RMIT launches tumours investigation
RMIT University has begun investigating whether there is a link between one of its Melbourne campus buildings and seven staff who have brain tumours.
Seven people who work on the two top floors of the RMIT Business Building in Bourke Street have been diagnosed with brain tumours in the past seven years.
Telecommunications towers are on top of the building.Radiation and air quality tests carried out in 2001 after the first two cases were diagnosed but they found nothing wrong.
Kelly Parkinson, from the Mobile Carriers Forum, says there is no link between mobile towers and cancer.

We live within a mile of a cell tower...I've watched news on the links between these towers and health issues ever since. I'm sure most DUers live near cell towers. :(
