Health committee  Because the normal way in which a double-stranded break is repaired is to cut out the damaged section and replace it with the corresponding piece from the homologous chromosome.

Health committee  I would agree very much with Dr. Johansson on this, but I wouldn't be too depressed if I were someone in the cellphone industry, because I think there are ways in which the modulation system can be changed so that it wouldn't have these ill effects. I have put it into the mater

Health committee  Madam Chairman, may I make a comment?

Health committee  Most of what has been said today is concerned with the power levels and alleged heating effects, which most people now who are worried about non-thermal effects don't think are important. What may be more important is the modulation of the signal; that is, the way the signal st

Health committee  I'll repeat: a nice test for this is on the viability of sperm, because it's very relevant. Anything that damages sperm damages the whole human race. Sperm are particularly sensitive because they are haploid, which means they have only one set of genes, and they are unable to rep

Health committee  What really worries me is the use of DECT baby monitors, the cordless monitors, which irradiate very young children continuously all night long from a distance of maybe centimetres. Now, that really does worry me. It hasn't been tested, and it would indeed be unethical to do cont

Health committee  Yes. It follows on Dimitris' work. There has been some recent work done in Cleveland, Ohio, in Dr. Agarwal's group. It shows that donated human sperm can be damaged by cellphone radiation in less than an hour. That damage is visible, and it could be used as a test for the safet

Health committee  Am I running out of time?

Health committee  You should have it already.

Health committee  Well, the thesis was at the end, which you will not now know, to tell you how to put it all right. It's like an Agatha Christie novel.

Health committee  Hello. I am online. I'm a retired lecturer from Imperial College London.

Health committee  I'll do my best. I have sent the committee a lot of material containing scientific evidence, but what I want to do now is just summarize it, so I apologize for not giving references. I had a lifelong interest in radio communications and was one of the first people I know to buy

Health committee  Yes, I can do that.
