The emissions damage health
What is the matter with the WHO? Why do they take no notice of the Russians? The NRPB are the same - their chosen rate of emissions exceeds the Russian recommendations 228 times Russians 2µW/cm2 NRPB 450µW/cm2
The Russians have been warning America since the 50s that the emissions damage health, as they had found symptoms amongst people working with electromagnetic frequencies. I cannot understand the protecive agencies not listening.

Celebrations as 02 plan is ditched
JUBILANT West Kirby residents are celebrating victory over telecom giants 02 after plans for construction of a mobile phone mast in the town were thrown out.
Wirral planning committee refused permission for a 15m high telecommunications mast and ancillary equipment to be built in Orrysdale Road, West Kirby.
West Kirby Cllr Jeff Green said the proposed mast would be five metres higher that existing street lights and, with 1.5m high cabinets added to the mast, it would create clutter and be a visual eye-sore.
Anti-mast campaigner Kate Evans said: "I have real concerns about the health implications caused by the use of these masts. It's a pity the Government will not allow the council to refuse applications of health grounds.
"Unfortunately because of the current system there is a presumption in favour of development which over-ride local, environmental and safety concerns. On this occasion common sense prevailed."
The 02 company has the right to appeal against the planning committee decision.
Protestors in Meols have another mast fight on their hands after 02 submitted a third application to sight a tower near to Kingsmead School in Bertram Drive.
Two previous applications have been thrown out by Wirral council planners.

Protest plan over 30m phone mast
Feb 23 2005
By Cathy Reeves
RESIDENTS are planning to stage a demonstration this Friday in protest at a 30m telephone mast.
Planning permission has been granted by Wealden District Council for the pole and ancillary equipment to be put up in the grounds of Mid Sussex Timber yard in Station Road, Forest Row.
Villager Paula Simonis said: "We really don't want it. My first worries are the health risks and the fact that we knew nothing about this. "Villagers feel very aggrieved that it's gone through the way it has. "People feel they haven't had the right to talk about it."
The demonstration is expected to attract a good number of protesters with placards.
Simon Waters, partner at Mid Sussex Timber, insisted no contract had yet been signed with the telephone company and that he would be looking for reassurances about safety before signing any deal.
He said: "I will be making it quite clear to them that if they want the support of the local people then they need to convince the village and ourselves that what they plan to erect would not be detrimental to anyone's health in any way.
"If there's going to be justified huge opposition obviously we wouldn't go ahead.
Mike Davies, community affairs manager for Hutchison 3G UK Ltd, said: "The site itself gained full planning consent with the local authority at the end of 2004. It went through the full planning process."
Mr Davies said there were no objections placed at the time.
He continued: "I think the reality is we will not be changing the location because it was given full consent by authority."
The protest is due to take place at the site on Friday at 3.30pm.

MAST FEARS
Residents up in arms over mobile phone company's proposals
A PROPOSED phone mast upgrade has sparked health fears for elderly and disabled people who live nearby.
Residents of High Craigends and Craigends Court, Kilsyth, including local community councillor Hugh Dempsey, are up in arms after T-Mobile (UK) Limited announced it was planning to upgrade its mast just next to the Celtic Supporters Club.
Mr Dempsey raised the matter at this week's Kilsyth Community Council meeting: "I'm very concerned for the people who live right next to this, most of whom are elderly and have health considerations, and I'm concerned about whether they are going to have any say in the matter," he told the meeting. Members agreed to oppose the move.
Chairman Margot Macmillan said: "There's been a lot of research done but no-one has come out with an absolute answer. The effects are unknown. I'm concerned about this - I think almost everyone is concerned."
Local residents have also told the Chronicle of their worries. Catriona Kilmurray, whose disabled son lives near to the mast, said: "Some of the houses are just two or three metres from the mast – you can practically reach out and touch it. Also, some of this housing is amenity housing – which means it is specially designated for elderly people or those with health needs, so many of these people are already vulnerable which makes the whole thing even more worrying."
The local campaign against the upgrade of the 12.5 metre high mast, has come in the same week that a world renowned professor is visiting Scotland to highlight the issue.
Professor Olle Johansson is calling on the Scottish Executive to suspend the construction of all masts and launch an immediate investigation into the long-term health effects.
Professor Johansson, who is to brief MSPs this week, has said: "In areas where phone masts are commonplace, evidence of health defects, skin conditions, allergies, and caner clusters is extremely worrying."
T-Mobile say the proposed upgrade to the mast is needed to provide 'third generation communications' to the residential area of Kilsyth. A letter from the company to local residents explained: "Third generation has been identified as the future of communications and is being heralded as a major technological breakthrough. This promises a range of high-quality mobile multimedia services with a reliable integration of voice, data and video images. Effectively you will be able to send and receive e-mails, view digital video clips and use a powerful personal organiser and a convenient electronic wallet."
In a statement on residents' health concerns T-Mobile told The Chronicle: "Based on over 40 years research T-Mobile is confident that its base stations, operating within strict international guidelines (recognised by the World Health Organisation) do not present a health risk to any member of the public." "T-Mobile recognises that one of the biggest challenges facing operators in developing a modern telecommuications infrastructure is minimising the impact it has one the environment. At T-Mobile we work hard to try to reduce the visual impact of our base stations and this is why we are upgrading an existing site rather than building a completely new installation."
