[TowerTalk] FCC RF Safety Regs Info Sept 1

[W4EF@dellroy.com]

I was under the impression (I don't follow this stuff as closely as I would like to) that
there were some weak correlation found between leukemia and occupational exposure.
I just did a quick search on the internet and found a large summary on epediomological
studies on the Pasteur Institute's "Information Scientifique" page. The size of the
bibliolography is staggering. A quick read of the summaries indicates conclusions
ranging from negative correlations to weak positive correlations between EMF exposure
and Leukemia. Other studies seem to criticize positive correlations for lack of proper
control. Although it would seem that the door may still be open for a weak correlation
between EMF exposure and disease, it appears to be down in the noise of measurement
uncertainty. Better to concentrate on things with better SNRs like cigarette smoking
and poor physical fitness (not to mention the stress of unfounded worries over the EMF
epidemiological boogey man ).
