Power station meets opposition

By STEPHEN FORBES - Western Leader | Thursday, 07 August 2008

Controversial plans by Vector to build a new 33,000 volt power substation in Titirangi are being opposed by a number of residents.

The company plans to start work on the station at 515 South Titirangi Rd next year to improve the reliability and quality of the electricity supply.

Nannette Doering has helped form the Substation Action Group in a bid to block the move.

The organisation held a public meeting last week.

High on its list of concerns are fears that electro magnetic fields transmitted from the station will have detrimental health effects.

Wednesday, August 06, 2008

BY LESLIE KWOH
Star-Ledger Staff

Town officials and residents living along the 45-mile stretch Public Service Electric & Gas has chosen for its new high-voltage power line expressed dismay yesterday with the route and lack of public participation in the selection process.

The reactions came one day after PSE&G announced it will install a 500-kilovolt line along a path that starts in Hardwick Township in Warren County and continues through 13 municipalities in Sussex and Morris counties before ending in Roseland in Essex County.

The Cell Tolls for Thee: The truth about the cell-phone–cancer link and what it means for you and your kids

When Vini Khurana, PhD, an Australian (and Mayo Clinic–trained) neurosurgeon, announced that the link between cell-phone use and cancer was irrefutable--the result of his analysis of more than 100 studies--it set off alarm bells around the world. Use a cell phone, he said, and you increase your risk of developing a malignant brain tumor by two to four times. Until recently, the majority of research indicated little or no link between cell phones and cancer (the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society maintain that cell phones pose no threat), but several new long-term studies have cast doubt about their safety. Given that cell phones and PDAs serve as lifelines for so many people--24 percent of 10- and 11-year-olds carry them--it raises urgent questions. To find out what precautions you should take when using your cell phone, we dialed the nation's leading experts.

Was phone-mast report diluted?

Published Date: 30 July 2008

By Staff Copy

St James Court, Halifax.

T-Mobile, the mobile phone giant, has been accused of “burying” a scientific report it commissioned that concluded handsets and masts contribute to cancer and genetic damage.

The report argued that officially recommended limits on radiation exposure should be cut to 1/1000th of those in force. The suggestion has not been taken up by the company or by regulators.
