RISKS OF MASTS ARE SHOWN IN RESEARCH
This is Somerset
18:00 - 30 June 2005
I applaud the Norton-Radstock town councillors who have rejected plans for a mobile phone mast in First Avenue, Westfield. However, it is a shame that Cllrs Flyff McLaren and Rob Appleyard supported the plans and fail to understand the health risks associated with the electromagnetic radiation emitted from these masts.
They are wrong to suggest there is no evidence of health risks.
Independent research regularly proves this technology is unsafe. Look at the Mast Sanity website for all the evidence.
Cllr Appleyard also fails to understand that the harm from these masts does not come from the power or the heating effect of these emissions.
The concern is the biological effect on the body, the ability to alter human cells.
Brainwave patterns pulse on a similar frequency to the low-level radiation emitted by these masts.
Independent research shows that it is this pulsing frequency of the radiation emitted that causes headaches, sleep disturbance, rashes and fatigue.
More worryingly, it also reduces melatonin, the cancer fighting hormone, being released from the pineal gland. This is why there are ill-health clusters around these masts.
Comparing mast emissions to those from satellite dishes and television aerials is preposterous because their emissions are not pulsed.
Current International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines were adopted by government in 1992, in the technology's infancy, after subjecting animals to 20 minutes of mast electromagnetic radiation and then pronouncing it safe to humans.
These guidelines are set 9,000 times too high - human cells start to be affected at 9,000 times below the current limit.
