David Crete, a former Air Force Sergeant who worked at NTTR from 1983 through 1987, said that over 490 of his fellow workers have died of severe illnesses since being stationed at the secret facility. 'I have brain atrophy. The left side of my brain is shrinking and dying. That's not too bad. I'm one of the healthy ones,' Crete told the House Veterans Affairs Committee in April while lobbying for legislation to support the Area 51 veterans. The average age of death for someone who served in that unit is 65 and the youngest airman to die was just 33.

'In summary, this study shows that environmental exposure is lower when base station density is low,' said the study's lead author, epidemiology researcher Adriana Fernandes Veludo. 'However, in such a situation, the emission from mobile phones is by orders of magnitude higher.' This indicates that users in rural areas could be more exposed to RF-EMF due to their devices working harder to obtain signals rather than exposure from towers.
