What exactly are the emissions from mobile phone masts?

Mobile phone masts and the associated cabins are properly called radio base stations. Not every installation is a mast. Operators also use existing structures. buildings or pylons for example. Radio base stations (and handsets) utilise electromagnetic fields (EMFs) to transfer information and make mobile communications possible. These EMFs form part of what is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum ranges from low frequency (such as electric power transmission), through radio frequency (used for mobile communications) and visible light, and on to the high frequency forms such as ultraviolet, x-rays and cosmic rays. It is important not to confuse mobile communications with the ionising radiation such as x-rays and nuclear decay. There is simply not enough energy in radio base station signals to alter biological structures. Electromagnetic fields occur naturally in sunlight, lightning and the earths magnetic field – and they are used for television and radio transmission, by
