It depends on the intensity of the radiation. However, several research have reported the harmful nature of such radiation. Keeping a distance from the towers will reduces the radiation effect.
IARC also noted that exposure to the brain from RF fields from cell phone base stations (mounted on roofs or towers) is less than 1/100th the exposure to the brain from mobile devices such as cell phones. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states: “At very high levels, RF energy is dangerous.
If you live within a quarter mile of a cell phoneantenna or tower, you may be at risk of serious harm to your health, according to a German study cited at www.EMF-Health.com, a site devoted to exposing hazards associated with electromagnetic frequencies from cell phone towers and other sources.
