We characterized exposure to RF-EMF in 357 different unique microenvironments in five European countries, using two personal exposimeters, as well as a vest with integrated sensors. We found substantial exposure differences between large cities, medium-sized townsand small villages, and found consistently higher total exposures in central, busy places with many people (business, shopping districts) than in quieter, residential areas.
