Can those antennas interfere with the health of the people living in the building?If you climb onto the roof and eat it, then it might be bad for you. If you wanted a more serious answer then try a more relevant list. Some keywords that might help you are "ERP", "SAR", "NCRPM" and "FCC" AlanHaving had a massive brain tumour removed I am a bit sensitive to off the cuff ridicule of someone asking such a question. Despite the cries of many in the radio and near radio industry and others there is considerable empirical evidence that there is a correlation between brain tumours and emf in general. Which side one lands on is dependent on personal views. The industry studies showing no problem should be treated with suspicion. We all know of industries such as the tobacco industry that for years claimed their products were not harmful. The effect of one wireless antenna on its own will probably not harm most healthy people but, one more added to the mix may cause an emf overload on someone. In simple terms no one can say with assurance the new antenna will or will not cause a problem.
Make that anecdotal evidence. Very large studies have not turned up a
significant correlation between cell phone usage and tumors. The amount
of energy radiated by wireless cards is less than cell phones.
