Mobile Phone Masts Trigger Panic in Bristol, England

August 08, 2007 at 12:02 PM Cancer News

Mobile phone masts might have been declared safe. But there is no knowing. Residents of housing complex in Bristol, England are panic-stricken after three cancer deaths since two masts were erected on the roof of the five-storey block.

Another four are battling the disease. The cancer rate on the top floor - where residents of five of the eight flats have been affected and the three who died all lived - is 20 per cent, ten times the national average.

Besides other residents complain of severe headaches. Cancer or headache, everything suffered by the residents is blamed on the radiation from the masts. The situation is so bad that the block is dubbed the Tower of Doom.

Orange, a service provider, has agreed to move its mast, but only after a five year campaign.

Orange has agreed to remove its mast after a five-year campaign by residents and pressure from the local authority. But it has caused anger with plans to move it to a residential street nearby.

The most recent death was that of John Llewellin, 63, who lost his battle against bowel cancer two weeks ago.

The other victims on the top floor are Hazel Frape, 63, who has had breast cancer, and 89-year-old Phyllis Smith who moved out after she contracted the same disease.

On the fourth floor Bernice Mitchell, 69, has battled womb cancer. On the second floor, 78-year-old Barbara Watts, who has lived in the block for 31 years, is in remission from breast cancer.

The only people who have declared mobile phone masts safe are the mobile phone industry and their loyal supporters. There are hundreds of peer reviewed published studies that demonstrate how radiation from wifi, mobile phones, masts etc causes ill health and cancer. The mobile phone industry would have us believe that all the studies that show these hundreds of positive results did not exist or were somehow irrelevant while all the studies (mostly funded by the mobile phone industry) that show negative results were the only ones worth noting. But this is exactly what the asbestos and tobacco industries did in the last century to safeguard their profits at the expense of a percentage of the population.
