Greens: cell phone radiation up to

The Greens want to lower the limits on cell phone radiation significantly: in the Bundestag adopted by the board of the guidelines, the current limit values ​​referred to as not likely to exclude all health risks.

They are therefore incompatible with the goal of preventive health protection, said in Berlin on Tuesday of the Green environmental expert Winfried Hermann. Therefore the limits should be lowered for both mobile phones and for mobile phone masts. Herman pointed to the creation of several studies in which there is evidence of health by mobile phone users and people living near masts.

Herman pointed to the creation of a study by the Institute for Social-Ecological Research and Education (ECOLOG) in Hanover, according to health is possible for cell phone users and people living near masts. The Deutsche Telekom was commissioned ECOLOG-study evidence of birth defects in animals, sleep disorders, endocrine disruption and cancer-promoting effects associated with the use of cell phones.

They recommended radiation exposure limits for mobile phones from a maximum of 0.5 watts per square meter. This requirement to join the Greens in their guidelines. Currently, up to two watts are permitted. “We demand nothing that technically can not be achieved,” said Hermann. The newer mobile devices may limit their radiation levels already at 0.5 watts per square meter. Equipment must therefore disappear as quickly as possible from the market and are replaced by newer equipment, environmental expert said the Greens.

According to the guidelines it should also be capable of “sensitive areas” such as pure residential areas, schools and kindergartens from transmission towers to keep free. There should be a mandatory declaration Hermann According to the radiation levels on the cell phones so that consumers can better assess the burden. A warning is intended to reduce use by children.

The British government had already decided last year, on all mobile phones sold in the United Kingdom to print a warning. They had decided to, after scientists had recommended that children not too long can make calls with mobile phones.
