Honestly really do not know as some experts
say Radiation from telecom towers and mobile phones can and cannot cause cancer
and depends on who you are talking to. Cannot be sure the experts have vested
interest.
See chart below and if your Microwave slow
cooker is broken down, use the telecom tower to slow cook you dinner or lunch.
Just joking and do not be an idiot to use the telecom tower to cook your lunch
or dinner as it will only fry you brains like over easy eggs minus the bacon

Residents worry of a drop in property
value as well as side-effects to their health despite assurances the tower is
safe.
KUCHING: The construction of a 30 metre high telecommunications
tower in the middle of a housing estate is causing extreme anxiety among the
residents there, many of whom are totally opposed to it.
The tower, to be erected at Taman Supreme, along Jalan Nyato here,
is said to enable high-speed broadband access and improved phone services when
complete.
A total of 98 residents however have signed a petition to Sacofa
Sdn Bhd to halt the construction of the tower after foundation work began early
last month.
Representing the group was Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen
and Pending assemblywoman Violet Yong.
Speaking to reporters at the construction site, Chong said the
parties involved in the construction of the tower should have considered the
opinions of the residents first.
“There is a conflict between the interests of the people here and
those who would benefit from such a tower,” said Chong, adding the tower would
also provide coverage for the nearby VivaCity Megamall.
He said residents had expressed worry that the existence of such a
tower would lower property value.
“They (Sacofa) should not have gone into an existing residential
area and built it (the tower) against the wishes of the homeowners,” he said.
Lim Kuet Wong, 75, a resident who has lived in the housing estate
for 40 years, also questioned if the erection of the tower would negatively
affect his health.
“It also looks very ugly,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sacofa denied there would be any side-effects to one’s
health.
Its corporate affairs officer Mohamad Sait said the radio frequency
(RF) emission was 790 times lower than permitted by the Malaysian
Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and that all international
standards had been complied with.
“There are no health effects at all. The emissions are far below
safety levels,” he said, adding that the tower would act as both a transmitter
and a receiver.
He added a study had been conducted and the site at Taman Supreme
was ideally located and fully complied with the guidelines of the sale and
purchase agreements.
“The structure is to meet LTE and 4G coverage requirements, which
is determined by frequency use.”
Mohamad declined however to comment when asked if the tower would
affect property value in the area.
