Abstract

Overview

The research investigates the varying electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation from cell phone towers and its impact on public health. The study highlights the necessity for a standardized method to assess radiation exposure due to the distinct characteristics of each tower.

Findings

• Introduction to power density (PD)-based classification to aid research involving human biological samples.
• Detailed measurement of electric field strength (EF), magnetic field strength (MF), and power density (PD) around cell phone towers with differing antenna counts at distances of 50 m and 100 m.
• Statistically significant variations noted in MF and PD based on antenna count and proximity to the towers.

Conclusion

The study emphasizes the importance of a PD-based classification over mere distance metrics for conducting human health-related EMF studies. This approach allows for a more accurate assessment of the true effects of EMF radiation stemming from cell phone towers.
