Hungarian RF personal exposimetry survey on employees of elementary schools, kindergartens and day nurseries

Abstract : A total of 105 full-day RF exposimetry measurements were made in Budapest. Volunteers belonging to one of three groups (teachers, kindergarten and day nursery employees, office workers) and additionally, telecommunication workers wore the exposimeters on their bodies and kept detailed activity diaries. New software was developed to automatize data processing, combine raw datasets with activity diaries and derive various statistical comparisons. It is an important point of this work that teachers and kindergarten caretakers spend their workdays close to children, receiving similar RF exposures, thus the inclusion such persons into the study also allows estimation of exposure of children
