Measurements of electromagnetic fields emitted in urban environments

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the results of measurements of electromagnetic radiation from a base station installed on the roof of a site located in an area with a higher degree of urbanization, an extended center of the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. Using mobile measuring equipment Narda AMB-8057-03, the dynamics of electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 7 GHz was monitored over a period of eight days (weekdays and weekends). The obtained values for the levels of electromagnetic fields comply with the current national legislation and European standards. They are ≤ 10 μW/cm2. However, there remains a need for monitoring, tracking and control of the emitting EMF sources, because the susceptibility of an individual person is individual and the possible health effects are different, which in some cases manifests itself as “hypersensitivity” to electromagnetic radiation.
