In today's world, with the widespread use of the Internet and the increase in mobile towers, concerns about their environmental impact have grown. In particular, there are worries about the extinction of birds and insects. While some studies suggest that radiation may have harmful effects, many scientists remain sceptical of these claims.
Currently, bird and insect populations are declining due to various factors, including climate change, habitat destruction, and the increased use of pesticides. While radiation may play a role in this process, it is not yet clear if it is a significant factor.
As mobile towers increased with technological advancement, scientists began investigating the issue, but the results have been inconsistent. Some studies report negative effects on bird breeding and migration, but these findings are not universal.
In the future, with further technological development and more research, we will obtain more precise information. It is possible that new technologies could be developed to reduce tower radiation, making it safer for birds and insects.
We must rely on scientific research and take greater responsibility for the environment. Experts point out that radiofrequency (RF) radiation can reduce bird reproduction rates and disrupt the food chain for insects. In some areas, bird populations have declined by 30-50 per cent, possibly due to radiation effects. While this issue should not be ignored, it is important to recognise that other factors also contribute to population declines.
Research efforts should be intensified. More studies are needed to examine the relationship between radiation and wildlife. Public awareness must also be raised, encouraging people to take an active role in protecting the environment. Environmental impacts should be carefully considered when constructing mobile towers.
These issues cannot be overlooked. The relationship between radiation and the environment should be approached from a scientific view. False or unverified information should not be believed or spread, as it only hinders informed decision-making.
