Distance matters.
Epidemiological research examining cancer rates by distance from cell towers reveals patterns that warrant serious attention.
The Research
Belgium study (1999-2008)
Cancer incidence analysis examined rates by distance from mobile phone transmitter antennas in census tracts within 1008m radius. Total study population: 7,191 deaths by neoplasia.
0-100m from tower3,569 deaths
Highest risk zone
100-200m1,408 deaths
Very high risk
200-300m973 deaths
High risk
300-400m482 deaths
Moderate risk
400-500m292 deaths
Lower risk
500-1000m320 deaths
Low risk
1000-2000m~200 deaths (est.)
Very low risk
Important Considerations
- This research is based on epidemiological data and should be considered alongside other health factors.
- Multiple factors influence health outcomes beyond proximity to transmitters.
- This information is for educational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice.
- The full interactive tower map tool allows you to explore tower locations in your area.
Knowledge enables better decisions.
Understanding the research helps inform choices about living and working environments. Distance from transmitters is one of many factors to consider.
