In
recent years, the general public has become increasingly concerned about
electromagnetic radiation exposure. Recent news articles concerning possible
exposure hazards of cellular telephone use has only heightened the public's
concern. As such, more and more of our clients are finding that it is necessary
to address exposure concerns regarding their communication tower/equipment
installations, even in situations where there is little or no justification
for concern.

Custom Radiation Exposure Analysis Program.

Timberline has the expertise to perform electromagnetic radiation exposure
analysis and provide detailed reports that can be utilized by our clients
in presentations to neighbors, public meetings, environmental compliance
documents, etc. A typical Timberline report would determine the electromagnetic
radiation that is generated by a facility and then compare these results
to the exposure limits allowed by the applicable Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines "Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic
Fields." Should it be necessary, Timberline can also provide mitigation
recommendations.
In a typical application, the communication equipment utilized in the
design of a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system project
will produce electromagnetic radiation that is clearly within the applicable
guidelines. However, it behooves the client to be proactive regarding
this issue, and to have the requisite documentation regarding electromagnetic
radiation exposure prepared and on file.
