There is a range of evidence that adverse health effects can result from exposure to interconnected wireless devices and infrastructure that emits nonionizing microwave or radiofrequency radiation (MW/RFR). Adverse effects can include: cancer, impairment of reproduction and child development, amplification of toxicities of other agents, and contribution to chronic disease. Additionally, at exposure levels of MW/RFR commonly tolerated by the general population, some patients experience acute and chronic symptoms including fatigue, tinnitus, headaches, as well as neurological and cardiac dysfunction. A Symposium of experts was convened at Women’s College Hospital, May 31, 2019.

Glyphosate Concerns Persist

Following Health Canada’s refusal to conduct independent review of glyphosate (in Roundup), Canadians objecting to the registration are even more concerned. Prevent Cancer Now first outlined concerns when the International Agency for Research on Cancer determined that glyposate probably causes cancer, in 2015. We commented on re-evaluation, then in 2017 joined a coalition that objected to re-registration of glyphosate, and called for an independent review panel with the original coalition as well as others.

In Remembrance of Sandra Ann Madray

It is with sorrow and a sense of profound loss that we share that Sandra Ann Madray passed away peacefully at home in Winnipeg, with her family at her side, on Friday August 17th. As a Prevent Cancer Now Board member, Sandra was a leader in substantive submissions on specific substances, as well as legislative change.

Patchwork of provincial “cosmetic” pesticide laws leaves a third of Canadians unprotected

A report highlights a patchwork of ‘cosmetic’ pesticides laws across Canada. Roughly a third of Canadians are well protected, and a third not protected at all from this non-essential use of pesticides. The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) gives the provinces of Ontario and Nova Scotia top marks for limiting pesticides to least-toxic products for urban landscapes; Quebec’s Pesticide Code protects children both indoors and outdoors, but only addresses lawns and not gardens; and west of Manitoba no province requires least-toxic options for landscaping.
