Supervision and control of mobile telephony, Wi-Max, radio and TV systems

Description

With this study, the Municipality of Matera, for the first time, is equipping itself with a valid tool to counteract the wild installation of antennas in the city and throughout its territory. In the knowledge that regional and state regulations are not currently sufficient to protect citizens from the claims of operators, we carried out a detailed investigation of the values of exposure to electromagnetic fields and the location of transmission systems in urban areas. The survey was carried out by a group of experts, headed by Mr Pasquale Fantasia, who provided all the documentation for the analysis of the electromagnetic impact and the municipal cadastre of the installations. We have therefore tried to draw a real map of high-frequency transmission systems and their electromagnetic impact through the plant reconnaissance of the sources. This tool helps us to plan a new organisation of the locations of telephone and radio and television antennas, which telephone companies will have to comply with in order to avoid installation in unsuitable places (see the case of C.da Agna) or in areas with critical issues due to the high concentration of radio and television installations (Murgecchia area and municipal stadium). An important innovation introduced by the work is the new ‘Rules governing the installation of transmission systems in compliance with the quality objectives’ necessary for the Municipality of Matera in order to conclude with the operators of the appropriate plants ‘Memorandums of Understanding’ on future installations and environmental requalifications of the existing critical issues identified. In the coming months, therefore, we will launch two important new tools: the Permanent Consultative Assembly and the Electromagnetic Pollution Control Network. The Permanent Consultative Assembly will ensure participation and transparency and will be made up of representatives of the Municipality, the interested citizens' committees and the recognized environmental associations, and will have the task of evaluating the application practices of the managers and keeping citizens informed of the state of the industry. The Electromagnetic Pollution Control Network will introduce 24-hour monitoring by means of control units located in various points of the city with the publication of the measured values on specific internet pages. This website, where it is already possible to consult the results of the investigations and the register of installations on the provisional pages, is the first step in this direction of transparency and participation in the general interest of protecting health and safeguarding public safety.
