2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 MANDATE
WM Fares Group has mandated the consulting firm LS telcom Limited to conduct a detailed theoretical Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) study for the mainland common development area located in Halifax, NS. The goal of this study is to evaluate the levels of NIR surrounding the three areas to be developed. These three areas are defined as follows: Golf Rage Lands (previously studied in ER-005), Area 2, and Area 3: CTV Lands. The study conducted verifies that the borders of the three specified areas and their compliance with the uncontrolled environment limits of the Safety Code 6 (2015), in the areas accessible by the general public. Sources of information used in the preparation of this report include Health Canada Safety Code 6 (2015)1 and Industry Canada’s Guidelines2.
2.2 METHODOLOGY DESCRIPTION
In order to evaluate the maximum safety placement of habitable structures a 3D model of the radiation patterns emitted from the CBC and Bell towers was created using the HiField Version 5.6, Release 3 software and exported into Google Earth. The Mainland Common LAYOUT 15_2015_02_13-A0QP and Mainland North documents provided by WM Fares gave us a general idea of proposed development plan, and were also exported in Google Earth as overlays. In order to evaluate the maximum safety placement of habitable structures, we proceeded as follows:
1. We identified 36 simulation points that surround the 3 areas of interest. These points were
approximately 50m apart. Their location can be found on Page 5 and in table 2; 2. We then identified the Latitude and Longitude location of each points on a topographical map and
we recorded the terrain elevation at each point; 3. We evaluated the azimuth (referenced to true north) and the distance from each tower to the 2 sets
of points; 4. Using the latest Industry Canada database, we computed the Safety Code 6 level (2015) for each
point with the HiField software. For each point, we established the maximum height (above ground level) for each of the following maximums:

Note that this report only evaluates the public safety limits and does not evaluate or comment on overload, blanketing or IM interference problems which could occur to RF or electrical domestic equipment that could be located within strong RF fields. These types of interference may be experienced (but are not limited) as:
• Difficulty to fine tune an alarm clock radio on a specific station (receiving other stations at the same time);
• Difficulty with the operation of cordless phones (especially the old ones in the lower bands);
• Problems with other RF sensitive equipment (cell phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). More information regarding this type of interference might be found in Industry Canada’s
• CPC-3-14-01 - Determinations of Harmful Interference with respect to Radio- Sensitive Equipment.
In addition to the 36 points individually evaluated, for each of the two towers, 3D simulations of the contours at 100%, 50%, 25% and 10% of the SC6 2015 for Uncontrolled Environment were generated. Print Screens of each of these eight simulations can be found in Appendix A. Finally, a 2D simulation in the vertical plane was created for the mainland common development area at 2 meter intervals between 2 and 20 meters, and every 10 meter between 30 and 80 meters. These images can be found in Appendix B.

3. SAFETY CODE 6
The Safety Code 6 (SC6) is the reference document that sets the limits of Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) tolerable by a human body. The document establishes the security guidelines that outline the recommendations for the installation and use of radio frequency devices that are in the 3 kHz to 300 GHz range. The exposure limits defined by the SC6 were established by constantly reviewing experiments that were carried out during the last 30 years on biological organisms. The limits recommended by this Code are set at a lower level (by an approximate factor of 10) than where there could be harmful effects on organisms (as known today). The SC6 specifies two sets of limits: Uncontrolled Environment (formerly known as “General Public Level” and Controlled Environment (formerly known as “Worker Level”). The safety limits that people exposed to RF and microwaves (including occupationally exposed persons) should not exceed, are expressed as specific absorption rates (SAR), meaning the rate of RF energy absorption per mass unit in the body. The approximate difference in power density between controlled and uncontrolled environment is a factor 5X. These limits are often described in electrical fields, which is the value expressed by the measuring instruments. The table below represents the actual limits from the SC6:

Table 1: Maximum Height for SC6 Clearance
SAFETY CODE 6 EVALUATION ENGINEERING REPORT

This table specifies the maximum building height (above ground level) that could be constructed before reaching the SC6 10%, 25%, 50% and 100% limits. If we consider Point 20, for example, the table shows that the distance between the CBC tower and the point is 266 meters, the azimuth (in relation to True North) is 238.6°, the ground elevation at this point is 143.3 meters and that a building with a height of 26.3 meters will reach the SC6 10% limit, a building with a height of 79.7 meters will reach the SC6 25% limit, a height of 87.5 meters will reach SC6 50% limit and at 97.1 meters, it will have reached the start of the 100% SC6 limit. The details of the calculations are highlighted in Appendix C. The following image was created using the proposed development plans provided by the W.M. Fares group and a HiField simulation in the Horizontal plan at 2.0 meter AGL.

6. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, if the W.M. Fares group respects the building height limits specified in table 1, the public living in those buildings 24h a day, 365 days a year would be living within the current Safety Code 6 limits for RF emissions. A total building height of 37.0 m (SC25% maximum) should consist in an adequate protection of the public. Building heights higher than this mark should be located more carefully on the lot, based on the results of this study.
