This exposure assessment measured outdoor micro-environment RF-EMF levels in daily-life settings across urban and suburban locations in Japan using a portable device (50 MHz–6 GHz) with GPS. Reported exposure levels were higher in urban areas, with railway stations showing the highest levels among the environments measured. The authors emphasize the need for further comprehensive studies and frame prolonged RF-EMF exposure as an ongoing public health concern.

This exposure assessment measured personal RF electric field strength in multiple indoor and outdoor micro-environments in Malaysia using an ExpoM-RF 4 meter and modeled exposure with machine learning (FCNN, XG Boost) and linear regression. Reported exposures were usually below the stated public limit (61.4 V/m), but maximum values in dense urban areas with many base stations were reported to approach 56.7365 V/m. The authors frame near-threshold maxima in high-density areas as a potential health risk and recommend caution and monitoring.
