    WRITTEN QUESTION E-3491/98

    by Luigi Moretti (NI) to the Commission

    (25 November 1998)

    Subject: Presence of radio and television transmission towers in built-up areas

    Radio and television transmission towers are increasingly being erected in the vicinity of built-up areas, and sometimes even in town centres.

    In view of the fact that the electromagnetic waves produced by these towers constitute a threat to public health, which is reflected in the growing incidence of health problems such as deafness, sleeping disorders, leukemia, etc:

    1. Does the Commission intend to make it clearer that such towers located in built-up areas are potentially dangerous?

    2. Does it intend to consider drafting a proposal for a regulation laying down a safe distance for such towers from houses and, in particular, from schools and hospitals?
