Discussion on Cell Phone Towers Cancer Risk !

Where a base station is installed on top of a building where people live or work, those occupants may be quite unaware that they are in very close proximity to equipment which produces substantial EMR.
Cellular Phone Industry spokes person continue to assert that Cell Phone  towers pose no health risk, almost all scientists in this field would disagree , at the very least claiming that no such assurance can be given.
There is a strong evidence that EMR  from Cell phone Tower is damaging  to human ( and  animal ) health.
A study into the effects  of a cell tower on a herd of dairy cattle was conducted by the Bavarian state Govt. in Germany & published in 1993. The erection of the  tower  caused adverse health  effects resulting in
a measurable  drop in milk yield. Relocating the cattle restored the milk yield.
A Human Study ( Kempton west ) in 2007 measured blood levels of seratonin & melatonin ( important hormons involved in brain messaging, mood, sleep regulation & immune system function) both before, &five months after , the activation of a new cell site. Twenty five participants lived within 300 meters of the site. Substantial unfavorable changes occurred with respect to both hormones, in almost all participants.
Over 100 Scientists & Physicians at BOSTON & HARVARD Universities schools of Public health have called Cell Towers a Radiation Hazard.
Very few studies have specifically concentrated on Cancer risk from cell phone towers. This lack of studies is in itself a cause for concern, especially since anecdotal evidence is plentiful.
For example, in a case known as " Towers of Doom ", two cell masts were installed (1994) on a five storied apartment building in London. Residents complaint of many health problems in the following years. Seven of them were  diagonised with Cancer. The Cancer rate of the top floor residents (closest to the tower) was 10 times the national average.
That more research is needed but it may be slow in curing. Those who might fund major studies are the very same organisation who would be disadvantaged if a definite link between cell towers & cancer were established.
At an international  health conference , 33 delegates from seven Countries declared  cell phone towers a public emergency.
In my next blog - hope to write more on this.
