3G Masts Safer Than Others, Claims ACA
January 12, 2004 - source: BWCS
Following trouble between mobile operator Hutchison and groups of residents
in Australia, the country’s Communications Authority, the ACA, has moved
to try to calm fears over new 3G masts. According to the fact sheet issued
by the ACA, 3G masts are in fact safer than their 2G counterparts. Experts
acting for the ACA said that the next generation phone masts actually
emit less radiation than those that have been installed for years.
Acting chairman of the ACA Bob Horton said in an article on ZDNet Australia
“The ACA and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency
want to allay any community concern arising from the introduction into
Australia of 3G mobile phone networks, which support video and data calls
in addition to the services supported by other mobile networks.”
According to Horton, “The emission levels produced by 3G transmitters
are considered to be low, with an average radiated power of around 3 watts.
This average power is significantly lower than the power levels of some
other common types of transmitters, such as two-way radios used by taxis
and emergency services."
