Your Home Owner Association doesn't permit outside antennas, so you want to mount one inside your residence.  You are aware the RF floating around could be a hazard but how much is too much?

One of my antennas is a Nagoya UT-72 mag mount here in the computer room. It sits above my computer console mounted on a large cookie sheet as a ground plane. It's about 10' away.
 
I picked this distance based on this"
        Amateur Radio RF Safety Calculator

My parameters were:
     Power - 50W
     Distance from center of antenna - 10' (3m)
     Antenna Gain - 2.2 dBi
     Frequency - 150MHz

Based on the results, the recommended distance is 4.3 to 9.6'  (1.3 to 3.0m), so I placed it at 10'

If you are running an HF rig with an antenna in the attic, here are Average Power Estimates to factor in.
