The Dangers of Radiation from Mobile Phone Masts (Cell phone mast - Can reduce Real-Estates-Prices if they are near-by a building or certain property - (even if it is on the roof) its affecting the aiming deliberately on the - Target-Individual) zyra.org.uk/phonmast.htm youtube/watch?v=9ziYS2mbGcA Cell phone tower radiation limits Electromagnetic Radiation Protection What is it Cell Phone Safe Emission-Level? Why some cell phone - are more safe then others? youtube/watch?v=NSRPv2VwX4g There are fears that mobile phone masts present a threat to health. The emissions of energy from these towers is considered hazardous by some people. The fact is that mobile phone masts look pretty scary. They are big high-tech things that look like something ingeniously created in science fiction. Also, theyre all over the place, like satellite dishes, and give the whole scene a no longer last century feel to it. Also, they often get conveniently situated on schools, churches, hospitals, etc, because like cats they like to have a good vantage point of the surrounding territory. With these great arrays of antennae youd expect the amount of radiation to be given off would be something really astonishing, and that anyone quite close would be fried by the electromagnetic flux density. Pigeons, on landing on the deadly arrays, would drop dead Kentucky-fried*. Also, as commercial interests and authority spin have sometimes got a bad reputation because of safety assurance in the past which later turned out to be false, for example they said atomic energy was safe, it brings the whole scientific pronouncement business into disrepute! So, mobile phone masts, they must be dangerous, mustnt they? They Look dangerous, and I heard that someone who once went near a mobile phone mast one night a month later caught the flu, so, these things arent safe, are they? Well, it all depends on whether you want to look at things by guesswork and look-and-feel, or whether you look at the actual facts. Im not going to tell you whether mobile phone masts are dangerous or not, but I am going to explain what the danger is in relative terms to other things. The thing that makes mobile phone masts a bit different to broadcast radio transmitters and pager transmitters and television transmitters, is the fundamental fact that the mobile phone masts have to transmit to mobile phones and receive from them! It is by its very nature a Two-Way communication. Also, all the phones the mast is in two-way communication with are within a short distance of it. Theres no point in the tower communicating with phones hundreds of miles away when there are other towers inbetween. Now, this is the key feature: The two-way nature of the system means that a mast will only talk to a phone if the phone can talk to the mast. Therefore the actual power output of the mast in its communication with a particular phone is similar to that of the phone its in contact with. Its like being in the street shouting to someone standing on top of the tower, and them shouting back to you. If you were further away, theres no point in the person on top of the tower shouting ten times as loud if they cant hear your reply. So, the actual power of the transmission is similar to that of an ordinary mobile phone. Its actually slightly more, but its not vastly more. The mast is communicating on a two-way basis with a set of phones in its zone. There are typically a dozen channels and four time-slots, so in effect the actual total power is fifty times that of a phone. But because of the inverse-square law, the bottom line is this: If your head is seven times further away from a mobile phone mast than it is from a phone, you are being bombarded by more radiation from the phone than from the mast! So, if you are right underneath a mobile phone mast in a school playground, you are probably 40ft from the mast aerial, but if you use a mobile phone anywhere at all, youve got the phone right near your head, which is very considerably nearer than 7 times. So, if phone masts are dangerous, then using a mobile phone is reckless and lethal. (Ive recently seen a tabloid sensationalist article in which someone said mobile phone masts should be banned within a mile of schools. This is badly informed, and such a move would actually increase radiation exposure!**) However, no-one thinks of the phone as dangerous because its just a small neat gadget that you can carry around and besides everyones got them and they dont suffer from it. Meanwhile the mast looms dark in the distance as if some sinister sci-fi threat is upon us. The fact is that because of the two-way communication, if theres any danger its the phone thats the more dangerous! The other thing is that there are much more powerful transmitter masts around all over the place, but you cant see them. Therefore they dont appear so threatening. Also, the type of radiation involved is important. Its not radioactive or ionising radiation, its radio waves. Its like light in lots of ways. If you could see the radio waves coming off mobile phones and off the mobile phone masts, the phone would glow like a bedside light, and the mast would be a combined set of lamps which in total would amount to approximately as bright as a 100 watt lightbulb. But as its right up on top of a building it would not be as blinding as if you stared right into the bedside light of the phone. The conclusion: Mobile phone masts; if theyre dangerous, then using a mobile phone is much more dangerous. You receive a small dose of radio waves from a phone, but an even smaller amount from a mast, even if you are quite close to it. Is Your Cell Phones Radiation Level Safe?
