Letter to Dr. Perry Kendall from Olle Johansson
Karolinska Institutet
Original Letter
Attached is a second letter from Dr. Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Instutet in Sweden, to Perry Kendall, B.C.'s Public Health Officer. It discusses the reality of how a public health officer must protect those he serves -- the public.
It was written in response to reassurances from Dr. Kendall as follows:
From Dr. Kendall:
"Dear Dr Johansson,
My apologies for the delay in responding to your communication. In 2011, I requested that Canada's National Collaborating Centre on Environment and Health undertake a review of the relevant material on RF/EMF radiation. That review is comprehensive and has been ongoing for much of the past year. It includes the papers and reports that you cite, as well as additional papers submitted to my office during 2012. I anticipate that this review will be available in the near future.
Should that review indicate that there is cause for concern or that the health of the public, or subsections of the public, is at risk from present levels of exposure, I would use my authorities under the Public health Act to make appropriate recommendations.
Sincerely
Perry Kendall
OBC, MBBS, MSc, FRCPC
Provincial Health Officer
Ministry of Health"
