Please read these articles that show cell towers cause serious health risks. hM2s://ehtrust.org/cell-towers-and-cell-antennae/compilation-of-research-studies-on-cell- tower-radiation-and-health/ "Electromagnetic Fields: A Hazard to Your Health?" on Cell Tower Radiation "In recent years, concern has increased about exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phones and phone station antennae.
