Abstract
For the first time the intensity of the electric and magnetic field in the range of electrical power supply and power transmission lines (50 Hz) and in the range of radio-television broadcasting and telecommunications (100 kHz - 3 GHz) was measured in occupational sites and power plants of the city of Gjirocaster, Albania, and its surroundings. The interest is mainly due to the absence of laws limiting field intensity and to the uncontrolled proliferation of emission sources for mobile tele- phones in Albania.
Highlights
Rapid proliferation of mobile phone antennas (MPA) and mobile phone base stations (MPBS), well visible on the roof of palaces in the centre of the cities made worldwide people concerned about health effects of the emitted electromagnetic fields
In Gjirokastër, other found out electromagnetic radiation sources are a MPBS (S2), placed on a roof in the downtown district and a power transmission station (PTS) (S3), at the Southern limit of the city, where electrical power at 20 kV is reduced to 220 - 380 V and conveyed to the local users
For the first time measurements of the electromagnetic pollution were made in the city of Gjirocastër, Albania
Summary
Rapid proliferation of mobile phone antennas (MPA) and mobile phone base stations (MPBS), well visible on the roof of palaces in the centre of the cities made worldwide people concerned about health effects of the emitted electromagnetic fields. (2014) Recording of the Intensity of the Electric and Magnetic Fields at 50 Hz and of the Electromagnetic Field in the Range 100 kHz - 3 GHz in the City and Province of Gjirocastër, Albania. Due to a long-term collaboration between the universities of Lecce and Gjirocastër, the first survey was made in the city and province of Gjirocastër, south of Albania, at the border with Greece
