Some news from a cold and rainySweden:


October 18, 1998
PROPERTY COMPANIES STOP MOBILE PHONE ANTENNAS ON ROOFS
Svenska Dagbladet (daily conservative newspaper in Stockholm Sweden) reports
that two extremely large property owners ( Poseidon and Bostadsbolaget), in
Gothenburg, Sweden have stopped the setting up of any more mobile telephone
antennas on their buildings.

They have been put up in secrecy, on roofs and on facades: the broadcasting
antennas for mobile phones From the base station positioned in the basement,
a cable runs all the way up the building. "We are talking about microwave
radiation and even if it is below the norms, it is not zero. Today we do not
know anything of the long term effects", says professor Yngve Hamnerius at
Chalmers, the technical university in Gothenburg, Sweden. He will embark on
a study how much we are affected by microwave radiation. Even if  the people
who live in the house with the antenna on the roof, get exposed to less
microwave radiation than a person speaking on a mobile phone, they are
exposed for a longer period.
