Tanzania’s Communications Sector Regulator (TCRA) has released a study of cell tower radiation findings from nine different sites within the country. All reports indicate that Tanzania’s communications industry is operating well within established safety parameters, reports The Daily News.
“Through comprehensive testing procedures, TCRA ensures that communication towers adhere to safety limits, providing a safe and secure environment for communication service users,” stated Dr. Jabiri Bakari, TCRA’s Director General. “By maintaining communication infrastructure that emits radiation levels well within established safety thresholds, TCRA prioritizes the health and well-being of its citizens.” The Tanzanian government commissioned the study to help calm public fears about possible safety issues stemming from cell tower communications.
