RE: OT: Mobile Phone Masts

[Mark Harrison <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

That's nothing t do with the emissions.

The problem that the Petroleum Regulations is dealing with is t do with handset batteries. If, as always seems t be the case with my phone, the battery is slightly loose, then there is the potential for a spark. Sparks + petrol fumes = explosions.

Now, t be fair, this has never happened on a European forecourt, but that was the thinking.

You cant use mobiles on garage forecourt & hospitals. Where do they put the transmitters ?

 

Inside forecourt totem poles & on hospital roofs

This always gets me: it's a physics fundamental isn't it? Radiated field
strength is inversely proportional t distance from emmiter..

The power going each way in a mobile phone call must be about the same. Sure
the base station has much bigger antennae but still, they can't be pumping
out more than five or six times what a handset does...

And yet people think the masts are a terrible health risk, but clamp a phone
flat a against the side of their head.....

I can see a pile of transmitters a few hundred metres away on the hilltop.
They bother me a lot less than the handset itself does!

or have I, again, got my physics all skewwiff?

Ian.
