cell phones) and antenna towers the same?
The exposure limits for portable transmitters (e.g. cell phones) and antenna towers are different because of different exposure conditions. Portable transmitters are normally used in close proximity to the body and result in partial body exposure. On the other hand, antenna towers are located at far distances from the body, and thus RF energy from them gives rise to whole body exposure. However, both must comply with Industry Canada’s regulatory limits for the protection of the general public.
