1) Mona Nilsson, Chairman Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, has worked with Dr. Lennart Hardell re. EMF and its harmful effects. In this facebook (you don’t have to have a facebook account to access) article she shows the dramatic increase in thyroid cancer since 2010 (smart phones).
In a comment, Ellie Marks, founder of the California Brain Tumor Association, asks for anyone who believes their thyroid cancer is caused by cellphone usage to contact her. Her email is:

2) England has joined a growing list of countries banning use of cellphones at schools [France, Netherlands, Finland and Israel, China, Australia, Ontario and Greece to Ghana, Rwanda: and Uganda.” ] — this list does not include either Canada or the USA. The primary reason is to enhance learning in a safe environment, with no mention of the reduction in the exposure to RF. But any reduction is to be appreciated and encouraged, regardless of the reason.

CELL PHONE USE TO BE BANNED IN SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND
“New guidance from the Department for Education will back head teachers in banning mobile phone use throughout the school day, including at break times, to tackle disruptive behaviour and online bullying while boosting attention during lessons. It aims to support the wider work the government is doing to raise standards in schools by increasing students’ focus and reducing distractions.”

3) As a follow-up to item 2, please see the letter below from Sherry Wright, Director, Canadian Educators for Safe Technology.
4) Wi-Fi in school buses –– little children who are exposed to Wi-Fi all day long in classrooms will be in metal Faraday cages with RF bouncing off walls, adding immensely to their exposure. A homework gap??
Battle brews over FCC plan to bring Wi-Fi to school buses
“Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat, is proposing to clarify a rule to state that the buses are eligible for E-Rate funding.
The program gives schools discounted Wi-Fi access, and Rosenworcel says the proposed clarification would help close the homework gap.”
