ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION EXPOSURE FROM MOBILE CELL PHONE DEVICES TO ITS VICINITY- A STUDY

Cell phones use Electromagnetic non ionizing radiations in the microwave range, and emit radiation energy in the form of Electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiations have very adverse effects not only related to the human health issues causing various diseases, but it may also affect the performance of a device and degrade its performance. The current study was accepted with an endeavor to come across the Electromagnetic radiation exposure level from mobile cell phone to its vicinity in terms of power density and electric field. Three different cases have been considered. In the first case Android cell phone with hotspot active mode was considered, in the second case hotspot was kept in deactivate mode while in the third case ordinary cell phone was used for our study and analysis. It has been observed that the electromagnetic radiation exposure level in the third case (ordinary cell phone) was eventually much higher as compared to all other cases over the investigated region. The finding of our study also includes that for all the cases the EM exposure level complies with the guidelines and limits set by the International Commission on Nonionized Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) for the exposure of non-ionized radiation in the form of electromagnetic field, power density or Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
