Fwd: Health effects of cell phone towers

["Thatcher, Drew" <dht0303@hub.doh.wa.gov>]

I recently co-authored a paper that now serves as the State of 
Washington's position on the subject.  It does a pretty good job of 
summarizing the key issues, if you would like a copy please let me know.

Radsafers,

A local politician contacted me and inquired as to the possible 
health effects of allowing cell phone towers to be erected in his 
district.  We discussed ionizing vs. non-ionizing effects for a 
while, but I could only give educated opinions.  Does anyone have 
references that I could pass on to this gentleman?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Patrick
