Mobile phone base stations: radio waves and health
The strength of the radio waves from base station antennas reduces rapidly with increasing distance and the levels at locations where the public can be exposed tend to be small.
The strength of the radio waves from base station antennas reduces rapidly with increasing distance and the levels at locations where the public can be exposed tend to be small.
In Table 1 are presented the minimum safe distances for GSM 900, GSM 1800 and 3G base stations, in terms of public and occupational exposure.
This calculator helps you determine safe distances based on tower type (2G to 5G), transmission power, antenna configuration, and safety standards.

Typical levels from base stations in publicly accessible areas are far below international safety recommendations. This is comparable to radio and television broadcast services, which have

Many studies were made in this field and they did not prove that there is no effect for the EMF radiated from the mobile base stations. So, in this paper a procedure will be proposed to
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
The guidelines apply to mobile phones as well as base station sites and incorporate wide safety margins to protect against all established health effects of RF exposure.
In Table 1 are presented the minimum safe distances for GSM 900, GSM 1800 and 3G base stations, in terms of public and occupational exposure.
Measurements made near typical cellular and PCS cell sites have shown that ground-level power densities are well below the exposure limits recommended by
