  • Abstract
    The deployment of mobile networks, has brought concern in certain sectors of the population thanks to the multiplication of antennas constituting the base stations and the public dissemination of information, the quality can be questioned, attempting to link the use of mobile phones with diseases such as cancer. While qualified worldwide as the International EMF Project of the World Health Organization, agencies have been busy disseminating current scientific consensus on the matter, often fails in order to reassure worried citizens. To this end, the engineering can give a technical answer, performing Non-Ionizing Radiation measurements in areas of high concentration of emission sources, mainly from mobile phone base stations and broadcasting services Frequency Modulation (FM), which provide much more energy and continuously, which affected systems to mobile phone service. This paper shows the results of measurement campaign upscale held in a city with a high concentration of emission sources such as Buenos Aires, with more than 12,000 points and analyzing the results. They may show the state of level radiation from a big city, either in their central and peripheral areas, correlate with public perception and allow a prospective analysis for small-scale systems, ie for smaller cities.
