Work to build facility was 13 years in the making, but some researchers have expressed concern about exposure to extremely low frequency waves
Project WEM will be able to communicate with submarines under the water, reducing need for them to surface
========================================================
China has built a giant experimental radio antenna on a piece of land almost five times the size of New York City, according to researchers involved in the highly controversial project.
The Wireless Electromagnetic Method (WEM) project took 13 years to build but researchers said that it was finally ready to emit extremely low frequency radio waves, also known as ELF waves. Those waves have been linked to cancer by the World Health Organisation-affiliated International Agency for Research on Cancer.
==================================================================
Very low frequency (VLF) radio waves have been used for years by the U.S. & others to communicate between land bases & submerged aubmarines, allowing them the ability to not have to surface in order to be in contact with their commanders. VLF radio waves penetrate sea water unlike radio waves of higher frequencies such as are used by ships & aircraft.
But the threat is the possibility that VLF radio energy can promote cancer.
