Progress in the ITU Work Concerning Protection Against Radiation

摘要

Human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is a matter of considerable public concern and therefore many international standardization bodies are involved in this problem. In this paper the activity of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is described. It deals with the exposure assessment around the operating transmitting stations in multiple sources environment and with modeling of the transmitting antennas based on telecommunication operators experience. Recommendations prepared by the ITU are presented. It is pointed out that the work carried out by ITU is complementary to the activity of other entities.
