A meeting of international scientists has endorsed a statement recognising risks from EMR and endorsing a precautionary approach. Exposure to electromagnetic fields can increase cancer risks in children and health problems in adults, and mobile phone raidaiton may contribute to brain tumours. These are among the effects identified by a group of international scientists in a statement known as the Benevento Resolution.

Also on 12 August, the Democrats called on the Senate to empower the ACA to “reject mobile phone towers being build near community sensitive sites such as hospitals, schools and residential areas.” Senator John Cherry, the party’s Communications spokesperson, referred to the ongoing legal action at Oatley. “It should not take three court cases and a loophole in the Telecommunications Act for a local authority to be able to defend the right of a community, to prevent a mobile phone tower

The provisioins of the ACIF Code for the Deployment of Radiocommunications Infrastructure will shortly come into effect. More than three years after the project was begun, the Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) Code for the Deployment of Radiocommunications Infrastructure is about to be implemented. Commenced in December 1999, completed in March 2002, registered by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) on 10 October last year,

In light of recent scientific evidence of risk, several eminent scientists have recommended precautions when using mobile phones including restrictions on their use by children. As governments and industries remind us, there is “no conclusive proof” that the radiation from mobile phones causes health problems and they dismiss any possibility of risk at athermal (non-heating) levels of radiation.

At a conference in Italy at the end of last year, Roman Catholic Bishops resolved to ban mobile phone antennas from all churches in the country. “Even if the scientific facts are not evident yet it was thought best to avoid the possible risks of magnetic radiation”, said a spokesman for the Bishops. In the UK, the Church of England is considering a similar ban.

The Senate Committee received submissions and heard oral presenations in three capitals. Here are the highlights. Dr Peter French. Dr Peter French and Dr David McKenzie advanced a new and compelling model which links mobile phone radiation to the development of cancer. “The support for this link is based firmly on the peer reviewed and published work of other scientists internationally, and supported by observations in our own laboratory.” The first of a sequence of events occurs when th...
