Electrosmog pollution

Cell phone interferes with pacemaker

Implant wearers are a high-risk group when it comes to electromagnetic fields, according to a recent report by the HAUFE.de academy. Those affected must inform the employer about the implant so that appropriate safety measures can be taken. This is because even magnetic name tags in the vicinity of the implant, as well as audio/video multimedia devices, can influence a pacemaker, for example. If active implants are placed in close proximity to electrical or transmitting devices such as drills, D-network cell phones, etc., they can be disturbed, according to the Bavarian State Office for Occupational Safety, Health and Safety Technology in its study "Electromagnetic fields in the workplace". According to the so-called Irnich study (12), interference of pacemakers with unipolar and bipolar electrodes by D-network cell phones is possible up to a distance of approx. 20 centimeters, but apparently only during DTX mode (connection setup, pauses in speech), not during normal conversation.

Mobile communications and the social dimensions

The mobile phone myth is no longer just a marginal phenomenon in the technical and health sector. Radiation exposure from mobile communications and electrosmog has now reached a political and social dimension.

Digital dementia due to mobile phone radiation

A few years ago, doctors in South Korea noticed memory, attention and concentration disorders as well as emotional flattening and general dullness in young men who used computers and the internet intensively. They called the clinical picture "digital dementia". Digital assistants take over our mental work, similar to escalators, elevators, cars, etc., which make our physical work easier. The consequences of a lack of physical activity for muscles, heart and circulation have long been known. It is probably similar with our minds, which are no longer needed due to digitalization ...

Resistance to electrosmog

The fear of electrosmog is no longer just the problem of a radiation-sensitive minority. People are increasingly resisting public Wi-Fi, power lines and other facilities that pose a risk to their health.

Springer-Verlag explains about electrosmog

The "Beobachter", a product of Springer-Verlag, is published in Switzerland and is a magazine that reports critically and informatively for its readers.

800 euros monthly pension for woman sensitive to electrosmog

A judge in Toulouse recently recognized the incapacity to work of a 39-year-old woman with electrosensitivity and ruled that she was entitled to a monthly state pension of 800 euros for three years.

Light instead of W-Lan

A year-long research project by the Fraunhofer Institute is now producing encouraging results that may soon make Wi-Fi a thing of the past: Data traffic via light pulses emitted by LED lamps that are imperceptible to the human eye.

Electric poetry

Jan Skudlarek's first volume of poetry as an unconventional view of the world of the 21st century

Electrosmog is the term used to describe all electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields that may have harmful effects on nature and living organisms such as humans and animals. Connoted with great fears and repeatedly appearing in public discourse, electrosmog has also found its way into poetry: Elektrosmog is the title of Jan Skudlarek's volume of poetry published by luxbooks in 2013. In his late twenties, he is a representative of the generation that experienced the rapid development of technology in all areas of life at first hand in their youth, particularly the development of computers, the Internet and cell phones. His poetry makes use of the language of this high-tech world and electronic devices: 'laptop', 'system restart', 'high definition' - these are words that are otherwise rarely encountered in poetry. The technical terms that intensively accompany our everyday lives harbor an unexpected and highly productive type of imagery. Skudlarek links them with subjective experiences or natural phenomena, thereby showing how much not only our way of life but also our view of the world has been influenced by the technology of the last twenty years. His language is not only permeated by Anglicisms and foreign words from the technical field, but also by terms from other technical languages that are not always generally familiar. As "semiotic

Harmonized: Peace Pagoda in New England

On February 1, 2014, we received a request to harmonize the Peace Pagoda near Leverett, Massachusetts, USA. It is New England's Buddhist monastery, the center of an active peace movement with many visitors over the course of a year.
