Measure Mobile Phone Tower Radiation | Protect Yourself from Mobile Phone Tower Radiation
Mobile phone towers or base stations, NBN towers and other telecommunications transmitters convey information using radiofrequency radiation that the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified as a Class 2B Carcinogen. And they generally transmit these signals 24 hours a day.
Radiofrequency radiation:
- increased the risk of brain tumours, especially in young people
- caused sperm damage consistent with infertility
- caused oxidative stress (free radical damage) that is found in many health problems and contributes to ageing
- damaged DNA
- interfered with hormones, including melatonin (a potent free-radical scavenger).
- Is a Class 2B carcinogen.
Studies show people living close to mobile phone base stations had higher than average levels of cancer, hormonal problems and symptoms such as headaches, nausea, fatigue, sleep problems, depression and loss of libido.
It is the consistency of the base station epidemiological literature from several countries that we find striking. In particular, the increased prevalence of adverse neurobehavioral symptoms or cancer in populations living at distances <500 metres from base stations found in 80 per cent of the available studies.

Warning
Be sure to use only products that can be demonstrated to work. Some companies make claims that their products protect against electro-magnetic radiation or ‘harmonise’ radiation, however their products are not tested to demonstrate they are effective in reducing exposure and we’ve often measured the same exposures with and without harmonising devices in place.
We advise only using products that can be demonstrated to work to give you the peace of mind that you’re actually being protected.
You can see the test reports demonstrating the effectiveness of our products on this website.
