Abstract

Overview

The study focuses on assessing electromagnetic field exposure in frequented public spaces, specifically shopping centers in Bratislava, Slovakia, and comparing these levels with existing hygienic standards.

Findings

• Measurements were taken for low- and high-frequency electromagnetic fields at different locations within shopping centers.
• The observed electromagnetic field levels were within the current Slovak limits but exceeded proposed EUROPAEM standards.

Conclusion

The findings suggest a need for stricter electromagnetic exposure limits in Slovakia considering new international standards and emerging evidence on potential health impacts of long-term exposure. The study also recommends enhancing research and public education on this issue.
