Lately at every intersection of the Moscow came a strange pillars, festooned with antennas and other communication devices. Muscovites even more often complain of feeling unwell.
The correspondents of “MN” tried to figure out whether technology can seriously undermine the health of the citizens and why the city authorities ignore the people’s demands to remove these rigs.
When in the Otradnoye district appeared first tower, hung with the transmitting equipment, the locals were happy with it. Mobile phones in many homes worked badly, therefore, the desire of the authorities to remedy the situation caused the Muscovites only approval. But less than six months, as the whole area around the metro was literally covered with new towers. The transmitting equipment was hanging over playgrounds, one bearing came right near the entrance to the dairy kitchen, also attentive citizens have noticed that the communicators managed to place its equipment on the roof of children’s policlinic. Sometimes the distance between the masts was no more than thirty meters. And people began to complain of headaches, pressure jumps, someone started heartaches.
This past September the dissatisfaction of residents escalated into protests. On the street Sannikova people took to the streets not to allow workers to hang their device to the next post. When it became clear that between the warring parties soon will start up a fight, someone called the police and representatives of the Council. It turned out that the aliens are no leases post, no permits.
“Then came the professionals, began to measure the radiation. And they did it on the pole where hung the still unconnected devices. We soon received an official response that exceeded radiation standards have not been rasskazyvaet the public Council under the district Council welcome Svetlana Balashova.
Residents of the Tver district, too, have long believed that mast at the intersection of Forest and Smolensky streets will be removed immediately after the specialists will fix the background threat here. After several complaints to the Prefecture and other Supervisory bodies of Muscovites e-mailed a reply.
“It was a standard response that exceeded our rigs there. Only then it turned out that she was on the documents listed elsewhere. There must be and was measured. Of course, any radiation in that place have not found,” says a community member residents of Forest street Larissa Razumovsky and gives the figures that have become known as a result of an independent examination conducted by residents of the Tver district. Rules radiomagnitnyh radiation have been violated several times. That is why the statement that in 2015 of the 366 complaints of Muscovites turned out to be only a reasonable one, Muscovites listen to with a skeptical smile. And certainly affected residents don’t believe the assurances of officials that the base stations located on towers, provide less than 1 percent of the total background. The remaining harmful radiation supposedly give cell phones, and Internet appliances.
AS LAMPPOSTS BECAME GOLD
Almost three years ago there was an order of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to improve information support of the capital, and the operators immediately has a new headache. To put the base station on the roofs of houses was expensive and difficult. The fact that the Civil code will first get the permission of residents for placement of equipment.
“It is very difficult, therefore, it was a technical decision to use the lighting poles, which are on the balance of sue “Mossvet”. As of January of this year was established 2170 supports”, – said the head of communications with operators of cellular communication of the Department of information technology of Moscow Victor Barantsev.
The operators were very happy with this state of Affairs. To rent the roof of a residential building, it is necessary not only to undergo a long procedure of collecting signatures of residents, but to pay good money – an average of 80 thousand rubles per month. And rent space on a lamp post will cost 20 thousand. That is why they occupied all of the recognized “monsters” in the market of mobile services. Often one pillar hanging more than 30 high-frequency devices.
Coordinator of the protest group from the districts of Saburovo, Nagatino and Anton Skuratov has spent six months to sort out in the kitchen of this business.
“After 2013, officials rushed to execute the order of Medvedev. Now the Department of information technology collects data from operators on the “holes” in the coverage of their networks. In these places special organization support make the dual-purpose, that is, preparing the tower for connection of equipment. Then they are transferred to the balance of sue “Mossvet”, which is responsible for all the lampposts of the city. Thus, their problems resolved almost everything. Operators are happy to pay a “Mossvet” very small in comparison with the rent of attics of houses amount. “Mossvet” I am glad that money brings literally every post. Officials are glad to have fulfilled another order of Prime Minister. Glad not just us residents, but our view is, as usual, is not taken into account,” says Skuratov. He has doubts as to the objectivity of measurements. “Maybe not 20-30-watt antenna within a radius of 30 meters to meet the standards. But formally you would say that everything is fine. Any cancer will occur in five years, and then it will not be up to standards,” says the activist.
Duma Deputy Elena Shuvalov suggests that the project involves a very high level and interested officials.
“The Moscow government has cancelled the approval of the local deputies work for the wiring of the communications. And immediately the builders dug through all of Moscow – a new cable laid. There is a suspicion that it was intended for dual purpose supports. It means that people at a very high level have a vested interest in this project, here their material interests. It was necessary not just to hold the cable, and to ensure that these works are not consistent with the public. It’s not everyone will be able”, – said Shuvalov.
THE RADIATION KILLED THE COCKROACHES
Oncologist Anatoly haustov of the district Troparevo-Nikulino is also involved in the movement against the pillars of dual-use. He said that experts know about the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the human body, but this phenomenon has not been studied. The simplest violation that can “donate” that appears next to the tower, is insomnia and headache. Then there are vegetative-vascular dystonia, hypertension, cardiosclerosis. Some experts suspect that radiation can cause cancer but as long as the connection between the base stations and the occurrence of this diagnosis is not proven.
The safe distance from the radio source to a house 200 metres away. Moscow officials adhere to other standards of 65 meters. In practice, this distance often does not exceed 40 meters. Doctor of medical Sciences Svetlana Nikitina argues that before the base station was placed only on the roofs of high-rise buildings, the apartments will not fall into the zone of the main beam. “Lately we see that antenna came down. Often they are located in two-storey buildings, at an altitude of only several meters from the ground. Thus, the radiation is aimed at a house. Once in an apartment we measured indicators. They have been in 50 times exceeded standards,” says Nikitina.
Meanwhile, the Muscovites have already noticed that soon after the appearance of towers of apartments of the capital disappeared cockroaches. To meet the once ubiquitous Sparrow is already a rarity. Municipal Deputy Alexander Andreev speaks with horror about the activities of the Department of culture, officials have installed Wi-Fi in the majority of Metropolitan parks. “There will be no insect!” – she is indignant.
Tell that several years ago a resident of the Moscow region forced officials to remove the pole from his cottage. This man managed to convince the judge that the unit violated his constitutional right to a healthy environment. Muscovites have modest success – none of them failed to achieve the elimination of the HSE with transmitters at the Windows. For all their complaints capital officials meet the standard formal replies.
