Introduction
Its’ the first book that introduces the situations such as base stations densely-covered in Taiwan, records of hazards resulted from improperly-installed HV cables, etc., in order to represent the current situation of electromagnetic radiation hazard in Taiwan. As a part of global village, we welcome assistance from every country’s people who concerns about this, for the purpose of making legislation for a safer electromagnetic-radiation environment.
In Taiwan, numerous protests about transformer stations, HV cables and base stations have been held continuously. Although singular events are probably made by some small groups of people, the number of such events will be considerably large in sum. It may be the environmental issue with the greatest number of most-seriously victimized protesters in Taiwan history. However, due to scattered locations, these protests are not united, resulting in victimized protesters’ never-ending protest transmigration. The mistakenly loose standards and specifications make people have no choice. Because of the numb public departments as well as experts and scholars with conservative perspectives, many victims who suffer from symptom-complex of electromagnetic waves such as cancers have no way to ask for help; they have to die with grievances not clarified. Therefore, many people choose to move away and escape, which has made telecommunication companies and the power company more aggressive in strengthening their expansion. We seem to have no choice but to endure.
Since 1993, Ms. Chen Jiau-hua, a mother and the author of this book, has become an environmental-protection fighter leading this organization, engaging in environmental-protection matters with the mindset of providing a better environment for kids. Ten years later, as a victim and sensitive person to electromagnetic radiation, she begins to promote protective precautions against electromagnetic waves. Her own experiences are written down in this book, a sorrowful record kept step-by-step about the electromagnetic radiation hazard in Taiwan.
Three years ago, Ms. Chen got an Electromagnetic Waves Detector by chance. She used it to detect the surrounding environment, and shockingly found that she was a victim by double electromagnetic waves from HV cables of Ultra-low Frequency and Radio Frequency. After undergoing the painful process of surgical operation and fighting cancer, she has better understanding about the victims’ hardship of mental and physical prostration. Also, she has deeper understanding about the weakness and defects in the lack of protective precaution systems in Taiwan. Hence, she has begun to investigate the hazardous situations everywhere actively. At the same time, she has collected and introduced the systematizations of protective standards in every country around the world. Also, she has begun to connect the Self-help Associations everywhere, plan and establish TEPCA (Taiwan Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard Protection and Control Association), and unit power from all walks of life to endeavor to promote the legislation of electromagnetic waves protection. This book specifies a period of sorrowful Taiwanese history, but it is not an end. We hope that the experiences in this book can be spread in communities and schools, in order to strengthen the entire power of protective precaution and invite many more people to support the promotion of protection legislation, for creating a safer electromagnetic-wave environment jointly. Then, following the sorrow, a promising new era of safer electromagnetic-wave protection will come, which is also this book’s most-important intent.

Personal Foreword
By Chen Jiau-hua, Oct. 1, 2008
This book has records about my experiences in the process of promoting electromagnetic radiation hazard protection and control during recent years. At first, I didn’t care about my painful headaches, eyes, ears and cancer, however, my pain deteriorated; Then, I checked foreign literature and conducted investigations everywhere; I prompt myself to represent the hazardous situations to tell everyone that the damages caused by electromagnetic radiation surely exist.
When I found that I am a sensitive person to electromagnetic radiation, I became fearful of my own “home” which is like a radiative house. After investigating into tens of cases of hazards from base stations, radars and HV cables in many counties and cities around Taiwan during recent years, I can deeply understand the victims’ pain of losing health or bereavement owing to electromagnetic radiation. So, in addition to relieving my own pain, I’ve determined to devote myself in prevention of similar occurrence of such hazards.
In order to promote the legislation of Taiwan Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard Protection and Control, I’ve asked for support from every group on one hand; also, I unite the victims to form the Taiwan Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard Protection and Control Association, and work as the first president. In this book “The Strenuous Long Way— a Way to Resist Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard”, in addition to records of the experiences of interviewing and investigating the hazardous events within the past 3 years, the situations of intensive cancer occurrence-rates caused by base stations and HV cables in Taiwan are represented accurately in detail. Also, we hope to remind the public of strengthening protective precautions.
All the way, we had dismissed the surrounding electromagnetic radiation hazard, published the investigation report on hazards caused by base stations, and assisted in dismantling base stations in several communities, however, it’s still a long way to promote legislation because the society has no common consensus about protective precautions of electromagnetic radiation. Many residents still live under the exposure of electromagnetic radiation, including people in Cigu Yen Cheng who suffer from radars and people who suffer from improper underground HV cables everywhere. It is hard to promote such work currently. We do hope that everyone cares about this issue, to uphold the voice of supporting the weak and protesting environmental radiation hazard.
Introduction to TEPCA
Since 2005, electromagnetic radiation hazard has been noticed by all walks of life gradually. Chen Jiau-hua, former chairwoman of TEPU (Taiwan Environmental Protection Union), unites the victims of electromagnetic radiation, the self-help associations everywhere, and people from every domains who care about electromagnetic radiation hazard, to establish TEPCA (Taiwan Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard Protection and Control Association) on Mar. 29, 2008, a non-profit social group founded in accordance with the law. TEPCA’s intents are: promoting preventions of electromagnetic radiation as well as legislation, strengthening promotion education, research and investigations, caring for victims, hazard prevention and control, international connections, to build a safer electromagnetic-radiation environment further and protect individual’s sacred existence right.
