People know live within a quarter mile of a cell phone tower, this may be of concern. Two studies reveal that living in proximity of a cell phone tower or antenna could put your health at significant risk.

A study examined whether population living close to two transmitter antennas installed has increase risk of cancer.

Every country cell towers has continued to grow within residential areas. However, there is also a clear lack of evidence showing that these towers are in fact safe. Because of this, a fear of the uncertainty remains among many neighborhoods across the different country.

In recent years, there have been several different views taken on the health risks associated with cell towers.

Some of the RF energy emitted by cell phones is absorbed in your body. The amount of energy you absorb depends on many factors, such as how close you hold the cell phone to your body and how strong the signal is. So far, the weight of evidence from animal, cell culture and human studies does not indicate that the energy emitted by cell phones is strong enough to cause serious health effects. Some scientists have reported that cell phone use may cause changes in brain activity, in reaction times, or in the time it takes to fall asleep, but these findings have not yet been confirmed.

Cell phones are designed to operate at the minimum power necessary to connect and maintain a quality call. As a result, the intensity of the RF energy from cell phones is well below a level that would cause health concerns.

Although the RF energy from cell phones poses no confirmed health risks, cell phone use is not entirely risk-free.
