No Cancer from Cell Tower Radiation says Norwegian Study
In the past decade, cell phones/mobile phones have transformed the way we communicate. They have become an indispensable part of our modern existence. Unfortunately, there co-exists another negative & false perception about cell phone technology. There is growing resentment & skepticism because some people 'allege' that there is a carcinogenic quality in the cell phone tower radiations.
In any debate, there will always be two sides to the story. In this case, its fair to say that the least one can do, is make oneself properly aware. And with a little bit of time & effort, one can easily find thorough, large-scale and completely scientific studies that have been conducted by very reputable organizations & governments; that ought to form the basis, for deciding if there is any merit in these accusations of cell phone tower radiation, being harmful, possibly even cancerous!
One great example to point out here and use is a very recent & exhaustive Norwegian study. This study, a comprehensive examination going upto 200 pages, was administered by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. In this effort, the scope of the study has been all-encompassing (cell phone radiation as well as cell tower radiation). And the has study found that the electromagnetic fields generated by mobile phones are all below acceptable minimum levels recommended by the International Commission on Non-ionizing radiation protection (ICNIRP). Not just 'merely' lower, but a massive 50 times lower than what the ICNIRP would consider potentially tissue or nerve-cell damaging. A significantly lower rating, negligible almost! the minimum value of electromagnetic radiation required to cause heating of human tissue or stimulation of nerve cells.
So where is the question of any kind of harm, leave alone something as severe as cancer! In any case, Cell Phone Towers are positioned too far up in the sky for any trickle down effect. We barely come in contact with the already, inherently weak radiations. The possibility of these radiations from cell phone towers then causing cancer are about the same as an elephant scaling Mount Everest!
One can only help get the truth out, and hope that enough people tap into scientific fact-finding and then make their decisions. Then, maybe we will be thankful, rather than disgruntled, at the boon that cell phones are in our lives today.

Rajasthan High Court Order To Ban Cell Towers Puts Citizens Into a Communication Vaccum
Some people have a need to spread lies and rumors. What they fail to realize is that not only does this induce panic, it can also result in official rulings that make it extremely problematic for large numbers of people to go about their everyday lives. And this is exactly what has happened in the case of The Rajasthan High Court's September 2012 order to bring down 200 cellular phone towers.
While it has been suggested & alleged by a small minority of people that cell phone tower radiation causes health hazards; the overwhelming evidence that is factual, scientific and widely proven, says the exact opposite. From studies such as the CEFALO across Europe to the harmless RF Waves that cell phone towers emit being given a clean chit from leading experts the world over; none of this has been taken into consideration by the courts. And in a very sad turn of events, the judiciary seems to have relied on some malicious peoples' equally malicious and completely made-up rumors.
In an age led by science and technology, the judicial system has relied on the exact opposite. The result, the removal of these cell phone towers has left millions without any cell phone network. And in an era where in our personal and professional lives, communication, largely done via cell phones, is indispensable; cell phone connectivity for the people of Rajasthan is almost non-existent. Its a very sad state of affairs.
Instead of moving forward and advancing, this single decision and ruling has turned back time and sent the people of an entire state back into the dark ages. How are they to communicate now? By using birds as messengers? When every shred of evidence evicts cell phone tower radiation; why the courts have not taken cognizance of this scientific data available from the most reliable experts in the public domain; is beyond any explanation.
The real sufferers, the people. Left high and dry and in a communication vacuum; they have been cut off in one deft stroke, and sent back to a bygone era of no communication. It is injustice, delivered by a sacred place that has taken people, facts, and justice itself, for granted!
Let us examine what this order is based on. It is based on rumors about how Cell Phone Tower Radiation can be harmful to human health. And for the sake of argument, let us now examine some widely proven, accepted, and acknowledged truths.
