Many doctors and scientists worldwide believe there is a very real and significant risk to the general health of the public, wildlife and the environment.
There is a very significant body of research published reinforcing the hypothesis that mobile phone mast emissions are detrimental to health demonstrating that radiation exposures set within the current thermal ICNIRP guidelines can increase the probability of developing diseases following long term exposures, mainly cancer, tumours, and genetic damage.
The Stewart report is riddled with warning bells and caveats. So here are a few extracts (with for convenience) their respective paragraph number references.
"1.19 We conclude it is not possible at present to say that exposure to RF radiation, even at levels below national guidelines, is totally without potential adverse health effects, and that the gaps in knowledge are sufficient to justify a precautionary approach.
1.20 We recommend a precautionary approach to the use of mobile phone technologies be adopted until much more detailed and scientifically robust information on any health effects becomes available
1.31 We are concerned at the indirect adverse impact which current planning procedures are having on those who have been, or are, subjected to the often insensitive siting of base stations. Adverse
impacts on the local environment may adversely impact on the public’s well-being as much as any direct health effects.
1.56 Concerns have been expressed that the pulsed nature of signals from mobile phones and masts may have an impact on brain function. This is an intriguing possibility, which deserves further research, particularly if pulsed signals continue to be used in the third generation of phones and related technologies.
6.39 We conclude it is not possible at present to say exposure to RF radiation, even at levels below national guidelines, is totally without potential adverse health effects, and that the gaps in knowledge are sufficient to justify a precautionary approach.
6.40 In the light of the above considerations we recommend a precautionary approach to the use of mobile phone technologies be adopted until much more detailed and scientifically robust information on any health effects becomes available.
6.44 Although it seems highly unlikely low levels of RF radiation from base stations would have significant, direct adverse effects on health, the possibility of harm from exposures insufficient to cause important heating of tissues cannot yet be ruled out with confidence. Furthermore, the anxieties that some people feel when this uncertainty is ignored can in themselves affect their well-being.
6.54 We recommend that particular attention should be paid initially to the auditing of base stations near to schools and other sensitive sites.
6.63 It was suggested to us children might be especially vulnerable to any adverse effects of RF radiation. There is evidence that at the frequencies used in mobile phone technology, children will absorb more energy per kilogram of body weight from an external electromagnetic field than adults (see paragraph 4.37). A one year old could absorb around double, and a five year old around 60%, more than an adult. Additionally, since children are being exposed to RF radiation from base stations (and from mobile phones) from a younger age than adults, they will have a longer time in which to accumulate exposure over the course of their lives, and a longer time for any delayed effects of exposure to develop."
Finally I would like to end on a personal note. I have no doubt in my mind that I am a victim to long term exposure to radiation from a phone mast. In November, 2001 I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38 with no history of breast cancer in my family and living a healthy life style.
I am now almost ten years clear of this terrible disease and it had an enormous impact on my life and the lives of my friends, family and neighbours. It has been a long hard battle not only against breast cancer, but also against the insensitive siting of the T-Mobile phone mast which was 100 metres from my home.
Out of the eighteen houses surrounding the mast at up to a range of 500 metres, 77% of the tiny hamlet had health related illness believed to be as a result of radiation from the mast. The out break of illness occurred in 2001 after seven years of exposure to the radiation emitted by the T-Mobile mast. We are now in contact/communication with many people who claim to be suffering from this form of radiation throughout the UK and throughout the world.

. If you feel as strongly PLEASE SEND YOUR COMMENTS AND OBJECTIONS IN BY THIS MONDAY - 9TH JANUARY - LATEST!!! Yes that's how little time they've provided for objections....and somewhat cunningly over the festive period.
I just wanted to make people aware that this is happening as the proposal was going through over the festive period, plus it has been very poorly publicised in my view. 
yet they are not appearing on the Wandsworth Planning web portal along with the ones already there. You can see in the online case file 2011/5259. Perhaps worthy of a follow up call....I'd hate to think that objections could be errr "lost"!! 
Remember that Asbestos was deemed to be of absolutely no hazard to health for many many years!!
