Mobile Telephone Masts
November 23, 2004 5:10 PM
Richard Porter, Parliamentary Spokesman for Camberwell & Peckham, welcomed the decision of the Department of Health to commission a two year study of the health impact of phone masts. The focus of the research is whether people who are exposed for long periods to low level radiation from masts experience any health effects.
Richard Porter said that "There is a lingering worry that, although no health effects have been established, there is no absolute confidence that most masts are safe. What is needed are rigorously conducted experiments to sort out this question for once and all. Until then residents have every right, and are being rational, to express their concern and to oppose masts close to schools and houses".
