A quick and dirty method is whether or not you can feel warmth or heat. If so you may be getting damaged. I feels like a heat lamp. If you feel any warmth from the antennas come back down.
It isn’t an emergency your are going to die go to the ER type of thing, but certain parts of your body are more susceptible to biological heating than others. I still cannot find backup for this, but I was told many years ago that the lens of your eye is one of the most susceptible organs. As I recall the story, WWII Sailors would get warm in front of radar antennas while standing watch. They later developed cataracts.

I understand there are currently 6 sectors, and will soon be 9 sectors for mobile phone service located behind the louvers. I would like to assess which work locations require disabling the mobile system (if any), and if there are specific exposure times associated with such work locations. 1 - Level above existing installation. 2 - Same level as mobile system, but behind sectors. 3 - In front of sectors, outside the structure. I appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you - Chris
