I thought this report was interesting but without independent evidence from those actually living near this real mast - having used a microwave monitor confirming this mast was turned off day and night for 6 weeks - there is no proof that this mast was turned off as the company stated.
Laboratory tests using mocked up masts are not the same as living near a mast twenty four hours a day, as there will be many emission fluctuations from an actual mast in real time.
Some neighbours of mine were told a mast was turned off a few years back - before microwave monitors were easily available - and then when I managed to borrow such a monitor - I found the opposite to be the case. So, I personally could never accept a mobile phone company's statement that a mast was turned off unless I had checked for myself. Its a shame these poor people have not had that benefit.
