Building a new tower or collocating an antenna on an existing structure requires compliance with the Commission’s rules for environmental review. These regulatory processes ensure that appropriate measures are taken to protect environmental and historic resources.
An analysis of 100 studies published in Environmental Reviews found approximately 80% showed biological effects near towers. “As a general guideline, cell base stations should not be located less than 1500 ft from the population, and at a height of about 150 ft” (Levitt 2010).
Many communities have policies, ordinances or zoning that ensures cellular antennas are restricted to a specific minimum distance from schools. Hempstead, New York requires a special use permit for cell towers near schools. Milpitas, California: School Board asked Crown Castle and T-Mobile to relocate the cell tower to remote location.
Academy of Sciences Journal found the highest RF levels in areas where the cell phone base station antennas were placed on top of utility poles, street lamps, traffic lights or other posts near to the street.
Antenna Structure Painting and Lighting The ASR program fulfills the Commission's statutory duty to require the painting and lighting of antenna structures that may pose a hazard to air navigation. Based on FAA recommendations, the Commission requires the structure to be painted and lighted as necessary to make it conspicuous to aircraft.
measured 2 apartments and found that the apartment with high RF levels had outdoor areas as close as 6 meters (about 19.6 feet) from transmitting base station cell antennas. In contrast, the apartment with low RF exposure had cell antennas at 40 meters (about 131 feet) away from the balcony.
