THE Office of Utility Regulation is going to review phone mast emissions.

Director-general John Curran told yesterday’s Chamber of Commerce lunch that it was important to establish whether masts were the most appropriate standard for the island. ‘We are aware of the concerns about emissions generally from mobile phone masts.

‘And we will soon be starting a review and audit of the emissions of every mobile phone mast in Guernsey.’ He said the consultants tasked with the review would be responsible for exploring the standards in other countries.
