1978 EPA Report: Efforts to Protect the Public from Radiation
August 17, 2023 | Zero5G.com | A Government Accounting Office (GAO) report on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) efforts to protect the public from exposure to low-level radiation was requested by New York Congressmember Elizabeth Holtzman, in August 1977.
The potential harmful health effects of low-level radiation were recognized and became a subject of national interest.
According to the 15 page report, symptoms attributed to low-level exposure to radiation include, “headache, weariness, dizziness, irritability, emotional instability, partial loss of memory, loss of appetite, cardiovascular effects, electroencephalogram changes, blood chemistry changes, changes in respiration, and possible genetic effects.”
Today there are zero agencies monitoring or measuring radiation to protect public health and environmental safety.
Despite the lack of a protective safety standard and the failure of government agencies to stop radiation, individuals and communities everywhere are organizing to establish strong regulatory barriers at the local level to stop radiation deployments, prevent harm and protect all life.
Efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency To Protect the Public from Environmental Nonionizing Radiation Exposures
“…symptoms attributed to low-level exposure to radiation include, “headache, weariness, dizziness, irritability, emotional instability, partial loss of memory, loss of appetite, cardiovascular effects, electroencephalogram changes, blood chemistry changes, changes in respiration, and possible genetic effects.”
POTENTIAL RADIATION DANGER
“The significance of this radiation to public health depends on the amount of the population exposed, the exposure time, the frequency and the power levels involved. EPA estimates the potential danger from nonionizing radiation has risen dramatically since 1945, when levels were very low…Sources producing radiation which impacts directly on the public include…tens of thousands of search, navigation, and weather radars; hundreds of thousands of microwave communications towers; and millions of microwave ovens…”
