Cell tower exposure testing is essential for evaluating the power density emitted from cell towers and ensuring compliance with safety standards. Cell tower exposure testing can be performed using a spectral frequency analyzer, which accurately measures the radio frequency radiation emitted by cell phone towers.
During cell tower exposure testing, power density is measured in Watts per square meter across various frequency ranges using a spectral analyzer. These measurements are then compared to FCC exposure guideline levels to determine the extent of radio frequency radiation exposure. Comprehensive cell tower exposure testing ensures accurate assessments of potential health risks associated with radio frequency emissions.
Cell tower exposure testing is conducted in multiple locations, including apartments, common areas, and outdoor spaces, to assess radiation transmission intensities across several broadband frequency ranges. These frequency ranges typically include 0-to-1 gigahertz, 1-to-2 gigahertz, and 3-to-4 gigahertz, covering TV, radio, cell phone carrier, and Wi-Fi frequencies.

More About Cell Towers & Cell Tower Exposure Assessments ?
Often referred to as radiofrequency (RF) radiation, cell tower radiation is a type of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell towers and other wireless communication devices. Here’s a brief overview of what it involves:
Source: Cell towers emit RF radiation to provide wireless communication services, including cell phone, television, and radio signals. These towers are equipped with antennas and transmitters that send and receive radio waves.
Frequency Range: RF radiation from cell towers typically falls within the microwave range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is between about 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz. This range is used for various forms of wireless communication.
Non-Ionizing Nature: Unlike ionizing radiation (like X-rays or gamma rays), RF radiation is non-ionizing, meaning it doesn’t carry enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules. It’s generally understood to be less harmful because it doesn’t directly damage DNA or cells.
Safety Standards and Regulations: Various international and national agencies, like the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S., set guidelines and limits for RF exposure from cell towers. These standards are based on extensive research and are intended to protect public health.
Health Concerns and Research: There has been ongoing debate and research into whether RF radiation from cell towers can cause health issues. While some studies suggest a potential link to certain health problems, such as headaches or sleep disturbances, the overall scientific consensus to date is that RF radiation at the levels emitted by cell towers is unlikely to cause serious health effects, provided that the established safety standards are followed.
Exposure Levels: The level of RF radiation exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the cell tower. Therefore, the exposure level for individuals living or working near cell towers is typically well below the safety limits set by regulatory bodies.
Technological Developments: With the advent of new technologies like 5G, there’s ongoing research and updating of standards to ensure safety as frequency bands and transmission methods evolve.
It’s important to note that scientific understanding evolves with new research, and regulatory bodies continuously review and update safety guidelines as necessary.
What Others are Saying about Cell Tower Testing
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
The IARC has classified RF fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” based on limited evidence of a possible increase in risk for brain tumors among cell phone users, and inadequate evidence for other types of cancer.
Studies in people
Some people have expressed concern that living, working, or going to school near a cell phone tower might increase the risk of cancer or other health problems. However, very few human studies have focused specifically on cellular phone towers and cancer risk.
In one study, researchers compared a group of more than 2,600 children with cancer to a group of similar children without cancer. They found that those who lived in a town that could have exposed them to higher than average RF radiation from cellular phone towers in the previous 5 years had a slightly higher risk of cancer, although not of any certain type of cancer (like leukemia or brain tumors).
This above study estimated the children’s possible exposure based on the number of towers in their town and how strong the signals were from the towers. It did not look at actual exposure of any individual child based on how far their home or school was from a tower. This limitation reduces confidence in the results of the study.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states:
Some people are concerned about potential health effects, especially on the developing brains and bodies of children. Some studies suggest that heavy long-term use of cellphones could have adverse health effects. The EPA acknowledges that “At very high levels, RF energy is dangerous. It can heat the body’s tissues rapidly.
The US National Toxicology Program (NTP)
A recent large study by the US National Toxicology Program exposed groups of lab rats and mice to RF energy over their entire bodies for about 9 hours a day, starting before birth and continuing for up to 2 years (which is the equivalent of about 70 years for humans, according to NTP scientists). The study found an increased risk of tumors called malignant schwannomas of the heart in male rats exposed to RF radiation, as well as possible increased risks of certain types of tumors in the brain and adrenal glands.

They were awesome! They really exert the effort to make sure the mold inspection is done correctly. I wanted to test the air on a condo that we were purchasing (because it had a strong damp smell when you walked in). Thanks, Angstrom & Team for helping me in time.

Angstrom tested the water at each of the sinks in our daycare center for lead. They helped us get our license from the New York City Department of Health. They arrived on time and got the job done without any hassles and provided all the paperwork that I needed. Thanks again! Philip Bleeker
