You are not RF engineer.
A distance of 1300 feet is recommended as the minimum. Cell phone towers do emit radiation. There has been 2 well researched studies on this.

DP. Electrical engineer, digital design. You are in far more danger from the WiFi and cellphones in your house. You probably carry your phone next to your genitals.

As for 20ft, I am sure that's the horizontal distance. So unless you are building a house on stilts, you should be fine.

I cannot believe that you are an EE.

Would you be worried and still buy the property?
I have found some information by researching on the internet, but somehow the towers have gone up all over the county without any input from the residents

ya know they caused corona virus, right?

Idiot. The 5G towers are used to control the nanobots in the COVID vaccine.

This.
It's odd, it seemed to make no sense to use 5G when 4G has a much greater range, reliability, and requires a fraction of the number of towers.
Really got the conspiracy folks worked up with all that.

You’re thinking of millimeter wave spectrum, which is different than 5G. MMW spectrum was used for initial 5G deployments. Because it’s a higher frequency range than spectrum used for 4G, it has a shorter range, but does have faster speed and higher bandwidth (can carry more data). It’s not less reliable, that just depends on how well the coverage is done when it’s deployed. Although it’s also far more sensitive to obstructions, like even trees can stop the signal. So yeah, MMW didn’t make a lot of sense and required tons of small antennas all over the place, like on lampposts or utility poles.

Anyway, 5G is now on a range of frequencies, including ones that were used for 3G and 4G, which has improved coverage.

Same as a house where someone has died, you get a discount because there are a lot of idiots out there.

Which is why it is best to mitigate hazards when possible without going to extremes of course.

There is no hazard to mitigate with a cell phone tower.

Snarky but correct. I’d be more concerned about radon in this area or having a fireplace in the home that you use regularly or even a gas stove, all of which have been linked to cancer in a number of reputable papers recently. Cell phone towers… not so much.

A lot of morons on this board. People also used to think radio antenna were hazardous to be near.

Fcps puts those towers on many high schools and middle schools!

Or what? Are you going to move? Put your kiddo in private school?

Loudoun has stopped permitting them on schools. There are still a few schools that slipped them through but not many.
