控訴電磁波侵害人權要求監委調查

反電磁輻射公害團體獲知國外學術期刊epidemiology(流行病學)於去年11月刊載:「氣象雷達電磁波暴露健康副作用,Adverse Health Effect of Radiofrequency Exposures from Weather Radar System」一文(附件一),再得知該論文乃由行政院衛生署國民健康局及中央氣象局合資,委由成功大學進行之「台南七股鄉鹽埕村附近居民流行病學調查」報告內容,但該報告卻於衛生署網站搜尋不得,而成功大學論文系統也保密十年。後經七股鄉鹽埕村氣象雷達電磁波受害者自救會請求蘇煥智縣長、賴清德立委、田秋堇立委、黃偉哲及陳杰等多位立委行文要求衛生署提供後,才獲國民健康局一份報告(不完整)。七股鄉鹽埕村氣象雷達電磁波受害者自救會會長洪嘉模表示: 該報告已批露七股鹽埕村自氣象雷達設置後五年,全癌症死亡率已較台灣之平均多約1.7倍(接近流行病學顯著性),他與村民的工作地點就在雷達附近的漁塭潟湖,環保署已檢測電磁波高於背景值萬倍以上,今已有此報告,故請監委調查並要求中央氣象立即遷走雷達。

台灣電磁輻射公害防治協會陳椒華理事長表示,成大之「台南七股鄉鹽埕村附近居民流行病學調查」報告也批露了七股鄉龍山村癌症死亡率明顯增高,經查七股鄉龍山村於龍山國小後方約100公尺之龍山段793號土地,民國86年已有基地台設置。七股鄉龍山村居民八成以上居民居住於該基地台半徑1000公尺範圍內,因該基地台設置後,居民罹病死亡增加,經多次抗爭,97、98年後已全部拆除。今由衛生署此份報告,已得知於86年後,七股鄉龍山村之全癌症死亡率及全疾病死亡率皆顯著高於台灣平均,分別多約1.7倍及1.259倍(已達統計顯著差異),這是台灣第一份由政府出資進行居民於基地台設置後,癌症顯著增加之官方學術報告,顯示基地台附近癌症增加已有統計顯著增加情形。

台灣教師聯盟吳麗慧理事長表示,反電磁輻射公害團體要追究與向監委陳情: 一、為何國民健康局98年已得知報告內容,尤其報告中癌症顯著增加,卻隱匿不公開,此舉已違反憲法15條,政府應保障人民生存權,也牴觸總統已頒布並已立法實施之「經濟社會文化權利國際公約」及「公民與政治權利國際公約及經濟社會文化權利國際公約施行法」,依其法令,政府應保障人民工作環境及生存環境的安全;三、至今衛生署國民健康局仍不公佈基地台周圍街、路之癌症人數資料,相較韓國、以色列、英、瑞士、德國等國家衛生單位都有提供基地台、廣播電台及變電所鄰近範圍(400公尺至2公里不等)內之癌症人數,要求國民健康局應依資訊公開法提供街、路癌症人數,以反應基地台鄰近之實際危害情形,四、環保署應降低環境建議值,五、衛生署有責任訂定室內之安全電磁波值。

台中霧峰反台電高壓電塔自救會顏秀蘭會長表示,台中霧峰鄉甲寅村高壓電塔林立,高壓纜線從屋舍上方穿越而過,造成當地電磁輻射過高,居家檢測數值動輒十數mG,甚至要上探100mG,村民日夜暴露在高壓輻射下飽受煎熬、病痛纏身。今特來向監委陳情,要求台電變電所搬離或賠償遷村。

Background and Objective:The health effect of radiofrequency has been a public concern for years. To improve the quality of data, the Center Weather Bureau set up four Doppler radar stations in Taiwan. In order to assess the health effects of radiofrequency exposures form weather radar system, we conducted this study to evaluate the associations between weather radar system and the mortality of the residents living in the two areas (Areas I and II) where the radar stations are located.

Methods:
The all-cause mortality of residents near the radar stations was studied over the period 1997–2006. We compared the data between five years before and five years after the weather radar system was established. For comparing the mortality rates between the periods, we calculated the standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) using the mortality observed in the five-year period before the establishment of the radar station as the reference.

Results:
The SMR of the over-all mortality was 0.94 in Area I, 0.88 in Area II, and 0.89 in Taiwan as a whole. The SMR of all malignant neoplasma mortality combined was 1.05 in Area I, 0.97 in Area II, and 0.98 in Taiwan. The SMR of all leukemia mortality combined was 1.61 in Area I, 1.21 in Area II, and 0.99 in Taiwan. The death rates of leukemia in residents in the exposure areas increased in the recent five years.

Conclusion:
During a 10-year period of observation, we found mild increase in the mortality of leukemia in residents living in areas with radar station. However, in order to take the latent period of cancer into account, further follow-up is needed. In addition, the correlations between the mortality of leukemia and distance from the radar stations should be evaluated using further subdivisions of unit population, such as a village.

SUICIDES ‘LINKED TO PHONE MASTS’




There are thousands of masts in Britain

http://www.express.co.uk
Sunday June 22,2008
By Lucy Johnston

THE spate of deaths among young people in Britain’s suicide capital could be linked to radio waves from dozens of mobile phone transmitter masts near the victims’ homes.

Dr Roger Coghill, who sits on a Government advisory committee on mobile radiation, has discovered that all 22 youngsters who have killed themselves in Bridgend, South Wales, over the past 18 months lived far closer than average to a mast.

He has examined worldwide studies linking proximity of masts to depression. Dr Coghill’s work is likely to trigger alarm and lead to closer scrutiny of the safety of masts, which are frequently sited on public buildings such as schools and hospitals.

It is also likely to fuel more campaigns against placing masts close to public places on health grounds.

Dr Coghill said last night there was strong circumstantial evidence that the masts may have triggered depression in those from Bridgend who took their lives.

They include Kelly Stephenson, 20, who hanged herself from a shower rail in February this year while on holiday in Folkestone, Kent.

Dr Coghill said: “There is a body of research that has over the years pointed to the fact that exposure to mobile radiation can lead to depression. There is evidence of higher suicide rates where people live near any electrical equipment that gives off radio or electrical waves.”

There are now 70 million mobile phone handsets in the UK and around 50,000 masts. Both emit radio signals and electromagnetic fields that can penetrate the brain, and for many years campaigners have argued that this could seriously damage people’s health.

The national average for proximity to a mobile phone transmitter varies depending on the type of mast. The latest masts are far more powerful so they can transmit more sophisticated data, such as photos and videos for people to download on internet phones.

Masts are placed on average 800 metres away from each home across the country. In Bridgend the victims lived on average only 356 metres away.

The national average distance from a new powerful mast is a kilometre while in Bridgend it is 540 metres. Three transmitters were within 200 metres, 13 within 400 metres and as many as 22 within 500 metres of victims’ homes. Carwyn Jones, 28, who hanged himself last week, was the third young person in his street to commit suicide.

Research shows young people’s brains are more susceptible to radio wave energy. Only two weeks ago a report identified mobiles as having an effect on sleep patterns.

Dr Coghill added: “What seems to be happening is that the electrical energy is having an effect on the chemistry of the brain, depleting serotonin levels. We know that in depression serotonin levels are low and that a standard treatment for depression is to give drugs to boost serotonin levels. As they begin to work, the patient’s depression lifts.”

He said urgent research was needed because Britain was now covered with thousands of masts, many close to homes, schools and offices.

Since January 5, 2007, there have been 22 deaths of young people in the Bridgend area. Some believe the suicides are linked but so far experts have failed to find a common cause.

Thomas Davies, 20, hanged himself in February 2007. Last night his brother Nathan, 19, welcomed Dr Coghill’s research. “As far as this family is concerned nothing can bring Tom back,” he said. “But if there is a link found and something can be done then it could prevent further suicides.”

But Mike Dolan, executive director of the Mobile Operators Association, dismissed Dr Coghill’s research. “This is an insensitive and outrageous piece of speculation which has no basis in established science,” he said.

The Government’s Health Protection Agency insisted that fields from mobile masts – even modern powerful masts – were well within international agreed safety limits. “There is no evidence that masts do you harm. The levels of radio waves are very low.”

只距离50尺严重碍健康 公寓居民抗电讯辐射



■ 叶志光(右)向记者展示电讯设施与8楼地平线一样及仅距离50尺的电讯设施。


■ 峇央峇鲁Krystal Villa高级公寓居民协会联合逾50名居民周五举行和平请愿,反对距离其住家约50尺外建设电讯设施。

摘取自光华日报
二零一零年八月二十一日 凌晨十二时三十五分

(槟岛西南区20日讯)峇央峇鲁Krystal Villa高级公寓居民协会联合逾50名居民周五举行和平请愿,反对距离住家约50尺外建设电讯设施,且在3个月时间内增加至15座,严重影响居民健康,其中一户居民一家4口,每周至少生病3次,特别是感到严重头痛。

该公寓居协主席叶志光更说电讯设施影响屋价,损失至少8万令吉,在10年前他购买该公寓时价值约18万令吉、目前市价约22万令吉,若不是因为有电讯设施,可能屋价达30万令吉。

叶志光吁地方政府正视

他和逾50名居民是于周五上午10时许在公寓底楼举行和平请愿,叶志光代表居民呼吁槟州地方政府及有关当局正视,以协助居民彻查在该公寓对面商业大厦顶楼建的电讯设施是否合法。

他说,他们也投诉过量的电讯设施太靠近居民住家,严重影响居民健康,除了严重头痛、居民也感觉失眠、记忆衰退,若继续下去,他们真的不敢想像后果会是怎样,因此希望州及地方政府关注,以尽快解决问题。

Krystal Villa高级公寓共有107个单位,逾有600名居民。

叶志光说,他们曾多次通过管理层向槟岛市政局及有关当局反映,也曾在两个月前致函掌管地方政府事务的曹观友行政议员投诉,可是迄今仍无下文,使居民们每天处在水深火热局面。

他强调,居民不仅质疑这些电讯设施是否合法,也非常不满约有15座过量的设施,导致部份居民每天打开门都须面对着设在对面顶楼的电讯设施。

许元福:与电讯塔面对面

与电讯设施“毗邻”的该公寓8楼居民许元福投诉,距离只有约50尺,令他和家人天天打开门即与电讯设施“面对面”,间接影响他和家人的健康,特别是只有2岁的儿子许宇森最令他担心,因为儿子经常不舒服。

他希望州政府正视他们的心声,为民解困,避免可能非法及过量电讯设施继续困扰家人。

朱燕蓉:孙子一周生病3次

另一名居民朱燕蓉(56岁)投诉,她和儿子及孙子一家4口,经常会不舒服,特别是孙子一周至少生病3次,因此她非常反对靠近住宅区建电讯设施。

黄万河向曹观友反映民困

充当居民及州政府协调角色的班台惹雅区国阵协调员黄万河对记者说,他希望槟及地方政府尽快着手处理居民的投诉,避免继续困扰及影响居民健康。

他也质疑电讯设施是否合法,也认为当局不应该在距离住宅区批准约15座电讯设施建设。

他说,居民是在上两周前向他投诉,今日通过和平请愿方式,通过媒体报导,希望引起地方政府关注。

黄万河也在媒体面前,以手提电话向地方政府事务委员会主席曹观友反映,及说明居民将会交一份备忘录给对方,而曹观友回应,他事前对此事并不知情,不过他说会跟进。

电讯塔不拆反增 居民要曹观友守诺


光华日报
二零一零年八月十日

(槟城10日讯)美丽坚律及彭亨律毗邻一座商业大厦屋顶上的多支电讯塔,说拆却没拆,反而增加,令居民胆颤心惊,赶紧要求区内国会议员曹观友守诺,立即指示拆除。

也是地方政府委员会主席的曹观友行政议员,今年4月向美丽坚路及彭亨路居民派定心丸,说将指示市政局拆除座落在彭亨律一栋商业楼两个单位屋顶上的多支电讯塔装置,至今4个月却没有行动,周一(9日)早上却又有电讯公司人员到来添加安装电讯塔装置,引起居民的进一步恐慌及不满。

美丽坚律门牌56号的居民刘传明向本报记者猛吐苦水说,指居民等了几个月却不见行动,如今却再添电讯塔。

他指出,其妻子是个运动爱好者,却在两年前不幸患癌后病逝,其健康也每况愈下,视力也越来越差,怀疑与电讯塔竖立后引起健康隐忧有关。

来自彭亨律门牌15号A的居民林先生说,区内一带不少居民都一直喊无故头痛,其妻子也在2年前出现偏头痛,专科医院也验不出原因,而他本身2年来一直出现耳鸣情况,健康也大不如前。他们希望曹观友能遵守承诺立即指示拆除,而居民也计划近期内再邀请曹观友到来向当地民众交代事件的进展。

与5电讯塔为邻如处微波炉内 组屋居民抗辐射危害


■ 商店屋顶上设立了约5至6个电讯塔,造成该区电磁波偏高。


■ 王美丽指出,在户外的电磁波辐射点数达0.7V/M。


■ 许文栊、涂仲仪与居民一起反对电讯塔设立在组屋附近。


光华日报
二零一零年八月八日 晚上十一时五十一分

(槟岛西南区8日讯)湖内阳光花园组屋与约5个电讯塔毗邻,居民住家电磁波辐射点数达3V/M,形如24小时处在微波炉内,周日他们连同国阵垄尾选区协调员许文栊及槟城电磁辐射公害防护联盟医药顾问涂仲仪一起高举反对电讯塔卡片,指责州政府漠视人民健康,吁请当局关注。

高举反电讯塔卡片吁关注

约30多名男女老少高举写着“人民重要,利益重要?”、“电讯塔危害我们健康”,“把电讯塔拆掉”、“健康利益?商人?”卡片,要求州政府拆掉该区商店屋顶上电讯塔。

许文栊:应尊重人民意愿

国阵垄尾选区协调员许文栊表示,上述电讯塔的设立影响该组屋及附近约2000个人口健康,州政府应该尊重人民意愿,拆除并另选其他适合地点建电讯塔。

他说,居民不满组屋附近陆续建设电讯塔,令他们觉得健康走下坡,其中有些也突然病发动手术。他会安排槟城电磁辐射公害防护联盟人员前来主办讲座会,提高人民对电磁波辐射的醒觉。

王美丽:辐射点数达0.7V/M

槟城电磁辐射公害防护联盟秘书王美丽在现场以高频电磁波测试仪测试时,在户外的电磁波辐射点数达0.7V/M,而在一名居民住家客厅内却测到3V/M。

她说,这是由于电讯塔与居民住家高度并行,因此接受辐射比在组屋楼下户外更高,而有关测试也是普通级数,若组屋周围都有人同一时间用电话,可想而知辐射指数更惊人。

她表示,虽然据世界卫生组织标准,电磁场强度不可超过每公尺61伏特,但据权威的非政府组织最新安全指标,每个电讯塔是不得超过每公尺0.6伏特。

涂仲仪:半夜组装做贼心虚

槟城电磁辐射公害防护联盟医药顾问涂仲仪表示,电讯塔不适合设立在人口密集区、学校幼儿园或住家周围,居民应勇敢挺身而出坚决反对电讯塔并要求当局拆除。

他指出,根据世界卫生组织的标准,任何电讯塔的设立需要进行听证会,寻求当地居民的意见才可落实,但是很遗憾的在槟州却非如此。

“许多电讯塔往往都是在居民不知情下建设起来,而且都在半夜才来组装,显然有做贼心虚之嫌。”

范炳辉:过了1年仍无下文

居民范炳辉表示,他曾在2009年致函予槟岛市政局询问有关电讯塔的合法性,当局回函只是写明会展开调查,如今过了约一年仍无下文。

他不久前再致电市政局官员查证时,却被告知电讯塔是合法的。他说,其女儿也因电讯塔陆续设立,导致出现偏头痛。

其中一名居民戴福清表示,他怀疑本身患上胃溃烂病是因电讯塔辐射所引起,希望州政府可以严正看待电讯塔事件。

杨顺兴:若非法立刻采行动

针对有关居民投诉,该区州议员杨顺兴表示,会严正看待此事。

他说,他在2周前接获居民投诉后已第一时间要求市政局建筑部展开调查,目前正等待该部主任的回应,若查证后发现属非法电讯塔,当局会立刻采取行动。

Saying no to telcos

Monday August 9, 2010

By WINNIE YEOH

ABOUT 40 residents of the Taman Seri Sari in Relau, Penang, are worried over several telecommunication transmitters that are fixed on shophouses in front of their apartments.

The residents held placards in front of their apartments yesterday to protest against the structures.

Paya Terubong Barisan Nasional coordinator Koh Wan Leong said the residents were concerned that transmitters might be harmful to their health.

He said there were about 2,000 residents staying in 484 apartments at Taman Seri Sari.

Source of concern: A view of the telecommunication towers fixed on shophouses opposite the Taman Seri Sari apartments.

Penang Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Protection Alliance medical advisor Dr Thor Teong Gee, who was also present, said the organisation wanted to highlight the harm of EMF to the local council, state government and also the Federal Govern-ment.

He said according to a guideline by World Health Organisation, a public hearing was needed to consult the stakeholders before any setting up of telecommunication towers or transmitters.

A resident Fan Peng Wai said he had written a letter to the Penang Municipal Council in November last year after the structures were put up and received a reply from the council that the latter would investigate the matter.

“However, when I did not receive anything further from the council, I called up the Licensing Department last week and an officer told me that the structures here are not illegal,” he said.

On Saturday, the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of SJK (C) Shang Wu near Ayer Itam submitted a petition, asking for the local authorities to remove a telecommunication tower opposite the school.

The petition was submitted to state Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow.

PTA representative Ong Bee Lay claimed no public consultation was conducted to erect the tower there.

“We urge you and the authorised parties to heed our call. Please remove the telco structure and show that the Penang Government cares, ” Ong said in a copy of the petition, which was emailed to The Star here.

Chow could not be reached for comment on the matter.

趁商务没上课行动·漆青色隐身树间 电讯塔没拆反增装仪器


光华日报
二零一零年七月二十五日

■ 工友使用吊车在塔上加装仪器,图为张瀚中、黄世庆及朱笙鑫在接获民众投报后,前往现场视察。

(槟城25日讯)新建电讯塔非但没拆,反见工友用吊车在塔上加装仪器!

这座新建电讯塔,位于亚依淡路商务小学和中华小学之间,为了掩人耳目,被漆上青色,耸立在大树之间,塔中间部份伸出两臂膀,装有灯罩,犹如街边的电灯柱。

今年4月26日,槟城电磁辐射防护联盟、商务小学及中华小学家协,和跑马园居协曾联合召开记者会,反对有关电讯塔。当时也邀请槟州民政党、马华协调员及公正党植物园区州议员王康立出席。

他们希望能够在“人多势众”的情况下,早日将电讯塔这个“眼中钉”拆离中华AB校、商务小学及跑马园一带。尽管如此,3个月后,这座电讯塔非但没被拆除,如今反见工友使用吊车在塔上加装仪器。

张瀚中:向对方询问不受理

国阵亚依淡区协调员张瀚中向《光华日报》披露,他是在今早接获多方投诉后,偕同民青团投诉局主任黄世庆及副主任朱笙鑫前往现场视察。

据他现场所见,有关工作人员是使用吊车在塔上加装仪器。不过,当他向对方询问时却不受理。

他认为,当局特地选择在周六学校没有上课才派人前来进行安装工作,令人质疑当局的别有用心。

“我们并不是刻意提出反对,也了解大家在资讯上需要类似的设备。但有关方面也应以电讯塔是否会影响公众和学生的健康为考量。”
