TACLOBAN CITY – Committee on environment and natural resources chairman of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Leyte, Board Member Roque Tiu said that he will look into reports that cellular phones sites (cell sites) were mushrooming in different parts of the province.
The report, according to Tiu, was brought to his office by a concerned citizen after several people particularly those living near cell sites raised alarm that it may cause radiation that would threaten their health.
“This gives me an idea to conduct a research if this cell sites mushrooming will cause radiation,” Tiu said.
At present, Tiu said that he already instructed his staff to make a research on the effects of cell sites radiation to human health.
Research on the matter according to Tiu would also include consulting the Department of Health, Department of Transportation and Communication and National Telecommunication Commission.
The information from those offices according to Tiu will be important as they will base their report on the findings gatherd from those agencies.
He added that if it would be proven that cell sites mushrooming has bad effects to human health, he will immediately file an ordinance to control and regulate the installation and construction of telecommunication sites in the province.
