Selecting Cell Tower Locations

Can Cell Towers Near Me Cause Health Problems?

The number of cell phone towers around the world has grown exponentially since the 1990s. The number of large cell phone towers in the USA has increased from approximately 900 in 1985 to more than 395,562 cell sites in service in 2019. This is just according to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (established in 1984 just prior to the deployment of cell phone towers).

The telecommunications business places cell phone towers in towns and rents roofs on schools, churches, as well as apartment buildings with antennas for one or more operators. This co-location may prepare groups of antennas with various frequencies in near proximity to where people live, work, and study. Generally, these base stations emit a constant stream of microwave radiofrequency (RF) that exposes residents to whole-body exposures. Learn more here!

Studies Show That Serious Health and Biological Effects within 400m of Cellular Transmitters

Results from a German study show a meaningfully higher likelihood of increasing cancer for people who live within 400 meters of a cell phone transmission mast. Also, it discovered that people who lived less than 400 meters tend to increase cancers at a younger age. Recent studies also suggest both short and long-term health effects within 300-400 meters of a cell phone tower. As a result, excessive precautions must be taken to locate cell phone towers away from the most vulnerable segments of the population.

Who knows what the cumulative effects will be or what the safe distance will be with the stronger new technologies? At this time, there is a lack of science concerning the impacts of combining various carcinogens existing in our environment. Do we really want to risk affecting the health of our most vulnerable neighbors and residents?

Children and the Elderly Are More Vulnerable

Our community must now make it known that we don’t want transmitters located in residential areas or near institutions that serve children and the elderly. We should be proactive. The study confirms that children and the elderly are more vulnerable.

This vulnerability is the only cause why the British Columbia Confederation of Parent Advisory Committees had just passed a resolution advising municipal governments and school boards to forbid the placement of cell phone towers or cell phone antennas in any area that students use regularly. Knowing that younger kids are more vulnerable now, so we should consider the child care centers in our neighborhood as well.

The Birds and the Bees

At this time, unprecedented levels and intensities of exposure to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields from many wireless technologies interfere with the natural system as well as the functioning of humans, animals, and plants.

The consequences of the growth of cell phone towers have been predicted already by critics for numerous decades, can no longer be ignored. Bees and many other insects have already vanished and birds avoid certain places as well as become disoriented in others. Humans suffer from diseases and functional deficiencies. In addition to the extent that the latter are hereditary, they will be transmitted to future generations as pre-existing defects.
