Abstract

Electromagnetic waves caused from base stations, which are rapidly increasing due to the opportunities provided by modern technology, create an undesired effective electromagnetic pollution in the environment. Mobile phones, as an important electromagnetic radiation source in the human body, are deliberately preferred devices for their use. However, those who live near base stations are exposed to electromagnetic radiation outside of personal preference and often are unaware of this effect. Especially, in districts with high populations such as Kadikoy, possible negative effects should be systematically examined by independent measurement institutions. In this study, the results of the 3-year project entitled “Determination of Electromagnetic Radiation from Base Stations at Istanbul Kadikoy and Determination of Exposure Levels” are discussed in comparison with national and international limits.
