  For Optimal Wellbeing, you need: An environmental doctor, an environmental/industrial hygienist, and a designer/architect who knows Baubiology and WELL principles! The TRIFECTA.


An Introductory Awareness Course 3

  Wellbeing: A synergistic effect comprised of air, water, soil, light, energy, sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.

  Our wellbeing is framed by both personal experiences, the environment and built structures.

  Time within built structures is approximately 90% of a day. This time is impacted by energy, equipment and devices that harness or uses it. Electro-Magnetic Frequency (EMF) is how we harness it.

  Built structures are being inundated by new technological advances and “smart” systems touted as “must-have enhancements” to the modern way of life.

  The objective of this presentation is Specific Awareness of the effects of building systems on living beings.

  Being well is the only true wealth.

Humans are a complex set of electro-chemical processes where the scales of energy manifest in each endocrine area and support either health or disease.

❑  Measurable fields (veritable) can be

measured by man-made electro-devices.

Veritable field are the most accepted way of

measurement across scientific disciplines.

❑  Immeasurable fields (putative or subtle) cannot be measured by electro-devices; putative fields are also known as biofields and can be measured by pendular sciences.


THE HUMAN HEALTH CONDITIONS 9

RAPID AGING SYNDROME (RAS) 14

Dr Magda Havas, BSC PhD, Trent University, Peterborough, Canada

RAS signs are: fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, feeling discomfort, difficulty concentrating, depression, memory loss, visual disruptions, irritability, hearing disruptions, skin problems, cardiovascular, dizziness, loss of appetite and movement difficulties that occur within 300 meters or 984 feet of an EMF source like emitter Radio Frequency towers hosting antennas. These are signs that at a cellular level, things are not well. For instance, after exposure to these waves for as little as 10 minutes, one can see changes in blood viscosity, circulation and immune response. You age from the inside out!

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum of an object has a different meaning, and is instead the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the low frequencies used for modern communication to gamma radiation at the short wave-length (high-frequency) end, thereby covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom.

IONIZING V NON-IONIZING

  Non-ionizing radiation is any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms.

  Microwaves are considered non-ionizing, yet cause polarized molecules to build up thermal energy known as dielectric heating. These waves fall into the infra-red range. MICROWAVES START HAVING THERMAL OR HEATING EFFECTS at approximately 120 MHz and runs into the Giga Hertz range where we use cell phone technology.

  Ionizing radiation is composed of particles that individually carry enough kinetic energy to liberate an electron from an atom or molecule, ionizing it. Their wave length is short (high energy) and start at the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. It can cause burns, radiation sickness and genetic damage.

❑  Higher electric bills ❑  Health symptoms such as headaches, inability to sleep properly, nausea,

irritability, muscle spasms


TYPICAL CAUSES OF BUILDING POLLUTION 49

Residential Settings: Improper wiring ❑  Unbalanced currents on a circuit ❑  Flow in two different directions on a two-way switch ❑  Accidental connection between the “neutral” in the wiring with the earth

and creates an unbalanced current ❑  Loops of current electricity between meter and interior electrical panel

(circuit breaker) ❑  Inappropriate placement of electrical equipment (Smart meter outside

located on a bedroom wall) ❑  WiFi and Broadband over power line technology Improper grounding ❑  Attaching ground to metal water or gas piping causes electromagnetic

fields in the house (Contact Current or CC) ❑  Attaching ground to earth to provide a safe system is a “myth” according

to Karl Riley, Board of NEC ❑  Magnetic fields


REMEDIATION 50

NEVER DO YOUR OWN ELECTRIC WORK ❑  Contact: Building Specialists, specializing in EMF-They can do

surveys and pull teams together comprising of VERY SPECIALIZED electrical engineers, electricians, industrial hygienists, building biologists to take care of: ❑  Man-made fields of DC, ELF, VLF and RF ❑  Improper Electric Installations ❑  Terrestrial Grids and fields

❑  NOTE: Even if you have someone in the family that is an electrical engineer or electrician, the chances of them knowing this specialized area is remote and you will not get an optimal solution or a solution at all. The situation may still be in effect even after their efforts and your financial investment to correct the situation.


MICROWAVE OVENS CELL PHONES SMART METERS Wi-Fi SYSTEMS IN SCHOOLS

Modern Living Examples 51


MICROWAVE OVENS 52

❑  Microwave ovens use radio waves at a specifically set frequency to agitate water molecules in food. The set frequency is in the 2200-2400 MHz range (2.2-2.4 GHz), making water molecules resonate, hence making microwave ovens work. As these water molecules get increasingly agitated they begin to vibrate at the atomic level and generate heat. This heat is what actually cooks food in the oven. Because all particles in the food are vibrating and generating heat at the same time, food cooked in the microwave cooks much more swiftly than food cooked in a conventional oven where heat must slowly travel from the outside surface of the food inward.

❑  The same radio waves that cook your food pass harmlessly through plastics, glass, and ceramics. It is this characteristic that keeps plastic plates from melting and glasses from exploding. It is also this feature of microwaves that makes them so energy efficient.

❑  Metals, on the other hand, reflect these radio waves, a characteristic put to use in the walls of the microwave such that no waves escape and cook anyone in the kitchen!


MICROWAVE OVENS 53

❑  All of the waves discussed so far are created inside a device called a magnetron. The magnetron pulls electrons (tiny negatively charged particles) off a fine heated wire and then uses magnets to rotate them around inside a vacuum (a space void of any other particles). As these electrons swirl around and around they generate radio waves that are then sent into the oven to cook food.

MICROWAVE OVENS ARE COMPOSED OF: ❑  Antenna ❑  RF Gasket ❑  Cooling Fins ❑  Terminals ❑  Magnetron: This technology was developed for Military Radar Systems and

converted for food use by a radar engineer, Percy Spencer was testing a new magnetron in 1946. He felt a strange tingling sensation and noticed a candy bar in his pocket had melted.

MICROWAVE OVENS 55

DANGERS   Burns from hot foods or steam (over 5milliWatt)   Temporary sterility (over 5mW)   Leakage of microwaves 5mW over the unit’s lifetime   Looking into cooking process can cause cataracts according to FDA, 2011(over

5mW)   Unsafe for baby bottles and foodstuffs according to Dr. Lita Lee (Lancet, 1989)   Documented studies have identified cellular change from microwave uses (Dr. O.

xylene. Microwaving fatty foods in plastic containers leads to the release of dioxins (known carcinogens) and other toxins into your food


MICROWAVE OVENS 56

DANGERS POST WWII RUSSIAN RESEARCH:   Russian investigators found that carcinogens were formed from the microwaving

of nearly all foods tested.   The microwaving of milk and grains converted some of the amino acids into

carcinogenic substances.   Microwaving prepared meats caused the formation of the cancer-causing

agents d-Nitrosodienthanolamines.   Thawing frozen fruits by microwave converted their glucoside and galactoside

fractions into carcinogenic substances.   Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their

plant alkaloids into carcinogens.   Carcinogenic free radicals were formed in microwaved plants – especially root

vegetables.   Structural degradation leading to decreased food value was found to be 60 to

90 percent overall for all foods tested, with significant decreases in bioavailability of B complex vitamins, vitamins C and E, essential minerals, and lipotropics (substances that prevent abnormal accumulation of fat).


MICROWAVE OVENS 57

DANGERS SWISS CLINICAL STUDY: HANS HERTEL   Increased cholesterol levels   Decreased numbers of leukocytes (white blood cells), which can suggest poisoning   Decreased numbers of red blood cells   Production of radiolytic compounds   Decreased hemoglobin levels, which could indicate anemia


CELL PHONES 58

In essence, a cell phone is a radio. The cellular system divides a city into small cells. This allows extensive frequency reuse across the city. This allows millions of people to use cell phones simultaneously. In an analog system in the US, the cell carrier receives 800 frequencies. The carrier chops up the city into “cells” sized about ten square miles. Cells are thought of as Hexagons on a hexagonal grid. Each cell has its own base station. A single cell in an analog system uses 1/7th of available duplex voice channels. That is, each cell (of the 7 on a hex grid) so it has a unique set of frequencies and no collisions. ❑  A cell carrier typically gets 832 RF’s to use in a city ❑  Each cellphone uses two frequencies per call (duplex channel) so there are

typically 395 voice channels per carrier. The other 42 frequencies are used as control channels.

❑  Each cell has 56 voice channels. So, 56 people can talk on their phone at any one time. With digital transmissions methods, the number of the channels increase. For example, a TDMA-based digital system can carry three times as many calls as an analog system so now each cell has 168 channels available.


CELL PHONES 59

Cell phones have low-power transmitters. Many cell phones have two signal strengths: 0.6 watts and 3 watts. (CB radios transmit at 4 watts). The base station is transmitting at low power too. ❑  Transmissions of a base station and the phones within its cell do not make it far outside the cell.

So cells can reuse the same 56 frequencies across the cit. ❑  Cells require a large number of base stations in a city. A typical large city has hundreds of cell

towers. ❑  Each carrier runs a central office called the Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO). This

station handles all phone connections to land-based systems and controls the regions cell base system.

A Cell Phone consists of: ❑  Circuit board ❑  Antenna ❑  Display ❑  Microphone ❑  Speaker ❑  Camera ❑  Battery


CELL PHONES 60

ANALOG STANDARD: ❑  AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) 1983, it was approved by the FCC and first used in Chicago. AMPS uses a range of frequencies between 824 MHz and 894 MHz. To encourage competition there were always two carriers per market. (A & B carriers). One was always the local phone company. Each are assigned 832 frequencies. 790 for voice and 42 for data. A pair for transmission and receiving is a channel. The frequencies used as voice channels are 30kHz. This standard was chosen because it is of a voice quality like a wired phone. Each channel is separated by 42 MHz to keep them from interfering with each other. Each carrier has 395 voice channels and 21 data channels. ❑  NAMPS (Narrowband Advanced Mobile Phone Service) It incorporates some digital technology to allow the system 3 times as many calls. Even though it uses digital technology, it is still considered analog and only operates in the 800MHz band and does not offer today’s standard features such as e-mail and web browsing.


CELL PHONES 61

DIGITAL STANDARD: ❑  Similar to Analog Standard but signal is able to be compressed and manipulated. They can

fit more channels within a bandwidth. ❑  Converts voice to binary information. This compression allows between 3 and 10 cell phone

calls to occupy a single analog call. ❑  Many digital cellular systems rely on frequency-shift keying (FSK) to send data over AMPS.

FSK sues two frequencies: one for 0’s and one for 1’s, alternating rapidly to send the info to a tower and the phone.

CELLULAR ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES: Splits calls based on access methods ❑  FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) 824.04 MHz-893.7 MHz, each call on separate

frequency ❑  TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) Interim Standard 54 (IS-54) AND Interim Standard 136

(IS_136), Narrow band is 30 kHz wide and 6.7 millisecond long is split time-wise into 3 slots. Operates in either 800 MHz (IS-54) or 1900 MHz or 1.9 GHz (IS_136), assigns each call a certain portion of time on designated frequency. GSM or Global System for Mobile uses TDMA but like a different operating system (Windows to Linux)

❑  CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) gives an unique code to each call and spreads it over available frequencies

❑  Multiple Access means that more than one user can utilize each cell

¤  System is affected with power outages

¤  Overexposure can cause severe health issues

62



SMART METERS 63

  A smart meter is like a conventional power meter in that it also measures your electric power usage, but it has other capabilities, such as the ability to be read remotely without sending a person out to your meter.

  Smart meters do have digital electronics inside of them that can act and emit RF, much like an ordinary personal computer.

  In the US the FCC rules operate under Part 15, just like most other consumer and household electronic devices. On most frequencies, Part 15 permits only very low-power operation -- a few nanowatts in some cases. Under the Part 15 rules, certain bands have provisions for higher-power operation. Because these bands are also used by Industrial, Scientific and Medical devices, these bands are often called the ISM bands.


SMART METERS 64

❑  The frequency of operation is typically in the 902 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands. Power output is typically 1 watt in the 902 MHz band and much less in the 2.4 GHz band. ❑  The intended range of a transmitter in a smart meter is typically very localized.

While the utility-side radio needs to reach a neighborhood concentrator, typically mounted on a nearby pole, smart meters can also mesh through other smart meters to communicate with the concentrator. (Using five hops or less).

❑  The smart meter only communicates when it is commanded to do so, typically several times a day. I HAVE PERSONALLY MEASURED TRANSMISSIONS EVERY 24 SECONDS.

❑  All smart meters are not the same. Utilities can send commands to a smart meter by both radio and carrier current communications, depending on the type of meter being used.


SMART METERS 65

FOR GAS AND WATER: ❑  Just like "smart" electricity meters, these water and gas meters often use radio

energy to communicate. They most likely operate in an ISM band under Part 15. ❑  These are extremely low-power devices. Water & gas meters usually operate on

2.4GHz using a very narrow-bandwidth implementation of the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile.

❑  Since gas and water meters are not connected to a source of electrical energy, they both use "scavenger" (impeller) techniques to generate small amounts of electrical power to keep the on-board battery topped off. This approach provides a battery life expectancy of greater than 10 years.

❑  In many cases, the meter is pinged or timed to contact any nearby "smart" electric meter. The smart electric meter can then store their readings and send them upstream to the utility billing system. Although it's usually communicating with the same customer's smart electric meter, it doesn't have to be. The system is "meshed" and can pass data along as required. The “smart meter” in this case will often have two radios under the glass - one for the consumer side at 2.4GHz and one for the utility side at 902-928MHz.


SMART METERS

  Faster outage detection and service restoration

  Greater control by consumer over electric usage coupled with time-based rates to lower rates during peak periods

  Provided detailed information about electric usage and costs to optimize usage

  Reduces potential need to build more power plants

  Eliminates meter readers on personal property

  Meters susceptible to hackers and cyber attacks

  Utility monitoring costs passed on to consumers (installation costs exceed perceived benefits)

  Data provided to third parties (invasion of privacy)

  Installed in all new construction and replaced in existing buildings (creating EMF widespread, dense grids)

  Radiation exposure is higher than cell phones   No protection to over exposure

¤  No federal/state standards ¤  No enforcement or legal recourse Note: Overexposure issues apply to cell

phones, wi-fi, and Extra-low Frequency (ELF)

66



SMART METERS 67

DANGERS   Wireless smart meters typically produce atypical, relatively potent and very short pulsed RF/microwaves whose biological effects have never been fully tested. They emit these millisecond-long RF bursts on average 9,600 times a day with a maximum of 190,000 daily transmissions and a peak level emission two and a half times higher than the stated safety signal, as the California utility Pacific Gas & Electric recognized before that State’s Public Utilities Commission. Thus people in proximity to a smart meter are at risk of significantly greater aggregate exposure than with a cell phone, not to mention the cumulative levels of RF/microwaves that people living near several meters are exposed to.


WiFi SYSTEMS IN SCHOOLS 68

❑  WiFi is a local area wireless technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet using 2.4 GHz UHF and 5 GHz SHF radio waves. The Wi-Fi Alliance defines Wi-Fi as any “wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards.

❑  Only products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing successfully may use Wi-Fi Certified trademark.

Devices that can use WLAN/Wi-Fi: ❑  Computers ❑  Video Game Consoles ❑  Smartphones ❑  Digital Cameras ❑  Tablet Computers ❑  Digital Audio Players


WiFi SYSTEMS IN SCHOOLS 69

❑  Devices can connect to a network access point (a hot spot). It has a range of about 20 meters or 66 feet. Indoors and a greater range outdoors.

❑  Hotspots can be as small as a single room or as large as many square kilometers using multiple overlapping access points.

IN SCHOOL: ❑  A wireless school is fundamentally a different learning environment than a

wired school. ❑  Wi-fi enables new educational practices to emerge because access to the

internet becomes a given. Wi-Fi enables instantaneous communication between students and students, students and teachers, and students and their family members from anywhere in the school.

❑  Wi-Fi allows for initiatives such as 1:1 computing.
