Determination and Analysis of Electromagnetic Pollution at Two Shopping Malls in Konya at 100 kHz-3 GHz Frequency
Derya Gürğan and Levent Seyfi
Abstract—In this paper, short time electromagnetic radiation
measurements were carried out at 100kHz-3 GHz frequency
band to show electromagnetic pollution level at two shopping
malls in Konya city centre. Measurements were performed at
predetermined points on floor plans of shopping malls. Narda
EMR-300 radiation meter was used as a measurement device
and 6 minutes averaged values of measurement data were
recorded. When the measurement results were examined, it was
shown that limit values determined by ICTA (Information and
Communication Technologies Authority) and ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) were not exceeded by the measured electromagnetic
radiation values and major electromagnetic radiation resource
was signal boosting devices used for mobile phones.
Index Terms—Electromagnetic pollution, GSM signal amplifier, non-ionizing radiation, radiation measurement.
