Luke, You should check out articles on the increase in sickness and death of residents of Ouruhia Christchurch when additional Radio towers and FM Transmitters were introduced into their community. Much of the incidences of sickness and death reduced when the additional Radio towers were removed years later.

I supect the Radio towers in Titahi Bay Hills transmit overhead the residents. However I do not know of any studies that confirm that they are 100% unaffected.

Get over it it's only 2kw. Titahi bay residents have National Radio blurting out at 100kw. The world is full of moaners

I had a Cell Phone Tower installed opposite my home last month under non-notified resource consent and have now developed Tinnitus which is a ringing in the ears. The ringing is particularly loud in my lounge (which has high radiation readings) but subsides in other parts of my house. I have made an appointment with an Audiologist to determine the extent of damage and how to address it. Health effects are very real and needs to be taken seriously by all in Council as I would not wish this upon anyone!!!!

I have an Information Technology background which spans 17 years, an Information Engineering Degree which has IPENZ recognition, have installed low frequency base stations in the past and understand the technologies in use. I am one of the biggest fans of technology but have always been wary of RF exposure from my cell phone, base stations, AM/FM transmitters. When I completed my degree at University it was unofficially accepted that long term exposure to various levels of RF may cause cancer. The practice is to adopt a precautionary approach in which exposure can be minimised by a suitable distance thus enabling society to benefit from the technology. Putting Antenna in front of homes and schools exposes people to the maximum ground level radiation output at the TWO peaks which occur. This is seriously creating a health hazard for our communities and it is quite surreal to see it happening.

Since the tower was installed I have made measurements of the power output, distances achieved, spoke to other affected residents, researched the regulations, the Health concerns, NZ standards, International standards, the industry strategies and the politics around this. I made a request to present this to Council, after consideration this was denied by Council as it was deemed repetitious. How could my study be repetitious when they had not even received it.

Tomorrow I understand an independent RF expert Dr David Black will be addressing council to advise on the Health Concerns. I also understand that he has worked for various Telecommunication providers in an advisory capacity. It is unfair that Dr David Black is allowed to address Council and me as an affected resident cannot be heard. Council also know that I am an elected Community Board Member and have the greater good of the community in mind. People need to come to Council en masse and show their disapproval as you may be next to have one installed outside your house or your children’s school.
