Health Concerns
Radio Frequencies are non-ionizing emissions –they do not damage DNA.
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) -exposure to RF fields from cell towers less than 1/100th exposure from mobile devices.
Factors that affect amount of exposure RF fields:
The distance and path to the nearest cell phone tower.Being farther from tower requires more energy.
The amount of cell phone traffic in the area at the time.Higher traffic requires more energy.
Federal law states Cities cannot prohibit wireless service.
Cities CANNOT regulate location:
•If location eliminates demonstrated service gaps
•If facilities comply with the FCC regulations
Cities CAN regulate aesthetic issues, including height.
