“…Measurement with a human head phantom in a shielded environment shows that the value of electrical intensity for a 6-min interval was not exceeded. A call in a shielded environment could, especially with more than one RF source may cause a rise in values even exceeding the limit values [ 13 , 17 , 18 ]. It highly depends on the type of EMF source and on what frequency in the mobile band the phone connects to the base station.…”

“…The occurred absorption influences the parts of the body near the radiated device at frequencies from 100 kHz to 300 GHz. Therefore, the local peak SAR limit is considered the most critical value [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

“…The results of studies [ 18 ], [ 13 ] and [ 19 ] also point out the potential radiation risks for people with cochlear implants in shielded spaces where they are exposed to EMF. This situation occurs during a telephone call in a railway carriage, affecting the person making the call as well as other persons in the vicinity.…”

The article’s subject is the investigation of electromagnetic fields (EMF) of the microwave frequency band in a typical human living environment, especially in shielded areas. The point of view of electromagnetic field presence in the environment with the rapid increase in the level of the electromagnetic background is currently an essential point concerning population protection against the potential adverse effects of such EMFs. The authors focus on actual measurements, especially in shielded spaces frequently used in everyday life, such as elevator cabins and cars. The goal is a quantitative evaluation of the distribution of specific vector quantities of the EM field and a comparison with the currently valid hygiene standards. Measured values in shielded spaces show elevated levels in contrast to the open space. However, the values do not exceed limits set by considering the thermal effect on living tissues.

This study reviews recent research on Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) exposure in confined environments, focusing on methodologies and parameters. Studies typically evaluate RF-EMF exposure using an electric field and specific absorption rate but fail to consider temperature rise in the tissues in confined environments. The study highlights the investigation of RF-EMF exposure in subterranean environments such as subways, tunnels and mines. Future research should evaluate the exposure of communication devices in such environments, considering the surrounding environment. Such studies will aid in understanding the risks and developing effective mitigation strategies to protect workers and the general public.
