We must act on phone and masts health threat

IS it the policy of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to discredit all independent scientific evidence of the adverse health effects caused by non-ionising radiation emissions from telecommunications masts?

The British Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones recently published the Stewart report. This said there were serious questions surrounding the impact of non-ionising radiation emissions on human health and, most notably, that telecommunications masts should not be located near schools and that children under eight should not be allowed to use mobile phones.

A spokesperson for the Department of Communications said there was nothing in the report which caused them concern.
