Electromagnetic field (EMF) and radio frequency (RF) radiation assessment on telecommunication tower and ground station at national planetarium national space agency

摘要

The paper is to research as a result of anxiety raised by staff and workers that work in the range about health hazard potential affected by the Radio Frequency (RF) radiation Electromagnetic Field (EMF) emitted by the Telecommunication Tower and Ground Station at National Space Agency, National Planetarium. The measurement carried out on the 26 November 2014 until 5 December 2014 to embrace the electric field strength, magnetic field strength and power density at identified locations around the anxiety area using Narda Safety Test Solutions NBM 550 and PMM 8053. The radiations were assessed and evaluated against the exposure limits as stated in Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Mandatory Standard. The results indicate that the average radiation level present at all measurement locations of the area were very low and in conformation with the current exposure limit in the MCMC Mandatory Standard for worker and members of the public.
