4 FAQs about Safe distance for building inverters for communication base stations

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.

How safe is a transmitter antenna?

When working close to transmitter antennas, the proper safety distances must be observed. The minimum safe distance from an antenna is measured in metres. The antenna generates electromagnetic fields at radio frequencies. Do not cross the compliance boundary. This equipment generates electromagnetic fields.

What are the exposure limits for antennas?

Only in the close vicinity of the antennas can the exposure limits sometimes be exceeded. The size of this area varies from a few centimeters for small in-building antennas up to several meters for antennas mounted in masts and on rooftops.

How far should a person with EMF sensitivity go?

Based on findings like these, a minimum safety distance of 1/4 mile (1320 feet) might be considered prudent. And again, individuals with EMF hypersensitivity or other serious health issues may want to consider a much greater safety distance, perhaps a half mile, or even more.
