Where are the most common places I can be overexposed to RF radiation?
Regrettably, a fundamentally flawed system exists to protect all workers and ensure compliance with applicable regulations. RF health and safety strategies that currently exist were developed in, and for, a bygone era. According to the wireless industry association, CTIA, in 1996 less than 23,000 wireless antennas were scattered throughout the United States. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of antenna sites, many with multiple (i.e., collocated) antennas. An estimated 600,000 commercial and governmental antennas exist across the nation, a number projected to double in coming years. In the past, the limited number of antenna sites were isolated, could be fenced and access restricted to RF trained technicians. Today, antennas are everywhere. They are on rooftops, the sides of buildings, billboards, utility poles, light standards, camouflaged and hidden entirely within building structures. Dependent upon the particular trade or work to be performed, the risk of overexposure is great
