Abstract
Cell phone towers emit radio frequencies (RF) 24 h a day and we absorb them continuously. We also absorb RF from the cell phone when we use it, indicating possible public health issues. These cell phone towers, owned and operated by service providers, use power 24 h a day. Consequently, power for this technology also contributes to global CO2 pollution, which is expected to rise because of current explosion in wireless data. Almost all countries around the globe face this dilemma, giving rise to ever-increasing Global RF & CO2 pollution.
