burnout8488 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The first comment I see: "The biggest concern with cell towers are the radio frequency radiation exposures (classified as a class 2B possible carcinogen by the WHO) that local populations are exposed to BUT fires are also a genuine problem......particularly where cell towers are installed on buildings, near homes and schools. More stringent regulation is required." Well, we should probably get rid of cell towers then. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well, we should probably get rid of cell towers then. No, we should get rid of cellphones -- because, ironically, most of the people who worry over cell site radiation do use cellphones. They fail to understand that little cellphones expose them to far greater radiation than do big cell sites. AJ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then complain they have no service!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plato2876 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 You know what else is in category 2B? Coffee, Gasoline, and Talc powder. I somehow doubt that designation by itself warrants banning... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IARC_Group_2B_carcinogens#Mixtures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
