According to neighbors and environmentalists to install the new antenna would violate the distance of 100 meters to homes established by ordinance on mobile force in the municipality [1]
The overlap of the emission beam of the new with the old antenna would also significantly increased exposure in some areas (residential or repeated exposure to emissions from pulsed radiofrequency and microwave mobile telephony), which also increase the risk health of its inhabitants.
The current Spanish legislation on emission limit values ​​does not ensure adequate protection of health [2], which is why other regions have established limit values ​​thousands of times lower [3], including Castilla-La Mancha.
Neighbors and environmentalists point out that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones as a possible human carcinogen [4]
In the arguments, in addition to these arguments, it also gives the European Parliament resolution of 2 April 2009 on health considerations related to electromagnetic fields, which indicates that the mobile phone technology that emits electromagnetic fields can produce effects adverse human health and points to the need for a review of the levels of exposure.
The allegations also include Resolution 1815 of the Council of Europe May 27, 2011 "Potential hazards of electromagnetic fields and their effects on the environment", which states that the location of any new antenna is necessary to consult residents and local associations of citizens / as affected / as, concluding on the need to lower the exposure limit values ​​citizen.
Finally, the document of allegations refer to the example of the epidemiological study developed by researchers at The Ñora Research Center Hospital La Fe de Valencia and Department of Applied Physics, University of Valencia, which establishes a significant relationship between emissions an antenna and a set of symptoms, headaches, insomnia, altered circadian rhythms, difficulty concentrating Altered blood pressure and skin, etc. visual dysfunctions., with emission levels far below those established by current legislation.
Ecologists in Action, and residents of the City Council to require Miranda, applying the principle of prevention and precaution, do not give consent to the proposed installation of this antenna and avoid the installation of these radio infrastructures in the vicinity of residential areas and residential township .
