NOTHING to do with PEOPLE..... More aburd than that,
though, is the fact that THEY DON"T EVEN MONITOR their own regulatory limits....
Ask the folks at LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN about that???.......guru.......]
I am not well versed on what you can do to prevent or mitigate your
pain. I don't know if moving is an option for you. Also with this
radiation becoming ubiqutous there may be 'no place to hide.'
You may wish to contact the Cellular Phone Taskforce whose concerns are
focused on persons, like yourself, who are particularly sensitive to
radio frequency (RF) and microwave radiation. There phone # is:
718-434-4499, addressL P.O. Box 100404,Brooklyn, NY, 11210.
Also, there are things you may do to mitigate the strength of the signal
in your home, or at least in the room where you sleep. Basically,
anything that absorbs RF energy can help mitigate the effects. Some
people have suggested planting heavy vegetation that has high water
content. There are companies that can install materials on or in the
walls of your home that may mitigate effects. One company like this
that I am aware of - but do not have any information upon which I can
make a recommendation or not, is:
TECKNIT Shielding Systems, 838 Main Avenue, Passaic, NJ 07055.
Tel: 201-778-6200, Fax: (201) 778-2177. There are different
systems they can suggest including special electrically conductive
paints to expensive shielding systems. While I received a brochure from
this company I know nothing more about it, so do not take this
information in any way as a recommendation. Also, I suggest you check
with your local public library reference desk or other sources to learn
of other companies providing a similar service.
Also, it is possible that some type of protective head covering,
such as something that would appear like a bicycle riding helmet could
protect your head. There is strong evidence that the pain you feel is
due to the rapid thermoelastic expansion of your brain when it absorbs
the pulsed RF signals. By wearing some kind of helmet with RF
insulating or reflective materials, it is possible you can get some
relief, at least in the short term, while you are seeking long term
solutions. Perhaps TECKNIT may have some suggestions. Also, some
'hi-tech' computer mail-order companies or stores may offer such 'hats'.
You might also contact the National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH). Dr. Greg Lotz of NIOSH may have some suggestions about
head or other protection to prevent or mitigate the pain you feel. The
phone # I have for him is 513-533-8153, fax: 513-533-8139 or 5338510, at
NIOSH Division of Biomedical and Behavioral Science, Physical Effects
Branch, 4676 Columbia Parkway, Cincinnati Ohio
45226.
I hope the above is helpful.
Yours,
David Fichtenberg, President, Ad-Hoc Assoiation.
