December/January News

Another school, Downe House girls school in Berkshire, has restricted the use of smart phones. Whilst this is a hot topic it is a good opportunity to raise the parallel issues of cumulative radiation from devices day and night. Eton College agreed to switch off the WiFi during the night since 2021. It CAN be done!

Apple AirPod 3 – are these safe to use for long periods of time ? See blog below.

Update on UK legal challenges

Bath Smart City proposal.

BANES CEO Will Godfrey has exposed his contradictory position and is attempting to close down communication. He acknowledged BANES is an EECC Competent Authority for the purposes of regulating small cell deployment, and that BANES will own all the equipment funded by the £770,000 5G trial paid for by taxpayers and draw income from its operation.

In effect that makes them Telecom operators, but he is failing to accept any responsibility for risk assessment.  BANES have not signed the participation agreement issued to them. Neil and Karen will now report BANES failure to DSIT with the possibility in reserve of referring to the Magistrates Court.

EECC and objectors rights: Judicial Review, London. Karen Churchill and Neil McDougall

We are seeking permission to take the case to the Supreme Court after the appeal to re-open was returned to Judge Falk at the Court of Appeal for the second time.

Judge Falk is conflating procedural and substantive issues and has gone beyond assessing the lawfulness of Judge Jarman’s ruling by re-construing Judge Jarman’s preclusion argument, which is a clear breach of Court Procedure Rules.

AirPods: Are Apple’s New Wireless Earbuds Safe?

The third generation of Apple’s AirPods (aka AirPods 3) was introduced in 2021 and emit Bluetooth microwave or radiofrequency radiation (RFR) in the 2.402 – 2.480 GHz frequency range to communicate with a smart phone or other wireless device.

In the 1980s of course there were concerns about over-ear Sony Walkman headphones, and then about the ‘In ear’ headphones. With some justification the latter, when loud volume with no attenuation by distance or air was a predominant feature – and yes there were harms. These were acoustic mechanical waves however, with very different qualities to pulse modulated electromagnetic radiation.

AirPods have a SAR (specific absorption of radiation by tissue) rating of 0.626 W/kg, the ‘safe’ limit for phones is 2 W/kg.  Remember that this is only an assessment of thermal effects, the ability to heat up tissue.  It is the biological effects at non thermal levels of radiation that are of concern. 

The microwave field strength measured next to the ear with an Airpod functioning can reach 15 V/m. This unit V/m is another that measures ‘power’.  An iPhone in a pocket typically pulses 15 to 30 V/m.

The UK ‘safe’ thermal exposure limit is 60 V/m (averaged over 6mins), but these guidelines set by the ICNIRP are incomplete and have been found untenable in court.  Organisations that advocate for safer non thermal limits advocate down to 1-2 V/m as possibly safe.

Note that whereas phones may be in use for 20-40mins at a time, an Airpod is often kept in the ears for hours at a time, and so the cumulative exposure is substantial.

A further serious concern is raised by these levels since the ICNIRP defined Auditory limit is 4.34 V/m averaged over 6 minutes. The mechanism cited is thermoplastic expansion, but we also know that there can be other non thermal effects. Known symptoms can be tinnitus.

Cases of tinnitus have been on a dramatic rise since CV19 and the mRNA injections. It is always hard separating co-factors but there is a real risk that chronic use of AirPods pulsing at nearly 4X the auditory limit could be laying foundations for future problems.

There are 100s of credible studies that show that biological systems suffer from adaptive stress when exposed to chronic levels of RFR, therefore should we not consider that transmitting and receiving pulsed microwave signals inside the ears, either side of the brain, is probably not at all sensible ?

Whilst long term effects and actual mechanisms are being studied we would suggest that a Precautionary Approach to the use of Airpods would be sensible – i.e  use for short periods and never go to sleep with them in. Turn all devices onto Airplane/Off at night.
