The facts about Mobile phones and masts
DarlingtonTown.co.uk are campaigning on behalf of local residents for
the following action to take place. If you can offer any support for the
campaign please contact us directly, we'd love hear from you.
Our campaign consists of the following requirements:
- The public to be correctly informed as to the whereabouts and power
out-put of all mobile phone masts in Darlington
- All hidden mobile phone masts to be identified by way of an identifying
sign on it's external coverings, clearly visible, at eye level
- Darlington Borough Council to purchase metering equipment needed for
the monitoring of the amount of radiation produced by mobile phone masts
in Darlington
- For the monitoring of all mobile phone masts in Darlington to be carried
out periodically and for the information to be made freely available
to the public
- For any mobile phone mast to be switched off with immediate effect
if found to be out of compliance with guidelines set by the ICNIRP or
if anyone is identified with any ill-health symptoms or “subtle
biological changes” that are suspected from 'non-thermal' effects
from mobile phone radiation within it’s location
About the ICNIRP and it's guidelines
- ICNIRP guidelines are produced by an international organisation, they
are not accepted internationally as it is implied - There are many countries
such as Russia, Poland and Sweden, that have much more stringent guidelines
than ICNIRP
- Just because emissions from masts have been measured and found to
be below the ICNIRP guidelines, this does not mean they are safe. There
are non-thermal effects from very low level radiation that is emitted
by mobile phone masts. The guidelines at the moment do not accept that
this is the case at all and therefore the guidelines only represent
the considered effect of heating
