The industry was obviously aware that Dr. Carlo was a
threat; since his findings, he has been threatened,
physically attacked, defamed and his house mysteriously
burned down. By 1998, his group’s research showed that the
nearfield electromagnetic plume of seven or eight inches
around the antenna of the cell phone caused leakage in the
blood brain barrier, as well as rare neural-epithelial
cancers and double to triple the risk of benign and
malignant brain tumours.
Then there’s the story of Milt Bowling, Canada’s most
outspoken mobile phone critic and head of the
Electromagnetic Radiation Task Force (ERTFC). In the ‘90s,
Bowling was catapulted into an all-consuming battle with the
industry when it attempted to erect a cell tower on the roof
of his son’s school. It became outrageous when one company
implanted a mobile phone transmitter inside a church cross
and donated it to the church across from the school.
Bowling’s story appeared on the Fifth Estate in 1997 and
made waves around the world. His chief concern now is that
our safety regulations are ridiculously outdated, only
requiring limits for radiation high enough to heat body
tissue by one degree celsius within six minutes. He says
this is like saying “if it doesn’t cook you, there’s no
problem.” Clearly, science shows problems prior to the
tissue heating.
Given the threat of public opposition roused by activists
such as Dr. Carlo, and Bowling here in Vancouver, why don’t
our governments establish more restrictions? Vested
interests are a huge problem. Governments know they can only
charge a tiny fee for licensing alternatives, such as fibre-optics,
whereas they can charge a fortune for wireless bandwiths,
totalling several billion dollars in the US. So governments
have taken the path-most-paying. As an example, to pay for
initial, expensive, wireless infrastructure (towers),
industry made agreements with regulators (e.g. the Federal
Communications Commission, or FCC in the US) that the big
companies could pay 10 percent down and leave the cell phone
users to pay off the remainder. This may be the reason for
the aggressive marketing of mobile phone plans to teens;
there’s a big debt to pay off.
The industry’s need to cover-up the hazards of wireless
technology has been fuelled not only by fear of lost
profits, but also by fear of bankruptcy. Insurance companies
gradually withdrew all coverage for claims relating to
health problems from cell phones following the first studies
showing they were dangerous. Today, there are seven pending
class action suits against the mobile phone industry; one
successful lawsuit alone could bankrupt a company by setting
a precedent for other pending lawsuits. It took just one
such lawsuit each to bring down the silicone breast implant
and asbestos industries.
A more frightening side of all of this is that the
cell/wireless industries represent such an enormous portion
of the stock market. If they caved in suddenly, the ripples
could be catastrophic. We all need to be sensible. Expose
the truth, plan for changes and move swiftly and
intelligently towards a better, less wireless world.
This article was inspired by a recent talk by Dr. George
Carlo, a scientist and cell phone industry whistleblower.

Carlo’s work. His visit to Vancouver was sponsored by the
