MTC verifies telecommunications antennas are not harmful
The Ministry of Transport and Communications ( MTC ) in Peru has issued a statement denying that telecommunications antennas are harmful .
The organizations says that in contrast to what some may claim , telecommunications antennas are not unsafe but instead have a positive impact on the population . MTC added that they enable the expansion and improvement of telecommunications services , especially in areas with limited coverage . as they are below 1 % of the maximum recommended limit considered safe by international organizations .
“ Antennas make efficient communication possible . That ’ s why we have emphasized the message about their value contributing to the demystification that they can be harmful to health . Our commitment is to rigorously monitor radiation levels to ensure the safety of the population ,” said Patricia Carreño , Vice Minister of Communications .
In a statement , the organization said that in a constantly growing market like Peru ’ s , there is a need for greater infrastructure deployment to ensure the quality of service to citizens . And in this regard , by 2025 , there should be more than 60,000 cellular base stations ( antennas ) to close the connectivity gap , according to OSIPTEL .
As a result , the MTC promotes the sustainable development of communication services and universal access to them . It also conducts awareness campaigns to address the myth that radiation generated by mobile antennas affects health .
MTC constantly measures Non-Ionizing Radiations ( NIR ) – the more than 3,000 measurements conducted guarantee their safety to health
