This exposure assessment study compared RF-EMF measurements averaged over 1, 6, and 30 minutes using contiguous 1-minute data collected over 30 minutes at four indoor/outdoor sites across 15 frequency bands. Relative deviations between shorter averaging times and 30-minute averages were largely within ±3 dB. However,…

This engineering study modeled and tested a distributed wearable RF EMF measurement approach intended to reduce body-proximity effects on personal exposure meter readings. Numerical simulations covered 24 far-field wireless exposure scenarios (100–3600 MHz), and physical tests with three probes were also performed.…

This prospective study enrolled 10 adults with atraumatic or traumatic brain injury who received tailored cranial EMF stimulation using a portable helmet with real-time EMF measurement and parameter adjustment. The abstract reports symptom resolution or remaining asymptomatic in 8 participants at varying stimulation…

This protocol describes the third wave of the HERMES prospective adolescent cohort in Switzerland, with follow-up every four months and at one year. The study will assess electronic media use, modeled RF-EMF and transportation noise exposures, and a range of outcomes including cognition, behavior, sleep, mental…

This study compared historical occupational RF-EMF exposure estimates from the INTEROCC RF job-exposure matrix (RF-JEM) with recent personal RF-EMF measurements from the OccRF-Health study in two countries. Agreement between the two approaches was poor for both exposure prevalence and 8-hour time-weighted average…

This study conducted personal full-shift RF-EMF measurements in 333 workers across 46 occupations in Spain and France. Most 1-second measurements of electric and magnetic fields were below the device detection limit (≥1% of 1998 ICNIRP standards), though many workers had at least one detectable reading. A small…

This paper discusses the legal context for environmental EMF measurements and describes methods for estimating EMF intensity from multiple sources, particularly cellular base stations. It presents an engineering concept for mobile EMF monitoring and reports verification testing of the measurement setup. Field…

This exposure assessment study reports extensive EMF measurements and exposure mapping across multiple workplace settings in Greece in the context of implementing EU Directive 2013/35/EU. The authors report that most assessed workplaces did not exceed occupational limits, and often did not exceed general public…

This paper describes in situ EMF measurements around industrial high frequency (dielectric) welders, framed by Polish labor safety regulations aligned with EU Directive 2013/35/EU. It reports real-world scenarios where excessive EMF exposure can occur near welders, often linked to errors or omissions during…

This exposure assessment study used portable exposure meters to characterize variability and repeatability of mobile phone base station RF-EMF measurements in urban areas of Basel and Amsterdam. Reported exposure levels varied by area type and city, with downtown/business areas showing higher ranges than residential…
