Abstract

Overview

Unfortunately, the original source specifies that "No abstract" is provided.

Findings

RF-EMF exposure assessment in different frequency bands conducted over three weeks.
Although exposure levels reported were significantly lower than harmful thresholds set by ICNIRP 2020, infants still faced certain negligible risks.
Key sources of RF-EMF were mostly due to human-generated activities such as mobile phones and medical equipment within hospital settings.

Conclusion

Neonates in NICU environments are exposed to measurable levels of RF-EMF, and while not immediate harmful, demand awareness due to the sensitivity of this demographic. Additional larger, generalized studies are recommended to consolidate these findings.
