Abstract
The continuous development of technology and, accordingly, people's
interest in technological devices is increasing. Electric powered devices
generate electricity and magnetic fields. The intensity of electric and
magnetic fields is restricted by international organizations and limit values
by Turkey's Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTK). The
values of the electromagnetic field generated by the base stations are
monitored by the BTK. The limit values determined by the BTK are more stringent
than those set by international organizations. The intensity of the
electromagnetic field varies according to the distance and power to the system.
In this study, electromagnetic field pollution in Marmara University Başıbüyük
Campus was analyzed periodically and according to different weather conditions.
Measurements were performed at 19 different points and the results were mapped.
SRM 3006 model selective radiation meter was used in the measurement.
Measurement results were compared with international limit values and
evaluated. The limit value determined by international organizations for the
environment is 61 V/m and the limit value determined by BTK is 42 V/m. 12-day
average electric field is 1.53 V/m for periodical measurements. The average
electric field in sunny weather is 1.9 V/m, 1.28V/m in rainy weather and
1.39V/m in cloudy weather. Gas Discharge Visualization technique was used to
observe the possible changes in the energy and stress situation of the
different electromagnetic field points within the campus. Energy and stress
measurement with this technique was performed with Bio-well device. According
to the measurement results, no change in stress and energy status was observed

Abstract
Teknolojinin sürekli
gelişimine bağlı olarak insanların teknolojik cihazlara olan ilgileri
artmaktadır. Elektrik ile çalışan cihazlar elektrik ve manyetik alan üretirler.
Elektrik ve manyetik alan yoğunlukları uluslararası kuruluşlar ve Türkiye Bilgi
Teknolojileri ve İletişim Kurumu (BTK) tarafından sınırlandırılmaktadır. Baz
istasyonları tarafından üretilen elektromanyetik alan değerleri BTK tarafından
takip edilmektedir. Ayrıca BTK tarafından belirlenen sınır değerler
uluslararası kuruluşlara göre daha katıdır. Elektromanyetik alanın yoğunluğu,
sisteme olan mesafe ve gücüne göre değişmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Marmara
Üniversitesi Başıbüyük Kampüsü’ndeki elektromanyetik alan kirliliği periyodik
olarak ve farklı hava koşullarına göre analiz edilmiştir. Ölçümler 19 farklı
noktada yapılmıştır ve haritalandırılmıştır. Ölçümde SRM 3006 model selektif
radyasyon ölçer cihazı kullanılmıştır. Ölçüm sonuçları uluslararası limit
değerlerle karşılaştırıldı ve değerlendirildi. Uluslararası kuruluşlar
tarafından ortam için belirlenen sınır değer 61 V/m, BTK tarafından belirlenen
sınır değer ise 42 V/m’dir. 12 günlük periyodik ölçümlerin ortalama elektrik
alan değeri 1,53 V/m’dir. Güneşli havalarda ortalama elektrik alan 1,9 V/m,
yağışlı havalarda 1,28 V/m ve bulutlu havalarda 1,39 V/m’dir. Kampüs içindeki
farklı elektromanyetik alan noktalarının enerji ve stres durumlarındaki olası
değişikliklerini gözlemlemek için Gaz Boşalım Görselleştirmesi tekniği
kullanılmıştır. Bio-well cihazı ile bu teknik kullanılarak stres ve enerji
ölçümü yapıldı. Ölçüm sonuçlarına göre stres ve enerji durumlarında herhangi
bir farklılık gözlenmedi.
