Four local women are hoping to at least start a real dialogue in society about electromagnetic hyper sensitivity (EHS) and the impact wireless technology can have on our health.

Christel Martin recently spoke to Nanaimo city council about turning off wireless servers in city facilities, so EHS sufferers like her could use them without getting sick.

When the library introduced wireless service four years ago she started getting itchy and irritable, which soon escalated to include insomnia, nightmares, heart palpitations, dizziness and headaches.

While the symptoms can vary greatly, there are a lot of common elements explained Jacqueline Little, who also gets an irregular heart beat, chest pains and itchiness, with a lot of vision and eye complications thrown in for extra discomfort. Louise Campbell also had many issues with her eyes and ears before she discovered her house wasn’t properly grounded and that experience has since made her sensitive to the “electro smog” radiating from other electrical devices, both wireless and not.

Jean Pongratz-Doyle explained that it has a lot to do with how much wireless signal is present, pointing out that her symptoms got worse as new layers of overlapping cell phone and wi-fi service were added, especially in areas like downtown Nanaimo where many cafe’s, restaurants and offices have their own routers.

While the women eventually found some sympathetic ears and doctors, they have become experts in doing their own research into a field they admit is relatively new and lacks the mainstream acceptance for more people to take them seriously.

Despite the apparent uphill battle against “smart meters,” and the proliferation of cell phones and wireless infrastructure, the women are generally optimistic it is only a matter of time before the tide of awareness shifts in their favour.

Martin compares the “electro smog” produced by these technologies as similar to cigarette smoke a generation ago when some already accepted the dangers, but the rest of society was still struggling against powerful interests on the other side of the issue.

She also said it’s a problem of people having a nee jerk reaction to anything that threatens the connivence of their cell phones.

Estimates of the prevalence of EHS vary widely from a few people per million, to as high as five per cent of the population, with some suggestions of mild sensitivity going as high as 35 to 50 per cent of the population.

While official sources like the World Health Organization and Health Canada tend to downplay EHS as rare and possibly caused by unrelated things like stress, there is a growing recognition that some people are suffering legitimate medical issues that have to at the very least be better understood.

The most common advice at this point is to do what these women figured out themselves — limit exposure to electromagnetic sources.

While that might help with the problem at home or work, it doesn’t help in places like cafe’s and libraries offering wi-fi to their customers, or in cities filled with cell phone towers.

While they might dream about it, the women are not asking for a complete wireless ban, just that it be further studied and considered, especially in schools and homes where children — more sensitive to the effects — are spending unprecedented amounts of time with wireless technology.

When Martin appeared before Nanaimo council she was basically told the benefits of providing the service outweigh any health complaints at this time.

Residents of Santa Cruz County concerned about health, privacy, and the environment, as well as those who enjoy the beaches of the north coast free of cell towers and other industrial equipment, demonstrated in front of Verizon Wireless’s retail store on Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz on Saturday July 21. The protest raised awarenesses about the company’s plans, along with NextG corporation, to install six new cell sites along Highway 1 and Swanton Road in the county’s remote north coast region.

Demonstrators say the North Coast Cell project is a threat to views, endangered species and resident safety. The California Coastal Commission is expected to decide whether to issue a coastal permit for the project at its meeting on Aug. 10 at the Santa Cruz County building. A large community presence is anticipated.

Cell phone, wi-fi, and smart meter emissions were labelled by the World Health Organization in May 2011 as a Class 2B carcinogen, and many are reporting symptoms from exposure to these devices. Despite this, California utility customers are being charged a large fee to avoid this carcinogen. Verizon is a partner with PG&E and receives wireless data pulses from PG&E SmartMeters containing residents’ private data.

Mockups of the cell sites that are currently in place have been obstructing views and cluttering the landscape for months. Residents were given little notification and many wondered about the strange cylindrical and rectangular objects suddenly mounted on the poles. The equipment will directly interfere with views from Swanton Rd. to the coast and the pristine redwood valley in between, a designated and protected special scenic area. “What do ‘protected areas’ mean if we are not going to defend these areas from industrial development? We expect the Coastal Commissioners to take a hard look at this project, how it violates the Coastal Act, and undermines public access to the coast” says Joshua Hart, spokesperson for the local group opposing the project.

Local environmentalists have raised the alarm over impacts from cell towers that studies indicate may have deadly consequences for endangered species in the area. Organizations like the Sierra Club’s Santa Cruz Group have come out against the plan. The northernmost tower is proposed to be constructed only feet from Big Basin State Park, adjacent to wetlands that are home to federally endangered species such as the Red Legged Frog and Western Pond Turtle. Studies have shown a 90% mortality rate for tadpoles exposed to cell tower radiation at the distance that tadpoles in Waddell Creek wetlands would be exposed.

Fire risk is also at issue. NextG Corp. is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by residents of Malibu who suffered nearly 15 million in damages from a 2007 wildfire caused by power poles overloaded with telecommunications equipment that blew over and sparked in high winds. Opponents of the project are saying that the last thing the Bonny Doon area needs is another wildfire. NextG Corp. has already strung miles of cable between the proposed sites which community members say they have done without a permit and in violation of the Coastal Act.

Many local residents are opposed to the project, and see the cell sites as an existential threat to their quality of life and the pristine nature of the local environment. High speed wired DSL service is available widely throughout the area at residences, so the need for a series of power gulping cell sites emitting pulsed microwave radiation 24/7 has been questioned – particularly in the proposed locations, sending a carcinogenic substance into Big Basin, California’s first state park and still home to a thriving ecosystem.
