"EMF Exposure of Workers Due to 5G Private Networks in Smart Industries"by P. Gajšek, C. Apostolidis, D. Plets, T. Samaras and B. Valič#5G private mobile networks are becoming a platform for ‘wire-free’ networking for professional applications in smart industry sectors, such as automated warehousing, logistics, autonomous vehicle deployments in campus environments, mining, material processing, and more. It is expected that most of these Machine-to-Machine (#M2M) and Industrial Internet of Things (#IIoT) communication paths will be realized wirelessly, as the advantages of providing flexibility are obvious compared to hard-wired network installations. To obtain insight into occupational exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) emitted by 5G private mobile networks, an analysis of RF EMF due to different types of 5G equipment was carried out by INIS, imec and AUTH teams. Research was based on a real case scenario in the production and logistic (warehouse) industrial sector. A private standalone (SA) 5G network operating at 3.7 GHz in a real industrial environment was numerically modeled and compared with in situ RF EMF measurements. The results show that RF EMF exposure of the workers was far below the existing exposure limits due to the relatively low power (1 W) of indoor 5G base stations in private networks. In the analyzed RF EMF exposure scenarios, the radio transmitter installation heights were relatively low, and thus the obtained results represent the worst-case scenarios of the workers’ exposure that are to be expected due to private 5G networks in smart industries.MDPIwww.mdpi.com/2079-9292/14/13/2662 ...

DEVIN 5G: How does personal Up-Link Exposimeter tackle 5G specificities? Dr Serge Bories (CEA-LETI) is presenting a miniature personal uplink (UL) exposimeter (DEVIN) designed to measure the transmitted power emitted by the mobile phones and to identify the mobile phone usage.

BIOEM 2024 - Day2
After our successful Workshop in Day 1, our members start presenting their research. Christos Apostolidis explores the impact of beamforming on exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) in office environments.

Poster alert! A joint work by AUTh and Greek Atomic Energy Commission has been presented in BioEM 2024.

The SEAWave Workshop on Exposure Monitoring and Assessment took place on June 16th 2024, at the BioEM2024 meeting in Chania and was attended by more than 40 people. You can have a look at SEAWave news

SEAWave was also present at the annual meeting of the @SocietyforRiskAnalysis - Europe. Marie Eggeling and Sarah Link presented their research on the perception of 5G.
