Do cell phone towers cause cancer?

Do cell phone towers cause cancer?His views on the topic:

‘Risks from cell tower/phone radiation are negligible’

Cell tower radiation is incapable of causing cancer as it has a million times less energy. It cannot make structural changes in cells making them rogue cells which may multiply uncontrollably to form cancer. There is no scientific support for other alleged hazards from cell toer/phone radiation.

Two central ministers are reportedly afraid of telecom tower radiation!

Two central ministers are reportedly afraid of telecom tower radiation!

His views on the topic:

As per a report, “Intensive International research has not established any adverse health effect in the short or long term of Radio Frequency radiation exposure from mobile phones and cell tower antennas”.

If the reported apprehensions of Shri Veerappa Moily and Ms Krishna Tirath are correct, it is a case of no light under the lighthouse.

The Hindustan Times unwittingly scares public

The Hindustan Times unwittingly scares public

His views on the topic:

The Hindustan Times may not have the scientific resources to sift the corn from the chaff. But publishing assertive statements based on unscientific reports is not appropriate; more so when such statements are likely to be taken as Gospel truths by an unsuspecting public. It is unfortunate that a leading daily such as The Hindustan Times behaves this way.

Hazards of reading the “Report on Cell Tower Radiation”

Hazards of reading the “Report on Cell Tower Radiation”

His views on the topic:

Professor Girish Kumar’s report was an eye opener to me. I have sent it to few specialists. Their comments were equally revealing. What is disturbing is that the report got undeserved credibility as it emerged from IIT Bombay. The report is a classic example of a biased and unscientific study. The report needs careful analysis as most of the scary observations on the biological effects of cell tower/phone radiation uncritically published in some of our leading news papers emerge from it.
