On the contrary phone masts pose a very big health risk. 80% of WHO research proves that this technology is not safe. Over 2000 independent studies, linking phone mast electro magnetic radiation with serious ill health including cancer, confirm that phone masts should not be sited within 350 metres of schools or housing. Numerous studies have proved that melatonin, the cancer fighting hormone, is suppressed by this pulsing radiation. That’s why the cancer clusters continue to increase in the vicinity of phone masts. Phone operators dismiss such research, alleging that their own studies suggest no health risk. However last year the national press revealed that a phone operator covered up the damaging results of their own research. The Ecolog Institute, a research organisation which examines the health effects of mobile phones, was commissioned to investigate the possible health risks of mobile phone masts. The 2003 Ecolog report confirmed:

‘Given the results of the present epidemiological studies, it can be concluded that electromagnetic fields with frequencies in the mobile telecommunications range do play a role in the development of cancer. This is particularly notable for tumours of the central nervous system.’

The industry attempts to persuade us that these mast microwave emissions are safe because they comply with the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines. These international guidelines were only designed for one thing. To protect the Industry and their profits! The ICNIRP guidelines were introduced in 1992 in the technology’s infancy. They were introduced not by scientists, but by technicians. They completely ignored researching the most damaging effects to the human body of these radiation emissions, i.e. measuring the biological, vibrational effects on the human body and damage to cells. They only measured the thermal (heating) effects of the emissions on dead meat! This absurdity is all that stands between us and the risk of life threatening or chronic illness. The (ICNIRP) guidelines as ‘protection’ are equivalent to a fireguard in front of a defective, carbon monoxide emitting gas fire – it might stop you getting burned but you might not be alive to care!

I totally agree with Nicola and J Elliot, Vodafone have been trying to do the same in Market Drayton, their application was kicked out by the local parish council.
No doubt Vodafone will be back,we must be ready.
Contact your councilors your MP and MEP’s.
Dr Rob Matthews gave virtually the same speech except that one side would be safe but was unable to comment about the other.
The distance from the mast to the first building in Norton in Hales would be safe,500 mts but could not comment about the safety of those whose houses are 150 metres from the mast.
500 metres seems to be the safe distance from a mast.
Now you know the safe distance
