Cell Phone Broadcast Towers
by John Ruhland, ND

There are health risks from cellular phone broadcast and repeater antennas. Cell antenna continuously emit microwave radiation. People, and other living beings, are often negatively effected by this energy.

The studies on rats, which were used as a justification for allowing cell antennas to be placed near residences and work locations, exposed rats for only two hours. Much better studies are being done in Europe. Some studies have shown negative health effects up to two or more kilometers from an antenna.

My suggestion is to avoid being closer than one quarter, to one half mile, from a cell antenna. For more information, please see The EMR Network [Citizens and Professionals for the Responsible Use of Electromagnetic Radiation].
