Presentations
This PowerPoint presentation gives an overview of the EMR Network's July 12, 2001 Congressional staff briefing. The subject was "Revisions to the Telecommunications Act of 1996." The goal of the proposed legislation is to restore local zoning authority for mobile phone and broadcast towers and antennas.

This PowerPoint presentation is a visual tour of the impact of towers / antennas at the local level.

 

Information Provided by Wireless Providers
This is the information pamphlet provided by T-Mobile mobile phone provider in answer to questions about the environmental effects of radiofrequency radiation coming from base station antennas. At the end of each topic covered in the pamphlet, this attribution appears: "Information sourced from the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association."

The position on radiofrequency radiation risk to public health found repeatedly throughout the pamphlet is: "The consensus view among experts - both in the United States and internationally - is that exposure to levels emitted by wireless antennas is not hazardous to public health."

Broadcast Blues
Responding to a mandate from the Federal Communications Commission to begin broadcasting digital television signals by the fall of 1999, the affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS plan to put up a new HDTV tower on residential Lookout Mountain, 2000 feet above the city of Denver, Colorado. Residents on Lookout Mountain strongly protest the new tower claiming there is evidence that the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) levels on Lookout Mountain are too high and pose a health threat. Lookout Mountain already hosts 18 towers and more than 450 transmission devices, making it the most complex electromagnetic environment of any residential area in the United States. "No problem," says the FCC, "the standards are acceptable and the broadcasters are in compliance."

Across the country, broadcasters are meeting resistance to their proposed new HDTV transmitters from citizens concerned about the health hazards of excessive EMR. How much is enough? How much is too much? At one time, we asked the same questions about asbestos, radon and tobacco.

Independent filmmaker and Emmy award winner, Len Aitken, chronicled the Lookout Mountain conflict in a one-hour documentary film, Broadcast Blues. VHS $32.00
