Accra, May 6, GNA - Ghanaian scientists say radio frequency (RF) radiation emitted by antennae on telecom towers are not harmful to human health.
The scientists, drawn from the World Health Organisation (WHO), Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Communication Authority (NCA), told journalists at a day's workshop that public anxiety about the health hazards of RF radiation from telecom antennae was unfounded.
The workshop was organised by the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication (GIFEC), to educate the public through the media about the unfounded adverse effects of RF radiations, and the need for more telecom towers to improve coverage and quality of service.
There has been huge public anxiety about the spread of telecom towers in residential areas due to fears that radiation from the antennae is cancerous.
Tower radiation harmless.
