Electromagnetic pollution analysis of Bitlis Eren University main and vocational school campus

In parallel with the development of technology, the increase in the number of devices emitting electromagnetic wave also increases the rate of electromagnetic pollution surrounding our environment. Determination of electromagnetic pollution level is of great importance for human health. In the present study, it was aimed to measure the electric field values of Bitlis Eren University main campus and vocational school campus in Turkey. Spectran HF60105 was used to perform the measurements at different 20 regions in different times. Based on the electric field values, the magnetic field and power density values were calculated for each location. It is found that the electric field values are below the limits which are determined by international standards.
