Advocates residential setbacks of at least 300 meters for smaller base stations and typically half a mile or more for larger facilities. Supplies a list of attached research documents offered in support of those siting proposals.

  • Towers & siting: a relatively low-height "small cell" base station (such as those on lamp posts) should be no closer than 300 meters to a residence.
  • Exposure limits & oversight: a large "macro cell" facility typically should be half a mile or more from any home.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit information regarding biological effects and potential health hazards of low-level, long-term exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR).

I am uploading here several recent, well-written RFR-related scientific documents. Each one is relevant to the ongoing campaign by many doctors and scientists worldwide to restrict mobile phone base stations (cell towers) to locations at least 300 meters away from residential homes.

Currently, in most countries, telecommunications providers are allowed to site base stations almost wherever they want. Yet much scientific evidence now supports the idea that a relatively low-height "small cell" base station (such as those on lamp posts) should be no closer than 300 meters to a residence. The same body of evidence suggests that a large "macro cell" facility typically should be half a mile or more from any home.
