A Georeferenced Dataset of Electromagnetic Field Exposure Measurements in Colombia
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This Data Descriptor presents a georeferenced dataset of electromagnetic-field exposure measurements collected in Colombia between 2 November 2023 and 30 June 2024. The records originate from the Sistema de Monitoreo de Campos of the Agencia Nacional del Espectro (ANE), which uses isotropic probes to monitor broadband radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from 100 kHz to 8 GHz and reports six-minute averages of incident power density in W/m2. The comma-separated value file contains 1,286,346 timestamped records and seven source variables, including Well-Known Text (WKT) point geometry. The principal 2024 subset comprises 995,238 records from 24 monitoring stations. We provide a reproducible workflow for timestamp and coordinate parsing, structural and numeric validation, station-level aggregation, and spatial sensitivity analysis using inverse distance weighting with the mean, median, and 95th percentile. The dataset does not provide frequency-resolved measurements, calibration certificates, or measurement-uncertainty budgets; these omissions limit the use of the public file for formal regulatory-compliance assessment. The accompanying repository includes validated station-level summaries, descriptive tables, figures, and reproducible R code. The package supports environmental monitoring, geospatial analysis, methodological comparison, and reproducible reuse of electromagnetic-field exposure data.
