2015 - Radio base stations placed on agricultural land. Evaluation of the workers’ exposure
The electromagnetic field generated by radio base stations (RBS) located on rural-agricultural lands was evaluated both using an ad hoc numerical forecast model and measuring the effective electric fields around some RBS located on Italian agricultural lands. The viability of this study was tested according to the Italian Regulations concerning general and occupational public exposure to time-varying EMFs. The actual power emitted by RBS antennas was much lower than the calculated values.
