Swiss Study: 3G Cell Towers Not Harmful to People

CNet News reported that the health ministry of the Netherlands said that there is no evidence that radiation from 3G UMTS cellular masts is harmful to people. The ministry based its comments on a new Swiss study, led by Zurich University's Peter Achermann and financed by the Swiss and Dutch governments. The study found no relationship between health complaints and exposure to UMTS radiation. The study tested radio base stations, which emit and receive signals from 3G mobile phones. Several municipalities in the Netherlands had previously refused to give permits to erect the towers. Consumer interest groups said that the study does not rule out damage from long-term exposure.
