Activists have protested against cellular towers over the radiation they emit for decades, yet there is still no evidence that such wireless signals present a human health hazard.
iBurst, the network operator that would one day become Rain , made headlines in 2010 after conclusively refuting allegations that its wireless signal was causing health problems.
Activists staged a protest and began complaining of various symptoms, including rashes, headaches, nausea, tinnitus, dry burning itchy skins, gastric imbalances, and disrupted sleep patterns.According to some of the complaints, the symptoms subsided within hours of being away from the area. Ionising electromagnetic radiation, such as that caused by x-rays and gamma rays, can damage DNA and are known to cause cancers.
“The radiation at this site was the same level as that already present from cellular phone towers in the area,” Van Zyl said. What he didn’t tell residents was that the tower had actually been turned off in early October — six weeks before the meeting.
