Mobile Tower Health Safety Standards Regulation Requirements

Whilst the popular SARs standards define the Safety of Radiations from Mobile Phone manufacturers, a critical overlook in terms of Telecommunication policy generally, has been the consideration of safety of technology from mobile towers. As the frequency of transmission for mobile communication is increased to Gigahertz, the associated Energy required for transmission of communications, is also expected to increase exponentially. For example, ARPANSA (2002?) in Australia defines the safe levels of EMF radiation between 3KHz to 300GHz, certainly a higher range for considerations, including any resonating frequency for the human body, irrespective of its ionizing effects.


However, this is known to cause issues for Health, and high energy EMF waves can be a source of severe illnesses such as Cancer. Especially, when the resonating frequency of the human body is heavily subsidized by higher frequency EMF waves, the risk of Cancer would certainly increase exponentially, due to tumours being potentially encouraged by such energetic over-excitations. Certainly, for EMF waves to be harmful, it does not necessarily have to have an ionizing effect, and a match of the resonating frequency would suffice the enlargement and encouragement of tumors.


This forms a reason to investigate and develop a certain Safety Standards for Mobile Towers, especially with GHz transmissions. Whilst SARs addressed the actual handset, an additional Standard Definition by Regulation would be required to ensure a more realistic, and more considerative of resonating human cells, to be adjusted for the levels of Energy that can be applied by Mobile Phone Towers.


In essence, a Standard would be required that states:


Sf(T) <> Rf(H)   ... (formula 1)


where,


Sf(T) = Safe Levels of Energy transmitted by Mobile Towers

Rf(H) = Resonating Frequency of Human Cells


In order for Mobile Towers not be a considerable risk for Cancer.


For regulators, there would be a requirement for constant check of the wave transmissions from such Towers to ensure that it does not cause interference with the workings of a normal human body.


Hence, if the resonating frequency for the human body cells is between 1 to 20 Hz, mobile phone towers will have to consider that in the wireless communication between the tower and the handset, there is not any 5G Energy passed in this range. The expected energy range of 5G wave is about 5-10KWatt, this energy is not transmitted through the Human Frequency range of 1 to 20 Hz, whilst committing to a 5G or GHz transmission.


Indeed, to apply a 5-10 KWatt energy to the range of 1 to 20 Hz, would be a malfunction of the Mobile Phone Tower, potentially seriously injurious to human health, and indeed would require such urgent regulative rectifications.


So, enhancing formula 1,


Sf(T) <> 5-10KWatt

when,

fr(T) is between 1 and 20 Hz


where fr(T) is the transmission pathway of the wave from the Tower to the Receiving module.


Hence, Mobile Towers have to have better enhanced transmission capability that adjusts as per the receiving module frequency, to ensure that during a 5G Transmission intended for a GHz frequency, the energy does not get propagated in the range of 1 - 20 Hz at any time during transmission from the tower to the receiving module.


This can indeed be a risk, when poor modulation techniques used by the Tower, constantly increases the Energy for effective communication, when constantly the signal maybe dropped due to inadequate incapsulation, quite possibly in the 1 to 20Hz range, affecting human health of the population under the transmission tower.


Hence, the a primary regulative implications would be to ensure, that the  malfunctioning of a signal that is emmitted by the Tower, does not, in reality, fall upon Human Health.

  • The misunderstanding is mutual. My point, that you have missed, is that the "towers" as you call them are not the cause of greatest human exposure, that is the handsets, because they are typically less than half a metre from the user,often almost in contact, and not as you think the base stations on the towers, where the antennas are several  metres, sometimes tens of metres, off the ground level and are carefully designed to have a radiation pattern that is quite weak downwards, concentrating the energy to the horizon, to give maximum range in the cell. Rules if anything need to consider the handset user, as that exposure is at least a thousand times greater. Even if you could get close to the antennas on the mast, the power levels per user are only comparable, not greater.

    Please clarify which kind of " Resonating Frequency for Human Cells " you are considering, and remember that not all modes are excited by EM waves. I'm not aware of any phenomenon other than resistance heating associated with microwaves and RF exposure of the human body, and yes, generation of RF power, and antenna design, siting and safety rules that go with that  has been a large part of my professional career to date.


    If you are interested, I suggest you read report 321   as while dated, it has very good explanation of the science. Later reports tend to assume you have read and understood the earlier ones.


    Notice that the studies that find an   increased cancer risk in rats exposed to very high doses of RF   are considering doses equivalent to many times the RF power level per kilogram of body mass (practicaclly cooking the poor things), than is permitted for a  person holding a handset, and the power density from base stations are as above less than 1/1000 of that.
