Exposure to 5G mmWaves of a Base Station Operator: Dosimetric Study of the Influence of Posture

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In this work, the electric field induced by plane wave exposure inside a human model is numerically investigated. The focus has been on workers exposed to electromagnetic fields at the frequency of 26 GHz, belonging to the FR2 band of 5G technology. The results were obtained adopting a human anatomical model, studying an exposure scenario corresponding to the reference levels for local occupational exposure. The analysis was conducted on a specific anatomical region, i.e., the wrist, in different positions of the arm. The results show how the induced electric field may depend on the posture of the exposed subject and their anatomical characteristics.
