The document discusses the radiation pattern of cell tower antennas, highlighting that people living within 50 to 300 meters of these towers are at high risk of electromagnetic radiation exposure. A reference report from 2007 notes concerns about health effects, supported by observations of several cancer cases in a specific building facing mobile phone towers. The report emphasizes the need to consider the potential health implications of antenna radiation on nearby residents.

2. Radiation Pattern of a Cell Tower Antenna
Propagation of "main beam“ from antenna mounted on a tower or roof top
People living within 50 to 300 meter radius are in the
high radiation zone (dark blue) and are more prone to
ill-effects of electromagnetic radiation.
