Summary
Details

Mobile tower radiation refers to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell phone towers. This radiation includes radio waves, microwaves, and other types of electromagnetic waves that are used for communication between mobile devices and the tower.

The potential health effects of mobile tower radiation have been the subject of ongoing research and debate. While some studies suggest that exposure to this type of radiation can have negative health consequences, such as an increased risk of cancer, others suggest that the levels of radiation emitted by mobile towers are too low to cause harm.

The effect of mobile phone tower radiation on plants is a relatively new field of observation. It emerged due to concerns over the potential harmful effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (NIER) emitted by mobile phone towers on living organisms, including plants.

The growing popularity of mobile phones and the increasing number of mobile phone towers worldwide have intensified the need for more research on the effects of mobile phone tower radiation on plants. The goal of such research is to determine the potential risks associated with exposure to NIER and to develop measures to minimize or prevent any harmful effects on plant species.

Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (NIER) refers to a type of electromagnetic radiation that does not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. Examples of NIER include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, and visible light.

NIER is generally considered to be less harmful than ionizing radiation, such as X-rays and gamma rays, which have enough energy to ionize atoms and molecules, and can cause damage to cells and DNA.

However, there is still ongoing research into the potential health effects of long-term exposure to NIER, particularly from sources such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi, and other wireless devices. Some studies suggest that NIER exposure may have adverse effects on human health, such as increased risk of cancer, cognitive impairment, and other health problems.
