Comparison Between Broadband and Personal Exposimeter Measurements for EMF Exposure Map Development Using Evolutionary Programming

This exposure-assessment study compares RF-EMF exposure maps produced using a broadband meter versus a personal exposimeter and aims to correct personal exposimeter readings to match broadband-based maps. The authors report that LOS/NLOS-specific correction factors reduce discrepancies, particularly improving LOS…

Efficient design of electromagnetic field exposure maps with multi-method evolutionary ensembles

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…

Comprehensive Measurement-Based Assessment of Downlink RF-EMF Exposure in Urban Environments: Multi-Method Analysis and Intercomparison.

This study reports a measurement-based assessment of outdoor downlink RF-EMF exposure in a French city using drive testing, spot measurements, and a streetlamp-mounted sensor network. The authors report good agreement across methods and correlations between smoothed drive-test data, spot measurements, and base…

Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields. The situation in Greece.

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…

Mitigation measures of electromagnetic field exposure in the vicinity of high frequency welders.

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…
