This paper reports a multiphysics electromagnetic–thermal simulation of radiofrequency (RF) antenna exposure for a subway station attendant, estimating specific absorption rate (SAR) and temperature rise in the trunk and selected organs at 900, 2600, and 3500 MHz. Using a COMSOL-based model with a detailed human anatomy representation, the authors found simulated SAR and temperature increases that they state are well below ICNIRP occupational exposure limits. The study concludes that RF emissions from antennas in the modeled subway environment pose low health risk for female attendants with similar characteristics to the model used, while noting the work is based on simulations rather than measurements.

This exposure-assessment study conducted field measurements of 5G downlink RF-EMF during a large public festival in Valencia, Spain, and compared them with a baseline day. Measurements covered 700 MHz and 3500 MHz bands across three network operators and five locations, using 6-minute and 30-minute durations. The study reports higher event-related power density (up to eightfold at 3500 MHz) but states that all measured levels remained well below international safety limits.
