dc.description.abstractThe electromagnetic (EM) pollution can lead to performance degradation in electronic devices or systerns. EM pollution has.been categorized as a new form of environmental pollution. In this preliminary study, so as to detect EM pollution emitted from some important base stations in Nigde province, measurements carried out with mobile equipment -Spectran RF&EMF Hand Held Spectrum Analyser Set (Pro 3) with a frequency range of 1 Hz to 9.4 GHz-were made in three main categories including changes of electrical field, magnetic field and EM power. Measurements were performed near the base stations that are located in three certain areas including the Nigde Castle, Yukari Kayab4t and the Fire Department areas. It was found that (a) magnetic field (A/m) differed, being high in outdoor areas and low in indoor areas, with a difference of 10 to 100 times, (b) lower electromagnetic field values were detected in coordinates at higher points from two coordinates located in the same distance from the base station but in a different height, (c) electromagnetic field was reduced by increasing the distance. The results fall into the limit of international Uncontrolled Response in Public Living Space to GSM900 and DCS1800 Systems and Turkish Uncontrolled Response standards.
