Abstract :
An extensive set of measurements for the purpose of mapping of the EM pollution in the vicinity of an antenna park is given. The EM power density is compared with three international standard limits. Special attention has been paid to residential areas. An increased EM pollution was found in areas where construction of buildings is planned for the future. In view of these plans, reformation of the park and spreading of the antennas have to be done
