I wonder how many residents of Sheriff Hutton use mobile phones. NIMBY? No!!

Does ‘ath’ think that because he assumes everybody uses mobile phones that masts (and handsets) are therefore safe? Surely the argument is not about NIMBYism but about whether radiation from such masts can be harmful to the people living close by. I have personally seen over a hundred peer reviewed published pieces of scientific research which say yes- this radiation does significantly increase levels of ill health including DNA damage and cancer. 80% of epidemiological studies in the WHO database say the same thing.

There have also been plenty of reports of the mobile phone industry burying such research and funding studies designed to not find such conclusions. They’ve even had they own guy – Mike Repocholi on influential government committees, and even in the WHO -until he resigned under a cloud after it was found he was receiving $150K per year from the phone industry. However by then he had managed to fill the EMF department with phone industry loyal scientists.

I’m sure most people, if given the stark choice between bad mobile reception and a family member developing cancer would be quite happy to use a landline instead.
