Study to examine TETRA mast risk
United Kingdom Created: 18 Jan 2007
Researchers from the University of Essex are to carry out a two year study to establish if there are any short term health effects from exposure to TETRA mobile radio masts.
The move follows the recent completion of the largest ever scientific study of the health effects of conventional and 3G mobile phone masts, carried out at the University’s Electromagnetics and Health Laboratory. The study tested 176 people under carefully controlled conditions and the results are due to be published later this year.
The project, which has won £265,624 of funding from the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research programme, will examine the effect of the electromagnetic fields emitted by the TETRA system on up to 264 volunteers. Because TETRA is used by the emergency services, the researchers hope to recruit participants from these services.
