One scientist said that given the overwhelming evidence that wireless radiation is harmful, Health Canada staff are either, “unwilling or not competent to make evaluation of the current literature.”<\/p>\n
The article points out that\u00a0Canada’s\u00a0Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health recently completed three days of hearings on\u00a0Canada’s\u00a0safety guidelines, and sent federal scientists back to the office to re-examine\u00a0140 recent studies<\/a>that show wireless radiation emitted by cell phones and WiFi can cause harm.<\/p>\n One oncologist interviewed by the CMAJ said that\u00a0Canada’s\u00a0safety guidelines for wireless radiation need to be “urgently revised” due to the obvious risk of cancer.<\/p>\n The CMAJ article revealed that\u00a0James McNamee, who wrote Health Canada’s safety code, has also co-authored academic papers with scientists who openly accept payments from the wireless industry.<\/p>\n “That\u00a0Canada’s\u00a0wireless safety code is out of date and mired in conflict of interest is no longer a question it’s a fact,” said\u00a0Frank Clegg, CEO of Canadians For Safe Technology (C4ST).<\/p>\n “We’re hoping the Parliamentary Standing Committee will have strong recommendations to fix it,” said Clegg.<\/p>\n SOURCE C4ST: Canadians For Safe Technology<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/rt.newswire.ca\/rt.gif?NewsItemId=C5255&Transmission_Id=201505071513CANADANWCANADAPR_C5255&DateId=20150507\")
