"There is 10 million times the background radiation in San Diego compared to 1970," he said. "It is caused by technology such as cell towers and high-powered transformer lines; military telecommunications; Doppler radar and sonograms shot into earthquake faults. It is also generated by wi-fi communications for computers and games, SDG&E smart meters and transformers on poles and on the ground of local neighborhoods (camouflaged) as green boxes."

East Bay Express (2010). Are SmartMeters Dangerous, Too?
"Independent environmental and electromagnetic-fields consultants, for example, have found that SmartMeters pulse far more often that PG&E claims. In addition, there's evidence to suggest that the peak pulses are far greater in intensity than the "average pulse" PG&E owns up to, thereby raising questions about safety, particularly in children, whose bodies absorb radiation at a far greater rate than adults. In dense urban areas, residents also have raised concerns about banks, or clusters of upwards of thirty meters on some apartment buildings."

"Although there was a gap in the research on children, Mr Trower said it was known that they were more vulnerable to microwaves by virtue of their size: "Being the size of their wavelength, they can act like aerials, vibrating inside and undergoing some sort of stress."
Having less dense bones, the microwaves penetrated them easier and they did not have a fully developed immune system to fend them off, he said."

Being well informed on the subject, this protocol was news to me so I wrote Dr. Deventer asking for a copy of the mentioned WHO base station study protocol. I received no reply. I sent numerous follow-up e-mails to Dr. Deventer asking for the WHO base station study protocol. No reply."

The second set of blood samples were taken in May 2007, 5 months after the transmitter commenced normal operation. --- Especially alarming is the fact, that 84 % of participants, almost the whole group, reacted with a massive decrease in the serotonin level (average 46%) following increased exposure from the operation of the newly erected telecommunications mast. Alarming is also the fairly steep nightly melatonin decrease in the presence of increasing telecommunication signal exposure, which is nearly half of the normal level for more than half of the group (56%)."

The Lancet (2002) Spain investigates four cancer cases diagnosed in children in one school
"The emergence of haematological malignancies in four children at a school in the Spanish city of Valladolid during a 12-month period forced the regional government of Castilla y León to close the school on Jan 2 so that experts could try to identify the cause of the cluster of cases. On Dec 21, before the fourth case was identified, a judge ordered the owners of 36 nearby telephone aerials to switch them off, after repeated complaints by parents. The aerials were on the roof of a building, which was 46 metres from the school."

IARC (2001). International Agency for Research on Cancer IARC finds limited evidence that residential magnetic fields increase risk of childhood leukemia:

Comment: Some things missing: the electric field + the direction of magnetic field + dirty electricity (transients and harmonic overwaves) are not addressed in studies. Most of the studies only address the low-level magnetic field.

Fortune (2000). Ross Adey: "Wherever we go, we will be immersed in a sea of low-level, pulsed microwave signals."
"A nonthermal interaction implies that there is some form of resonant response to the signal by the tissue. We see all sorts of enzyme responses and changes in gene expression if there is a modulation or low-frequency interruption of the electromagnetic signal, whether it be at power-line frequencies or as a modulation of a microwave pulse being turned on and off at a low rate in what might be called a biological spectrum, below 100 hertz."
