Description
The CIRE-RF project is an ANSES funded project (22-RF-002) that plans to investigate potential risks of childhood cancer main subtypes in relation to RF-EMF from TV and AM/FM radio broadcast stations. In order to achieve the project goal, exposure assessment had to be performed on ~80000 points on the whole French territory, for years 2002 to 2013. First, suitable simulation methods, depending on wavelength, were selected to compute electric field at exposure points. Second, needed input data (location, altitude, power, radiation pattern, start and stop dates of each broadcasting station) was collected from governemental agencies and other sources. Third, a simulation model was set up, including a whole France digital terrain model and the exposure levels were computed independantly for each service (AM radio, FM radio, TV) and each year. So as to validate simulation results, exposure level was also computed at locations of a large set of past available measurements. The results were then compared at both a local and a global scale.
