In a new post on the Electric Forester blog, Roger Moller BSc.Ind.Eng. discusses whether knowing the precise level of EMR is important in adopting an ALARA approach.

I enjoyed reading the '145 Mobile Reassurances' on your website/ blog - as it is very true that mobile users won't listen to reason. I especially liked reason 38
' I'm glad people like Ben Goldarse tirelessly root out bad science'.
On the piece about problem children - and the children putting their hands to their foreheads when faced with bursts of radiaiton - I witnessed the same thing. I was in a doctors waiting room on two seperate occasions when other adults started using their phones. On that first time when I felt ill from the radiation I instinctively raised my hand to my forehead. I saw a child of about 18 months who was turned away from me do exactly the same thing and start to cry. On a different day - in the second incident - the child was about 3 or 4 - and started to scream loudly when another patient began talking on her phone - I was feeling nauseated and dizzy again as levels of radiation were high - all of the 10 or so adults in that room had mobiles, many were texting - all the phones were on.
When I eventually sasw the doctor I asked if the waiting room could be made a 'safe zone' as I told him about the children who were clearly distressed and I felt they were affected as I was by the levels of radiation in the room. Unfortunately there was no alternative space available, but even if the doctor had been able to do something - going against government guidelines that the radiation is safe - it would have been the hostility from the other patients which would have been the problem.
Even when their own children are being 'zapped' they won't see or hear the truth.

I have repeatedly complained to the GPs at the local surgery about use of phones in the waiting. There is a single small notice in the entrance hall saying 'Please turn off your mobile phone' - it is ignored. There is a TV type screen in the waiting room with health information and every so often a message briefly appears - please turn off your mobile phone' It gets completely ignored. Most patients are far too busy texting or surfing the Internet. On the latest repeat prescription - 'Please let us have your mobile number so that we can send texts to you'!
I have measured levels [peak value] of 4 V/m there. Yes, it gives me a headache. GPs are incredibly ignorant about the harmful effects of the radiation.
