Gary, Here is a copy of my email to the Daily
Mail which has a bearing on whether there is anything which can be
done. Tony
Blair has given the responsibility to the 'phone companies themselves
and left
everyone else powerless. This is also what he did with the Bank just
after he
promised not to raise taxes. Gill Lyden Dear Sir, Mr.
Brown is pleased to announce a £6 billion
surplus. What happened to the £22 billion Government had from the
‘phone
companies for the next generation of mobile ‘phones? Tony
Blair has handed over responsibility for the proliferation of masts to
people
with a vested interest in the profit generated from these without the
slightest
effort to ensure the safety of the public from the non-thermal
emissions which
the Russians have been telling us cause the health problems found near
many masts.
They have known this since finding the symptoms amongst workers in the
industry
dealing with this matter in the 1950s. The symptoms are: chronic
insomnia,
sleep disturbance and headaches; sore bloodshot eyes and cataracts;
earache,
tinnitus and hearing loss; nausea and vertigo and nosebleeds (the last
particularly amongst children). The Government thinks it will escape
blame for
this, but when the Authorities admit to the truth it will cost
government all
of £22 billion and more in compensation - The People cannot be
hoodwinked for
ever. What is more, our
protective agencies the
NRPB, the ICNIRP and the WHO completely refuse to acknowledge the
Russians
expertise and lower the rate of non-thermal emissions, considering only
the
thermal emissions which do not cause the problems. At the 2004
conference on
‘Harmonisation’ the Russians told them that it was impossible to
harmonise
‘phone systems until they recognised the dangers and lowered these
non-thermal
emissions. International guidelines are as follows:-
|
Country |
µW/cm2 |
International Commission on Non-ionising Radiation (ICNIRP) |
450 |
Australia & New Zealand |
200 |
Italy |
16 |
Poland |
10 |
Toronto Health Board, Canada |
6 |
Switzerland |
4 |
Russia |
2 |
Salzburg Resolution (2002: 19 scientists, 9 countries) |
0.1 |
(For comparison only. TETRA operates around 300-450MHz.) UK now uses
ICNIRP guidelines. For more details on international guidelines, see: Maximum
Limits and Preventive Limits of EMF Radiation, and: COST 244bis report (PDF)
Our Government should be insisting that the NRPB operates a safe level
of these emissions. It would probably mean having more masts, but
surely peoples health would no longer be at risk? It is no good telling
us to exercise, eat less sugar/fat/salt etc. when you are allowing our
health to be destroyed Mr. Blair! You can't expect us to have the
energy to exercise when we've had no sleep. Residents in my village
have been unable to sleep in their bedrooms since the Orange mast was
activated 14 metres from their homes in September 2001!
Mrs. G. Lyden
