ENGINEERING RISK ASSESSMENT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC SITUATION IN THE AREA OF ROSTOV-ON-DON TELEVISION CENTER
The electromagnetic field (EMF) poses a serious threat to human life and health. The biological effect of EMF exposure in a long-term exposure accumulates. The result of this may be degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, blood cancer (leukemia), brain tumors, hormonal diseases, and malfunctions of certain organs and the human body as a whole. The purpose of the work is a theoretical assessment of the danger of electromagnetic situation in the area of Rostov-on-Don television center. The task is to determine the dangerous and harmful zone for the population due to the electromagnetic impact of the television center. The authors plan to: find the electric field strength taking into account the television center power transmitters, antenna amplification and the distance to residential facilities; determine radiant exposure at different distances from the television center; compare the results with the MPL of EMF radiant exposure taking into account sanitary and epidemiological requirements; find ways to protect residents from EMF effects. The result of the research is the theoretical assessment of the electromagnetic situation near the station. The dangerous and harmful zone for the population and the compliance with the sanitary norms and rules of placement of radio-television and radar stations №1823-78 are determined. The objects of the Zheleznodorozhny district of Rostov-on-Don the inhabitants of which are exposed to electromagnetic waves are specified. Ways of protection of inhabitants from EMF are found.
