Andrew Goldsworthy: Witness Statement April 2010

I am attaching a copy of a Witness Statement that I sent in response to a request from the Standing Committee on Health of the Canadian House of Commons. It covers many aspects of the non-thermal effects of cell phone radiation, but perhaps the most important observation is that the greatest threat to mankind comes from its effects on sperm, which can lead to infertility and progressive genetic damage to future generations. However, unlike the Interphone study, which took many years to reach even inconclusive results, the effects on sperm can be shown clearly in a matter of days and used to assess the biological safety of virtually all forms of wireless telecommunications.

Prof Sadezky in the morning show

-- We have no way to be convinced scientifically because it takes time to develop cancer. For example only in 1994 we knew of the effects of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and I am not comparing between the two radiation types. Scientifially not enough time has passed. But there are red lights that make it suspect.

I am all for manufaturers to fund studies. There is a need to separate manufaturers from marketing companies. In drugs research all the research is done by the pharmaceutical companies and we accept this.

This is not just another study. It cost 19 million Euros, the companies paid 5 million Euros. There is no doubt that there is pressure from the industry, indirect. I have not encountered direct pressure. with 10 cigarettes per day - we don't see cancer after 10 years. There are red lights to enforce precaution.
