I don’t want to right next to a cell tower

I realise that there is no firm evidence and it might be completely safe but due to personal experience, questions hang for me.

I think I’m seeing 4g towers that look like chunky lampposts going up everywhere in upbuilt areas. We are thinking of moving how can I find out where installations are planned because I would prefer not to have one on my doorstep.

Unless you’re absolutely in the middle
of nowhere you’ll be near to one. Quite a few are on church roofs nowadays and a nursing home me has one now. I may be wrong but I think providers had to publish where masts are but they don’t have to now.

Do you use a phone OP? The only way to reduce the amount of masts around is for a lot of people to ditch mobile phones so they’re not required but I can’t see that happening.

Thanks yes you are right and it won’t happen. I’m more thoughtful around reducing exposure for young children. I do have a phone and my career is in IT so I’m not about to go off grid however I would like to limit the avoidable...

Unfortunately not all cell transmitters are on large very obvious metal towers. Most are on roofs of tall buildings and you might not even notice them so it’s hard to avoid unless you live in the middle of nowhere

Read sense about science on the subject. Now worry about the car crash which is much more likely.
