Base station radiation, although harmful, but far from being so horrible. According to the popular network reports, China's communications base stations in line with national standards require that the electric field strength is far less than 12 volts / m, the power density is far less than 40 microwatts / square centimeter, this standard is even lower than the level of cell phones, computers, radiation levels.
In the mobile communication frequency band (800MHz-2100MHz), the electromagnetic radiation standards set by China are 11.25 to 26.25 times stricter than those recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Therefore it will not affect the health of nearby residents.

Many people believe that as long as the removal of base stations, electromagnetic radiation will be reduced, and the more base stations, the greater the electromagnetic radiation, in fact, this is a misunderstanding. Prof. Zhang Xueping, a member of the Electromagnetic Spectrum Safety and Control Professional Committee of the China Command and Control Society, explained in an interview with Chongqing Morning Post that a mobile communication base station can cover a certain range of areas.
However, in order to improve the quality of communication services in busy areas, operators will build multiple mobile communication base stations in this area, which will divide the cell phone terminals into smaller areas, and shorten the distance between the base stations due to the reduced coverage area of each base station.
If the operator does not reduce the transmit power of each base station, the base stations will definitely interfere with each other, so when building multiple mobile base stations centrally in a certain area, the operator usually reduces the transmit power of the base stations, which can reduce the electromagnetic radiation of the base stations.
