I don't doubt that high levels of RF can be dangerous. The first two chief engineers I worked with both died of cancer in their 50s. Wouldn't FM broadcast antennas be an even greater concern? The height of most adults would make them resonant somewhere near, or in, the FM broadcast band. Comparing wavelengths of "people" based on their height is ridiculous. Microwaves are a much shorter wavelength and cause much more damage to the human body, so the wavelength of people based on their height theory needs to be thrown out right away. To oversimplify a bit: Low frequencies (like AM broadcast) pass through the body without being absorbed. Microwave frequencies bounce off the body without being absorbed. It's the frequency range between 30 and 300 MHz where maximum absorption takes place. Art H. |
