Health Warning Letters

This forum contains a number of letters aimed at insuring that Phone Operators, landowners, local authorities and the Government are aware of the health risks associated with mobile phone base stations, and TETRA and other telecommunication systems.

Whilst we cannot at this moment in time prove a health risk, the evidence is mounting that the risk exists, indeed many academic reports give clear results of a link to a range of ill health effects. What these letters are about is stamping firmly on those that operate these systems, the land owners, those who make decisions to install them, and those who would profit from the installation's, are aware of the latest research, in this way they cannot down the road argue that they were not aware.

There is an explanation with each letter, of who the intended recipient is, and when and how you who deliver it to them. But please keep in mind this is an on going project,, with the letters being updated on a regular basis to take into account new research, and therefore please regularly visit the site, and resent to the respective recipients on a regular basis.

If you feel that the list of letters would be improved by having a specialist letter then please email us info@planningsanity.co.uk

PLEASE NOTE: Please change documents to suit your campaign, particularly make sure you put the correct date of posting on the letters
