FAQs on "EMF" and Health
The powerline, static field and cell phone antenna FAQs have now been
converted to html, and are available on our wed site. The new versions look
better, print better, and the biobliographic refs and cross-references are now
active links. The science has also been updated.

FAQs about Cell Phone Base Antennas and Human Health
http://www.mcw.edu/gcrc/cop/cell-phone-health-FAQ/toc.html
Summary: This FAQ addresses the issue of whether cellular phone (and PCS) base
station antennas are a risk to human health. Issues surrounding the phones
themselves are not directly addressed. Some aspects of the FAQ are also
relevant to other types of broadcast antennas. While discussion of general
issues are international in scope, some of the technical and regulatory
aspects of the FAQ are currently USA-specific.
