Sharon Noble raises the concern that cell phones in Canada exceed the exorbitant Safety Code 6 (SC6) standards/guidelines. An issue that a vast majority of Canadians would be concerned about if they knew. In 2016 a group in France called “phonegate” headed by DR Arazi tested about 450 of the most commonly used phones and found that 90% of them exceeded France’s safety limits. The limits are based on the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The France allows even a higher level than Canada. Canada allows 1.6 Watts/Kilogram and France’s is 25% higher at 2 Watt/Kilogram.
Phonegate has recently started sending out monthly reports https://www.phonegatealert.org/en of phones taken off the market in France. Recently Sharon contacted Health Canada (HC) to see if these phones have been taken off the market in Canada, according to Health Canada none have.
Recently, the Chicago Tribune conducted similar tests on several of the most commonly used phones in the US. He tests were conducted by an independent lab in California. They found similar results with the worst exceeding the FCC standards by 11 times (1100%). Canada’s limits are the same as the US FCC limits of 1.6 watts/kilogram. Those phones are still being sold. Sharon specifically asked HC about Motorola’s Razor II, a very popular phone that is https://vimeo.com/derbyhat/phonegateadvertised to kids especially for gaming about the phone’s use in Canada. HC’s Brian Ahere responded they don’t have any standards determining safety of or monitoring cell phones. HC sets he standards and pass he responsibility for monitoring compliance to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) formerly known as Industry Canada (IC), IC’s responsibility is to increase business in Canada not health and safety of Canadian residents. The HC rep did not feel HC has a responsibility to monitor and enforce the safety standards. In all likelihood the cell phones most Canadians are using today exceed the health limits of SC6 if it is used as a cell phone is intended to be used.
The way cell phones are tested is based on SAR’s using a replica of a US prime army recruit or 200 pound man filled with jelly that is supposed to be similar to our brain tissue with probes placed into it to measure the rise in temperature in 6 minutes with the cellphone held up away from the head or body (up to 25 mm or more away). Not the way cell phones are used.
In the manuals the phone manufacturers say to hold the phone away from the head and body by up to 25 or more mm. The testing should be with the phone held in the hands or directly next to the head and body when one is using it or in their pockets when they are being carried. Even though the testing of cell phones is not consistent with the way they are used: HC in its news letters sent out to the public regularly tells Canadians that Cell Pones are safe to use 24/7 even by children.
