A Comparative Study of Ionizing and Non-Ionizing Radiation Levels in Brasov

Abstract

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 different locations. The chosen location is similar to an apartment in a crowded area. The results of measurements lead to the conclusion that the non-ionizing radiation level is within acceptable limits but the radon level is within the attention limit.
