The realization of a prototype for a novel band-selective personal exposure assessment system is presented. The new system combines three features that are crucial for NonIonising-Radiation (NIR) monitoring, namely the measurement of power levels of selected near field sources, e.g. internal Wi-Fi module, field levels of far field sources and global position measurements. For this, it uses the features of a common smartphone by an additional software application and an external exposimeter module. The system can be either used for environmental monitoring of field levels or used in future epidemiological studies. Such an approach has the potential for huge NIR studies, featuring representative results with a higher measurement accuracy and an increased functionality compared to current systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
