The surrounding telecommunication systems use the propagation of electromagnetic waves as a transmission medium. These fields affect humans and nature. Using the ESM-140 personal dosemeter of electromagnetic emission makes it possible to determine the distribution of changes in the intensity of the phenomenon to which people are exposed. 15 Key words: electromagnetic field dosemeter, high-frequency electromagnetic emission, SAR Copyright © 2016 by ISASDMT European Journal of Medical Technology • 1(10) 2016 Introduction The quality of human life in the environment is associated with functional, health, aesthetic, ecological, economic and environmental aspects. The quality of the environment, assessed from the point of view of living and habitation, is largely dependent on the state of buildings and technical infrastructure, in particular electrotechnology, transport and telecommunications. Exposure to electromagnetic field of high frequency is common, since the fields are produced intentionally or unintentionally by all electrical equipment and systems for wireless data transmission, such as radio, TV or mobile telephony [3-6,17-20,22,25]. In today's era of mobile communication (GSM) and wireless communications (Bluetooth, WiFi, IEEE 802) it is increasingly important to monitor and measure the electromagnetic fields generated by devices operating at communication frequencies. The main system of cellular telephony is the digital mobile telephone system GSM (Global System of Mobile Communications). The transmission in the GSM system takes place in a duplex mode, and it is therefore necessary to use a dual transmission channel. In the GSM 900 MHz a transmission channel frequency band is isolated separately from a mobile station (of the telephone) to the base station, a so-called “up” channel = “uplink” (880-915 MHz), and a separate bandwidth to create “down” channels = “downlink” (935-960 MHz), i.e. from the base stations to the mobile station (of the telephone). The transmission channel is created not only by frequency division, but also the allocation of time slots. The transmission in the GSM 900 system is pulsatory and occurs via one of the 124 dualfrequency channels. However, in the GSM 1800 system 374 (double) frequency channels are separated. When you initiate transmission in the GSM system, simultaneous sending and receiving takes place of an electromagnetic wave signal, impulse-modulated and digitally coded [2]. Development of the network entails the construction of an increasing number of base stations, allowing the user to connect to a given network. Each base station emits electromagnetic field (EMF) via the (usually sector) antenna system. The magnetic field in a digital system is characterised by the fact that at a certain time an impulse signal is transmitted of greater amplitude than the analog system. Thus, the environment and the people are exposed to abrupt changes in the electromagnetic signals. Depending on the requirements of the designers of the network structure and the field conditions, the number of stations, antennas and their characteristics are suitably chosen to cover the area and maintain the telecommunication parameters allowing to establish and maintain transmission. The use of mobile phones has rapidly been increasing in recent years. Alongside, there has been a growing concern about the possible negative health effects caused by mobile telecommunications networks. Research is conducted by various government agencies, but also by scientific centers [3-6,17-20,22,25]. The conclusions of the tests are not definitive, but usually no statistically significant relationship is found between exposure and chronic or acute symptoms of ill health. However, all the conclusions of the research have a common area: it is showing the need for carrying out further dosimetric research. Studies of electromagnetic field in the environment are conducted in order to identify its source and assess the level of exposure of humans and the environment. Electromagnetic impact on people Analysis of environmental conditions in terms of intensity of electromagnetic field is legally conditioned at European and national level. Worthy of note is the fact that national laws are stricter in relation to European ones. According to the legal acts [23,24] rules are set out for the protection of the environment from inadvertent exposure in the vicinity of sources of electromagnetic fields. Among the principles acceptable levels of non-ionizing radiation are defined in the form of limit values of physical quantities, which should not be exceeded in places accessible to people. Acceptable levels of high-frequency electric and magnetic fields in force in the country are summarised in the table 1. 16 Copyright © 2016 by ISASDMT European Journal of Medical Technology • 1(10) 2016 Table 1. The frequency range of electromagnetic fields for which physical parameters are set characterising their impact on the environment for places accessible to the public, and the levels of electromagnetic fields characterised by limits of physical parameters for places accessible to the public (Dz. U., i.e. Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland, No. 192/03 of 14 November 2003., pos. 1883). Physical parameter Electric component Magnetic component Power density Electromagnetic field frequency range 1 0 Hz 10 kV/m 2.500 A/m - 2 from 0 Hz to 0,5 Hz - 2.500 A/m - 3 from 0,5 Hz to 50 Hz 10 kV/m 60 A/m - 4 from 0,05 kHz to 1 kHz - 3/f A/m - 5 from 0,001 MHz to 3 MHz 20 V/m 3 A/m - 6 from 3 MHz to 300 MHz 7 V/m - - 7 from 300 MHz to 300 GHz 7 V/m - 0.1 W/m2 In the course of research on the effects of electromagnetic fields many different phenomena have been observed which may affect the health of humans and other living organisms, including inductive currents to flowing through the body, or thermal and nonthermal biological effects. The flow of the induced current through the body can cause stimulation of nerve and muscle tissue, including the impact on cardiac arrhythmia. This flow is however essential in the case of frequencies below 100 MHz. In bands of higher frequency of vital importance may be thermal effects associated with the heating of individual tissues and body fluids of living organisms under the influence of energy absorbed by the electromagnetic field effects and non-thermal effects, occurring at much lower field intensity than thermal effects, without noticeable temperature increase of individual tissues [3,18,19,21,25]. At low power levels where thermal effects are unimportant, EMR still maintains the ability to affect cells. Radiation in the very high-energy gamma-ray frequency range, for example, can directly induce ionisation and lead to radical formation. While this has clear implications for biology, the energy associated with the visible region and down to the radio frequency is not sufficient to remove electrons from atomic or molecular orbitals, i.e. they are not ionising radiations. For example, radiofrequency EMR, at the gigahertz frequencies used in mobile phone communications, can be considered to be a stream of particles, or photons, with energies one million times lower than the energies required to directly alter the chemistry of molecules. There are many hypotheses which may explain the effect of RF EMR in living organism. It may be presumed that, basically, all possible mechanisms concerning the coherence, resonance, signal averaging, heterogeneity of the magnetic field in heterogenous dielectric structures and non-linear effects, generate signals of power much lower than magnetic fields related with normal physiological functions of physiological healing of wounds, stimulation of the muscles and functioning of the nervous system [26]. Challis recognised one probable non-thermal process: formation of free radicals in biomolecules with large hypersubtle structures and rapid magnetic relaxation [27]. Energy from an external signal may be concentrated in this process, when the electromagnetic wavelength is equal to the difference between energy levels in the molecule, which leads to an increase in signal strength forcing. However, the force of signal strengthening decreases with the loss within the system. The majority of ions are bonded to water; therefore, the dispersion of energy while hitting water particles increases the loss of the system with radio frequencies, limiting the degree of strengthening which might be achieved in the resonance systems. One of the concepts frequently used to justify the effect exerted by radio waves on the cells is the induction of additional potentials on cellular membranes, 17 Copyright © 2016 by ISASDMT European Journal of Medical Technology • 1(10) 2016 which interfere with the transport of ions [28]. The change of ions transport via the cellular membrane is possible, but only in the case of fields with a voltage of several hundred micro-volts, considerably higher than the voltages generated physiologically by the membranes of organelles, such as mitochondria. Exposure to non-physiological voltage of whole cell organelles showed that when the membrane of a given structure is thicker than the cellular membrane and organelles contain higher concentrations of ions, more energy passes through the organelle membrane than through the cellular membrane [28]. The subsequent concept often used to justify the effect of radio waves on cells is the induction of changes in molecular bonds, which may affect the activity of protein enzymes [29]. According to Cotgreave, the structure of cellular proteins is diverse, and it may be expected that exposure to RF will be able to exert an effect according to the structure of protein [29]. In addition, many proteins are electrostatically bound, thus RF EMR may affect the protein structures within a cell. Scientific studies demonstrated that the denaturation, aggregation and stability of proteins are susceptible to the effect of radio waves [30, 31]. In fact, the efficacy of protein as an enzyme depends on its structure. Some side chains of amino acids in proteins are polar, and will behave differently during exposure to the EMR. Experiments with high levels of radiation (for the frequency band from 1.95 GHz) showed an effect on the packaging of proteins [32]. Thus, the possible physical models suggest that the interaction between charge and dipols in each protein structure change the level of barrier for the processes of protein packaging in metabolic pathways [32]. In order to determine the appropriate influence of the electromagnetic field, various parameters have been introduced describing the properties of both the field and the energy-absorbing properties of the tissue. These parameters can be divided into dosimetric quantities, which are measures of the impact of electromagnetic fields on humans and the living environment, as well as the volume of derivatives describing only the size of the individual components of the electromagnetic field [18,19,21]. Among them we can distinguish specific absorption, absorbency (increase in the energy absorbed), the induced current density and touch current. Impact of high electromagnetic fields in mobile telephony is limited mainly to the energy absorption by the various tissues of the living organism and converting it into heat energy. Specific absorption is used to determine the amount of energy absorbed by a given tissue or the whole body of a given mass, a certain density and volume. In order to accurately determine the size of the energy absorbed by a given mass, use is made of the information characterising the electrical properties of the tissue of a living organism. Using the conductivity of tissue, which measures the ability of a material to conduct electrical current, σ [S/m], an effective value of electric field intensity in the tissue, E [V/m] and the density of the target tissue, ρ [kg/m3], the specific absorption rate (SAR) parameter is determined from the formula [18,19,21]: σ ⋅ E2 SAR = ρ [W/kg] SAR lower than 4 W/kg is unable to raise the temperature of the body tissues by more than 1°C. On this basis, it is assumed that the conditions of occupational exposure should not result in SAR exceeding 0.4 W/kg. For environmental exposure an additional safety factor is used and SAR is determined up to 0.08 W/kg. Using this information, suitable numerical dosimetry can be performed. The electromagnetic waves emitted by cellular phones belong to microwaves, as their frequency is in the range of 300 MHz – 300 GHz (GSM 800, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz). Test reports and scientific publications on the impact of strong electromagnetic fields on living organisms distinguish overall thermal effect. In terms of radio frequency, threshold values can cause noticeable effects in excitable tissues –the intensity of the absorption of electromagnetic energy by the body increases and a thermal effect appears. The effect of field penetration into the human body is increase in tissue temperature. The temperature rise depends on many factors, among others on frequencies, electrical parameters of the tissue, field intensity and the individual characteristics of the person subject to exposure. These disorders are mainly short-term in nature, but some of them can lead to ailments and diseases. 18 Copyright © 2016 by ISASDMT European Journal of Medical Technology • 1(10) 2016 Mass coexistence of electrical and electronic devices, as well as installations, means that as a result of emission superposition of multiple devices, fields overlap with one another to form a magnetic field at a measurable value over large areas. Risk arising from exposure to electromagnetic fields depends on the intensity of the generated fields and electromagnetic immunity of objects exposed to these fields. Most often mentioned are the following effects observed in users of mobile phones: headache, dizziness, insomnia, increased blood pressure, impaired memory (short term memory loss), impaired vision and hearing disorders. In the case of effects on reproductive processes the influence of electromagnetic field can be considered in terms of the effect on male and female reproductive system, and the developing embryo and fetus [1,3,9-16,19]. Such knowledge is still evolving and all the conditions of human reproduction are still not known. It is also suspected that electromagnetic waves have a negative impact on human reproduction and may contribute as one of many environmental factors to the negative natural growth observed in many European countries. That is why among the many preventive measures there are recommendations that pregnant women limit the use of cell phones. Existing natural fields did not constitute until now a threat to humans, but with the advent of artificial sources but rather adverse effects can be expected, especially at higher values. The existing scientific evidence is insufficient, so it is important to continuously monitor the field strengths. The existing scientific reports on the impact of electromagnetic fields on semen are contradictory. Some have a beneficial effect on sperm motion parameters, while others the opposite effect [1,11,12,13,15,16]. It can be expected that it depends on the quantity and quality of transmitted energy, but also the balance in Fig. 1. ESM 140 dosemeter and the manner of its position during the tests the oxidoreduction system of semen. This balance is shaped by many factors influencing individual antioxidant activity in the body, but also by the composition of the media used in the preparation of semen [7,9,10,14]. Electromagnetic field dosemeter At the foundation of assessing the potential risks of exposure to electromagnetic influence in a particular place, every time the actual monitoring of electromagnetic fields must be performed on an on-going basis. In order to control the effects of the field, a device for monitoring and measuring the it can be used, such as the ESM 140 dosemeter produced by Maschek. In this study, a dosemeter lent by Astat Ltd was used [2]. The electromagnetic field dosemeter used in the study is a metric device measuring electromagnetic field in real time. It is an innovative device which records the field frequency within people’s close proximity, produced by wireless communication devices. This meter measures the value of electric field intensity levels for each frequency (GSM 900 and GSM 1800 frequencies and for DECT, UMTS, WLAN) [2]. ESM 140 has a USB port for data transfer; a big advantage of the device is the GRAPH ESM 140 software specially written for it, which works with a with Windows™ environment computer. The dosemeter starts measurements automatically, the end point is also registered in the time domain and the measurement time is set to the second. The signals are simultaneously measured in 8 channels and recorded in memory (Fig. 1, Table 2). Dosimetric studies The actual level of electromagnetic emission depends on the saturation of installations and electrical equipment of the region; industrialised areas usually have higher levels than rural ones (agricultural, forestry) [17,18,20,22]. We can estimate that, apart from the closest regions surrounding large radio and television transmission or energy units, high field strengths occur in large urban areas, where one should distinguish extensive infrastructure for mobile networks, 19 Copyright © 2016 by ISASDMT European Journal of Medical Technology • 1(10) 2016 radio and television stations, industry, infrastructure, railway, tram or trolleybus. Using the ESM-140 dosemeter, tests were carried out in Lublin in October 2015. Measurements were made on the campus of the Lublin University of Technology (LUT) near the student residence block No. 3 and in the close neighbourhood (along Nadbystrzycka, Narutowicza and Głęboka streets). The first measurement was made in the students’ residence block of flats No. 3 (LUT) [8]. This place was chosen because there is a large concentration of electronic and communications installations, and on the roof of the dormitory there are antennas of a GSM base station. The measurement was started on the top floor of the dormitory. The device fastened to the shoulder of the person measuring was carried through the corridors of the students’ home for about 3 minutes on each floor. At the end of the measurement, the researcher went outside and made measurements around the dorm. The results obtained were dropped into the software and are presented as mean values both in the electric field strength and SAR. The measurement lasted about 30 minutes. In both graphs (Fig. 2, 3) a marked increase in the measured values outside the building can be seen. The table 3 shows the basic statistics of the results. The second measurement was made during a walk between the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the Lublin University of Technology along Narutowicza Street and the building of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin at Głęboka Street [8]. The route along which the measurements were made was chosen because of a high concentration of elements emitting electromagnetic field. The results were similarly dropped into the software and are presented as mean values in two scales. The measurement lasted about 20 minutes. The graphs show (Fig. 4, 5) a distinct change in intensities arising Table 2.

The table 4 shows the basic statistics of the results. Both tables present the statistics realised by the dosemeter management software. A centile system is used here, measuring the concentration of units in terms of percentage, dividing the community into 100 equal parts and used for large samples. With this measure, for any observation number of an ordered community one can determine the percentage of communities located above or below this observation. Taking into account the results obtained, the largest exposure was observed in the "downlink" bands, and 5% of the results obtained exceed the value of 120 mV/m. Summary Electromagnetic fields of high intensity can cause negative effects on the human body. Especially high frequency bands should be examined, as it is in them that thermal effects associated with energy-absorption take place. Table 4.

Research and analysis can be conducted with an electromagnetic field dosemeter. The material presented here shows the results of tests obtained using an ESM-140 dosemeter. The values measured do not exceed permissible limits. Similar tests are done in other centres, often with longer exposure time. By using this type of dosemeter, research was also conducted on a random population of 329 adults living in four different cities in Bavaria. The object of study was the relationship between exposure to mobile telephony frequencies and well-being in adults. No negative impact was detected, and the total exposure to electromagnetic fields of high frequency was significantly below the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection) reference [25].
