Dear John, Greetings from Coastal Suffolk. Regarding your request for information on health effects of mobile phone stations you may find the following of some relevance. In 1999 the UK Government established an independent expert group (IEGMP), headed by Sir William Stewart, to examine possible health effects of mobile phones, base stations and transmitters on health. The Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones (IEGMP), released the report on Mobile Phones and Health, on 11 May 2000. The report adopted a precautionary approach and made numerous recommendations. The full report is available on line which can be downloaded from http://www.iegmp.org.uk/ (There is some reference to base stations near school) "Why did the Expert Group pay particular attention to schools in their recommendations on planning and auditing and not consider other areas which children occupy (and where the beam may fall)? The Expert Group was specifically asked by government to address the issue of siting of base stations on or near schools. It is known that children are in school for a large proportion of the day, whereas their whereabouts outside school are much less clearly defined". There are 20 pages of references alone and I am sure this will be of some help in answering your question.
