The sun is a giant radioactive ball of hydrogen that blasts the Earth every day. We have "Sun Outages" 2x a year on every antenna. Power levels that are amazing to measured on a spectrum analyzer, and some tower miles away is gonna kill me. Put in the inverse square law, LOS, atmospheric and structural attenuation and I bet I can barely detect it. No chance its going to anywhere the FCC limit of 10 mW/cm

Oh and they can go underground, enjoy the radon gas emissions. Way worse than non-ionizing radiation.
