Re: [Phys-l] Physical scientists come from Mars, and Bio. scientists come from Venus

Perhaps this discussion belongs on PHYSOC, but since it's here - I'm curious
as to what the SPECIFIC health hazard is when one lives near a cell tower.
Has an epidemiological study been done that indicates a hazard that has real
statistical significance?

Also, as someone who donates blood 4 times a year, I am concerned as to what
is specifically hazardous about the nation's blood supply. I have heard of
minor problems here and there, but I did not know that the main supply was
to be avoided when one needs a transfusion.
