Plain English Summary
Researchers measured wireless signal exposure levels throughout the day in indoor locations to understand how real-world exposure compares to theoretical maximum levels used in safety standards. They found that actual exposure varies significantly based on mobile phone traffic patterns, with broadcast signals remaining constant while mobile signals fluctuate with daily usage patterns. The study developed methods to predict maximum exposure levels from single measurements, showing that real exposure is typically much lower than regulatory limits assume.
Study Details
In this article, the general public daily exposure to broadcast signals and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) or Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile telephone signals in indoor areas is investigated.
Temporal variations and traffic distributions during a day at different indoor sites in urban and ru...
