Excerpts from Perceived Disability Protection



(PDF) Grounds of Protection in BC

“Specific disabilities are not named in the statute allowing for a broad interpretation. All major diseases and illnesses are included...

“The duty to accommodate is well established in case law and requires employers and service providers to accommodate special needs short of undue hardship, including those of people with disabilities.

NEW STUDY on Long-Term Use of Mobile and Cordless Phones

Dr. Erica Maller-Blythe – Electomagnetic Radiation, Health and Children 2014 (1:10 mins)
"Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe presented this outstanding talk on electromagnetic fields and their possible effects at a meeting of the Physicians' Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment (PHIRE). In this talk she discussed the difficulty of assessing exposure accurately, the various known mechanistic effects of electromagnetic fields, and the varied susceptibility of human beings to different exposures of various kind. This is one of the best you'll find anywhere at the moment to learn about some of the possible effects of mobile phones, cordless phones, WiFi and tablets, and it's freely available online.”

NEW STUDY
Decreased Survival of Glioma Patients with Astrocytoma Grade IV (Glioblastoma Multiforme) Associated with Long-Term Use of Mobile and Cordless Phones
New report and a call for an increase in IARC classification of RF radiation from a 2a (probable) human carcinogen to a 1—A HUMAN CARCINOGEN!! //
“Highest HR was found for cases with first use before the age of 20 years. These results indicate a survival disadvantage for use of wireless phones in that patient group.”
