As many of you may have noticed there are quite a lot of concern all over=
=20
the world about radio transmitters, mostly the cellular towers get
attention since that system is growing extremely rapid now.
What I would like to suggest is that someone with access to a webserver
tell us all to send notes and articles to him to put onto the web, thus
creating a web of material concerning these issues. We BADLY need such=20
a collection!
At http://www.feb.se we try to put links to other resources on the web,=20
it would be very good to be able to link to some source of information
concentrated only on tower issues!
So, if anyone out there feel like trying to make such an effort, we are
many who will be grateful! It is possible to make it an cooperative
ongoing effort, what is needed is a person who receives email with=20
material and just puts it onto the web, no more than that. I have done that
for the EMF-L list so I know exactly what I am talking about...
It doesn=B4t really require that much work, except maybe at the start.

Since the receiver parts in the television set or the cellular phone
cannot detect signals under a certain level, and since that level is
more or less of the same magnitude, the overall field strength exposure=20
from broadcast towers and cellular towers is /not/ that different.
The broadcast towers /are/ outputting vast amounts of powers, say
50 000 W per channel while the cellular tower is outputting some=20
50 W per channel. However, the cellular towers are more local and
thus are placed all over the place in large numbers. The overall=20
mean exposure may not be that different, but the number of people=20
exposed to higher field strenghts in the vicinity of a transmitter
should be quite larger for the cellular case!
It is not that easy to compare the big tower and the bunch of smaller ones.

It is exactly enthusiasm that is needed!

My suggestion is to make information easily and readily available, for this
the internet is cheap, fast and efficient. Information is what enables
discussions and gives groups of people something to start with!

This is NOT so uncommon! What is even more common is that scientists say
one thing to the media and another in the paper.=20
This effect is VERY clear if you read
litterature summary papers that try to cover what is "known" from a=20
bunch of reports, those meta-studies are highly colored by the person
who makes the summary.
