Comparison of Electromagnetic Wave Intensity from Different Type of Communication Towers in Kurdistan Region

Abstract

With increasing of the usage of the mobile communication devices and internet network information the electromagnetic pollution produced. the entry of private telecommunications companies in Iraq has been started since 2003, These companies began to build up cellular towers to accomplish the telecommunication works, but they ignore the safety conditions imposed for the health and environment as a result a health risk for life beings and environment. The aim of this work is to determine the safe and unsafe ranges. Discuss damage caused by radiation emitted from (Asia cell) and (Korek telecom) base stations in Erbil and Sulimania Cities, and compare it with international standard exposure limit. Practical measurements of power density around base stations has been accomplished by using Electromagnetic Field strength meter.
