Cell Phone fires at Gasstatons!!!! ---- warning for

drivers

 

Passing on this info about cell phone at gas stations:

 

The Shell Oil Company recently issued a warning after

three incidents

in which mobile phones (cell phones) ignited fumes

during fueling

operations.

 

In the first case, the phone was placed on the car's

trunk lid during

fueling; it rang and the ensuing fire destroyed the

car and the

gasoline

pump.

 

In the second, an individual suffered severe burns to

their face when

fumes ignited as they answered a call while refueling

their car.

 

And in the third, an individual suffered burns to the

thigh and groin

as

fumes ignited when the phone, which was in their

pocket, rang while

they

were fueling their car.

 

You should know that:

 

Mobile Phones can ignite fuel or fumes. Mobile phones

that light up

when

switched on or when they ring release enough energy to

provide a spark

for ignition. Mobile phones should not be used in

filling stations, or

when fueling lawn mowers, boat, etc. Mobile phones

should not be used,

or should be turned off, around other materials that

generate flammable

or explosive fumes or dust, i.e., solvents,chemicals,

gases, grain

dust,

etc.

 

Another safety warning you should know about concerns

static

electricity.

 

Below is an email from Pat Cabiling who works at

Chevron Texaco's

Richmond Refinery.

 

Four Rules for Safe Refueling:

1) Turn off engine.

2) Don't smoke.

3) Don't use your cell phone - leave it inside the

vehicle or turn it

off.

4) Don't reenter your vehicle during fueling.

 

Bob Renkes of Petroleum Equipment Institute is working

on a campaign to

try and make people aware of fires as a result of

" static electricity "

at gas pumps. His company has researched 150 cases of

these fires. His

results were very surprising:

1) Out of 150 cases, almost all of them were women.

2) Almost all cases involved the person getting back

in their vehicle

while the nozzle was still pumping gas. When finished

and they went

back

to pull the nozzle out the fire started, as a result

of static.

3) Most had on rubber-soled shoes.

4) Most men never get back in their vehicle until

completely finished.

This is why they are seldom involved in these types of

fires.

5) Don't ever use cell phones when pumping gas

6) It is the vapors that come out of the gas that

cause the fire, when

connected with static charges.

7) There were 29 fires where the vehicle was reentered

and the nozzle

was touched during refueling from a variety of makes

and models - some

resulting in extensive damage to the vehicle, to the

station, and to

the

customer.

8) Seventeen fires that occurred before, during or

immediately after

the

gas cap was removed and before fueling began.

 

Mr. Renkes stresses to NEVER get back into your

vehicle while filling

it

with gas. If you absolutely HAVE to get in your

vehicle while the gas

is

pumping, make sure you get out, close the door

TOUCHING THE METAL,

before you ever pull the nozzle out. This way the

static from your body

will be discharged before you ever remove the nozzle.

 

As mentioned earlier, The Petroleum Equipment

Institute, along with

several other companies now, are really trying to make

the public aware

of this danger.

 

You can find out more information by going to

http://www.pei.org/ Once

there, click in the center of the screen where it says

" Stop Static. "

 

I ask you to please send this information to ALL your

family and

friends, especially those who have kids in the car

with them while

pumping gas. If this were to happen to them, they may

not be able to

get

the children out in time.

You Don't Deserve Brain Cancer-You Deserve Facts!By Amy Worthingtonobserver <observer Your cell phone is a microwave transmitter and it should bear a cancer warning! Microwave energy oscillates at millions to billions of cycles per second. The Journal of Cellular Biochemistry reports that these frequencies cause cancer and other diseases by interfering with cellular DNA and its repair mechanisms. Microwave promotes rapid cell aging. Italian scientists have recently demonstrated that cell phone radiation makes cancerous cells grow aggressively. Cordless phones marked 900 megahertz or 2.4 gigahertz emit the same dangerous microwave radiation as cell phones. The connection between microwave exposure and cancer has been documented for years. During the Cold War, the Soviets irradiated the U.S. embassy in Moscow, Russia, with low level, twin-beam microwave radiation. Two successive ambassadors developed leukemia. Other staffers also developed cancer, or their blood showed DNA damage, which precedes cancer. Research by University of Washington professor Dr. Henry Lai shows brain cells are clearly damaged by microwave levels far below the U.S. government's "safety" guidelines. Dr. Lai notes that even tiny doses of radiofrequency can cumulate over time and lead to harmful effects. He warns that public exposure to radiation from wireless transmitters "should be limited to a minimal." Motorola advises consumers to avoid pointing a cellular antenna toward exposed parts of the body. But independent tests show that cell phones can also leak huge amounts of radiation from the keypad and mouthpiece. This radiation deeply penetrates brain, ear and eye tissues, which are especially susceptible to microwave damage. Belt clip cases allow cell phones to deliver radiation to the liver or kidney areas when a wired, hands-free earpiece is used. Recent studies confirm that cell and cordless phone microwave can: *Cause headaches and induce extreme fatigue *Cause memory loss and mental confusion *Precipitate cataracts, retina damage and eye cancer *Create burning sensation and rash on the skin *Damage nerves in the scalp *Induce ringing in the ears, impair sense of smell *Create joint pain, muscle spasms and tremors *Cause digestive problems and raise bad cholesterol levels *Alter the brain's electrical activity during sleep *Open the blood-brain barrier to viruses and toxins *Cause blood cells to leak hemoglobin *Reduce the number and efficiency of white blood cells *Stimulate asthma by producing histamine in mast cells *Stress the endocrine system, especially pancreas, thyroid, ovaries, testes In 1993, the telecom industry committed $25 million dollars for a series of research projects designed to prove that cell phones are safe. The studies proved just the opposite! They proved that federal microwave exposure standards are dangerously inadequate. Cell damage and tumors can be easily induced in the lab at about one third of the FCC's exposure guidelines. The telecom boys panicked. They and their lackey politicians and federal regulators decided the only lucrative thing to do was to LIE and DENY. Despite damning evidence, the FDA still prevaricates: "There is no reason to conclude that there are health risks posed by cell phones to consumers." Meantime, the telecom industry has been pressing to INCREASE BY MORE THAN 10 TIMES the allowable human exposure to cell phone radiation! Luckily, Dr. George Carlo headed up the industry's study project. He presents the shocking facts in his book, Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age: An Insiders's Alarming Discoveries About Cancer and Genetic Damage (Carroll and Graf, 2001). A summary of Dr. Carlo's book is this: Cell phones are hot, adequate protective regulations are naught, and Americans are being "fried" so that the deceitful telecom industry can rake it in! It's dirty business as usual, and the longer the industry can con the public, the more billions it collects. On June 16, 2002, CBS aired a Sixty Minutes segment which confirmed the telecom industry is about grungy as it gets. CBS producers accused major phone service providers of cheating, scamming, forging signatures, switching phone service without permission and lying about charges. The attorney general of Connecticut stated that despite millions of dollars in fines each year, these companies remains incorrigible. Should we be trusting this industry with our brain tissues and our very lives? Microwave to the head is extremely hazardous to children. Parents in some European nations are now warned to keep children away from cell phones. A University of Utah researcher found the younger the child, the more radiation is absorbed by the brain. Spanish researchers have shown that cell phones can alter electrical activity of a child's brain for hours, causing drastic mood changes and possible behavior and learning disabilities. Scientists fear that cell phone radiation could damage human embryos. Pregnant women are advised to be wary. A cell phone must greatly increase its field strength to maintain communications within the metallic cage of an auto. Thus, the effect of microwave radiation inside a vehicle is especially intense. Volkswagen of Europe has warned that cell phone usage inside a car can be "injurious to health due to the extremely high electromagnetic fields generated." Insurance studies in England showed that an average driver talking on a cell is actually more impaired in function and reaction time than a drunk. Finland's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority reports that one hour of exposure to mobile phone radiation can cause human cells to shrink. Researchers believe this is due to increased protein activity, an indicator of cell damage. What an unstable world needs now is a global population afflicted with incredible shrinking brains! Brain cancer rates in USA have increased by 25% since 1975. In 2001, 185,000 Americans were diagnosed with some form of brain cancer. A grade four brain tumor can grow from the size of a grape to tennis ball size in just 4 months. Brain tumors are almost always fatal and most people die within 6-12 months after diagnosis. On April 7, 2002, Sixty Minutes aired a fascinating report on brain cancer, explaining that scientists are unsure why incidence of the disease is growing so exponentially. Ironically, the segment was followed by a Sprint ad, which advised parents that the best way to keep track of teenagers is to connect them to a cell phone. While researchers say that radical damage to the brain can occur within the first few minutes of conversation, telecom ads encourage customers to spend many hours on the phone each month. Those blazing, full-page cell phone ads in newspapers and magazines must be the reason cell phone dangers are almost never discussed in the mainstream media. An excellent resource tool is Robert Kane's book Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette (Vantage Press, 2001). As a telecommunications expert, Kane presents an impressive collection of studies showing that both government agencies and cell phone manufacturers KNEW YEARS AGO that cell phone radiation at present exposure levels is dangerous to human health. He notes that cell phones would be rendered useless if their RF emissions were reduced to safe levels. Reports of illness from heavy cell phone usage and from living or working close to powerful RF transmitters are synchronous with numerous cancer-related lawsuits now being filed against the cell phone industry. The insurance industry sees big trouble ahead. Underwriters for Lloyd's of London refuse to insure phone manufacturers against damage to users' health. Cell phones are today what tobacco was 40 years ago. While research and debate continues, cell phone users have three basic choices: 1. Continue heavy microwave bombardment of brain tissues until disastrous health effects become obvious and irreversible. 2. Reduce cell phone usage to under 2-3 minutes per day and never use hicle. 3. Obtain a hands-free speaker phone and keep it away from the body. Everyone in the room can hear your two-way conversation, but less privacy sure beats brain fog, blindness and cancer! Excellent web sites offering up-to-date scientific data on microwave and other radiation issues are: (1)www.energyfields.org (2)www.microwavenews.com (3)www.emrnetwork.org (4)www.wave-guide.org. E-mail guru <guru and ask for free updates on important radiation issues and studies. Dr. Lai's e-mail is hlai <hlai. Powerful microwave energy directed at homes, offices and schools can flow right through windows and walls. Microwave meters and mitigation devices are available at: lessemf <lessemf and www.trifield.com <http://www.trifield.com>. A specialized RF meter (in the $300 range) is useful for avoiding some environmental exposure and for keeping the interior of your home safe. Turn your microwave meter on when you drive. You will discover that from coast to coast, Americans are being bombarded with communications radiation in the microwave spectrum, just like those lucky embassy workers in Moscow who ended up so very sick. USA is having a real "blast" so to speak! And it is going to get worse as wireless technologies broaden. It is in everyone's best interest to share the above information with the uninformed. Some people appear to have an almost pathological emotional attachment to their cell phones and there is a fascinating suggestion that cell radiation pulses might actually be addictive to the human brain. We can't save those who would rather die than switch. But ethics compelled us to ensure that all reasonable people have access to the basic scientific facts.
