| Abstract | ||
| The present study may be the first attempt to detect the levels of non-ionizing radiation emitted from mobile phone antenna towers in Basra City. This study carried out during 2015,used materials and methods such as Microwave Leakage Detector of EMF-180 and ArcGis, etc., and a spatial analysis method has been adopted. For the measuring, 44 sampling stations located in 16 districts of the study area (Basra City) were selected. This study concluded that the measured levels of non-ionizing radiation emissions were spatially varied based on a set of factors and circumstances. The maximum and minimum recorded values were 1.980 and 0.004 mW/cm-2 in Junyna and Hakemmia sampling stations, respectively. However, there is a considerable part of the study area to be covered by the high level of RF radiation, which exceeds the recommended exposure level, and it may lead to a likely risk to the public health. This issue needs more research and fieldwork. Keywords Non-ionizing radiation, contamination, mobile phone antenna tower, Basra City. | ||
