Monitoring of base stations for mobile telephones found that measurements taken between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. corresponded to about 84% of the maximum daily six-minute averaged electric-field value.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers monitored electric-field levels produced by base stations of different typologies, including TACS, GSM, and DCS. The base stations were classified as either 'business' or 'residential'. On an hourly average basis, a daily curve of the exposure trend was constructed for these installations.

Why This Matters

The study compared measured electromagnetic field levels from base stations with phone traffic data supplied by the companies operating those stations. By building a daily exposure curve on an hourly average basis, the researchers were able to examine how electric-field levels varied throughout the day.

Study Details

Monitoring of electric field levels produced by base stations (BSs) for mobile telephones of different typologies (TACS. GSM, DCS) has been carried out.

Results show that BSs can be classified as 'business' or 'residential'. The mean value of six minute...
