PubMed: RF-EMF health
Jan 22, 2026
This PubMed-listed study measured ambient radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) levels during surgical operations in 15 hospital operating rooms in Albacete, Spain, focusing on contributions from telecommunication antennas and Wi‑Fi. Using an exposimeter logging every 5 seconds across 67 procedures (~120…

Jan 1, 2025
This exposure-assessment study conducted field measurements of 5G downlink RF-EMF during a large public festival in Valencia, Spain, and compared them with a baseline day. Measurements covered 700 MHz and 3500 MHz bands across three network operators and five locations, using 6-minute and 30-minute durations. The…

Jan 1, 2025
This microenvironmental measurement study assessed temporal trends in outdoor RF-EMF exposure between 2016 and 2023 in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, and Spain using harmonized walking-route measurements with exposimeters. The authors report no significant change in mobile base station (downlink) exposure…

Jan 1, 2025
This engineering/methods study proposes an evolutionary computation approach (PCRO-SL) to optimize the selection of measurement points for constructing RF-EMF exposure maps. Tested on real measurements in Meco (Madrid, Spain), it reports good agreement with a reference exposure map while reducing required sampling…

Jan 1, 2025
This exposure assessment characterized ambient RF-EMF levels during surgical operations in 15 operating rooms in two hospitals in Albacete, Spain. Using an exposimeter recording every 5 seconds, 67 procedures (120 h 45 min) were monitored. The highest recorded mean value was on the 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi band, and all…
Personal exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields in various occupations in Spain and France.

RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2023
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…

Jan 1, 2017
This preliminary ecological study examined whether RF-EMF exposure in Albacete (Spain) correlated with incidence of lymphomas and brain tumors from January 2012 to May 2015. Personal RF-EMF exposure was measured across 14 frequency bands using an EME Spy 140 exposimeter and compared with tumor incidence by…
