Abstract
The telecommunication services rely on transmission of electromagnetic waves, increasing strength of electromagnetic field (EMF) in the environment, as well as corresponding human exposure to EMF. Thus, such inevitable exposure and their potentially unhealthy effects have been in focus of the general population concerns, requesting and initiating development of systems for daily and continuous EMF monitoring, such is the recently launched, the Serbian EMF RATEL system. This system has been established on spatially distributed wireless monitoring stations/sensors, performing long-term EMF observation over the Republic of Serbia territory, in order to timely inform the Serbian public on present level of EMF and associated exposure. The EMF RATEL system, as the world newest monitoring system, brings a feature of monitoring the EMF contribution from telecommunication services, in several predefined frequency sub-bands. Such service-based monitoring approach, some technical details and analysis/dissemination of measurement results will be presented in this paper, in order to highlight capability of EMF RATEL in prevention, protection and management of EMFs, particularly in the Republic of Serbia.
