font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">Fourteen people living within a mile of a mobile phone mast that emits one of the highest levels of radiation in the country have died of cancer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">Four of the deaths have been in a cul-de-sac yards from the site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">A further 20 residents have developed tumours in the last seven years, although they have survived.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">Those living in the shadow of the mast have begun a campaign for its removal, claiming that it has caused a cancer hotspot. The Health Protection Agency is investigating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">Worried parents are refusing to take their children to the playing fields where the mast is sited for fear of damaging their health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">The mast was erected in 1995 on a disused <strong>water tower<\/strong> on the High Acres estate in Kingswinford, near Dudley, West Midlands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">But campaigners claim health problems started among the 700 residents of the estate when more antennae and dishes were added in 2001.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">It serves four mobile phone operators.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">Experts from the communications watchdog Ofcom, who carried out tests on the mast, say it has the highest radiation level of any phone mast site surveyed in England this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">However, the radiation was still within UK safety guidelines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">Wendy Baggott, 52, who leads a protest group against the mast, which is only 200 yards from her home, said: &#8216;It feels like a threatening presence looming all over the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">&#8216;Over the last seven years there have been 14 cancer deaths in the area. Four of those happened in this road. The wellbeing of the whole community is being affected.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">The retired NHS clinical auditor, whose husband Clive has twice contracted skin cancer, said: &#8216;It is a massive concern to us that there is a children&#8217;s play area so near to it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">&#8216;Parents and grandparents around here won&#8217;t let their children go there because they are terrified they could get cancer.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">One resident, Michael Morris, died from a brain tumour in 2003 aged 57.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">His widow Pamela, 61, said: &#8216;There have been so many people in the neighbourhood who have died of these cancers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">&#8216;Michael used to take the dogs for walks up there by the tower and I wonder if it might have been that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">When these masts came I think it was when he started to go downhill.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">The 14 deaths have included Betty Genner, who was killed by ovarian cancer in 2003 aged 68, and Dorothy Day, 69, who died two years later from cancer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">Six months ago another woman succumbed to a brain tumour. All of them lived within a mile of the mast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">The Government insists mobile phone masts pose no threat to the public.\u00a0\u00a0But some campaigners believe the radiation from masts could be powerful enough to change the composition of body cells, making them more susceptible to cancer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">An Ofcom spokesman said: &#8216;This is the highest level of exposure that we have recorded in England this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">&#8216;The tower recorded levels 5,000 times below the safe exposure limit. It was not an excessive level of radiation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">&#8216;Other results around the country have been found to be around similar levels and this is well within the safety limit.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">A spokesman for the Health Protection Agency said: &#8216;No concerns have been raised by general practitioners or other local health services in the area about any greater than expected numbers or unusual cases of any serious illnesses. &#8216;Further contact is being made with local general practices to confirm that they do not have any specific concerns.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">But Yasmin Skelt, from pressure group Mast Sanity, which campaigns against the spread of mobile phone masts, said: &#8220;The Government keeps refusing to believe there is a problem. China and Russia realise this and keep their limits at a sixtieth of what we have got.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;We are being told nothing about the health effects, agencies that should be helping the British public are not helping. Why are we putting up with it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;\"><a

style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">use for children and teenagers because of the &#8220;continuing uncertainties\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">about the possible health

with a growing number of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">international bodies raising concerns about a possible link between\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">wireless technologies and devices and certain types of cancers, including\u00a0brain cancer. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Health Canada maintains the government&#8217;s limits of human exposure to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radio frequency radiation, set in 1999,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">adequately protect Canadians, including children, so no warning is\u00a0necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Noting the use of cellphones has become common place for children as\u00a0<span

style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The international body representing 492 million people from 27 countries\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">also voted to &#8220;draw attention&#8221; to the recent &#8220;appeal for caution&#8221; from\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Canadian epidemiologist Elisabeth Cardis, co-ordinator of the Interphone\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height:

recommends, as far as children are concerned, that mobile\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">phones should not be used beyond reasonable limits.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In the short term, the parliament is calling on the commission to review &#8220;the\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">scientific basis and adequacy of the EMF

style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">from EMFs has intensified&#8221; since the limits were set in 1999. The report\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">also notes that in the absence of &#8220;definite conclusions&#8221; from the scientific\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">community, China, Russia and at least nine members states of the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">European Union have already lowered allowable exposure limits based on\u00a0a &#8220;preventive&#8221; model. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">In a statement issued Thursday in the wake of the vote, Health Canada\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">said it is constantly reviewing the scientific literature to make sure Canada&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Safety Code 6, which establishes exposure limits. The limits, last revised in\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">1999, remain &#8220;current and valid,&#8221; the department said. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">&#8220;Based on information to date and the weight of evidence from ongoing\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">scientific literature reviewed by Health Canada scientists, the department is\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">confident that the exposure limits specified in Safety Code 6 remain current\u00a0and valid.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Health Canada didn&#8217;t comment specifically on the &#8220;appeal for caution&#8221; put\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">forward by Cardis, but the federal agency said its safety code&#8217;s &#8220;built in\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">margin of safety&#8221; means the limits for public exposure apply to everyone,\u00a0including children. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">&#8220;The limits set out in Safety Code 6 also protect frequent users of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">cellphones as they assume non-stop usage \u2014 24 hours a day, seven days\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">a week \u2014 which is not typical of Canadian cellphone use. As well, tests\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">were performed at peak power levels. Cellphones typically operate at much\u00a0lower levels.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">However, Health Canada said &#8220;parents concerned about their children&#8217;s RF\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">exposure may wish to take extra precautions by limiting the use of cellular\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">phones by their children.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">That&#8217;s not good enough for\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Sharon Noble<\/strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">. She and her husband received\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">assurances from municipal and federal officials a few years ago that Safety\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Code 6 would protect them adequately before they purchased land and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">built on Triangle Mountain in Colwood, nearly Victoria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Their home is located within\u00a0<strong>100 metres of two towers<\/strong>\u00a0with a total of\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">140,000 watts and\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">within one kilometre of 45 transmitters<\/strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">, said Noble. She\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">attributes a high concentration of health problems among neighbours to the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">transmitters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;It should say to Health Canada &#8216;open up your eyes,'&#8221; Noble said of Health\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Canada&#8217;s position in the face of international pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;The United States and Canada are just about the worst in the world.

report says the radiation coming from them poses a threat to human health.\" \/>Cellphone towers have become part of the landscape, but a new report says the radiation coming from them poses a threat to human health.\u00a0(Dick Whipple\/Associated Press)&#8221;The bottom line is that these very chronic low-level intensities are not biologically inert,&#8221; study author Blake Levitt told CBC News.<\/p>\n<p>Levitt, a medical and science journalist, has been studying radio frequency exposures since the 1970s, and has written two books on the subject. Her latest article appeared online Friday in Envrionmental Reviews, a Canadian journal that publishes peer-reviewed papers summarizing previous scientific studies on environmental topics.Levitt says the exponential growth of wireless use and the accompanying low-level signals are a concern. The paper notes there are now 5.5 billion cellphones in use worldwide. In addition to the cell signals, there are also Wi-Fi networks and Wi-Max, which began rolling out in the U.S. last year and uses lower frequencies with higher power densities.<\/p>\n<h3>Similar to cold war embassy bombardment<\/h3>\n<p>The results, according to Levitt, are conditions similar to the intentional irradiation of employees at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow starting in 1953 during the Cold War.\u00a0&#8220;We&#8217;re getting a mirror effect now, because the exposures close to cell towers now are almost identical in frequency, in signalling characteristics and in long-term low-level chronic exposure duration as that early microwave sickness paper from the irradiation of the Moscow embassy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 1978, researchers at Johns Hopkins University published a study on the long-term effects of that radiation exposure and found it led to several serious health problems.

The family lived there happily until the power company began building a larger tower and more powerful transmitter three years ago. The Public Service Board awarded the couple $26,000 for the additional property needed for the new tower. But the couple wanted more, arguing that the microwaves from the tower have destroyed the value of the property.<br \/>\nThe jury agreed, ordering VELCO to pay $1 million in compensation.<\/p>\n<p>VELCO officials say they are considering whether to appeal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wcax.com\/story\/24217219\/jury-awards-vt-family-1m-for-transmission-tower\">http:\/\/www.wcax.com\/story\/24217219\/jury-awards-vt-family-1m-for-transmission-tower<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/stopsmartmeters.org\/2013\/12\/15\/precedent-setting-smart-grid-verdict-jury-awards-vermont-couple-1-mil-for-microwave-taking-of-their-mountaintop-home\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">http:\/\/stopsmartmeters.org\/2013\/12\/15\/precedent-setting-smart-grid-verdict-jury-awards-vermont-couple-1-mil-for-microwave-taking-of-their-mountaintop-home\/<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cell Tower Report &#8211;\u00a0Wireless Radiation Alert Network<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/24352550\/Cell-Tower-Rpt\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/24352550\/Cell-Tower-Rpt\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/24352550\/Cell-Tower-Rpt<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-8ekdbinrcyq\" style=\"max-width:900px;\" class=\"arve\">\n<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n<div style=\"aspect-ratio:500\/281\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.200000%\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-8ekdbinrcyq\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/8eKDbINRCyQ?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505.8\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/8eKDbINRCyQ?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"900\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/emrabc.ca\\\/?page_id=704#arve-youtube-8ekdbinrcyq\",\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\\/embed\\\/8eKDbINRCyQ?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subtitle\" style=\"line-height: 16px;

City Coun. Russ Wyatt connected the dots at the standing committee on property and development meeting on April 14 when he questioned planning department staff who had just presented the supposedly improved Winnipeg antenna systems policy. Wyatt summed up the process as &#8220;draconian,&#8221; as indeed it is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px;\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.22em; font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.22em; font-size: 10.5pt; color: #333333;\">Industry Canada has supreme say on where cell towers can be located and says all is fine health wise if antenna emissions are kept below Safety Code 6 guidelines. However, their website statement &#8220;there is no scientific or medical evidence that a person will experience adverse health effects&#8221; if Safety Code 6 is followed, is misleading. While not having a &#8220;slam dunk&#8221; study showing cause and effects, there are plenty of studies with evidence of potential harm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px;\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.22em; font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.22em; font-size: 10.5pt; color: #333333;\">Safety Code 6 is Canada&#8217;s guideline for &#8220;safe&#8221; exposure to radiation of the kind that is emitted by antennas installed on towers and high buildings and, if the proposed policy is passed, could appear unannounced on a lamp post outside your front door.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px;\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.22em; font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.22em; font-size: 10.5pt; color: #333333;\">Health Canada sets Safety Code 6 and it has been highly secretive about which scientific evidence it uses to assess safety. Appeals to the minister of Health, and access to information requests have failed to uncover this information. Now, finally, the House of Commons standing committee on health (HESA) hearings are shining a light on the inner workings of Health Canada.

line-height: 18px;\">The Houghton Zoning Board of Appeals approved the district&#8217;s request for a variance to build an 80-foot cell tower on the property at its meeting last Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\">The issue next moves to the Houghton County Planning Commission, which would have to approve the site plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\">The American Cancer Society has concluded cell phone towers would be unlikely to cause cancer, due to the low level of radio frequency waves at ground level and the low energy level of radio frequency waves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\">But Kristina Sundstrom, a parent from Chassell, pointed to several sources on the danger posed by cell phones or towers, including a Wall Street Journal article showing 10 percent of cell phone towers emit more radiation than the FCC allows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\">She said she would be pulling her child from the school because of her concerns for safety.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\">&#8220;Have you considered that if just one student at the Houghton Elementary School ends up with a brain tumor or cancer, and there is enough scientific data to file a lawsuit, even if the parents don&#8217;t win in court, the school would have to spend a considerable amount of money in the process?&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\">Parent Lindsay Johnson said the $12,000 a year from the lease wasn&#8217;t enough to justify possible dangers. She also said parents should have been notified about the issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\">Board President Brad Baltensperger said Verizon had approached the district about a year ago. The district saw the tower as a way to obtain additional funds for school district operations, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\">&#8220;The school district, like all other districts in the Upper Peninsula, has been facing serious problems with resources, and we take a serious look not only at all of our expenses, but all of our opportunities to generate revenue that will help us operate the schools in the matter that we feel they should,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px 5px 10px; line-height: 18px;\"><a
