Electromagnetic radiation, which is used by broadcasting and mobile telephone systems to transmit information, permeates the city environment. In order to properly evaluate population exposure to electromagnetic fields, knowledge of their intensity and spectral components is necessary. In this study the results of radiofrequency field monitoring carried out in Torino, a large town located in the north-west of Italy are shown: the variation of the electromagnetic field strength is evaluated as a function of the height from the ground, the location in the urban area and the frequency, separating the contributions of the different sources (broadcasting antennas and radio base stations for mobile phones). Furthermore, the contribution of the radio base stations is theoretically evaluated, adding the emissions off all installations situated in Torino and examining the field strength maps calculated, considering the orography, for different heights. The theoretical values are also compared with those measured in the frequency range of mobile telephony emissions.
广播和移动电话系统用来传输信息的电磁辐射渗透到城市环境中。为了正确评估人口暴露于电磁场的情况,有必要了解其强度和光谱成分。本研究显示了在都灵(位于意大利西北部的一个大城市)进行的射频场监测结果:将电磁场强度的变化作为离地高度、城市区域位置和频率的函数进行评估,并将不同来源(广播天线和移动电话无线基站)的贡献分开。此外,还对无线电基站的贡献进行了理论评估,将都灵所有设施的辐射量相加,并根据不同高度的地形计算出场强图。理论值还与移动电话发射频率范围内的测量值进行了比较。
