  4. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT ANTENNA RADIATION How close to an elementary school can a FCC licensee build a cell tower without creating any potential health risks for the children? Can metal playground equipment and fencing near a FCC-licensed antenna site produce signal “hot spots” that may jeopardize children’s health?

  5. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT ANTENNA RADIATION • Is it possible for signals from a FCC-licensed transmission tower to interfere with melatonin treatments for breast cancer? • How can FCC-licensed tower operators avoid disorienting the directional flight mechanism of migratory birds at night?

  6. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT ANTENNA RADIATION • What measures could be employed to prevent FCC-licensed towers from causing infertility among nesting birds and their natural food sources? • How close can a FCC-licensed antenna site be built to a family residence without producing sleep disturbances, headaches, impaired hearing, dizziness, rashes, vision disturbances, or nausea in any of the occupants?
