Cancer Clusters, clusters of ill health, depression and even suicide were predicted^[1] several years ago in proximity to Mobile Phone Masts and other Wireless sources of Microwave Radiation. Yet the UK Government has long ignored such warnings.

The extremely sad situation in Kingswinford where another Cancer Cluster has been discovered in proximity to a monster Mobile Phone Mast platform is one of the latest examples ^[2]. This is consistent with the study from 3-4 years ago in Naila in Germany^[3].

The incredibly worrying and increasing suicide cluster in Bridgend^[4] , with the latest suicide just last week, 16^th June 2008^[8], a town with a large concentration of Mobile Phone Masts and town-wide Wi-Fi^[5] (Wi-Fi since 2006 or so) – should be the subject of an open and transparent Public Inquiry looking at all the factors.

The Mobile Phone Industry must be aware of the dangers and health risks themselves – one example being  how, in 2000, The ECOLOG Report^[6,12] (containing damning evidence of harm  from Mobile Phones) – but paid for by T-Mobile in Germany - was not widely published at the time - it re-surfaced quietly into the public domain several years later. In the US Dr. George Carlo, a leading epidemiologist who formerly headed the $28 million Wireless Technology Research (WTR) program funded by the Mobile Phone Industry, warned the Mobile Phone Industry about the dangers in the 1990’s yet his findings were not published^[9].

It is already untenable for the UK Government and the Health Protection Agency [HPA] to ignore the growing amount of evidence of the harm that Mobile Phone Masts are causing. It was for this reason that a Mast Sanity delegation led by Trustee Yasmin Skelt delivered a copy of the BioInitaitive Report^[7] to Downing Street in December 2007 and why she led another delegation to Downing Street 2 weeks ago  demanding immediate action from Gordon Brown.

Trustee Yasmin Skelt said “We are calling on the Health Protection Agency to carry out proper epidemiological studies of suicide[11] and cancer clusters using protocols developed by Dr. Gerd Oberfeld^[10]  (MD).  Researchers need to know where the masts are, how long they have been there and the technical details.  The link between electromagnetic fields and depression has been known since the 1930s”

Mast Sanity is the largest group in the country campaigning for the safe siting of masts and has links with related groups globally. We request and would welcome a meeting with the Prime Minister or his Ministers to discuss maximising safety from mobile telephony for the general population.

Again, Mast Sanity ask the Prime Minister to instruct the Chief Medical Officer and the Health Protection Agency [HPA] to issue warnings to the British public and ensure that Public exposure limits are greatly reduced immediately. Those responsible in Government, the HPA, ICNIRP as well as the Industry will be held to account for their continuing lack of action on this issue, continuing to fail to protect citizens from the health hazards of Electro-Magnetic Fields [EMFs].
