.........I cannot believe that the land which John Godsmith loved so ...
has so little awareness of his - work which raises serious questions about
the "internationally" established exposure limits.....  Surely there is
someone in Israel who knows "what is going on" with regard to the
latest research on EMF risks.....???  Please ... Israel ... turn to
the guru's website......!!

                Itzik: Usfiya cellphone antennas passed
                radiation test
                By Liat Collins

                (March 16) - Environment Ministry tests for radiation on
                cellphone transmitting antennas in Usfiya have not shown
                any deviation from the permitted international standard,
                according to Minister Dalia Itzik.

                However, Itzik said she would convene on Sunday the
                special ministerial committee which deals with the
                cellphone antennas and invite the Usfiya mayor to discuss
                events there.

                On Tuesday, 18 people were injured, including 10 police
                officers, when local residents rioted over the number of
                cellphone antennas in their town, which they claim are
                leading to increasing numbers of cancer cases.

                The Health Ministry is responsible for examining the
                possibility of increased sickness, but the Environment
                Ministry is responsible for setting the acceptable radiation
                levels.

                Itzik said yesterday that there is a ruling that no cellphone
                transmitters should be erected without a building permit
                and these permits are not granted if the transmitters are
                not safe.

                "If there are antennas which have been put up without
                building permits, it is the mayor's job to ensure they are
                taken down," Itzik said.

                She also said that people "have to realize there is no such
                things as mobile phones without transmitting antennas."

                Comprehensive tests were carried out by the ministry's
                radiation unit at 1,000 sites in Usfiya last August in the
                presence of local council representatives. There were no
                deviations above the permitted international standard set
                by the World Health Organization (400 microwatt per
                square centimeter). In most cases the measured radiation
                was within 1 percent of the maximum limit allowed. In six
                cases, the measured radiation came within 2%-3% of the
                permissible standard.

                Ministry officials yesterday noted that in addition to
                cellphone transmitting antennas, there are large number of
                pirate antennas in Usfiya as well and antennas erected by
                the IDF and police. The tests were carried out on the
                pirate antennas too.

                Usfiya's high position on Mount Carmel has made it an
                attractive spot for siting antennas.
