County won't allow 11-story pole on Randallstown High School site

Finding that the risks of building a cell phone tower near tennis courts and athletic fields at Randallstown High School were too great, the Baltimore County Board of Appeals overturned yesterday a zoning commissioner's ruling to allow the project.

Info from a well wisher:

5.8 GHz Dedicated short Range Communication (DSRC) systems for road charging.

After what I read about the mast illness is all in head, I thought I would write to you of something that would be of interest to your organisation.

I would like to inform you of Road Pricing System's infrastructure, nearly £500 million is being spent by the Dept for Transport. Reports which dismiss linkage between health and microwave radiation may be part of a propaganda war to soften the general public to a potential massive increase of microwave antennae to be used for National Road Charging.

The heart of the infrastructure relies on a very high capacity telecoms system. The Highway Agency calls this system the National Road Telecommunications System (NRTS). It is a very wide area fibre optic network with the intention on plugging in the EU standards for road charging transceiver equipment to interogate on-board vehicle transponders, a system known as tag-and-beacon. This is supplemented by the up and coming EU's version of GPS, "Galileo". Enforcement systems will also be using the system.

If the designs are approved, then there will be hundreds if not thousands of
5.8 GHz microwave masts along UK roads starting with the motorway networks. In the DfT Feasibility Reports, it only makes a brief mention of health and safety of the equipment. Higher frequencies mean wide bandwidth and the ability to pump out more energy. The new system will also cater for third parties to use the infrastucture - such as telephone companies. The emphaisi GSM/GPRS technology has been mooted, this may displace 5.8GHz DSRC transmission systems, but they will still use lower frequency microwave (sub 2GHz)

A lot of information can be found on The Association of British Drivers
(ABD) and Manchester Against Road Tolls (MART) websites. The have supplied information to the Sunday Telegraph which gives a detailed account of what is in store and de-mystifies the very technical and verbose DfT Feasibility Report.

Good luck in your campaign.

Maternal amalgam dental fillings as the source of mercury exposure in developing fetus and newborn

Palkovicova L, Ursinyova M, Masanova V, Yu Z, Hertz-Picciotto I. Department of Environmental Medicine, Slovak Medical University, Bratislava, Slovakia.

Dental amalgam is a mercury-based filling containing approximately
50% of metallic mercury (Hg(0)). Human placenta does not represent a real barrier to the transport of Hg(0); hence, fetal exposure occurs as a result of maternal exposure to Hg, with possible subsequent neurodevelopmental disabilities in infants. This study represents a substudy of the international NIH-funded project "Early Childhood Development and polychlorinated biphenyls Exposure in Slovakia". The main aim of this analysis was to assess the relationship between maternal dental amalgam fillings and exposure of the developing fetus to Hg. The study subjects were mother-child pairs (N=99). Questionnaires were administered after delivery, and chemical analyses of Hg were performed in the samples of maternal and cord blood using atomic absorption spectrometry with amalgamation technique. The median values of Hg concentrations were 0.63 mug/l (range 0.14-2.9 mug/l) and 0.80 mug/l (range 0.15-2.54 mug/l) for maternal and cord blood, respectively. None of the cord blood Hg concentrations reached the level considered to be hazardous for neurodevelopmental effects in children exposed to Hg in utero (EPA reference dose for Hg of 5.8 mug/l in cord blood). A strong positive correlation between maternal and cord blood Hg levels was found (rho=0.79; P<0.001). Levels of Hg in the cord blood were significantly associated with the number of maternal amalgam fillings (rho=0.46, P<0.001) and with the number of years since the last filling (rho=-0.37, P<0.001); these associations remained significant after adjustment for maternal age and education.

Dental amalgam fillings in girls and women of reproductive age should be used with caution, to avoid increased prenatal Hg exposure.

Sometimes we have to fight at the distinctly unsexy level of common or garden planning policy and legislation rather than pontificate on the 'higher' ideology which, from much that I read, appears to dictate that health concerns have primacy. Sooner or later, our time will come, but in the meantime we must accept reality.
