This paper reports results from a large-scale, multi-phase measurement campaign in mainland France assessing changes in RF exposure associated with 5G deployment from 2020 to 2024. Using more than 24,000 on-ground measurements in direct view of 5G antennas, it finds small average increases in broadband exposure and…

This exposure-assessment study proposes and validates a method to measure instantaneous RF exposure under typical base station load by generating defined data rates (low/medium/high) using iPerf and measuring channel power across services. Validation at four base stations suggests the approach is reliable across…

This exposure/compliance assessment study collected 5- and 30-minute transmitted power data over one month from more than 400 5G FR2 beamforming base stations in urban Japan to evaluate the IEC 62232:2025 “actual maximum approach.” All measured transmitted powers were below configured maxima, with 30-minute averaged…

This conference paper examines extrapolation factors used for in-situ EMF exposure assessment of 5G base stations in realistic indoor and outdoor scenarios. Using both frequency-selective and code-selective measurement approaches under varying traffic conditions, it reports substantial variability in extrapolated…

This exposure assessment reports 400 ground-level electric field measurements in Greek urban and suburban areas during 5G deployment. It finds that 4G contributes most to overall measured EMF exposure, while 5G currently contributes less. The study reports an inverse relationship between 3.5 GHz EMF levels and…

This study measured RF electric field exposure around BTS antennas in Sabzevar, Iran across multiple times and distances, and assessed residents' sleep quality. E-field levels varied by time, distance, and suburban versus downtown location, while microenvironment differences were not significant. Sleep quality…

This cross-sectional survey in five French cities assessed whether measured RF-EMF exposure from mobile-phone base stations was associated with self-reported non-specific and insomnia-like symptoms among residents living within 250 m of a base station. Overall, measured base-station exposure was not associated with…

This study measured RF electric field intensities at 900 and 1800 MHz at 29 points on the Istanbul Technical University campus and produced spatial EMF intensity heat maps using GIS interpolation. Three interpolation methods were compared and the mapped measurements were evaluated against ICNIRP reference limits. All…

The study presents a smart city service for electromagnetic field assessment using deployed measuring probes integrated into a city platform. Data collected for more than one year are processed to characterize E-field levels across large areas and over time. The authors report that the results validate the…
