Share:

Measured values in households under overhead power lines were far below the ICNIRP recommended safe levels.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Over eight years, the VINČA Institute performed spot broadband measurements of ELF and RF fields in over 35 Serbian municipalities. The study was motivated by public requests for information about exposure levels in living spaces. Measured values in households under overhead power lines were far below the recommended safe levels.

Why This Matters

The measurements will be useful in determining the exposure levels of the general public. This determines whether exposure levels are within reference levels recommended by ICNIRP Guidelines.
