“The mast communicates on a two-way basis with a set of phones in its zone. There are typically a dozen channels and four time-slots, so in effect the actual total power is fifty times that of a phone. But because of the inverse-square law, the bottom line is this: If your head is seven times further away from a mobile phone mast than it is from a phone, you are being bombarded by more radiation from the phone than from the mast!

So, if you are right underneath a mobile phone mast in a school playground, you are probably 40ft from the mast aerial, but if you use a mobile phone anywhere at all, you’ve got the phone right near your head, which is very considerably nearer than 7 times.

So, if phone masts are dangerous, then using a mobile phone is reckless and lethal.”

So I assume that these people who are complaining about the health aspects rather than the aesthetics of a mast near their homes do not own or use a mobile?
