Özet:

 

In parallel with the technological developments and substantial growth in the use of wireless communication services over the last few years, the number of base stations has therefore increased. This increment causes more inevitable exposed electromagnetic radiation (EMR) levels. Thus, measurement and evaluation of exposed EMR levels emitted by base stations have become more crucial than before for human health. For this reason, in this study electromagnetic radiation (EMR) measurements were conducted on four different days in Unye which is one of the most populated districts of Ordu. Two of the measurements were performed before the deployment of fourth Generation (4G) system while the rest two done after the deployment using PMM 8053 EMR meter. Short term measurements were collected at 47 different locations while the 24 hours long measurement was recorded at a chosen location. According the total 189 measurement results, the maximum electric field strength (E) is 4.52 V/m.  Even though the measured E levels are below the limits that are determined by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA); it is can be considered as high for the countries where the lower limits are applied. It can also be concluded from the results that deployment of 4G system causes an increment about 9% in EMR levels.
