The following is a presentation by Dr. Martin Pall, PhD., Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences, Washington State University, presenting to the Oregon State Legislature House Committee on Health Care. Feb 24, 2014.
[1] The total cumulative amount of RF/EMF microwave radiation in any classroom is what really matters — radiation from all sources: routers, access point and devices.
[2] The FCC RF/EMF microwave radiation guideline is meaningless because it does not consider total cumulative radiation and only applies to one device; it does not consider the total cumulative radiation from all wireless devices in the room.
[3] Senior engineers at the FCC and OSHA have agreed, in writing, how to calculate total cumulative microwave radiation exposure from any wireless device: the peak power density measured 18″ from the device times the total number of pulses transmitted by each antenna of each wireless device over the entire school day times the length (in fractions of seconds) of the duration of each pulse. When you plug in real numbers, the totals are staggering: at least 8 times higher than the current adult maximum public exposure guideline for RF/EMF microwave radiation for every school day (http://rfemf.com/counter.html
[4] We have a Watt problem in our country. Watts, delivered over time, is the measure of how much electricity we use. People, in general, are confused about what is a high power (many Watts) and what is low power (fractions of Watts). We falsely think that a bright 100-Watt light bulb is high power and a dim 25-Watt light bulb is low power. The truth is anything in the range of 1-150 Watts is hugely-high power compared to the electricity our bodies use every day to run our heart, our muscles, our kidneys and our brains.
Our cells operate at picoWatts or one trillionth of a Watt. Said another way it takes ten trillion picoWatts to equal 10 watts, which is the the amount of electricity our FCC guideline allows each Wi-Fi device to shoot into the air and through our children’s brains and bodies at over six million miles per hour. It is not at all surprising that electricity that is
[a] ten trillion times higher than natural levels, and that
[b] shoots through our children at over six million miles per hour
might cause their cells to misfire. You think? That’s what’s happening all day long in classrooms with wireless connectivity. Wireless connectivity creates hazardous conditions for our children.
Wi-Fi is electricity sprayed into the air at very high speeds. It is designed to penetrate through wood, concrete and our children. So if our children are allowed to get 10 watts of electricity through the air from one device, what if we have 24 devices in a classroom? That is 240 watts. Do you want 240 Watts of electricity shooting through your children’s brains and bodies, six hours a day, 180 days per year?
What are our school officials thinking? Wireless signals at the very same levels in classrooms today was used as a weapon in World War II. Our leaders and industry lobbyists just conveniently forgot about that. Apparently, it is more important to have a robust economy based on wireless signals than it is to protect our children’s brains, bodies and future fertility.
Using wired connectivity in schools to distribute our internet traffic through Ethernet wires eliminates this problem. Wireless connectivity offers over 15 times higher bandwidth and much greater security at a lower cost, compared to wired connections. It is a proven solution that exists today.
I called the phone number on the Feb 24, 2014 meeting announcement and spoke to a woman who told me that the HHC-201402241308.ram is a RealPlayer audio file. To play/hear this audio file, I had to download and install the free Realplayer 16 media player software onto my HP/Windows 8 laptop, which I did. RealPlayer can be downloaded for free by clicking the orange button, called “RealPlayer Free Download” at the top right corner of the following page:
http://www.real.com/resources/
I clicked the audio triangle near the top of this page, which downloaded the file called ‘HHC-201402241308.ram’ to my ‘Downloads’ folder. I then double-clicked the file ‘HHC-201402241308.ram’ and it started streaming the 1:08:00 audio file to my RealPlayer software.
I just listened to Dr. Martin Pall’s and Dr. Paul Dart’s excellent 2/24/14 presentation to the State of Oregon’s House Committee On Health Care and read the supporting documents (which I uploaded to my public DropBox for easy access).

I will send this information to all of my school administrators who have the legal responsibility, accountability and liability to provide a safe learning environment for our public schools. I would encourage each of them to spend the 1-2 hours it takes to listen to this presentation, review the supporting materials and then take appropriate, effective actions:
1. Immediately stop all installation of wireless networking equipment and infrastructure in CA public schools and switch these Common Core funds to improving the schools’ existing wired networking infrastructure instead. A very good solution, complete with 3D classroom drawings, can be seen at http://rfemf.com.
2. Ban the use of any educational device that does not offer a wired connectivity option. This leaves a lot of devices on the ‘approved list’: Android tablets, Windows 8 tablets, ChomeOS Chromebooks, any netbooks and any laptops that enable the use of Micro-USB-to-USB-to-Ethernet adapters. This leaves the Apple iPad on the ‘unapproved list’, until Apple creates a Lightning-to-USB-to-Ethernet adapter and sofware driver that will enable wired connectivity. This is a simple problem that Apple could solve in a few months, with enough pressure from schools.
3. Anyone who has the legal responsibility, accountability and liability for providing a safe environment in public schools, please do not ignore this critically important information.

Dear Mr. Torlakson, Mr. Herrington, Mr. Sanderson, Ms. Chlebowski, Mr. Baddely, Ms. Schafer, Ms. Ellis, Mr. Bolman and Ms. Kleinholz,
As you are all responsible, accountable and liable for your poor decisions, inaction, and coordinated cover ups over the last 12 months, it can be established that you directly participated in approving and supervising dangerous wireless connectivity installations with full knowledge of the dangers of RF/EMF microwave radiation exposure to children (documented by thousands of valid, scientific, peer-reviewed studies shared with you back in April/May 2013) and that you did so without first taking any effective steps to evaluate the safety of your actions or to notify the parents of the safety concerns. This is all well-documented on http://rfemf.com.
I am still awaiting a response to my CA Public records request re: the state’s, county’s and local districts’ insurance coverage for health claims from RF/EMF microwave radiation. Is there any insurance coverage for these claims? If not, you are each failing in your fiduciary duties to properly run our schools. You cannot hide this public information. Doing so violates CA Public Records Act, GOVT. CODE §§ 6250-6276.48.
You can do the right thing, as evidenced by at least one responsible school board in Portland Oregon, where I was yesterday. I would strongly suggest that you read the entire email thread, below. You will hopefully learn that going to court to argue for your right to continue to damage children, unnecessarily, when there is a clear, low cost alternative (wired fiber optic/Ethernet connectivity) is not a wise choice for any government employee or elected official. Your jobs and reputations are now on the line.
Would you now like to make any changes to your current technology plans and implementations and spend the recently-authorized $748,000+ in Common Core funds to create higher-bandwidth internet access that is delivered safely to students (over fiber optic/Ethernet wires) or do you want to waste a lot of time and money and eventually be forced to make those changes at great public cost? What is the in the best interests of our children/your students?
Please note, I am not asking what is in the best interests of Apple, Cisco, AT&T or any people or entities collecting inflated profits/kickbacks/incentives from piggyback contracts around the State, which will be excruciatingly dissected during legal proceedings. I wonder what will be uncovered there? Are the prices in the PCSD/AMS.NET contract for equipment and labor the lowest possible and represent the most efficient spend of our public money? No. Who is legally responsible accountable and liable for these errors in judgment? You each are.
I repeat. Your jobs and reputations are now on the line. Will you please do the right thing and take appropriate actions to protect our children/your students?
Drs. Martin Pall and Paul Dart are correct. You need to listen and review the materials from these distinguished scientists’ 2/24/14 presentations to the Oregon Legislature, which you can find at the top of this page
