New major study of whether or not cellphone base stations are dangerous

Kind of scary if this really is the first major study of this as the BBC says it is, but the University of Essex is about to start doing some serious first of its kind research into the the health effects of electromagentic radiation from cellphone base stations, towers, and masts. The FCC says that ground-level exposure levels from cellphone base stations are "thousands of times less than the exposure levels recommended as safe by expert organizations", but that doesn't mean you'd necessarily want one mounted on the roof of your house or apartment building or anything like that since from a few feet away they definitely can be dangerous.
