November News

Calls for a smartphone free childhood, and no mobiles in UK schools, has been quite a theme this year. The campaigns focus on mental health and addiction of course, but provide a fair wind for gradually raising awareness of the radiation dangers as well. Under ‘Health and Research’ below we have new articles on the topic of smartphones and children.

From Tim Arnolds substack: “A Parent Pact has gathered signatures representing 72,697 children across over 9,602 schools who advocate for smartphone-free schooling. Spearheaded by the Smartphone-Free Childhood movement and based on the original pact by Hannah Oertel’s Delay Smartphones group, this initiative is a testament to where our digital norms are heading.

Data Centers in Ireland Overtake All Urban Electricity Use Combined

As the market demand for this new ‘fast and effective’ communication technology is expected to expand exponentially in the near future, we face a very realistic question: “Where are we going to generate all of this energy simply to transport and store data?” 5G and the fast connectivity technologies are promoted as more efficient and energy saving. But how environmentally friendly will this be with exponentially increasing and widespread use?

Stephen Fry, Chrissie Hynde and Sophie Winkleman sign letter protesting 5G advertising on the Tube. The message, which is spearheaded by musician and Save Soho founder Tim Arnold, warns of the “potential dangers” of this advertisement. “As parents and health professionals campaign worldwide to protect their children from the numerous harms associated with smartphone apps, your administration is normalising the pervasive technology they’re fighting against,” it says.

Hypothesis on how to measure electromagnetic hypersensitivity


As a thought experiment: if you could buy a house next to a new 4G/5G mast or on a site with no mast nearby, which would you choose ?

Typically people take the precautionary approach …

Occasionally someone with skin in the economic ‘imperative’ of a ‘smart society’ will choose the one with a mast, maybe to make a point ;))

Smart City Bath

The ONE WORD project, led by Telet, will provide the City of Bath with a new 5G network utilising around 24 small cells deployed in the central area. The project will build new Open RAN systems integration and will focus on testing how the network copes with “High Demand and Dense” environments.

5G ? You’re having a Bath

On November 13th, the 5G pilot ONE WORD will demonstrate how 5G SA small cells can provide high capacity without being an environmental eyesore.

A rally was held on July 7th to protest the lack of consultation and transparency over this trial. BATHNES are denying our right to be consulted and protected from untested exposures.

October 2024: we have had a second refusal to issue the ISO non compliance report, so we have gone back again and asked for contracts and reminded them of ‘principles’ in an agreement between DSIT and all members of the consortium including BATH NES. There are five principles we assume they have accepted formally which they have to comply with which re-enforces the importance of the NCR and the evidence. 

So in a corner they are, let them try and wriggle this time!

This critique paper thoroughly debunks the claims made in the paper used by the government and Telecoms to support their claim that 5G is safe:

Michael Bevington reported on 5G adverse health effects ‘in situ’ studiesin 2023: 

Health Concerns of 5G and Setting Suitable Restrictions, he concludes :

‘5G, like some other technologies, was deployed ahead of actual health studies. Health evidence, including six case reports of 2023, now shows that 0.06 μW/m2 (0.005 V/m) is a suitable interim non-thermal restriction and needs to be set by public regulators.’


Here are three webinar recordings of lectures presented at the  Royal Society of Medicine in London last summer.

https://icbe-emf.org/activities/webinar-june-14-2023/

We recommend all recommend all three recordings on the page.  

In webinar 1 David Gee gives a very useful context of the history of environmental toxinson text of the history of environmental toxins & Dr Erica Mallery Blythe  logically and clearly presents scientific argument and medical evidence as to why the ICNIRP guidelines are not protective. 

In webinar 2 Dr Kent Chamberlain demonstrates why at least a 500m setback from masts is justified by current science.

In webinar 3  Professor Lin, who is an  ex-ICNIRP member, shares his reasoning why ICNIRP guidelines cannot be relied upon to protect public health, especially of children.


This ICBE paper is a detailed paper on the state of the science and ICNIRP’s false assumptions about safety.

This milestone is important in regard to the recognition of EHS :

They won in the Upper Tribunal, thus the ruling is also precedent setting. We believe this is the first case in the world where a government body is legally mandated to make low-EMF educational provisions to accommodate a child with EHS.
