monitor the exposure levels due at all of the thousands of transmitters
that are subject to FCC jurisdiction.... In addition, the FCC
does not routinely perform RF exposure investigations unless there is a
reasonable expectation that the FCC exposure limits may be exceeded. The FCC does not have a comprehensive, transmitter-specific database
for all of the services it regulates.... In
some services, licenses are allowed to utilize additional transmitters
or to increase power without notifying the FCC. Other services are
licensed by geographic area, such that the FCC has no knowledge
concerning the actual number or location of transmitters within that
geographic area."

The Lancet Oncology, 06-22-2011: "EMFs generated by RF sources couple with the body, resulting in induced electric and magnetic fields and associated
currents inside tissues. The most important factors that determine the induced fields are the distance of the source
from the body and the output power level. Additionally, the efficiency of coupling and resulting field distribution
inside the body strongly depend on the frequency, polarization, and direction of wave incidence on the body, and
anatomical features of the exposed person, including height, body-mass index, posture, and dielectric properties of
the tissues. Induced fields within the body are highly non-uniform, varying over several orders of magnitude, with local
hotspots." 81. "The Use of Signal-Transduction and Metabolic Pathways to Predict Human Disease Targets from Electric and Magnetic Fields Using in Vitro Data in Human Cell Lines," Parham et al., Frontiers in Public Health, Sept. 2016, Volume 4, Article 193. 82. "Corona

ions emitted from high voltage power lines transfer their charge to
aerosol particles, as shown in figure 1, following well known
ion-aerosol attachment rates. When inhaled, these aerosols have a higher
probability of depositing in the lung owing to their enhanced charge
state. Corona ions therefore mediate increased exposure to air
pollution. Space-charge comprising ions per se and charged aerosols can
be carried by the wind, typically several hundred metres and in some
cases several kilometres from powerlines (Fews et al., 1999, 2002). A
risk analysis based on an average 30% increase in lung deposition of
inhaled air pollution up to 400 metres from power lines downwind of the
prevailing south-westerly wind, suggests an increased frequency of
illnesses linked to air pollution, including childhood leukaemia, lung
cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses." (Henshaw 2002). 83. "Verizon Looks to Dark Fiber, Small Cells for Densification, RCR Wireless News, 09-10-2015. 84.
