Hello! great idea of color of this siyte!

Latest comment (no, nothing really new here) is on NewsWireless now.

Thanks for posting those links. I've quoted one of them. If you do know where the Swiss research was actually published...?

in response to guy's kewney's message which included "...that cellphone masts have yet produced any detectable damage to humans" - can i just say that the page here http://www.starweave.com/masts/ lists six scientific studies that indicate otherwise

mastsanity.org has downloadable documents and webpages featuring other scientific studies that show they cause harm.

i freely admit there is a debate about this - as there no doubt was about smoking, thalidomide, asbestos, etc - but until we know for sure, let's be cautious.

thanks.

The usual argument that you hear is that a mobile phone mast is 100 watts (for example) and the mobile phone is 0.5 watts therefore the phone mast is more dangerous. But look at a 100 watt lamp outside a house over the road, does it hurt you eyes to look at it in the dark? Then hold a small torch an inch in front of your eye and see if that hurts? That is the square law effect, low power close can put a high field strength than something with much more power but a distance away.

I'm glad at least that the thing isn't unsightly!

:-)

If you do the mathematics, by the way, you'll discover that the amount of radio the mast puts through you is a lot less than your own phone does... and if you live within a mile of a TV mast, that will give you 100 times as much "radiation".

So I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, frankly.

the phone mast is now up and 'disguised' as a telegraph pole. actually, though the concept seems ludicrous, i think this'll help property prices, as, though i can now spot similar masts around and about, previously i wouldn't have noticed a telegraph pole (even though there are no wires leading to and from it).

Sorry about not answering messages here! - the site has been under attack by spammers.

First, be clear about one thing: I'm not able to offer advice. I can only tell you what I personally think, and how I behave; if my radioactive body is found in a dump, you'll know I was wrong.

But I'm happy to tell you what I think.

First, I think that if you have a conspicuous mast near your house, your house value will be affected. There really are people who won't pay for a house they see as being radiation-affected. Whether their fears are sound or based on fantasy isn't the point! - they won't buy the house.

Second, I don't believe that cellphone masts have yet produced any detectable damage to humans. I don't say that one day, we won't find something unpleasant about cellphones; but I'm pretty sure we don't know of any such effect yet.

So "what is the safe distance?" - nobody knows what would be a dangerous distance, yet.

Jennie: the "radiation" from masts is all radio. They are different from BBC radio waves because they are ultra-short wave radio, and yes, they fall into the microwave category. And many, many people have tried to find a way of measuring the damage, if any, that can result, but the only results have been controversy and disagreement.

My own feeling: you should worry more about the fumes from the cars outside your window, and the risk of thunder. Even if there is a detectable amount of damage one day (I don't think there is, yet) it's pretty clear that it's not something that happens overnight, or even over a period of five or ten years. Study the matter, make up your own mind; but I wouldn't panic.

It's very difficult to find out anything concrete about this situation. I am about to have a mast erected 10 meters from my bedroom window and numerous searches on the internet seem to indicate that this is incredibly bad news from a health point of view. Those who stand to make money from masts, however, insist that they are great and perfectly safe. I think property process depends on the area and the size of the mast.

A phone mast is soon to be eracted in my neighbourhood and I live about 100 metres away. Firstly, what, if any, is a safe distance away from the mast? Secondly, what is generally the impact of phone masts on property prices in an area? I am very concerned about my family's health and our financial investment!

I am very confused by the terms being used to discribe the radiation from phone masks, is it micro waves, or radio waves, or what?. also dose anyone know how to test the levels we are being exposed to?

A firm opposite my office window have recently erected a mast on their roof, putting it some 20 meters away. I am sitting in this 'fall out' area for for up to 10 hrs a day, five days a week.

As I don't know how much danger I am in, should I err on the side of caution and quit my job. If people like me do that, how much will it cost industry and the government?

hi there,
we are a company based in Iran and decide to get the monopoly of wind up mobile chargers from the manufacturer . but as always the problem is : "WHERE IS THE MANUFACTURER?!"
thanks to the world of internet, nobody can easily contact the real manufacturers!!!

SO....does anyone here can help me where or how can I find the manufacturer address??

I appreciate your help and thanks for reading ,

I wonder how the field strength from some of the 100+kW Broadcast TV stations compare to that of a typical 10 or 20 watt GSM Base Station? What about the Microwave set in the kitchen; this probably leaks a few watts and you could be standing right by it! Lastly, if a Base Station is going to boil your brain what about all those motorists driving around with a GSM handset clamped to the side of their face.

I can't take the 'radiation threat' seriously. I'll respect those who do - providing they are non-smokers, and don't use handheld mobiles (at all) and definitely not while driving on the same roads that I use.

Alan,
My own feeling is that you can't overcome these perceptions.

As I understand it, the only way we can ever be sure about mobile phone radio waves is if statistical research builds up, showing a clear correlation - as we got with cigarettes and health - between exposure and illness.

So far, there's no such data, just fears.

We can't provide the data, but we can, at least, reduce the fears. Making the phone transmitters less powerful would be one positive thing to do. And making them less conspicuous would mean that people wouldn't fear the impact on the property prices.

What else is possible? We can't disable the mobile phone networks!

 

just read your wireless news, seems like a good idea, but how do you overcome questions and perceptions of additional local radio waves damaging health?

Regards and good luck,

Alan Westmuckett

Call me cynical* but I think we aren't going to resolve the question of whether mobile phones are a danger to health any day soon.

But I do think we can stop it being quite as much of a problem, if we stop making the masts so conspicuous, or so big!

Is that sweeping the mess under the carpet?
