Abstract: This study investigates the behaviour of electromagnetic (EM) waves in densely populated environments using a Multicomponent Discrete Propagation Model (MCDM). Our analysis focuses on four critical parameters: Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), Electrical Field, Skin Depth, and Effective Radiated Power (ERP) by working on crowd densities and frequencies relevant to mobile technologies. This study is the first to employ a Propagation Model for such an analysis, offering a novel approach. Through comprehensive simulations, we explore how variations in electrical field strengths impact SAR, skin depth, and ERP. The results are compared to established safety limits for whole-body SAR exposure, providing valuable insights for guidelines. This research aims to contribute to designing future electronic devices that minimize overall RF emissions. This innovative approach has the potential to improve public confidence in the safety of wireless technologies significantly
