Introduction
July 21, 2008
At your request, I have reviewed the technical specifications and calculated the maximumradiofrequency,
(RF), power density from the existing T-Mobile (TM) wireless telecommunications site, (referenced as
SD-06914), located at 1966 Olivenhain Road, Carlsbad, California as depicted in attachment 1.
This TM telecommunication site consists of a Personal Communications Services (PCS) wireless facility.
The facility utilizes directional transmit panel antennae configured in three (3) sectors. The antennae are
mounted to a mono-palm with their center at least 38.00 feet above grade directed at O (sector A), 120
(sector B) and 240 (sector C) degrees true north. The antennas specified are EMS Wireless model#
RR90-17-02-DPL2 for all sectors. Technical specifications of these antennae are provided in attachment
two. The sectorized antennas are designed to transmit with an effective radiated power (ERP) of up to 800
watts per sector within a bandwidth between approximately 1,850 and 1,990 MHz.
There is also one other wireless carrier (Sprint/Nextel) that is co-located on the same mono-palm as the
TM facility. The other carrier's site design is depicted in site photo at the end of attachment 1. The
maximum cumulative RF exposure from both carriers is provided in this report.
Calculation Methodology, Results & Recommendations
Calculations were made in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Federal
Communications Commission, Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin 65 (edition 97-01, page
24, equation 10 ) entitled "Evaluating Compliance with FCC-Guidelines for Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields." Several assumptions were made in order to provide the most
conservative or "worse case" projections of power densities. Calculations were made assuming that all
channels were operating simultaneously at their maximum design effective radiated power. Attenuation
( weakening) of the signal that would result from surrounding foliage or buildings was ignored. Buildings
can reduce the signal strength by a factor of 10 (i.e., 10 dB) or more depending upon the construction
material. The ground or other surfaces were considered to be perfect reflectors (which they are not) and
the RF energy was assumed to overlap and interact constructively at all locations (which they would not)
thereby resulting in the calculation of the maximum potential exposure. In fact, the accumulations of all
these very conservative assumptions will significantly overestimate the actual exposures that would
typically be expected from such a facility. However, this method is a prudent approach that errs on the
side of safety.
1
The maximum public RF exposure from this TM facility was calculated to be less than 5 .4 µ W /cm2 ( i.e.,
~0.54 % of the public safety standard at 1,850 MHz). Exposure details are shown in appendix A. Details
regrading the Sprint/Nextel facility were not available but a conservative estimate of there RF exposure
can be made from the site plans provided and my extensive experience analyzing similar RF site designs
for this carrier. The maximum contribution to the ambient ground level RF environment from the
Sprint/Nextel facility will be less than 1. 7% of the public safety standard. Thus the maximum cumulative
exposure from both carriers will be less than 2.24% of the public safety standard. A. A sign conforming
to with ANSI C95.2 color, symbol and content, and other markings as appropriate, should be placed close
to the antennas with appropriate contact information in order to alert maintenance or other workers
approaching the antenna to the presence of RF transmissions and to take precautions to avoid exposures
in excess of FCC limits.
RF Safety Standards
The two most widely recognized standards for protection against RF field exposure are those published
by the American National Standards fustitute (ANSI) C95.1 and the National Council on Radiation
Protection and measurement (NCRP) report #86.
The NCRP is a private, congressionally chartered institution with the charge to provide expert analysis of
a variety of issues ( especially health and safety recommendations) on radiations of all forms. The
scientific analyses of the NCRP are held in high esteem in the scientific and regulatory community both
nationally and internationally. In fact, the vast majority of the radiological health regulations currently
in existence can trace their origin, in some way, to the recommendations of the NCRP.
All RF exposure standards are frequency-specific, in recognition of the differential absorption of RF
energy as a function of frequency. Themostrestrictive exposure levels in the standards are associated with
those frequencies that are most readily absorbed in humans. Maximum absorption occurs at approximately
80 MHz in adults. The NCRP maximum allowable continuous occupational exposure at this frequency
is 1,000 µW/cm2. This compares to 5,000 µW/cm2 at the most restrictive of the PCS :frequencies (~1,800
MHz) that are absorbed much less efficiently than exposures in the VHF TV band.
The traditional NCRP philosophy of providing a higher standard of protection for members of the general
population compared to occupationally exposed individuals, prompted a two-tiered safety standard by
which levels of allowable exposure were substantially reduced for "uncontrolled " ( e.g., public) and
continuous exposures. This measure was taken to account for the fact that workers in an industrial
environment are typically exposed no more than eight hours a day while members of the general
population in proximity to a source of RF radiation may be exposed continuously. This additional
protection factor also provides a greater margin of safety for children, the infirmed, aged, or others who
might be more sensitive to RF exposure. After several years of evaluating the national and international
scientific and biomedical literature, the members of the NCRP scientific committee selected 931
publications in the peer-reviewed scientific literature on which to base their recommendations. The current
NCRP recommendations limit continuous public exposure at PCS frequencies to 1,000 µW/cm2 .
The 1992 ANSI standard was developed by Scientific Coordinating Committee 28 (SCC 28) under the
auspices of the fustitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard, entitled "IEEE
2
Standards for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields,
3 kHz to 300 GHz" (IEEE C95.l-1991), was issued in April 1992 and subsequently adopted by ANSI.
A revision of this standard (C95.l-2005) was completed in October 2005 by SCC 39 the IEEE
International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety. Their recommendations are similar to the NCRP
recommendation for the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) to the public PCS frequencies (950
µ W /cm2 for continuous exposure at 1,900 MHz) and incorporates the convention of providing for a greater
margin of safety for public as compared with occupational exposure. Higher whole body exposures are
allowed for brief periods provided that no 30 minute time-weighted average exposure exceeds these
aforementioned limits.
On August 9, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established a RF exposure standard
that is a hybrid of the current ANSI and NCRP standards. The maximum permissible exposure values
used to assess environmental exposures are those of the NCRP (i.e., maximum public continuous exposure
at PCS frequencies of 1,000 µW/cm2 ). The FCC issued these standards in order to address its
responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to consider whether its actions will
"significantly affect the quality of the human environment." In as far as there was no other standard issued
by a federal agency such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the FCC utilized their
rulemaking procedure to consider which standards should be adopted. The FCC received thousands of
pages of comments over a three-year review period from a variety of sources including the public,
academia, federal health and safety agencies (e.g., EPA & FDA) and the telecommunications industry.
The FCC gave special consideration to the recommendations by the federal health agencies because of
their special responsibility for protecting the public health and safety. In fact, the maximum permissible
exposure (MPE) values in the FCC standard are those recommended by EPA and FDA. The FCC standard
incorporates various elements of the 1992 ANSI and NCRP standards which were chosen because they
are widely accepted and technically supportable. There are a variety of other exposure guidelines and
standards set by other national and international organizations and governments, most of which are similar
to the current ANSI/IEEE or NCRP standard, figure one.
The FCC standards "Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio frequency Radiation"
(Report and Order FCC 96-326) adopted the ANSI/IEEE definitions for controlled and uncontrolled
environments. In order to use the higher exposure levels associated with a controlled environment, RF
exposures must be occupationally related ( e.g., PCS company RF technicians) and they must be aware of
and have sufficient knowledge to control their exposure. All other environmental areas are considered
uncontrolled (e.g., public) for which the stricter (i.e., lower) environmental exposure limits apply. All
carriers were required to be in compliance with the new FCC RF exposure standards for new
telecommunications facilities by October 15, 1997. These standards applied retroactively for existing
telecommunications facilities on September 1, 2000.
The task for the physical, biological, and medical scientists that evaluate health implications of the RF
data base has been to identify those RF field conditions that can produce harmful biological effects. No
panel of experts can guarantee safe levels of exposure because safety is a null concept, and negatives are
not susceptible to proof. What a dispassionate scientific assessment can offer is the presumption of safety
when RF-field conditions do not give rise to a demonstrable harmful effect.
3
Summary & Conclusions
This existing PCS facility as specified above will be in full compliance with FCC RF public safety
standards. PCS transmitters, by design and operation, are low-power devices. Even under maximal
exposure conditions in which all the channels from all antennas, from both carriers, are operating at full
power, the maximum cumulative exposure from all wireless carriers will not result in RF exposures in
excess of 2.24% of the public safety standard at any publically accessible location. This maximum
exposure is more than 44 times lower than the FCC public exposure standards for these frequencies. A
chart of the electromagnetic spectrum and a comparison of RF power densities from various common
sources is presented in figures two and three respectively in order to place exposures from PCS
telecommunications systems in perspective.
It is important to realize that the FCC maximum allowable exposures are not set at a threshold between
safety and known hazard but rather at 50 times below a level that the majority of the scientific community
believes may pose a health risk to human populations. Thus the previously mentioned maximum exposure
from the site represent a "safety margin" from this threshold of potentially adverse health effects of more
than 2,230 times.
Given the low levels of radiofrequency fields that would be generated from this facility, and given the
evidence on biological effects in a large data base, there is no scientific basis to conclude that harmful
effects will attend the utilization of the existing wireless telecommunications facility. This conclusion is
supported by a large numbers of scientists that have participated in standard-setting activities in the United
States who are overwhelmingly agreed that RF radiation exposure below the FCC exposure limits has no
demonstrably harmful effects on humans.
These findings are based on my professional evaluation of the scientific issues related to the health and
safety of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation and my analysis of the technical specification as provided
by TM. The opinions expressed herein are based on my professional judgement and are not intended to
necessarily represent the views of any other organization or institution. Please contact me if you require

STATEMENT OF EXPERIENCE
Jerrold Talmadge Bushberg, Ph.D., DABMP, DABSNM
(800) 760-8414 jbushberg@hampc.com
Dr. Jerrold Bushberg has performed health and safety analysis for RF & ELF transmissions systems since
1978 and is an expert in both health physics and medical physics. The scientific discipline of Health
Physics is devoted to radiation protection, which, among other things, involves providing analysis of
radiation exposure conditions, biological effects research, regulations and standards as well as
recommendations regarding the use and safety of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. In addition, Dr.
Bushberg has extensive experience and lectures on several related topics including medical physics,
radiation protection, (ionizing and non-ionizing), radiation biology, the science of risk assessment and
effective risk communication in the public sector.
Dr. Bushberg's doctoral dissertation at Purdue University was on various aspects of the biological effects
of microwave radiation. He has maintained a strong professional involvement in this subject and has
served as consultant or appeared as an expert witness on this subject to a wide variety of
organizations/institutions including, local governments, school districts, city planning departments,
telecommunications companies, the California Public Utilities Commission, national news organizations,
and the U.S. Congress. In addition, his consultation services have included detailed computer based
modeling of RF exposures as well as on-site safety inspections and RF & ELF environmental field
measurements of numerous transmission facilities in order to determine their compliance with FCC and
other safety regulations. The consultation services provided by Dr. Bush berg are based on his professional
judgement as an independent scientist, however they are not intended to necessarily represent the views
of any other organization.
Dr. Bushberg is a member of the main scientific body of International Committee on Electromagnetic
Safety (ICES) which reviews and evaluates the scientific literature on the biological effects of non-
ionizing electromagnetic radiation and establishes exposure standards. He also serves on the ICES Risk
Assessment Working Group that is responsible for evaluating and characterizing the risks of non-
ionizing electromagnetic radiation. Dr. Bushberg was appointed and is serving as a member of the main
scientific council of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement's (NCRP). He is
also a Scientific Vice-President of the NCRP, a member of the NCRP Board of Directors and chairs its
committee on Radiation Protection in Medicine. In addition, Dr. Bushberg is a member of NCRP' s
scientific advisory committee on Non-ionizing Radiation Safety. The NCRP is the nation's preeminent
scientific radiation protection organization, chartered by Congress to evaluate and provide expert
consultation on a wide variety of radiological health issues. The current FCC RF exposure safety
standards are based in large part on the recommendations of the NCRP. Dr. Bushberg was elected to
the International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Committee on Man and Radiation
(COMAR) which has as its primary area ofresponsibility the examination and interpreting the biological
effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic energy and presenting its findings in an authoritative and
professional manner. Dr. Bushberg is also a member of a six person U.S. expert delegation to the
international scientific community on Scientific and Technical Issues for Mobile Communication
Systems established by the Federal Communications Commission.
Dr. Bushberg is a full member of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, the Health Physics Society and the
Radiation Research Society. Dr. Bushberg received both a Masters of Science and Ph.D. from the
Department of Bionucleonics at Purdue University. Dr. Bushberg is certified by several national
professional boards with specific sub-specialty certification in radiation protection and medical physics.
Prior to coming to California, Dr. Bushberg was on the faculty of Yale University School of Medicine.
