large-scale measurement of electromagnetic fields near GSM base
Discussing the measurement details for the purpose of risk communication. Reporting the GSM band EMF level in the vicinity of 827 GSM base stations with the concerns
Each base station emits certain amount of RF radiation as part of its service coverage, which may range between 500m and 2km in radius. This is also known as the radio network coverage distance. The purpose of each base station is to connect mobile phone users to the mobile network to make calls or access the Internet. 2. What is RF radiation?
In 2024, following the rollout of 5G systems, IMDA conducted a measurement study on RF radiation from mobile base stations (i.e., 3G, 4G and 5G) in publicly accessible areas around mobile base stations.
From the ICNIRP guidelines for RF radiation, the reference levels for general public exposure to RF radiation depend on the frequency of the RF radiation. The reference levels for common sources of RF radiation ranges from 4.5 to 10 W/m2 for frequencies related to mobile phones and mobile phone base stations.
Results of measurements showed that the RF radiation levels near mobile phone base stations have complied with the safety guidelines set by ICNIRP. Measurements also showed that the ambient RF radiation levels in Singapore are typically thousands of times below the limits in the ICNIRP guidelines.
IMDA, as the telecommunications regulatory authority, regulates the use of radio frequency (“RF”) spectrum in Singapore. IMDA requires its licensees to comply with prescribed technical specifications, such as the emission power from mobile phone base stations by Mobile Network Operators' (“MNOs”).
Global EMF standards and regulations aim to balance technological advancement with public health and safety. Organizations like ICNIRP, WHO, FCC, and the EU play essential roles in setting exposure limits, while some countries adopt additional precautionary measures, especially for children.
