As the
Environmental Health Trust explains, "The health effects of wireless
radiation extend beyond human health...Despite numerous studies showing harmful
effects from wireless and non-ionizing radiation, the current reality is that
insects, birds and airborne species like bats that live in close proximity to
cell tower antennas are unprotected because RF regulations do not apply to
wildlife. Trees, plants and bacteria have also been found to be impacted by RF
exposure, yet they are also ignored by FCC’s human centric regulations."
The Environmental Health Trust provides numerous links to scientific articles on
the following page, indicating the effects anthropogenic electromagnetic
radiation has on wildlife.
From
the journal, Reviews on Environmental Health, two very detailed articles
were published on May 27, 2021, and July 8, 2021, which explain the effects of
increased environmental electromagnetic radiation on plant and animal life, with
numerous research articles in the bibliography:
Published
in the journal, Health Physics, in January 2023, this report summarizes
effects of anthropogenic electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields in the
frequency range from 0 to 100 MHz on flora and fauna, as presented at an
international workshop held November 5-7, 2019, in Munich, Germany; recommending
further studies are conducted, aiming at the identification of the interaction
mechanisms and the ecological consequences.
A 2006
- 2016 German study of over 700 individual trees over 10 years, provides clear
documentary evidence, including numerous before and after photos, indicating
cellular communication masts and antennas (base stations) definitely damage and
kill trees.
Some of the trees in the study above were also part of a larger tree study published in the Journal, Science of the Total Environment, 572 (2016) 554-569. This article also contains numerous clickable links to other scientific articles in the bibliography at the bottom.
