Abstract

An analysis of the electromagnetic fields measured on the campus of the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) is presented, ESPOCH has a considerable population transit with about 14,000 students, administrative staff, and teachers who remain exposed daily, during their working hours, to non-ionizing radiation generated by a base station installed by a mobile phone service operator. It leads a question, whether the health of those exposed to these radiations could be compromised due to this. The present research study shows the measurements in the 1900MHz GSM band for seven days at fixed location:  370m away from the antenna. The main objective is determining if the radiation levels are within established limits by the regulatory entity. Or identify if there is a risk for the university community for the increasing number of antennas for the mobile telephony and mobile broadband service. In the discussion we show that electromagnetic fields are within limits established by the World Health Organization.
