Unofficial survey shows adverse health effects are significantly higher in
the school with the mobile phone mast:
The two schools in the UK:
West Park Primary School, Hartlepool, quite an affluent area, 330 pupils aged
3-11 on the roll. Many households have two wage earners. Mobile phone mast
present for almost 3 years.
Grange Park Primary School, former mining area in Sunderland, Tyne &
Wear, a high unemployment area, over 300 pupils aged 3-11 on the roll. No
mobile phone mast yet, but one is planned for errection soon.
