The main purpose of this work was to investigate the fluctuation of Greek indoor electromagnetic field (EMF) intensity values and identify peaks that might occur. The scientific interest is mainly focused on the bands of extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields and radiofrequency (RF) electric fields which have been suggested to be possibly carcinogenic to humans by the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR). Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) measurements were performed in a variety of indoor dwellings, in Attica and in the islands of Zakynthos and Lesvos. A total number of 4540 measurements were taken in a wide frequency range (50 Hz-2100 MHz) of which 3301 in Attica, 963 in Lesvos and 276 in Zakynthos. Statistical analysis of the data revealed specific statistically significant differences between the mean values of the electric (ELF and RF) but not the magnetic (ELF) field strengths measured at different distances from the EMF source, as well as between some of the mean values of the RF electric field at different bands. Some statistically significant differences between mean electric field values at different geographic locations were also identified. As far as the RF electric field is concerned, the maximum values, in most cases, were below 0.5 V/m, however increased values above 1 V/m and up to 5.6 V/m were occasionally observed. The ELF magnetic field values were lower than 1 μT. It may be concluded that overall, the observed indoor EMF intensity values remained well below domestic and European established limits.
这项工作的主要目的是调查希腊室内电磁场(EMF)强度值的波动情况,并识别可能出现的峰值。科学兴趣主要集中在极低频(ELF)磁场和射频(RF)电场频段,新兴和新确定健康风险科学委员会(SCENIHR)已表明这些频段可能对人类致癌。在阿提卡以及扎金索斯岛和莱斯博斯岛的各种室内住所进行了电磁辐射(EMR)测量。在50赫兹至2100兆赫的宽频率范围内共进行了4540次测量,其中在阿提卡进行了3301次,在莱斯博斯岛进行了963次,在扎金索斯岛进行了276次。数据的统计分析揭示了在距EMF源不同距离处测量的电场(ELF和RF)强度平均值之间存在特定的统计学显著差异,但磁场(ELF)强度平均值之间不存在差异,以及不同频段的RF电场平均值之间也存在差异。还确定了不同地理位置的平均电场值之间存在一些统计学显著差异。就RF电场而言,在大多数情况下,最大值低于0.5伏/米,然而偶尔会观察到高于1伏/米直至5.6伏/米的升高值。ELF磁场值低于1微特斯拉。可以得出结论,总体而言,观察到的室内EMF强度值远低于国内和欧洲规定的限值。
