Summary:
This paper presents results from a survey of RF electromagnetic field levels at 94 sites across four urban areas in the USA. Results are compared with those obtained by a similar, although much larger, study at 15 major metropolitan areas conducted prior to the introduction of mobile phone networks in 1980. The authors also discuss their results in the context of more recent studies in several European countries. All measured values were found to be far lower than the maximum permissible exposure limit for the general public mandated by the Federal Communications Commission in the USA. FM radio was found to be the dominant contributor to the measured RF levels.
