I don't know any studies on the harmful effects of 4G!

This is one article on Wimax/4G being launched somewhere in Sweden and people not liking it:

http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/12/swedes-hit-hard-by-wimax-waves/


This is a good text on 4G (in Europe) and about the different technologies that are named 4G:

for_operators_in_europe/

(register and then download the pdf is very easy and it is worthwhile)

There are 3 technologies named 4G. The 2 most important are Wimax and LTE.

Wimax is already present in the UK, and in many countries, but mostly only very local, in the major cities,... and mostly not nation-wide,

Nationwide 4G (probably LTE) will take some time in the UK, a good source on this:

However, ongoing delays have put the country behind other parts of Western Europe and operators are unlikely to get their hands on the attractive 2.6GHz band before 2012.

I've read in Germany 4G LTE is recently active and will be almost everywhere nation-wide by the end of 2011:

For Flanders/Brussels/Belgium, normally they're selling the licence for 4G by the end of this year.

I wonder how much worse this is than 3G. I read that there are two transmission technologies used for 4G, but I dont know the transmission spectrums. How are the transmission towers set up and do they require the same number of towers than 3G or more? I really dread this new technology.
