If you've ever been through a city and spotted tiny 5G cell towers on the poles of street lights. They look like small boxes however, they're actually transmitting wireless signals from cellular providers to your phone.

The smaller ones are being replaced by larger specially-designed cell towers. Although they're not as visible, they still can cause problems for people.
safe distance from 5g tower is the Federal Communications Commission's Radiation Exposure Thresholds

The FCC's Radiation Exposure Thresholds determine the safe limit at which one can expose to electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices. The limits for exposure are based upon scientific research that show that RF energy can be harmful to health.

The absorption rate specific (SAR) is an indicator of the radiofrequency energy taken up by tissues. It's typically 1.6 watts per kilogram, calculated over one kilogram of tissue.

Since 5g is able to transmit at higher frequencies, it has the potential to increase the intensity of energy on the skin as well as other body areas. This could lead to many possible harms, such as an increase in development of skin diseases such as dermatitis, cataracts and skin cancer.

Due to the possible negative effects of 5G radiation, PSU has chosen to establish a general, localized maximum power density of four mW/cm2 based on the average across 1 centimeter, and never to exceed 30 minutes for all 5G services at 3000 GHz. This limit for localization is in line with the peak SAR spatial-average of 1.6 W/kg, which is averaged over 1 grams of tissues at six GHz.
The FCC's Maximum Exposure Thresholds

If you've ever operated a cell phone, you're probably aware that a safe range from the tower is at least 400 meters away. This is because the power of transmission from cell towers increases drastically the further you are from it.

While it sounds like a good idea, the reality is that people living in close proximity to towers might be more susceptible to health problems. For instance, a 2014 study in India discovered that people living within 50 meters of cell towers had much more health problems than those who lived farther away from the antennas.

This study found that people who moved to areas that were further from the cell towers saw their symptoms improve within a couple of days. Another study has shown that exposure to high frequencies of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could cause brain tumors, cancer as well as other health issues.

This is due to the fact that RF radiation, used in wireless communication, can penetrate the human body's outer layer, which is the skin. It is crucial to know since the skin serves as a protective barrier against mechanical injury, infection by pathogenic microorganisms, and the entry of harmful substances. It is also the most important organ of the human body. It is responsible for maintaining the integrity of other organs.
The FCC's Minimum Exposure Thresholds for the Minimum Exposure



The FCC's Minimum Exposition Thresholds depend on several assumptions that aren't supported by evidence from science. These include the erroneous assumption that short-term exposures to RF radiation are safe because of the minimal radiation penetration in the human body (i.e. thermal heating of tissue).

This assumption does not take into account the greater penetration of ELF components of modulated RF signals and the effects of brief bursts of heat caused by RF pulses. These theories are not compatible with the current understanding of biological consequences of RF radiation. Therefore they should not be considered for health protection exposure standards.

Additionally, the ICNIRP and FCC limit their maximum radiation limits for local peak SARs, based on the peak frequency of absorption (psSAR) which is not a reliable dosimetric instrument to assess the amount of radiation exposure. In particular, psSAR is inaccurate for frequencies above 6 GHz. Additionally, psSAR hasn't been evaluated for RF radiation with co-exposure to other agents of the environment such like sunlight. Interactions of RF radiation and other environmental agents may produce synergistic or antagonistic effects. This would result in the risk of having adverse health adverse effects. For example, co-exposure to RF radiation with sunlight may raise the chance of developing skin cancer, and may also exacerbate other skin disorders, such as acne.
