Radio and TV signals are a bigger health threat than mobile phone base stations

YOUR letters page has been facilitating a back-and-forth debate on the health effects of mobile phone base stations, and whether there are any.

Whatever the alarmists claim, all the major studies in Britain, America, France, the Nordic countries, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, etc, have come to the same simple conclusion... that no evidence of negative health effects exists. And the consensus view is that no negative health effect is likely to be found.

Even taking the small chance that some effect might possibly be discovered in the future, there is unanimity that it would almost certainly be related to handset use, and not to the base stations.
