Assessment of Electromagnetic Exposure to a Child and a Pregnant Woman Inside an Elevator in Mobile Frequencies

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study presents an in-depth dosimetry analysis of energy assimilation from EM waves and increase in the temperature during mobile phone usage within an elevator cabin. The cellphone operates at two different frequencies (1000 MHz and 1800 MHz) and is simulated at three different talk positions vertical, tilt, and cheek. Realistic numerical models of a woman in the third trimester of pregnancy and a girl at the age of 5 years are employed. The analysis highlights the necessity of a comprehensive approach to fully grasp the complexities of EM exposure.
