The New York Times > New York Region > Cellphone Antennas to Sprout Atop Light Poles and Signs

The New York Times > New York Region > Cellphone Antennas to Sprout Atop Light Poles and Signs:

The lunatic fringe is active in NYC. To the writer's/editor's credit, they have included a statement of fact to counter Evie's wild and uninformed wailing.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Evie Hantzopoulos of the Astoria Neighborhood Coalition, which opposes the unchecked spread of antennas in the city, sees it otherwise.
'There has been a complete lack of public input on this and the city has given the telecommunications industry carte blanche access,' Ms. Hantzopoulos said. 'It's not just dangerous, it's irresponsible.'
While there has been widespread concern about radiation from cellphone towers posing a risk of cancer and infertility, most scientific studies have not found a link."
