Phone Tower and Radio Frequency (RF) Testing and Shielding

radio_frequency_300.jpg Are you concerned that nearby mobile phone towers may be responsible for your headaches or sleep disturbances?

Or are you unsure about the effects of your new wireless internet system or cordless phone on your health?

 

Concerns about radio frequencies and health

Nearby mobile phone towers and household and business wireless equipment are the main sources of radio frequencies (RF) in buildings.

While controversy abounds regarding the adverse health effects of these frequencies, some conditions which may be associated with RF include

Minimising RF exposure preferably involves elimination of the radiation source. When this is not possible, the use of shielding materials may be required.

Tips for reducing exposure to radio frequencies are included in the 20 page Building Wellness book which is available from our on-line shop

 

Building Wellness building biology service - RF testing procedure

When conducting RF testing of a home or workplace, the consultant will

  • Speak with you to determine your specific needs
  • Visit your site at an agreed time
  • Take RF readings in the required parts of the building using a professional RF meter
  • Measure radiation emissions from microwave ovens and wireless appliances
  • Discuss all readings and explain areas of concern
  • Recommend the easiest and most cost effective ways to address areas of concern

While there is much debate around what constitutes a safe level of exposure to radio frequency radiation, building biologists, who are concerned about the potential adverse effects of RF exposure, recommend low exposure levels that are in line with the most stringent international standards.


A hand written report detailing findings and recommendations will be provided.  

A professionally bound written report, explaining RF's and their possible adverse health effects and detailing all findings and recommended solutions, is available at additional cost.

 

Installation of RF shielding materials  

Should you decide to implement shielding to protect your building from the radiation associated with nearby mobile phone towers, etc., our consultants can advise you about the available options (e.g. paint, fabrics, window film), arrange a quote for the supply and installation of  shielding materials and organise installation. We will take RF readings before, during and after installation to ensure that your building has been effectively shielded. 

 

Cost of services

The cost of RF testing varies according to the building size and location and the level of testing and reporting required. Prices start at $245 (including GST) for an RF assessment of a 1-2 bedroom apartment in the Melbourne metropolitan area. A hand written report will be provided.

Should you wish to combine radio frequency assessment with magnetic and electric field assessment, prices start at $297 (includingGST) for a 1-2 bedroom apartment in the Melbourne metropolitan area. A hand written report will be provided.

We will be happy to provide a quote for your specific circumstances after discussing your requirements with you. Please contact us for further information.
