Investigation of the effects of distance from sources on apoptosis, oxidative stress and cytosolic calcium accumulation via TRPV1 channels induced by mobile phones and Wi-Fi in breast cancer cells
is from Elsevier.
It considered oxidative stress on certain breast cancer cell cultures as a function of distance and frequency of several WiFi signals.
It did look at distance — not from a tower, but from a cell phone, and found that the control group had no statistically significant difference from 20 cm and 25 cm separation.
Have read into detail to suss out in vivo vs in vitro, study design, or sample size.
Or of course, regular tissue compared to breast cancer cells.
Yes, I dealt with this when on a county planning commission. People were protesting a phone tower placement on top of a mountain so steep you couldn’t walk up it. And the signal path went way above all housing in the area.
We ignored them and approved the tower.
I had a good friend who worked around a lot of RF emitting equipment in larger DOD server and communications equipment rooms. He died in his 40s of Lou Gehrig's disease.
I had a cousin who allowed a microwave tower to be installed on his property, about 300 yrds from his home. He died of a similar disease.
I'm not sayin' that's what killed them. But, my home router has one 2.4G channel and 2 each 5G channels. I only turn on the 2.4G radio. If microwave level freq. was entirely safe, then screens shielding microwave door windows, nor copper gaskets sealing microwave tubes would not be necessary.
Just sayin'...
From a distance of 1 foot, it penetrates the skin for about 1mm.
From 10 ft it does not penetrate at all.
Just like it has such a hard time penetrating windows/walls/fog and rain.
“The higher the Frequency shorter the distance. A person would have to climb a Cell Tower and hug the antenna to get radiated.”
yep, what you said.
Reminds me of the sixties when the hippies were raving about nuclear radiation from atmospheric testing. In that case, they were probably right, though. The government was trying to compare it with the supposedly huge amounts that we get from the sun. I remember a college professor of mine saying to get that much radiation from the sun you’d have to sunbathe for hours with a plutonium rod up your ___ .
That could be a shocking experience!
