Development of an information network for continuous investigation of electromagnetic fields

The project proposes and develops an information network, as support for automatic and continuous investigation of the overall level of electromagnetic (EM) field of non-ionizing EM radiation. The proposed system is able to monitor all sources that emit EM field, over the territory covered by this network. The system collects data about EM field on a daily basis and compares them with the legally prescribed limits of exposure. The proposed network is able to perform investigation for a number of sources, that can be found in power system and systems for power transmission (transmission lines, distribution and substation equipment), through a system of radio and television broadcasting, to the wireless communication networks (like GSM, UMTS or WLAN). The investigation of EM field, based on 24 hours of continuous monitoring, is performed over the territory covered by the system and obtained results are recorded in the database. Through the Internet network, the results are instantly available and provide information to the relevant institutions in the area of environmental protection against the electromagnetic pollution, caused by a number of sources of EM field. The proposed system constantly provides investigation and monitoring of EM field. Therefore, it is a significant support in efforts to take systematic care of potential effects of non-ionizing EM fields on the health of the population, taking into account their concern about long-term exposure to EM field.
