A member asked:
Are any cancers yet linked to cell phone towers nearby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They're not: If there were a cancer risk to those living nearby, the people who spend their lives working on the towers themselves would be getting sick. If this was happening, the unions would know. They're not getting sick. This is just one more foolish scare story made up by cynical people who want you to worry -- and worrying itself can make you sick.
