Abstract

Overview

The electromagnetic field, especially relevant with the rise of 5G networks, poses potential health risks which have drawn public concern. This study investigates shielding measures that can mitigate these effects.

Findings

• Key protection strategies include: shielding the radiation source, shielding workspaces, using personal protective gear, and reducing radiation near the source.
• Materials tested for shielding efficiency include brick and a specialized shielding fabric.
• The research gauged shielding performance across frequencies from 1 GHz to 9 GHz.
• Results indicated that while both materials provide shielding, the fabric offers more consistent performance across the tested frequency range.

Conclusion

This study highlights the importance of using effective shielding materials, like the tested fabric, to protect against electromagnetic fields. Such measures are increasingly vital as sources of electromagnetic radiation proliferate.
