On October 4, 2011, Health Canada issued a warning for those under the age of 18 to limit their cell phone use. Click here for document. This warning comes 5 months (May 31, 2011) after the World Health Organization classified radio frequency radiation as a possible human carcinogen and it comes more than a year after cell phone providers issued warnings about the use of cell phones in their user manuals.
If Health Canada truly cared about the health of Canadians, this is what they would do.
1. They would issue a warning (similar to that Council of Europe) that wireless routers be replaced with wired routers for internet access in schools, at home, and at work. No one should be exposed for hours each day to pulsed microwave radiation generated by Wi-Fi routers. For places that need to have wireless routers, they should use the patent issued to Swisscom for their "on demand" routers that radiate only when in use.
10 recommendations are provided. To read more visit:

Subject: Health Canada information - The Safety of Compact Fluorescent Lamps
Check out this info
that Health Canada put out about the CFL mercury light bulbs. They
even put how to clean it up and dispose of it right out in plain
site. What if one breaks while children are unattended. Do people
have to
train their kids how to protect themselves from something we don't
need in light bulbs. What we have works fine and should not be
done away with. This
is insane and it is right on Health Canada's website. If
I were them I would be embarrassed to say I approved this as safe.
I wonder if these warnings come with the light bulbs when you buy
them?????
I thought you might be interested in this Health
Canada information. See
