Vatican Radio transmitters ‘pose cancer risk’

The Supreme Court of Italy has ordered Vatican Radio to compensate Cesano, a small town near Rome, following allegations the broadcaster’s high-powered transmitters put children at a higher risk of cancer.

Reports emerged in 2001 that electromagnetic radiation produced by Vatican Radio’s transmitters near the town was above the legal limit. A health authority released a study claiming that children in the area were six times more likely to develop leukemia.

The 300-page report prepared by Italy’s most prestigious cancer research hospital called the connection between Vatican antennas and childhood cancer “coherent and significant.”

Mr. Wulf Dietrich Rose, an expert in mobile communications, of Kitzbühel, Austria, internationally known for his research works in this field, proved through his studies and researches that mobile radiation represents serious health risks to the nearby living population of cancer, brain tumours, genetic problems, and deformity of newborns.

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Mr. Rose, IGEF has affected several measurements and specific radiation studies and due to his expertise obtained that already constructed mobile stations in residential areas were dismantled or constructions were simply postponed.
