How much exposure can a radio base station have?

On the ground, in houses, and other places where people reside, the exposure levels from radio base stations are normally below 1 percent of the limits. Only in the close vicinity of the antennas can the exposure limits sometimes be exceeded.

What facilities should be provided for the charging and storage of batteries?

For the safe charging and storage of batteries, facilities shall be provided to include fire protection and adequate ventilation. The safe distance for charging and storage areas should be maintained outside of this special designated area.

How far away from a mobile tower is EMF radiation strongest?

The first “radiation lobe” (the beam of the mobile tower) lands around 150ft, which is where EMF radiation is strongest. After that, there’s a direct correlation between distance and radiation intensity. So, the farther away from the tower you are, the less radiation you’re exposed to.

How much RF exposure should a cell site transmitter have?

In the case of cellular and PCS cell site transmitters, the FCC's RF exposure guidelines recommend a maximum permissible exposure level to the general public of approximately 580 microwatts per square centimeter.

Is it possible to predict a safe distance from cell towers?

It is also difficult to predict a safe distance from cell towers. For example, cell towers are designed to transmit most of their radio frequency (RF) energy horizontally. Some areas below the tower may have lower levels than locations farther away that are more in line with the vertical height of the antennas.

Do mobile phones need a base station?

Mobile phones and other mobile devices require a network of base stations in order to function. The base station antennas transmit and receive RF (radio frequency) signals, or radio waves, to and from mobile phones near the base station. Without these radio waves, mobile communications would not be possible.
