I am interested in this information because we live in Mexico on a mountain 
where there are several tv, radio, and cell phone towers.  I am quite ignorant 
on these matters and I don't even know if we are higher exposed to signals and 
magnetic fields than those who don't live where we do.  The closest tower is a 
radio one and is about 150m away and there is a radio station that uses 
microwaves about 150m away, then there are other TV, Radio and Cell towers in 
an adjacent hill that is about 1-2 km away.  Also, there is a small cell mast 
with dishes about 6m away from my daughter's preschool. I have read some 
articles on the link between cancer and towers, but haven't read about more 
subtle effects.  Can there be changes in mood, depression, anxiety??? What 
about the developing nervous system of children?? I basically want to know if 
the magnetic fields and signals emmitted may decrease "happiness" "life 
satisfaction".... I thank you in advance for your time and wise response...
