Hi! I'm one of those protesters, and I've just read your article in horror.
You say that wireless equipment is no health risk but you are mssing very important understandings in your rationale.
You claim that only ionizing radiation can directly damage cells. That's true if you mean only snapping chemical bonds but there are a

number of catalyst effects from non-ionizing radiation that damage cells just as effectively.
You forget the, oft replicated, studies on calcium-efflux where weak pulsed microwaves (like those emitted from cellphones, wifi etc.)

tear calcium ions off of cell membranes causing them to leak like teabags. You said it yourself: "it can only jiggle cells". Since

microwaves pass through cells, the cells insides get leaky too, releasing hungry digestive enzymes onto the DNA (munch munch!).

You claim that living close to a basestation is safe but there's more going on above cell level: you forget about effects that occur

at organ level, notably glands. Weak radiation from basestations and wifi suppresses the pineal glands production of Melatonin leaving

your body unprotected against oxidative stress and chemical carcinogens. Melatonin is a potent anti-oxidant and sleep regulating

hormone.

So, my horror stems from seeing how you are misleading your readers with outdated science of EMF and health impacts.The science in the

this field has progressed far beyond thermal effects from non-ionizing microwave radiation so I hope you (and your readers) will have

a look at the BioInitiative report - the most thorough review of the scientific litterature on EMF and biological effects to date.
