Poster: A novel measurement system for environmental exposure monitoring

Abstract

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.

Development of an RF-EMF Exposure Surrogate for Epidemiologic Research

“…The adolescents carried a portable measurement device, a so-called exposimeter, for three consecutive days. Two versions of the device Expom (referred to as Expom 1 for the older version and Expom 3 for the newer version) were used to measure 13 frequency bands ranging from Digital Video Broadcasting—Terrestrial (DVB-T, centre frequency of 620 MHz) to Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMa, 3500 MHz) [ 19 ]. Nine out of the 13 measured frequency bands were used in our analysis ( Table 1 ).…”
