    Helpful Facts about Cell Tower Safety for Landlords

    October 26, 2020

    The facts about cell tower safety can be helpful to landlords and the general public. They draw the line between myth and truth. They also can promote goodwill and understanding.

    Current FDA regulations place limits on radiofrequency radiation from cell towers. Recent studies assure us that we are well within safety parameters. Still, there are others things we can do to ensure wellbeing.

    Here you’ll find a guide in summary form.  

    Wherever you live or work, awareness of personal risk is always the primary means in avoiding it. So, determine if you are closer than the safety-net of 400 meters away from the source of radiation. You can do this by using a map, and calculating the distance of the cell tower to you.

    In the event you are closer than you’d prefer, you’ll want to spend more time in spots where there’s less exposure. This means avoiding windows where the tower is in view. It also means staying in areas shielded by objects that absorb or barricade the radiation, like natural vegetation, trees, other structures and so on. 

    6 Steps to Cell Tower Radiation Safety

    1. Shield Roofs with Metal Foil
      Add a layer of specially constructed metal foil inside the roof to limit the amount of radiation let into your home. 

    2. Apply Protective Wall Coverings
      Supplement bare drywall by layering the wall interiors with conductive material to intercept radiation.

    3. Use EMF-Shielding Paint
      Painting interior walls with an EMF-shielding brand can create a barrier between you and any undesirable radiation. Follow company instructions when painting. Add grounding if indicated by the manufacturer.

    4. Wrap Windows with Film
      Use protective self-sticking window film to block harmful radiation from entering your home.

    5. Install Steel Doors
      Steel doors have conductive properties that can shield your interior from the radiofrequency radiation of a cell tower.

    6. Hang Metallic Mesh Curtains
      Add a canopy made of the durable material over your bed. Drape curtains over windows.

    Like everyone else, you want to enjoy the wonderful world of telecommunications. Using the above recommendations along with other healthy lifestyle choices will help you connect without exposing yourself to potentially harmful ramifications.
