The aim of this research paper is to estimate the mean value of extremely low frequency (ELF) exposure in schools in Greece. Detailed ELF measurements were conducted and analyzed by the Weighted Peak Method (WPM), which estimates the overall contribution of electromagnetic waves from 1 Hz to 400 kHz, including their phases. A sample of 243 schools was sampled to calculate. The mean value of ELF magnetic fields (MFs) measured in these two groups comprising 243 schools was the principal focus of interest. ELF MF measurements taken in schools situated both far from and near ELF sources had mean and maximum values well below the current International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) standard. The mean value of ELF MFs from all sources within the sampled schools in Greece was 0.21 μΤ. A statically significant difference between the mean MFs measured in the two groups of schools was found, but the MFs in both groups were much lower than the ICNIRP standard.
本研究论文旨在估计希腊学校内极低频（ELF）暴露的平均值。通过加权峰值法（WPM）进行了详细的 ELF 测量和分析，该方法估计了从 1 Hz 到 400 kHz 的电磁波的总体贡献，包括它们的相位。对 243 所学校进行了抽样计算。这两组 243 所学校测量的 ELF 磁场（MF）的平均值是主要关注的焦点。远离和靠近 ELF 源的学校中的 ELF MF 测量值的平均值和最大值远低于当前的国际非电离辐射防护委员会（ICNIRP）标准。希腊抽样学校内所有来源的 ELF MF 的平均值为 0.21 μT。发现两组学校测量的平均 MF 之间存在统计学显著差异，但两组的 MF 均远低于 ICNIRP 标准。
