Research has documented crown damage in trees from the radiation from cell towers and scientific reviews show that plants are sensitive.
Electromagnetic (EMF) frequencies have been found to alter the growth and development of plants. Studies on wireless EMF frequencies have found physiological and morphological changes, increased micronuclei formation, altered growth as well as adverse cell characteristics such as thinner cell walls and smaller mitochondria. Plants perceive and respond to electromagnetic fields .
A field study that monitored over 100 trees for 9 years entitled Radiofrequency radiation injures trees around mobile phone base stations published in Science of the Total Environment found a high level of damage to trees in the vicinity of phone masts (Waldmann-Selsam 2016). The authors conclude that “deployment has been continued without consideration of environmental impact.”
