Correcting myself, the bound is worse than exponential (so read "at least exponential in N"), but the point I wanted to make is that it is explicit.

Again, this follows from the general theory of algebraic numbers: the degree and height of a sum, product or root of algebraic numbers can be bounded explicitly (resultants + Mignotte bound for factors), and finally root separation bounds can be applied to the resulting polynomial.
