Investigation of electromagnetic pollution at frequency band of the 100 kHz – 3 GHz of center of Zonguldak

In this study, electromagnetic (EM) pollution research at the 100 kHz – 3 GHz of RF region of center of Zonguldak was conducted by using dynamic measurement procedure. Determination of electromagnetic pollution was achieved by taking measurements on the planned areas by installing electromagnetic radiation (EMR) measurement device, global positioning system (GPS) device, and mobile PC on a private vehicle board. Time-varying electric field strengths as volt per meter (V/m) measured using EMR device and coordinate values measured using GPS device were loaded to mobile PC on a board of moving vehicle. Values of electric field strengths were presented on 3D map according to range intervals by making colorization. Hence, EM pollution map were produced for center of Zonguldak. The measured values were compared with national and international reference levels for the exposure analysis; it was found that the values were under the limit allowed of national and international values for measurement dates taken at the frequency band of 100 kHz – 3 GHz of center of Zonguldak‥
