Re: Seeking RF hazards expert

["H. G Claycamp" <hgc2+@pitt.edu>]

The analog communications are in the  950 MHz range and digital PCS runs
at 1.9 GHz.  No x-ray emissions.
The sites are exempt from "environmental study" as long as the total
Effective Radiated Power (ERP) is <=1000 W (1640 EIRP) for towers above 10
m.
The principal biological effect is tissue heating.  Exposures from even
the closest public access are well within normal metabolic heat
production.
