Base Transceiver Stations BTS popularly known as phone masts have never been found to cause disease or harm. According to a WHO report no adverse short or long term health effects have been shown to occur from the radio frequency signals produced by mobile towers. As per the report submitted by a committee formed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, radio frequency exposure from mobile phone towers is much less than from FM radio and television transmissions.
