A family of Chevreuse, in the Yvelines, links the health problems of two young girls to the presence, not far from the house, of a mobile phone relay antenna. She filed a complaint.
For the first time in France, a criminal complaint (read the main extracts of the complaint) was filed on Wednesday, September 17 in the afternoon, directly targeting a mobile telephone operator, for "administration of a harmful substance".
The relay antenna placed by Bouygues Telecom in the Rhodon district, in Chevreuse (Yvelines), would be responsible for the deterioration in the state of health of Caroline and Juliette Roeland, two 17-year-old twins, according to the family. "For the first time, we have a medical certificate which links health problems to the presence of a mobile phone antenna", explains Me Richard Forget, lawyer for the Roeland family.
Dated November 28, 2006, the first certificate, which concerns Juliette, affirms that "the cardiac disorders which present (the young girl) are likely to be related to the promiscuity of a mobile telephone antenna - or aggravated by this promiscuity ". The second certificate, written on May 29, 2007, establishes that "the troubles presented by Miss Caroline Roeland are likely to be accentuated or even provoked by the presence of magnetic fields near relay antennas".
The family is not alone in its fight, moreover, a good part of the Rhodon district had mobilized since 2000, once the Bouygues project was known to install a relay antenna on a turret located in the garden 'a particular. The ace. Despite opposition from the mayor himself, the antenna started broadcasting in 2003.
This is where the problems arose. The two young girls began with tachycardia, their heart rate showing between 120 and 130 beats per minute at rest. "My daughters were out of breath even just going up the stairs," explains Justine and Caroline's mother. "We went to see a first cardiologist, but the only solution he offered us was to administer beta-blockers to my daughters, without looking for the causes of their problems. We therefore went to see a second cardiologist. still remember: when in his office, I explained to him that we lived near a relay antenna, he got up, looked at me with a martial air, saying: 'Look no further, we found where the problem was' ".
Bouygues Télécom: "The antennas are not dangerous"
Contacted by the Nouvel Observateur, the head of external relations of Bouygues Telecom, Florence Curvale, brushes aside this possibility: "The relay antennas are not dangerous for the health of the residents. To date, all the groups of experts consulted by the health authorities in France and abroad arrive at the same conclusions on relay antennas. "None of the 200 studies carried out to date show a danger of the mobile telephone for health".
