Description
We used the ETAIN 5G Scientist app to capture reception quality indicators across areas in and around Utrecht, the Netherlands. We calculated far-field exposure accumulated over a day and brain dose from mobile phone calling (4G; in minutes call duration), depending on the signal quality indicators (also used for power and handover management by the mobile phones) and compared the contribution of far-field and near-field exposure to brain dose. Our exploration identifies calling as largest contributor to brain dose, but only when reception quality is suboptimal and the duration of the phone call is a factor.
