Civil initiatives in Slovenia against the installation of GSM-R towers

The introduction of a digital radio system (GSM-R) within the Slovenian railway network projected, estimated at EUR 150 million, is facing the protest of local communities.  The installation of 252 base stations (GSM-R towers), part of the main project of modernizing the Slovenian railway network, has raised concerns over the impact of electromagnetic radiation on human health, the visual impact  of 30 meters high iron towers and the installation of additional transmitters.
