The Sutro Tower is a prominent structure on an elevated site in San Francisco. Since
1973 it has provided radio and TV signals for the San Francisco Bay region. There
have been long-standing concerns about the health effects of this high-powered
transmitter located in the centre of a large urban population. The a priori hypothesis is
that RF/MW radiation is a Ubiquitous Universal Genotoxic Carcinogen. This is based on
a number of occupational studies and previous studies that have shown elevated
cancer rates in residential populations living in the vicinity of radar and RF/MW
broadcast towers. It is supported by many laboratory studies showing that ELF and
RF/MW signals damage DNA. Thus it is predicted that at residential levels of RF/MW
exposure cancer rates will increase in the vicinity of the Sutro Tower. This is tested by
using the childhood cancer data-set from 1973-1988 with residential locations analysed
to see if there is elevation of cancer and possible dose-response relationships. All of the
analyses support and together confirm the hypothesis, and the radial patterns eliminate
potential confounding factors.[Show full abstract]
