Abstract
The mobile telephony became one of the worldwide most important technology, allowing wireless communication at any moment and virtually at any place. It is based on electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation from its network base stations, which inevitable cause EMF expansion in surrounding. However, the new base stations are followed by strong controversy, increasing concerns of the public, regarding potentially dangerous health effects of the EMFs. Thus, there is a constant demand for overall investigation and supervision of existing EMF exposure. In last decade, the wireless sensors networks emerged as an innovative solution for effective monitoring of EMFs in the environment. The latest established is the Serbian EMF RATEL network, which offers a sophisticated approach of telecommunication service-based EMF monitoring. This network performs wideband monitoring, taking into account the contribution of all active EMF sources in the vicinity of specific location. In this paper, the new role of the EMF RATEL system is considered, analyzing it as a smart solution for an emergency management. The perceptible causality of the COVID-19 on EMF radiation in campus area of University of Novi Sad is investigated, regarding the extensive activities of students in this part of the city of Novi Sad.
