ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I highly recommend and ask that you all do research into the workers who are exposed to this RF on a daily basis. As someone who used to work on cell phone towers there would be days that equipment was pointed right at us from an adjacent tower and we could taste metal in our mouthes, sometimes get terrible headaches, sometimes even ringing in the ear. As to whether or not it’s harmful to the daily person not as close to the antennas, I’m not sure but research most certainly should be done into the workers who are around them all the time. I’m 25 and got out of the industry due to lack of RF and other safety regulations but hearing some of the stories from folks who have been in longer made me wonder and reconsider what I was doing for work. If you all would like to speak with some more climbers please reach out to Climber Protection Group, we’d be happy to provide more information.
