*_SSI: radiation has decreased during the last 6 years_*
Dr. Kjell Mild, who co-authored the cell phones studies with prof
Hardell, said to the press:
/Att ny teknik sänker strålningen från basstationer och tv-sändare är
ingen nyhet för Kjell Hanson Mild, forskare i radiofysik vid Umeå
Universitet. Men just den strålningen oroar honom inte. /
/*"Använd handsfree"*
- Det finns ingen som helst biologisk effekt på så låga
strålningsnivåer, säger Kjell Hanson Mild./
/The fact that new technology decreases the radiation from base-stations
and TV-antennas is no news to Kjell Hanssson Mild, at the Umeå
University. But that radiation is of no worry to him./
/- "There is no biological effect whatsoever at these low radiation
levels" says Kjell Hansson Mild/

*We provide evidence of a gradual increase in the incidence of childhood
leukaemia over the twentieth century from examination of trends in both
incidence and mortality in England and Wales. We conclude that much of
the recorded increase is likely to be real.*
