Contaminación ambiental por ondas electromagnéticas no ionizantes producto de tecnologías inalámbricas en ambientes al aire libre

Abstract

This paper studies the environmental pollution caused by non-ionizing electromagnetic waves from wireless technologies in outdoor environments through the recording of indicators such as electric field strength, magnetic field strength, power density and exposure time to base stations of mobile telephony in the frequencies between 10 MHZ and 8 GHz. The general objective of this research is to estimate the environmental pollution caused by this type of electromagnetic waves ­by selecting a densely populated study area within an urban zone that has an EBTM in its extension, and the establishment of the magnitudes of non-ionizing electromagnetic wave parameters in outdoor environments. The methodology followed was the establishment of the area and the points to be sampled and data collection of variables such as electric field intensity (mV/m), magnetic field strength (mA/m), power density (µW/m2) and exposure time (T) to EBTM. The information collected during the practice stage was processed through the application of software. Finally, statistical analysis of information was carried out. This study concludes that the estimation of environmental pollution by non-ionizing electromagnetic waves caused by wireless technologies in outdoor environments varies according to the distance to the EBTM, topographic conditions of the study area, and density and typology of surrounding buildings.
