摘要

The rapid introduction over the last years and increasing use of wireless technologies nowadays led to public health concerns regarding adverse health effects. The general public, however, is not familiar enough with the typical everyday exposure levels, although they are generally well below reference levels based on scientific evidence and issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). A practical way to fill this information gap is the use of a heat map, which is easily comprehensible for laymen and experts. Although a heat map can be built using non-measurement based estimations or RF-EMF simulators, these approaches are heavily dependent on accurate data (e.g., base station parameters), which is seldom readily available. Our method, however, is solely measurement-based, but instead of the traditional approach of defining a uniform or random measurement grid beforehand, we introduce an iterative strategy, in which measurement locations are based on the information gained from previous measurements, with the specific aim to rapidly discover and characterize regions of elevated exposure (hotspots). This so-called sequential design has proven its worth in many other research domains. Using fast broadband measurements, we applied our method to the city center of Ghent, Belgium (area 1 km2), and built an accurate, graphical representation of the RF-EMF exposure. Analysis of a set of random validation measurements showed excellent results (r = 0.75; average relative error < 3 dB). The average electric-field strength was 0.49 V/m, and maximum levels of 1.7 to 3.1 V/m were measured in the discovered hotspots. Narrowband measurements further identified GSM900 mobile phone base stations as principal contributor (45 to 100%) to the total RF-EMF exposure. Methodologies such as ours, using measururement-based iterative algorithms, are needed to anticipate critical areas and to quickly assess the exposure in a certain area.
