Abstract
The mobile telephony relay antennas number is growing with a view to cover the national territory and meet the subscriber communication needs. In Cote dIvoire, this fact is currently raising the harmfulness issue of RF emissions produced by these installations on the general public. This situation has forced the national frequency management body to conduct annual measurement campaigns to control the RF emission levels comparatively to the limit values recommended by international bodies. The current campaign in the city of Abidjan with ten municipalities, therefore, falls within this process framework and has made it possible to generally conclude that the recommended limit values are respected at all the different measurement points. However, these results specifically show high levels of radiation produced by mobile network installations compared to those from TV and FM network installations.
Highlights
The mobile telephony relay antennas number is growing with a view to cover the national territory and meet the subscriber communication needs
The use of devices and technologies that operate through electromagnetic fields (EMF) to transmit information is steadily increasing in Côte d'Ivoire
Through the International Committee for Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), research has resulted in certain reference limits establishment that will allow public health preservation against RF emissions
