Debunking the Myth: Does Cell Tower Radiation Harm Your Health?

Concerns about the health effects of radiation from telecommunication antennas are widespread. Many believe that prolonged exposure near cell towers or antennas causes various health problems. This belief is often fueled by anecdotal evidence and misinformation. However, scientific research suggests that the levels of radiation emitted by these antennas are generally too low to pose a significant health risk. In a recent video, an expert debunked some of these myths. "Metallic objects, such as elevators, actually act as Faraday cages, blocking electromagnetic radiation," he explained. He also clarified the role of plastic bands on mobile phones, stating, "These bands are the antennas that allow electromagnetic radiation to enter the phone." This clarifies the misconception surrounding the shielding effect of metal. While further research is always needed, current scientific consensus indicates that the radiation from telecommunication antennas is not a major health concern.
