Council keeps watch over basestation
emissions
South Staffordshire Council has invested in a Narda selective radiation meter to enable it to carry out truly independent measurements of the emissions from basestations in the area.
In an effort to address local residents' fears about the safety of mobile-phone basestations, South Staffordshire Council has invested in a Narda selective radiation meter from Link Microtek to enable it to carry out truly independent measurements of the emissions from basestations in the area South Staffordshire is predominantly a green-belt area, and in recent years its rural community has been particularly active in expressing its concerns over possible health effects from exposure to radio-frequency signals from local basestations

Link Microtek has produced a new shortform brochure providing an overview of the wide range of Narda microwave components now available from stock in the UK and continental Europe.
Although measurements by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and Ofcom at various sties around the UK have found field strengths to be thousandths of the ICNIRP general public exposure levels, the general public itself remains deeply sceptical.
Those measurements are supported by simple mathematical modelling of worst-case basestation emissions, which accurately predict very low field strength levels in public areas, but still concern continues unabated.
In this situation,
