Abstract :
In this article, safety conditions in relation to the wireless communication professional are discussed. Measured results of electromagnetic radiation levels (ERL) in the region around cell site antennas are presented. The results were obtained considering an urban region and three different cell site situations. The measurement procedure is described. The safety conditions are evaluated considering the IEEE and ICNIRP guidelines. Although the measured ERL is smaller than that specified by the safety recommendations, safety procedures are suggested.
