Growing evidence shows that cell phone towers and wireless radiation harm trees.

Cell phone towers have become a ubiquitous feature of the modern landscape, enabling fast and reliable wireless communication.

But as these towers multiply, questions have emerged about their impact on the natural world—particularly on trees. While the general public is often more concerned about possible health effects on humans, a growing body of research suggests that trees may also be quietly suffering from long-term exposure to the radiofrequency radiation emitted by these towers.

As cell phone towers multiply, research suggests they may be quietly harming nearby trees.

A 2016 study in Germany found trees closer to towers showed more damage—especially on the side facing the source—over a nine-year period. Other studies report reduced growth, leaf damage, and signs of oxidative stress in plants exposed to radiofrequency radiation.

Though RF radiation is non-ionizing, prolonged exposure may subtly disrupt plant physiology. Not all scientists agree on the severity of the risk, and environmental factors like drought or pollution also play a role. Still, trees are rooted in place and exposed continuously, making even small stressors potentially harmful over time. As wireless infrastructure expands, the possible ecological impact on urban greenery and surrounding ecosystems is gaining attention.

While more research is needed, trees may be the overlooked victims of our always-connected world.

The science is not yet settled, but it is clear that trees may be the unintended casualties of our wireless age. In our rush for faster, more connected lives, we may be overlooking the slow, silent suffering of the natural world around us.

270 • Beya's What If

"What if you were told to do something to help them… that would hurt them?
What if you were told that they would fight it, that they would thrash and not know what's best for them?
What if somebody made a mistake and misread the whole situation?
What if more people made that mistake… and established structures of care doing terrible harm?
What would it look like if that happened?
How would we make the necessary distinctions?
How could we build a bridge to know one another again?"
