I saw a former neighbor who packed few months ago. He said the main reason why he packed is because of a newly built network mast close to our building. He said living close to a network mast can give you cancer. Is this true? 9 Likes

Nah, your phone also generate radiation and you are always with your phone 24/7 most especially when you are using those high radiated phones like Tecno and infinix product 53 Likes 3 Shares |

One cool Sunday evening, after smoking a huge fat blunt of kwale weed that a very good friend of mine had purchased all the way from Delta state when he came visiting few days back. I stepped out of my house, reckless... in search of something to do. I was filled with so much inspiration, most especially from the days church service I had attended in the morning. My Pastor was spitting fire... good Lord. I literally couldn't count the amount of times I stood up "kabashing" and wholeheartedly screaming at the top of my voice... "Ride on Pastor!!", "Papa, the Holy Spirit is in you", "Papa finish me with inspiration". I was filled. I can still recall my pastor saying... "Brethren, You can be anything you want to be..., believe in yourself,.... just believe in yourself and you can reach any height you desire. Remember God loves you. And that was how I did the unthinkable. I looked left and right, only for me to take notice the old rusty tall GLO mast that had been in front of my house for ages, abandon. Mumu me began to think recklessly. "Too much Inspiration fit loose guard person sometimes o". The Kwale weed accompanied with my pastors inspiration decided to take me to a much higher realm..... much more higher than I've ever been. I decided to climb the mast. For the next 5 minutes, My brothers and Sisters, I was still climbing. Well, I got to the top eventually but... nah there the wahala to come down for start. I was at the peak of the mast and I couldn't come down. The Kwale weed loose guard me. I con dey see double when I tried to look down. To cry for help con become wahala. Cold catch me.... I no go ever forget that day. 36 Likes 6 Shares |

From epidemiologic research, persons living in places where telecommunication masts are erected are vulnerable to disorders like cancer, lung diseases, sleep disturbances and even physical disabilities; though according to WHO research, there are no current scientific proofs of health hazards associated with Telecom towers. That last line is usually what the Telecommunication companies usually propagates to cover their track. Living close to Telecom mast is suicidal. 27 Likes 3 Shares |

This is why Environmental Impact Assessment is required for all projects. My firm was contracted by a company to carryout an Environmental Impact Assessment before they commenced their proposed project, we looked the impact, suggested very effective solutions and alternatives, in the end, the Federal Ministry of Environment hailed us for top notch job done. Today, the company is abiding by the solutions we proffer and all inhabitants around the project area are happy while their environment is still beautiful and amazing. 9 Likes 1 Share |

There are two types of electromagnetic radiation. Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The heat intensity when radiation meets with body tissue makes the difference in biological interaction. One analogy often used is to compare shooting with a bow and arrow with shooting with bazzoker. The difference in impact is clear. Whereas high intensity radiation would have pronounce effect on tissue, low intensity radiation when deposited on skin tissue does not have such immediate effect. Also, it depends on the type of tissue itself. Those masts produce radiomagnetic waves with low frequency so they are consider non-ionizing radiation. Now, remember that one effective way to protect against radiation is distance from the source of protection. Therefore in most residential areas, consideration is made in terms of building setbacks. You may want to know what actually happens when people are exposed to radiation. Two things, immediate effect (deterministic) and long term effect (Stochastic effect). The concern in this discussion would be centered on stochastic effect because there is no immediate effect of radiation such as seen in high energy exposure. Different tissue have different ability to absorb radiation (this is known as Skin Depth ). So, low intensity radiation do not have enough energy to separate electrons from atoms or break molecular bond that bind DNA. This is the main point of this matter. One example is the Microwave used at homes. Heat is produced by agitation of molecule by low intensity radiation causing the food to heat up. This why Microwaves are classified as non-ionizing radiation source. Ask yourself, do you want such in your body? Cancer is a kind of mutation caused by disruption in DNA sequence. The molecular bond must be broken by an energy that is strong enough to do so when it is absorbed by the tissue. Does non-ionizing radiation have such energy? A part from cancer, also think about this, other parts of the human body like the lens of the eyes, your epithelial linings and even the skin of new born are sensitive to radiation. Therefore, they would react differently. There are conditions like cataracts and erythema which are specific to these sensitive tissues. Basically, three things to do for protection Distance -Follow the setback code for building Time - Reduce the time spent near radiation source Shielding - The companies must contain the radiation by use of physical barriers when constructing this equipment. 23 Likes 3 Shares |

There is a reason they always give free electricity to d person d mast is close to him house, in d past they would even pay u like 15k monthly to look after the thing, as in, provide access to the people fueling & calling thier technicians Incase fault etcs. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Radiation of any kind is potentially harmful but it is all a factor of strength and duration. How powerful is the transmitter. What kind of radiation is it emitting. How long are you potentially exposed to it. 2 Likes |
