A mobile phone company is to remove a controversial mast from a block of flats dubbed the 'Tower of Doom', after seven residents were struck down by cancer.

Three residents have died and another four are battling the deadly disease since two masts were erected on the roof of the five-storey block.

Cancer rates on the top floor - where five of the eight flats have been struck, including the three deaths - is ten times the national average.

T-MOBILE, the mobile phone giant, has been accused of “burying” a scientific report it commissioned that concluded handsets and masts contribute to cancer and genetic damage.

The report argued that officially recommended limits on radiation exposure should be cut to 1/1000th of those in force. The suggestion has not been taken up by the company or by regulators.

Campaigners claimed T-Mobile’s handling of the report was part of a wider pattern of behaviour by the industry in its efforts to keep discussion of the health risks off the agenda.

The Ecolog Institute, which has been researching mobile phone technology since 1992, was paid by T-Mobile to evaluate evidence on its potential dangers.

But Dr Peter Neitzke, one of the authors of the report, has accused T-Mobile, which has about 17m British customers, of diluting the findings by commissioning other studies from which it knew “no critical results or recommendations were to be expected”.

When little Emily Kearney was diagnosed with cancer, her parents decided to get her the dog she had always wanted to help her through...Now six years on, in an extraordinarily cruel coincidence, Casper has been diagnosed with the same cancer that Emily had. Burkitt's lymphoma is a type of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma which affects lymphocytes - a type of white blood cell - which are found in the blood and in lymph glands....There are about 32 cases of Burkitt's lymphoma in children a year in the UK... There is not any connection between Emily and Casper's illnesses [Really?].[ See GSM masts nearby and group below - click here , select England, enter SR6 8LT and zoom out. Coincidence? ]

A technical visual Review Into The effects Of Peoples Health Of Telephone Base Station Mast Radiation. It includes some of the detailed graphs showing the cancer clusters around mobile phone masts. Dr Walker has now done 6 replications of masts that have been in place for over 8 years, we have found cancer clusters in the main beam of radiation in every one. From SCRAM.

Here’s the latest in industry funded cell phone studies that claim to have the final answer. When you see statements like “There’s really no biological basis for you to be concerned about radio waves,” and “people can become more reassured that these devices are safe” you can be sure the cell phone industry is paying the piper.

See George Carlo’s interesting (to say the least) comments to Robert Reidlinger on this study following the Associated Press report. - George Carlo, former head of the US WTR research project into Mobile Telephone health effects in the late 1990s had this to say: "John Boice and his colleagues have been on the cell phone industry payroll, and for big money, since the late 1990’s. The money laundering vehicle is the International Epidemiology Institute — the name sounds like a non-profit by design, but make no mistake, this is a big for-profit enterprise. When I ran the WTR, the International Epidemiology Institute, with Boice and a fellow named Joe McLaughlin, applied for funding to do this exact epidemiology study that was released this week. After much discussion within the WTR, they were refused funding because I felt they were blatantly biased and had overtly given us the notion that they would always create findings that were favorable to the industry."
