Cell tower radiation measured below current safety limits, but these limits don't reflect non-thermal biological effects research.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Malaysian researchers measured radiofrequency radiation levels at 200 locations around 47 cell phone base stations mounted on rooftops. They found that all measured radiation levels were well below the safety limits established by various international agencies and countries. This study was conducted to address growing public concerns about potential health risks from these increasingly common wireless infrastructure installations.

Study Details

In view of public concerns, measurements of the RF/MW levels emitted by the base stations were carried out in this study.

The values were compared with the exposure limits set by several organisations and countries. Measur...

It was found that the RF/MW radiation from these base stations were well below the maximum exposure ...
