Epidemiological studies- Cell Phone Antennas
Studies in France, Israel, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Egypt and
Austria all document adverse health effects below the FCC guideline.
FRANCE
Incidents increased with proximity to towers
Women had more symptoms
Based on symptoms experiences: Cellular
FRANCE phone base stations should not be sited closer
than 300 m to populations. (Santini R 2002)
