A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF IONIZING AND NON-IONIZING RADIATION LEVELS IN BRASOV

A group of residents of a new apartment block have health problems with symptoms similar to those produced by strong electric fields. Such problems arose in an area in close proximity to a group of antennas. This paper presents the results of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation measurements in the most used frequency range. The results are compared with the limit values allowed by national and international legislation and with values measured in a different location. The chosen location is similar to an apartment in a crowded area. The results of measurements lead to the conclusion that non-ionizing radiation level is within acceptable limits but the radon level is within the attention limit.
