Abstract

Overview

The study critically examines the pervasive presence of microwave electromagnetic fields (EMF) in environments typical to human activity, focusing on shielded areas that are commonly part of daily life, like cars and elevators.

Findings

• In-depth measurements of specific vector quantities of EM fields were conducted.
• A significant finding is that EM levels in shielded spaces are higher compared to open spaces, though still within existing hygienic standards.
• Utilization of both dipole and discone antennas facilitated the comprehensive assessment and calibration of measurement tools.

Conclusion

While the EM field strengths in shielded environments did not exceed current safety standards, circumstances like multiple active cell phones can impact sensitive electronic medical implants. This necessitates caution when using mobile devices in such environments to avoid potential health risks.
