Description
The deployment of 5G has raised public concerns regarding potential health and environmental effects, prompting further research into RF-EMF exposure. This study presents the findings of a six-month measurement campaign conducted in Belgium using two RF-EMF sensors. One sensor was placed in a rural bedroom, while the other was installed in an office building in an industrial campus near a city. The results indicate a distinct daily pattern, with lower E-field levels observed at night and higher levels during the day across all measured frequencies, where a more profound difference of 24.08 dB in the city office. Additionally, exposure levels were consistently lower on weekends compared to weekdays, reflecting variations in human activity and network usage. The exposure was lower during the weekend compared to weekdays for the village bedroom and the city office respectively. These findings contribute to a better understanding of environmental RF-EMF exposure and its dependence on location and temporal factors.
