This exposure assessment performed RF spot measurements in line-of-sight to 56 active 5G macro base stations across 30 publicly accessible UK locations. Power density was measured across 420 MHz–6 GHz under multiple scenarios (background, streaming, downlink speed test, and extrapolated SS-RSRP decoding). Reported…

This modeling study assessed RF-EMF exposure from a 5.9 GHz V2V monopole array antenna integrated into a car roof shark-fin antenna. Using COMSOL simulations with an adult male body model inside a vehicle, the authors estimated localized and whole-body SAR and associated core temperature rise over a 30 min averaging…

This exposure assessment characterized ambient RF-EMF levels during surgical operations in 15 operating rooms in two hospitals in Albacete, Spain. Using an exposimeter recording every 5 seconds, 67 procedures (120 h 45 min) were monitored. The highest recorded mean value was on the 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi band, and all…

This commentary critiques a prior paper claiming that Brillouin precursors from 5G NR and other cellular systems could cause tissue damage deeper than the carrier-frequency penetration depth. It states that the original Brillouin precursor theory was based on nanosecond ultrawide-band RF pulses in water and that this…

This exposure assessment estimated mean RF-EMF levels in Greek primary and secondary schools located in urban environments. Using a random sample of 492 schools, the reported mean electric field strength across 27 MHz–3 GHz was 0.42 V/m with a 95% CI of 0.4024–0.4395 V/m. The authors conclude the measured levels were…

This exposure assessment measured RF-EMF levels in all primary and secondary school units (n=62) in Korydallos, Athens, across 27 MHz–3 GHz. The study reports that 97.5% of schools had exposure levels at least 2200 times below Greek exposure limits. The authors conclude the measured levels were below 60% of the…

This exposure-assessment study evaluated temporal variability of RF-EMF levels from GSM/DCS/UMTS networks using continuous personal exposimeter logging. It proposes an integral-based measure (accumulated energy density from instantaneous power density) alongside 24 h time-averaging to reduce variability in daily…

This study evaluated whether occupational 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure near transformers and distribution power lines affects performance on several computer-based neurobehavior tests. Spot measurements found some electric-field locations above a national occupational standard, while all magnetic-field spots were below the…

This workplace exposure assessment reports extensive spot measurements of ELF electric and magnetic fields in a UPS factory across test areas, production lines, and power substations. The highest fields were observed in test areas (up to 992.0 V/m and 215.6 µT). The authors state that measured levels were below…

This engineering/modeling study derived external electric field values from peak average 10 g SAR in a realistic human head model exposed to plane waves at 500–2500 MHz. The derived fields were compared with IEEE and ICNIRP reference levels across multiple incident directions and polarizations. The authors report…
