  "The analysis allowed to identify a metabolomic profile able of distinguishing IEI-EMF patients [Idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields] and healthy subjects. IEI-EMF patients were therefore characterized by the alteration of 19 metabolites involved in different metabolic pathways such as energy metabolism, muscle, and pathways related to oxidative stress defense and chronic pain. The results obtained in this study complete the metabolomic "picture" previously investigated on the same cohort of IEI-EMF patients with 1H-NMR spectroscopy, placing a further piece for better understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms in patients with IEI-EMF."

  “In 2008 the first genetic variant associated with EMF sensitivity was discovered, the XRCC1 Ex9+16A allele, a DNA repair polymorphism, linked with childhood leukaemia near substations and powerlines [2]. In 2014 it was reported that people with EHS were 9.7 times more likely to have GSTM1 + GSTT1 null genotypes [3], indicating a susceptibility to oxidative stress. This genetic variation can also increase the risk of multiple sclerosis, some cancers, Alzheimer’s and asthma, each sometimes associated with EHS. Such genetic variants seem more common at higher than lower latitudes and in women than men, with others associated with higher levels of mercury. EHS symptoms are also associated with some demyelinating neurodegenerative conditions.”

  "Multivariate statistical analysis (…) allowed the identification of a distinct metabolic profile between IEI-EMF [Idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields] and healthy subjects. IEI-EMF were characterized by higher levels of glycine and pyroglutamate, and lower levels of 2-hydroxyisocaproate, choline, glutamine, and isoleucine compared to healthy subjects. These metabolites are involved in several metabolic pathways mainly related to oxidative stress defense, pain mechanisms, and muscle metabolism. The results here obtained highlight possible physiopathological mechanisms in IEI-EMF patients to be better defined."

Betreft: stralingsblootstelling door slimme meters

Geachte,

In 2019 wil men in Vlaanderen digitale/slimme meters uitrollen.

In het buitenland is gebleken dat dit soort meters voor een aanzienlijke blootstelling aan hoogfrequente elektromagnetische straling kunnen zorgen. U werd door de vereniging Beperk de Straling in 2015 reeds per brief op de hoogte gebracht van de belangrijke risico’s voor de gezondheid en van manieren om de nieuwe meters zo stralingsarm mogelijk te maken (voor het geval u dit gemist heeft, zie www.beperkdestraling.org/slimme-elektriciteitsmeters).

Als bezorgde burger wil ik jullie, Eandis en Infrax (gefuseerd in Fluvius) wijzen op jullie maatschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid in deze. De technologische keuzes die jullie maken zullen een belangrijke impact hebben op de mate waarin gezinnen, opgroeiende kinderen, zwangere vrouwen, zieke personen etc. dagelijks worden blootgesteld aan dit soort schadelijke straling.

Zelf tracht ik mijn stralingsblootstelling bewust te reduceren en zou het niet acceptabel vinden dat derden mij in mijn eigen woonst verplicht blootstellen aan een omgevingsfactor die de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie officieel classificeerde als potentieel kankerverwekkend. Ik wil ook niet blootgesteld worden aan de straling van slimme meters bij mijn buren.

Ik roep Eandis en Infrax (Fluvius) dan ook op om voluit te kiezen voor digitale/slimme meters die communiceren via een bekabelde verbinding, zoals bijvoorbeeld in Chattanooga, Tennessee in de VS. De intentie van Minister Muyters om het glasvezelnetwerk in Vlaanderen verder uit te bouwen biedt hier zeker opportuniteiten.

Een keuze voor draadloze zendtechnologie (bvb. GPRS) of via een powerline-systeem (PLC) is onwenselijk en onaanvaardbaar vanuit een gezondheidsoogpunt.

• Draadloze zendtechnologie is ENKEL aanvaardbaar wanneer de zendfrequentie beperkt wordt tot maximaal een eenmalig signaal per maand, in functie van de afrekening. Tussentijdse controlesignalen moeten absoluut worden vermeden en het verzenden van een signaal ’s nachts moet ook vermeden worden, wegens het verstorende effect op de slaap.
• Powerline-technologie is ENKEL aanvaardbaar wanneer de netbeheerders een filter kunnen ontwikkelen en (aan een redelijke prijs) ter beschikking kunnen stellen, die verhindert dat de radiofrequente signalen op het net zich voortzetten op de elektriciteitsleidingen in huis. Hiervoor is reeds expertise beschikbaar in Zweden en Frankrijk.
• Het is belangrijk dat mensen steeds de KEUZE hebben om de slimme meter via een (Ethernet-)kabel te verbinden.
• De communicatie vanuit de concentratoren in de straat (die de signalen van de individuele slimme meters in een buurt groeperen) naar de centrale, dient eveneens te gebeuren via kabelinfrastructuur en niet draadloos.

Naast de zendtechnologie is ook de voeding van de meter belangrijk. Een schakelende voeding (‘Switch Mode Power Supply’) zorgt voor zogenaamde ‘dirty electricity’ op de elektriciteitsleidingen. Men moet daarom kiezen voor kwalitatieve apparatuur die dit zoveel mogelijk tegengaat (vooraf te testen).

Voor “slimme” gasmeters zijn de bezorgdheden inzake stralingsbeperking dezelfde.

In het licht van dit alles moeten mensen de KEUZE hebben om een analoge, elektromechanische elektriciteitsmeter te behouden. Ook in de VS bijvoorbeeld bieden verschillende staten nu de mogelijkheid om een analoge meter te behouden of terug te switchen naar een analoge meter. Dat dit in de VS zo gebeurt, ontkracht het argument dat analoge meters niet meer te verkrijgen zouden zijn. Analoge meters zijn de enige meters die geen enkel risico inhouden voor de gezondheid of voor de privacy.

De ervaring in het buitenland (uitgebreid protest in Frankrijk, de VS, …) leert dat wanneer deze keuzemogelijkheid niet wordt voorzien, de netbeheerders zich veel ellende op de hals halen.

Hoogachtend,

Zonnepanelen

Gegevens

Gepubliceerd: woensdag 31 juli 2019 09:51

De omvormers van zonnepanelen en in mindere mate ook de panelen zelf genereren elektromagnetische velden, dus het is best is om deze zo ver mogelijk verwijderd te plaatsen van slaap- en woonkamer. Daarnaast creëren zonnepanelen ook 'dirty electricity'; ongewenste frequenties/stralingspulsen die zich via de elektriciteitsdraden verplaatsen en zo zorgen voor blootstelling hieraan in het hele huis en zelfs bij de buren. Deze 'dirty electricity' is moeilijk te filteren en soms doen filters (bv. deze van Stetzer) meer kwaad dan goed. De enige echte oplossing zijn afgeschermde elektriciteitsdraden, maar dit is in de meeste gevallen onbegonnen werk, tenzij bij nieuwbouw. Tegenwoordig wordt er ook allerhande draadloze technologie gekoppeld aan zonnepanelen, dus ook blootstelling aan hoogfrequente straling.

Hieronder een aantal artikels en rapporten met meer informatie en suggesties om elektromagnetische stralingsblootstelling bij zonnepanelen toch zoveel mogelijk te vermijden:

• Elektromagnetische velden binnenshuis en onderweg (Hugo Schooneveld): zie de paragraaf over zonnepanelen op pagina 83:
  
  "De omvormers die de gelijkspanning van de zonnepanelen opkrikken naar een 230 V wisselspanning produceren extreem vervuilende stroompulsen. Zolang de zon schijnt injecteert het systeem series van 68 kHz pulsen in het net, die gezamenlijk een soort van wisselspanningsprofiel voorstellen (figuren 6-29 en 30). Overigens verschillen de eigenschappen van omvormers per fabrikaat."

Diagnose ElektroHyperSensitiviteit (EHS)

Gegevens

Gepubliceerd: dinsdag 03 januari 2017 16:01

Verschillende wetenschappers en artsen ontwikkelden een protocol of richtlijnen om ElektroHyperSensitiviteit (EHS) te diagnosticeren:

• Veel elektrogevoelige personen laten zich diagnosticeren in de kliniek Alleray-Labrouste te Parijs, bij de Franse kankerspecialist Prof. Dr Dominique Belpomme. Hij verrichtte belangrijk onderzoek naar EHS en ontwikkelde diagnostische criteria en 'biomarkers' voor deze aandoening.
  
  In december 2015 publiceerde hij met zijn onderzoeksgroep een studie met de eerste resultaten van biologische testen en medische beeldvorming bij 727 elektrogevoelige of chemisch overgevoelige personen.
  
  "Leurs données révèlent une inflammation du cerveau ayant l’histamine comme médiateur principal. Les résultats mettent également en évidence une réponse auto-immune, une hypoperfusion cérébrale dans la région capsulothalamique, une ouverture de la barrière hémato-encéphalique et un déficit en mélatonine. Ces résultats permettent aux auteurs de l’étude d’affirmer que « les malades se réclamant d’une électrohypersensibilité et/ou d’une sensibilité multiple aux produits chimiques sont de vrais malades, que leur affection ne relève nullement d’une pathologie psychiatrique ou même psychosomatique »."

  "Testing Procedure for Electosensitivity
  
  To evaluate the level of electrosensitivity, the capacity for bioregulation, i.e. the adaptability of the biological system with regard to environmental factors, is tested. The reactions of the vegetative nervous system to pulsed electromagnetic fields as used in mobile telecommunications are examined.
  
  Heart rate variability (i.e. variability in the sequencing of the individual heart actions), microcirculation (the dynamics of the circulation in capillary vessels) and active electrical skin potentials are recognised as objective parameters, which cannot by directly influenced by the psyche.
  
  By using these parameters, assessments can be made of the actual state of the biosystem, existing pre-damage (chemical poisoning, allergies etc) as well as the activity of bioregulation."
