Modeling Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Wearable Distributed (Multi-Location) Measurements System for Evaluating Electromagnetic Hazards in the Work Environment.

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.…

Personal exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields in various occupations in Spain and France.

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…

Measurement and Modeling of Personal Exposure to the Electric and Magnetic Fields in the Vicinity of High Voltage Power Lines.

This study reports experimental measurements and numerical modeling of electric and magnetic fields near a high voltage substation in Annaba, Algeria. Field intensities were measured at multiple heights intended to correspond to sensitive human body regions and were validated using finite element simulations. The…

Validity of at home model predictions as a proxy for personal exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from mobile phone base stations

This exposure-assessment study compared modeled at-home RF-EMF from mobile phone base stations (NISMap) with 24-hour personal measurements in 93 Dutch participants. Correlations were low to moderate, with better agreement for time spent at home than for the full 24-hour period. While modeled estimates could rank…
