Public Exposure from Indoor Radiofrequency Radiation in the City of Hebron
Not an original health-effects study
Authors not listed · 2015
Indoor radiofrequency exposure in Hebron was well below ICNIRP guidelines, with outdoor sources contributing about 73% of indoor exposure.
Plain English Summary
Summary written for general audiences
Researchers measured indoor radiofrequency exposure at 343 locations in Hebron. The maximum total power density was about 2.3 × 10 W m with an exposure quotient of about 0.01, well below the ICNIRP limit. FM radio contributed 46% of the exposure quotient, GSM900 26%, DECT phones 15%, WLAN 9%, unknown sources 3%, and TV broadcasting 1%.
Why This Matters
The study investigated FM radio, TV broadcasting, mobile base stations, DECT phones, and WLAN as RF emitters. The average total exposure from all RF sources was 0.08 × 10 W m.
