Mobile phone towers on top of buildings & rising cancer rates

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23407354-details/Orange+to+remove+mobile+mast+from+

This article talks about the rising cancer rates in the people who live in the proximity of these mobile Phone towers, being set-up all over the town, even on top of residential complexes.

You may want to reject the offers of the mobile phone companies to set-up their towers in your rediential areas.

Orange to remove mobile mast from 'tower of doom', where cancer rate has soared

A mobile phone company is to remove a mast from a block of flats after seven residents were struck down by cancer.

Three have died and another four have battled the disease since two masts were erected on the roof of the five-storey block which has become known locally as the Tower of Doom.

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.

Residents of Berkeley House in Staple Hill, Bristol, also complain of terrible headaches and other ailments which they blame on radiation from the masts.

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 other mast belongs to Vodafone, which has no plans to move it.

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