It is the antennas that people need to be at a distance from, not the structures that hold the antennas. It is critical to be aware of the difference between antennas (the objects that produce RF radiation), and the towers or masts or structures that the antennas are placed on. The consensus of the scientific community internationally is that the power from these mobile phone base station antennas is far too low to produce health hazards as long as people are kept away from direct access to the antennas. However, because both the phones and the base stations are low power (short range), the RF radiation exposure levels from them are generally very low. From that base station your phone call goes into the regular land-line phone system.īecause mobile phones and their base stations are two-way radios, they produce radio-frequency (RF) radiation (that is how they communicate), and they expose people near them to RF radiation. When you talk on a mobile phone, you (and perhaps dozens of other people around you) are talking to a nearby base station. A mobile phone (cell phone) is a low-power, single-channel, two-way radio. Is installation of such antennas hazardous to health?Ī:Mobile phone base stations are low-power multi-channel two-way radios. Our society wants to install a cell phone antenna (base stations) on the terrace just above my flat. Q: I stay on the top floor of my building.
