PUBLIC ADVISORY Issued Jointly by Members of the public have been expressing concerns about possible health hazards from exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) emissions, as a result of the increasing number of towers being erected for the installation of radio transmitting equipment for cellular services, close to homes and schools throughout the country. The FCC’s maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits to which people may be exposed, provide a substantial margin of safety and are well below levels generally accepted as having the potential to cause adverse health effects. TATT has included these limits in the concessions and/or licences that authorize companies to operate in Trinidad and Tobago and will monitor RF levels on an ongoing basis. The erection of towers constitutes development under the Town and Country Planning Act (Chapter 35:01) and therefore requires the prior permission of the Minister responsible for town and country planning. The Town and Country Planning Division (TCPD) has formulated a policy which includes site development standards and location criteria for the erection of towers. These standards regulate among other things, tower location, height and distance from buildings and residences (setbacks) and take into consideration the visual impact of these structures and their potential effect on residential amenity values. The policy also addresses the issue of towers constructed over the last two to three years without the necessary approvals. Tower Approvals On receipt of an objection, TATT will address matters related to RF emissions. All objections received by TATT regarding the location of towers will be forwarded to the Town and Country Planning Division. Conclusion
