Greetings,
We are continuing to look for a house here in the states for my chemically and electrically sensitive wife.
We have two possibilities, but one is close to a large cell mast and a telephone company microwave antenna (not sure what this is, has big dish on it pointing away from the house). The distance is about 0.7 miles and was wondering if that is too close?
And more generally, what is a safe distance? In this case there are trees around, and there is not a line of sight to either tower. The two towers are close together, so the distances are essentially the same.
The other house, also surrounded by trees, is about 1.2 miles from the closest antennas, we are assuming that is a safe distance, or is it still not?
Many thanks for ideas and input.

There is not a 'safe' distance as there are always many factors to take into consideration. E.g. number of antennas/companies and systems, angle of tilt, both physical and electronic, power of transmitters, reflective/absorbtive surfaces in the vicinity, height of the transmitter in comparison to the property, etc.
The only way to know for sure what you will be exposed to is to measure the fields.
On the whole, dishes use very tightly focused beams that pass signals from one transmitter to the next. Very little reaches the ground (mechanical imperfections may create some ground exposure). They are ugly though and a psychological reminder, no small thing. |
