Abstract

Mobile phones and their base stations transmit and receive signals using electromagnetic waves. In this study, effects of RF radiation from mobile phone base stations on human health have been examined extensively. Researches and international regulations in this matter are compared with the measured values in Turkey in order to make it clear if base stations are threatening our bodies, and so our lives. Then, a conclusion has been obtained related to the health effects of base stations.
