Living near mobile phone base stations

Looking at renting an apartment in a city, and the building next door has 4 and 5G base station on the side of it. I would say this somewhere between 50 and 100 m.

I’m finding really mixed information as to whether this should be a concern, so interested to hear views on here.

The photos is zoomed a bit and is taken from the bedroom.

If you're in a city you'll be pretty close to a base station wherever you are.

Why would it be a concern?

Oh ok ha ha. I’m normally quite skeptical about these things, but because it’s so close, with no concrete barriers, I thought I better check out the current science/thinking. It’s hard to find unbiased information. Most of the research which says it’s fine seems to be funded by telcos, and most of the scare stories seem to be selling deflection devices.
Anyway good to have a reality check!

No need to pay for a broadband Internet connection :) happy days

If concrete barriers would help, then the signal wouldn't work anywhere!

Honestly, we're surrounded by them, particularly in cities. If they caused problems, we'd know by now.

They aren't very slightly, but no worries otherwise.
