Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard

This is a book written by a friend. It reminds me that there are still tremendous amount of unknown stuffs we are using daily that might hurt our health.

Introduction

It's the first book that introduces the situations such as base stations densely-covered in Taiwan, records of hazards resulted from improperly-installed HV cables, etc., in order to represent the current situation of electromagnetic radiation hazard in Taiwan. As a part of global village, we welcome assistance from every country’s people who concerns about this, for the purpose of making legislation for a safer electromagnetic-radiation environment.

In Taiwan, numerous protests about transformer stations, HV cables and base stations have been held continuously. Although singular events are probably made by some small groups of people, the number of such events will be considerably large in sum. It may be the environmental issue with the greatest number of most-seriously victimized protesters in Taiwan history. However, due to scattered locations, these protests are not united, resulting in victimized protesters’ never-ending protest transmigration. The mistakenly loose standards and specifications make people have no choice. Because of the numb public departments as well as experts and scholars with conservative perspectives, many victims who suffer from symptom-complex of electromagnetic waves such as cancers have no way to ask for help; they have to die with grievances not clarified. Therefore, many people choose to move away and escape, which has made telecommunication companies and the power company more aggressive in strengthening their expansion. We seem to have no choice but to endure.

Since 1993, Ms. Chen Jiau-hua, a mother and the author of this book, has become an environmental-protection fighter leading this organization, engaging in environmental-protection matters with the mindset of providing a better environment for kids. Ten years later, as a victim and sensitive person to electromagnetic radiation, she begins to promote protective precautions against electromagnetic waves. Her own experiences are written down in this book, a sorrowful record kept step-by-step about the electromagnetic radiation hazard in Taiwan.
Three years ago, Ms. Chen got an Electromagnetic Waves Detector by chance. She used it to detect the surrounding environment, and shockingly found that she was a victim by double electromagnetic waves from HV cables of Ultra-low Frequency and Radio Frequency. After undergoing the painful process of surgical operation and fighting cancer, she has better understanding about the victims’ hardship of mental and physical prostration. Also, she has deeper understanding about the weakness and defects in the lack of protective precaution systems in Taiwan. Hence, she has begun to investigate the hazardous situations everywhere actively. At the same time, she has collected and introduced the systematizations of protective standards in every country around the world. Also, she has begun to connect the Self-help Associations everywhere, plan and establish TEPCA (Taiwan Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard Protection and Control Association), and unit power from all walks of life to endeavor to promote the legislation of electromagnetic waves protection. This book specifies a period of sorrowful Taiwanese history, but it is not an end. We hope that the experiences in this book can be spread in communities and schools, in order to strengthen the entire power of protective precaution and invite many more people to support the promotion of protection legislation, for creating a safer electromagnetic-wave environment jointly. Then, following the sorrow, a promising new era of safer electromagnetic-wave protection will come, which is also this book’s most-important intent.

PS. We welcome people in every country to assist in translating and publishing this book. Please contact with the author via e-mail: jiauhua@ms18.hinet.net
