Abstract

All electrically powered devices cause electromagnetic wave exposure on
human body and we use them nearly every moment in a day. Mobile phones,
computers, televisions, hair dryers, lighting systems, etc. they all use
electricity and naturally radiate electromagnetic waves. Effects of
electromagnetic waves are not clear but international organizations define
limit values depending on epidemiological studies in this field. In this study
we measure high frequency electromagnetic waves in city center of Mus.
Measurements are made at mobile phone frequencies and results compared with
limit values. All measurement techniques and limit values are appropriate with
Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA) standards.
Measurement points are selected according to population density in city center

Keywords

Electromagnetic Field, Mobile Phone, Base Station, Electric Field Measurement, electromagnetic pollution
