As was mentioned by several of the commenters in the article the researcher (named Olle not Ollie) received the Swedish Sceptic Societys "Misleader of the year" prize in 2004. Allow me to translate the last two paragraphs of their motivation for the prize, for you: The Swedish Sceptic Society has noted that Olle Johansson frequently makes claims outside of his area of research. Electromagnetic fields are without a doubt outside of his area of knowledge. As an example when Johannson speaks about microwaves it's implied that these are comparable to X-rays and gamma radiation, despite the fact that it's two completely different physical phenomenon. The important parameters when discussing these phenomenons is frequeny and intensity. If these aren't specified then the discussion about dangers is meaningless. Even Olle Johanssons claims about ruptures in DNA-strings shows a lack of knowledge. As an example Johansson recently gave (Stockholms Fria Tidning 2004-12-24) an understatement on the natural occurance of such breaches with a factor of 100 000. Someone who wants to be taken seriously should at least be using the right scale for their numbers. Lastly it's noted that Olle Johansson has claimed a long line of sicknesses, like cancer, blood preasure problems, asthma, allergies and insomnia, could be caused by electromagnetic fields. He claims that you can get skin cancer from tv- and radioemissions. Especially noted Johansson was a few years back when he claimed that brain damage and especially mad cow disease could be caused by mobile phones. (Aftonbladet 2001-03-12).

Hes been making claims in this area of research since the 1970's according to his own bio page at Karolinska Institutet. The cynic in me is guessing the university unofficially keep him employed as a money making machine, by getting all of those electromagnetic scare grants, especially during the 90s mobile scare.
