Radiation from cell phone towers causes no harm: DoT official

Contrary to popular fears that radiation fromcell phone towersmay be injurious to Health, DoTofficials said extensive research on electro- signals has established that it does not cause any harm.

On the basis of extensive research onEMFsignals, it has been established that mobile tower radiation does not cause any injurious health issues.

Mobile phones communicate by transmitting radio waves through a Network of fixed antennas called base stations. Radiofrequency waves are electromagnetic fields, and unlike ionizing radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays, can neither break chemical Bonds nor cause ionization in the human body.
