论文摘要
我们关注居住在蜂窝塔附近的人们的电磁场（EMF）暴露安全性。为此，我们分析了近20年来在2000多个测量点上分布在意大利地区的2000年以上测量点收集的大量长期EMF测量数据集。我们评估EMF暴露与以下因素之间的关系：（i）与最近安装的距离（II）附近EMF来源类型，（III）基站（BS）技术和（IV）EMF调节更新。总体而言，附近BS的暴露水平低于意大利EMF限制，从而确保了人口的安全。此外，与广播/电视中心和其他EMF来源相比，BSS代表最低的接触。但是，与用户接近的BS EMF暴露在过去几年中表现出越来越多的趋势，这可能是由于多种技术的普遍部署和EMF法规更新。作为侧面考虑，如果EMF水平随当前趋势而继续增加，那么与BSS接近的EMF暴露将使接下来的EMF限制饱和到接下来的20年，距离最接近的BS 30米。
We focus on the ElectroMagnetic Field (EMF) exposure safety for people living in the vicinity of cellular towers. To this aim, we analyze a large dataset of long-term EMF measurements collected over almost 20 years in more than 2000 measurement points spread over an Italian region. We evaluate the relationship between EMF exposure and the following factors: (i) distance from the closest installation(s), (ii) type of EMF sources in the vicinity, (iii) Base Station (BS) technology, and (iv) EMF regulation updates. Overall, the exposure levels from BSs in the vicinity are below the Italian EMF limits, thus ensuring safety for the population. Moreover, BSs represent the lowest exposure compared to Radio/TV repeaters and other EMF sources. However, the BS EMF exposure in proximity to users exhibits an increasing trend over the last years, which is likely due to the pervasive deployment of multiple technologies and to the EMF regulation updates. As a side consideration, if the EMF levels continue to increase with the current trends, the EMF exposure in proximity to BSs will saturate to the maximum EMF limit by the next 20 years at a distance of 30 meters from the closest BS.
