11. Are wireless telephone base stations safe? The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation pattern for an antenna array mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin pancake centered around the antenna system. The individual pattern for a single array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all forms of electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from the antenna. Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less than exposure very close to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact, ground-level exposure from such antennas is typically thousands of times less than the exposure levels recommended as safe by expert organizations. So exposure to nearby residents would be well within safety margins. Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply with limits for exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed by government agencies responsible for health and safety. Measurements made near cellular and PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have confirmed that ground-level exposures are typically thousands of times less than the exposure limits adopted by the FCC. In fact, in order to be exposed to levels at or near the FCC limits for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the height of the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course, very unlikely to occur. When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof or on others near by would probably be greater than those typically encountered on the ground. However, exposure levels approaching or exceeding safety guidelines should be encountered only very close to or directly in front of the antennas. In addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for such rooftop base stations, RF levels to the side and in back of these antennas are insignificant. General guidelines on antenna installations and circumstances that might give rise to a concern about an facility's conformance with FCC regulations can be found in A Local Government Official's Guide to Transmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance.

Are wireless telephone base stations safe?

The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station

antennas stations travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow

paths. For example, the radiation pattern for an antenna array

mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin pancake centered

around the antenna system. The individual pattern for a single

array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As

with all forms of electromagnetic energy, the power decreases

rapidly as one moves away from the antenna. Therefore, RF

exposure on the ground is much less than exposure very close

to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In

fact, ground-level exposure from such antennas is typically

thousands of times less than the exposure levels recommended

as safe by expert organizations. So exposure to nearby residents

would be well within safety margins.

Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required

to comply with limits for exposure recommended by expert

organizations and endorsed by government agencies

responsible for health and safety. Measurements made near

cellular and PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have

confirmed that ground-level exposures are typically thousands

of times less than the exposure limits adopted by the FCC. In

fact, in order to be exposed to levels at or near the FCC limits

for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would essentially

have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the

height of the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna.

This is, of course, very unlikely to occur.

When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF

levels on that roof or on others near by would probably be

greater than those typically encountered on the ground.

However, exposure levels approaching or exceeding safety

guidelines should be encountered only very close to or directly

in front of the antennas. In addition, for sector-type antennas,

typically used for such rooftop base stations, RF levels to the

side and in back of these antennas are insignificant. General

guidelines on antenna installations and circumstances that

might give rise to a concern about an facility's conformance

with FCC regulations can be found in A Local Government

Official's Guide to Transmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety:
