Q: Cell phone tower on building next door shooting signals right into our apartment

We live on the 8th floor. Right next to our building is another building which has 6 floors and cell phone towers on the roof. One of the antennas is shooting right next into our apartment (its right across our windows, less than 50 yards). First we didn't pay attention to it but then we started noticing we get sick more since we moved it (we've moved in about 2 years ago). I saw a service man on the roof of the building once servicing the towers and asked him about the signal, he came up to our window and we chatted. First he said we shouldn't worry about the signal as he works with these all the time, then he decided to measure it using his device and when he turned it on, he completely changed his tone and said we should contact the building management and cell phone tower, he said that antenna pointing into our apartment is from Tmobile.

I contacted both but neither building management nor Tmobile done anything. What are our options? We measured RF signal it is 900 to 6000 mw/m2

A: An attorney couldn't comment meaningfully on this data. An electrical engineer, microwave engineer, health professional, or other professionals familiar this field would be in a better position to have insight into this. Good luck
