Abstract

Overview

In recent decades, the integration of electromagnetic environments in daily life has intensified, raising significant safety concerns about human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). These concerns are magnified with the implementation of new technologies such as 5G NR mobile communications.

  • Monitoring of diverse RF-EMF sources is now seen as a priority.
  • The study employs the National Autonomous Broadband EMF Monitoring System for a detailed analysis throughout 2020, with a focus on December.

Findings

Data was continuously collected and analyzed from various EMF monitoring stations in Iasi-City. This data was compared with standards set by international and national regulatory bodies.

  • EMF exposure levels were significantly below the legally permitted limits.
  • The importance of continuous monitoring was highlighted to allay public concerns about EMF exposure.

Conclusion

An autonomous, continuous, intelligent broadband EMF monitoring system with multiband frequency sensors is crucial for maintaining safety standards and minimizing public health risks from RF-EMFs, especially with the introduction of technologies like 5G.
