Radiofrequency Exposure Amongst Employees of Mobile Network Operators and Broadcasters

Abstract: Little is known about personal exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields amongst employees in the telecommunications industry responsible for installing and maintaining transmitters. IARC classified RF exposure as a possible carcinogen, although evidence from occupational studies was judged to be inadequate. Hence, there is a need for improved evidence of any potentially adverse health effects amongst the workforce occupationally exposed to RF radiation. In this study, results are presented from an exposure surve… Show more

“…These systems maintenance crews spend most of their time around or on the tower. They are most likely to be subjected to the worst effects of radiation (Khasbage 2011; Litchfield et al, 2017; To, Submitted, and Prepared By, 2010). Using robots for data collection or inspection will function as a technician's assistant.…”

“…Some studies have used exposimeters, to be able to monitor employees at their work-stations; but close-field exposure is poorly assessed by this means [7]. Combining the two methods gives a better picture of exposure, and has been used in certain work environments [8].…”
