Do you have particular insight into disease caused by non-ionizing radiation that the rest of the world is missing? I've seen no study that has been able to conclusively link non-ionizing radiation to human health problems, or really any other effect beyond a slight warming of tissue.

Without hard proof of such an effect from radio transmissions, your post falls into the bucket of baseless scaremongering. Behavior like this only results in impeding technological progress.




The effect of non-ionizing radiation is well know here is one for example... quoting "At present, the fact that NIR exerts both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on different physiological cellular parameters is rather unquestionable." Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9587915

The impact on specific diseases is still in its infancy, and thus shows little results. I doubt any oncologist would have install your proposed solution...


I'm going to need a whole lot more than one random study from 1998 to believe that. The whole idea seems very cooky and alarmist.
