Muriel: I know of no such standards or recommendations. Unfortunately, if you could think to ask the question, someone else is eventually going to think that there should be such recommendations or regulations.
Considering that the forest, lakes, land are bombarded with 1 kW per square meter of solar radiation, I would think that radiation from cell towers, broadcast towers, etc, is almost totally insignificant in comparison. I think that perhaps the rain forest is more threatened by other factors than by RF. You asked an interesting question, is there some particular reason why you asked? Regards, Jacob Z.

Is there any standard/recommendation related | to this case (only for non-ionizing radiation, ie, EM radiation). | | Thanks in advance and Regards, | | Muriel | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------- | This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety | Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list. | | Visit our web site at: http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/emcs/pstc/ | | To cancel your subscription, send mail to: | [email protected] | with the single line: | unsubscribe emc-pstc | | For help, send mail to the list administrators: | Ron Pickard: [email protected] | Dave Heald: [email protected] | | For policy questions, send mail to: | Richard Nute: [email protected] | Jim Bacher: [email protected] | | All emc-pstc postings are archived and searchable on the web at: | http://ieeepstc.mindcruiser.com/ | Click on "browse" and then "emc-pstc mailing list" | ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
