Assessment of Electromagnetic Background Levels from Base Stations of Mobile Networks from the Point of View of Technosphere Safety

Abstract

Abstract The growth of communication networks gradually leads to the fact that they become an integral part of the infrastructure of the city. Depending on the features of the building and the location of settlements, the distribution of communication objects may be formed non-uniformly, which leads to a possible deterioration of the electromagnetic environment. This process is difficult to evaluate and predict. The safe coexistence of transmitting radio engineering facilities and residential and administrative buildings is regulated by sanitary norms and rules. The fulfillment of these requirements must be confirmed by appropriate calculations and direct measurements of electromagnetic fields. According to the results of computer modeling and control measurements, the article analyzes the parameters of electromagnetic fields created by cellular communication transmitters near residential buildings. It is concluded that it is necessary to introduce construction restriction zones into the draft urban development plan and continuous monitoring of radiation levels in residential buildings.
