Cellphone Tower - a Slow Poison

Cellphone Towers within the city is growing like human population.In a never ending quest to ‘improve coverage’, telecommunications companies are setting up huge number of  towers and house owners are also allowing them as they pay huge rent for the tower being installed in their house.These towers emit Electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which is harmful over the limit.According to established norms, the radiation level of 600 milliwatts per metre square (mW/msq) is considered safe.But, with various companies installing towers is increasing the EMR over limit.The effect of this radiation is slow and its result may show up in some 15-20 years or so.So this is a slow poison. The government should take responsive actions to stop this.
