AbstractStudents will develop a measurement concept for a small monitoring study on "Extremely Low Frequency" (ELF) electromagnetic fields and "Radio Frequency" (RF) electromagnetic fields. In their practical work, they will study at the dependence of exposure on distance to several strong environmental and household sources of electromagnetic fields. They will also look at typical exposure patterns which
Objective- Developing knowledge about important sources of ELF and RF electromagnetic fiels in everyday life
