As the mobile telecommunication systems are tremendously growing allover the world then the numbers of handheld and base stations are also rapidly growing and it became very popular to see these base stations distributed everywhere in the neighborhood and on roof tops which has caused a considerable amount of panic to the public in Palestine concerning wither the radiated electromagnetic field from these base stations may cause any health effect or hazard. This paper focuses on the radiated electromagnetic energy from some typical mobile base stations around the city of Nablus. The exposure levels due to these stations were measured and compared to some international standard guidelines like ICNIRP and FCC to see if it meets these standards, this is in order to answer some of the public fear and concern. The results are presented and some comments are made on the other sources of electromagnetic radiation in the 200 kHz to 3 GHz range.
