What should I do if the communication tower affects the base station

How far away should a cell tower be from a city?

Although people have reported health symptoms with cell towers a mile or more away studies indicate that a 500 Meter buffer from cell towers is recommended due to reported health effects and limiting liability to cities.

Do cell towers affect property values?

Cell towers are increasingly common throughout the US. Close proximity to cell towers has been found to reduce property values and the health effects of RF radiation exposure emitted from cell towers remains unclear.

Why are scientists urging cell towers to be reduced?

Hundreds of scientists are urging that our exposure to cell towers, cell phones, and other wireless radiation emissions be reduced due to the scientific evidence showing effects at legally allowable levels. These scientists have written letters to schools and lawmakers urging that children and the public be protected.

Why are cell towers allowed in the United States?

Laws in the U.S., starting with the Telecommunications Act of 1996, have been added to allow permitting of more and more cell towers with less and less local government or citizen input while eliminating consideration of health or environmental effects.

How do cell towers and mobile phones work?

Cell towers and mobile phones and devices use radiofrequency (RF) waves in the range above FM radios and below microwave ovens and radar. Lower frequencies closer to FM radio waves can travel further while higher frequencies travel shorter distances.

How do base stations work?

Base stations transmit and receive radio waves to connect the users of mobile phones and other devices to mobile communications networks. 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.
