India: cellphones generate radiation, send a text message instead

Is your cellphone bad for your health? India's government seems to think so, because it's planning a law that will require all phones to display how much electro-magnetic radiation they generate. Radiation is measured in SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) and the Indian limit has been lowered to match the USA's 1.6W/kg, whereas before it followed the European ceiling of 2W/kg. But even handsets that meet this criterion may have to declare their SAR level, and also carry a message asking people to keep their calls or short or use SMS instead -- implying that the Indian government regards radiation as dangerous at any level.

EU airline carbon charge 'valid'

21 December 2011 Last updated at 06:00 ET

EU plans to levy an emissions tax on airlines are valid, according to the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

The decision means all airlines flying to and from the 27 states of the European Union will face a tax on emissions from 1 January.

US, Canadian and other carriers argue the charges violate climate change and aviation pacts.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a warning of "appropriate action" should the charges go ahead.

American carriers argue that the taxes contravene the Open Skies Agreement, which allows airlines to fly between any EU country and any point in the US.

No delay

Airlines will now be subject to the Emissions Trading System (ETS), used to charge industries such as oil refineries, power stations and steel works for CO2 emissions, as part of Europe's efforts against climate change.

"Application of the emissions trading scheme to aviation infringes neither the principles of customary international law at issue nor the Open Skies Agreement" across the Atlantic, the court decided.

"It is only if the operators of such aircraft choose to operate a commercial air route arriving at or departing from an airport situated in the EU that they are subject to the emissions trading scheme," it added.

As a result of this choice, the EU system "infringes neither the principle of territoriality nor the sovereignty of third states, since the scheme is applicable to the operators only when their aircraft are physically in the territory of one of the member states of the EU".

The EU has made it clear that it will not bow to US pressure following Wednesday's decision.

"We will neither abandon nor delay (the Emissions Trading System). The measure will fully enter force on January 1, 2012," said the spokesman for EU climate change commissioner, Connie Hedegaard.
