RF exposure survey of children and adults: First results from Slovenia

Although RF exposure surveys have been carried out in the general environment using recently developed personal measurement devices (exposure meters), comprehensive measurement of exposure with a true population based sampling frame and a common protocol across countries has never been conducted. Within the FP-7 funded project Geronimo a personal RF exposure measurements in 5 European countries are conducted following a common measurement protocol. First measurements from 49 children and 49 parents in Slovenia yielded an average personal RF-EMF exposure of 0.26 V/m. Average personal RF-EMF exposure by technology was 0.11 V/m from uplink, 0.18 V/m from downlink, 0.15 V/m from broadcasting, 0.07 V/m from DECT and 0.08 V/m from WLAN.
